FINNIE, her mom BALALAIKA and her 5 siblings (DINGO - ALLIE - BEACON - EDNA - CLARA) were saved by the rescue mama's son in Lynwood, California. Her son found out thru a friend that there was a mama cat with six kittens that were lining in a bad neighborhood. The mama cat had a huge gash on her face, Needless to say, they went into action.
Her son was able to trap mom and the kittens were scooped up. She was rushed to the vet and is currently learning to adapt to indoor life. All her kittens are now healthy, social and ready for homes!
Meet FINNIE, a charming Bombay kitten from Lynwood, California, whose silky black coat gleams like a starlit sky. FINNIE is a delightful bundle of energy and affection, with a playful streak that will keep you smiling and a personality as bright as her luminous eyes.
This little sweetheart has a soft spot for toys—feathery wands, crinkly balls, or anything that rolls are her favorites. Watching her dart and pounce with kittenish glee is pure joy. FINNIE is also a big fan of treats, and her love for snack time makes her easy to engage and bond with. She’s the type of kitten who will happily trot over when she sees the CHURRU treats, ready to charm you with her adorably curious gaze.
When it comes to snuggles, FINNIE is wonderfully affectionate but on her own terms. She loves to curl up beside you or nuzzle close for some quality time, purring her heart out to show her contentment. However, FINNIE prefers not to be picked up—it’s just not her style. Instead, she shows her love by staying nearby and showering you with her warm, gentle presence.
FINNIE is also a social butterfly with other cats, making her a great fit for a home with feline friends. Her playful and friendly demeanor means she’ll quickly win the hearts of any cats she meets, turning playtime into a lively and joyous affair.
Bombay kittens like FINNIE are celebrated for their affectionate and intelligent natures, and she embodies these traits beautifully. Her sleek coat, dazzling eyes, and sweet personality make her an irresistible addition to any loving home.
Are you ready to welcome FINNIE into your family and let her sprinkle your life with joy, playfulness, and plenty of cuddles? Apply today to meet her. Could FINNIE be the perfect companion you’ve been looking for? She’s ready to fill your days with love and laughter!
