Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BELOW. IT WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. If you still have questions after, we are happy to respond through email.
It is a long read and a long adoption process. Please understand we are ensuring that our babies go to great homes and we don't know you personally (yet). Understand that this is an adoption of a beautiful little soul that deserves the absolute best life.
The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. So don't let that discourage you from adopting an adult cat!
EUROPA and her kittens (ATALANA - CIRCE - DESPONIA - ZEPHYR) were saved in San Jacinto, California. The wonderful couple saved them from the very cruel neighbors. So they called us. They are currently fostering them. And we are so glad they did.
Meet EUROPA, a loving and nurturing mama cat from San Jacinto, California, who has dedicated herself to raising her six adorable kittens. With her sleek black and white fur, EUROPA is the picture of feline elegance, but don't let her sweet appearance fool you—she's got a lively spirit, too!
EUROPA is still full of energy, with those playful zoomies that pop up when you least expect them. Whether it's chasing after a toy or darting around a box, she’s always up for a little fun. Boxes? Blankets? Toys? If it’s around, EUROPA will make sure to get involved in the action. But when it’s time to rest, she knows how to unwind and snuggle herself into soft, cozy blankets, napping for hours in complete comfort.
EUROPA's true talent, however, lies in her role as a mama. She's been the absolute best teacher to her six kittens, guiding them through their first few months with patience, care, and lots of love. They’ve been lucky to have her as their role model—learning not just how to be playful, but how to be good, well-behaved kitties.
And don’t think EUROPA is shy about asking for what she wants! She absolutely adores snacks and wet food, and she's not afraid to let you know with her sweet, yet persistent, vocalizations. If you're ever near her food bowl, you’ll be sure to hear a little meow or two, a charming reminder that she's always ready for a tasty treat.
EUROPA is looking for a family who appreciates her playful, loving nature and can offer her a comfortable space to relax and be pampered. Could your family be the one to give this sweet mama cat all the love and attention she needs as she continues to shine in her own purrfect way?
If you're ready to welcome EUROPA into your family, please apply on our website. She's excited to meet you and share all the love she has left to give!
EUROPA is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TUXEDO MIX. She is about 14 months old. She has lived with cats. She used to playing with a Aussie Shepard dog. She has never been around children.
EUROPA is currently at PETSMART *** 25290 Madison Ave, Murrieta, CA 92562 ***
