Balinese kittens & cats in Encinitas, California

*** Missy is in a foster home. ***Cream/brown/white Snowshoe mix, short hair, spayed female, born approx. 7/1/21, #19231Cats: may like a companion Dogs: probably not Children: tweens+ / adultsMissy was found fending for herself on the streets of LA and was taken to a local shelter where she was given a late-pregnancy spay. As she was recovering from that, she came down with a respiratory infection and stopped eating; she had already been skinny as her resources went into her pregnancy. It was then that she came to The Rescue House. With TLC and medical care, she has recovered from her infection and is eating heartily to regain necessary weight.Missy is still in the process of figuring out her new life of ready food and pampering; it was a big change, after all, and Missy most of all wants to feel safe. Yet even in the month she’s been into our care she has made leaps and bounds toward becoming an amazing future companion to her adopter. She first spent her days hiding and only coming out to eat at night. Now she is coming out to explore, happily devour her Churu treats, and come perch by the window. While she still favors secure nooks and a quiet environment, when her foster goes to find her Missy really leans into the pets and will chirp and purr. She is slowly discovering what toys she likes (the round trackball tower) and what she doesn’t like (wands with bells). She is a huge sweetie! When a cat is outwardly shy like Missy, she can get passed over for more blatantly outgoing cats, but the strides she has made should not be taken lightly and show the promise of what she can become with a patient and accepting adopter.While she has not yet interacted with any other cats in foster care, we think Missy may like a welcoming kitty companion to both be her friend and to help her boost her confidence. We don’t know her thoughts on dogs. Younger or boisterous children would not be a good fit. She needs a quieter and routine-structured environment. Missy’s sweet nature is already clear, and she just needs a special person to give her the time to fully flourish. Will you give her that chance?

*** Gus, Belle, Jazmine, and Aurora are at Cat & Craft ***Gus: cream/buff Siamese mix, short hair, neutered male, born approx. 7/2/24, #19277Belle: black/orange tortoiseshell, short hair, spayed female, born approx. 7/2/24, #19278Jazmine: gray/brown/orange torbie, short hair, sp. female, born approx. 7/2/24, #19279Aurora: black/orange tortoiseshell, short hair, spayed female, born approx. 7/2/24, #19280Cats: love! Dogs: likely good w/ intro Children: fabulous! BACKGROUND: These Disney delights were found with their mom when their eyes were just starting to open. They have grown up in the love and security of foster care.PERSONALITY: Sweetest litter ever! Playful, inquisitive, and oh-so-charming, they spend their days wrestling, playing, and purring. (Get ready for naps on laps!) Our clever cuties turn anything into a toy: little mice, scratchers, trackballs, tunnels, wands, a bro or sis, and even their own tail. For kittens, they have excellent manners and are learning new things every day!---Gus is a star and knows it! Confident and curious, this explorer is the leader of the pack. He’s a gregarious in-your-face kitten who wants to be with you at all times and share his opinions.---Belle is dainty, independent, and observant. This super-sweet happy-natured girl is the first to cuddle with you. She loves her little toy mice and will sometimes even play fetch!---Jazmine isn’t as rowdy or talkative as her siblings and has more of a chill vibe. She’s still plenty inquisitive and playful, and her ready purr will make your heart melt when you’re cuddling.---Aurora is the queen of the castle and super confident and curious. She loves to hang with people and snuggle and give kisses.COMPATIBILITY: This super-friendly group is good with other cats as well as gentle children. They haven’t met dogs though we think they’d likely adapt well with an intro. They’d love to be adopted in sibling pairs or to have a resident kitty friend.These kittens adore people and love to be the center of attention. Will they be the center of attention in your home?
