Calico kittens & cats in Calistoga, California

Found all alone in Napa, Telly came to WCAL from an AT&T maintenance yard as an itty bitty baby who needed to be bottle-fed. You may have seen her on WCAL's social media! Telly is a petite little girl who is 100% athlete. There isn't a surface she can't reach! She's also smart and really fun to share a home with. Every once in a while, Telly even slows down enough to cuddle! She loves her humans and is an amazing young cat. Her foster family has nothing but great things to say about this beautiful and outspoken calico. We're looking for an adopter who agrees and won't mind providing a special diet and attentive care.We had some trouble weaning this little baby from a bottle onto canned food because she wasn't able to keep solids down at first. Telly was spayed and got a nose-to-tail sedated examination of her throat, esophagus, stomach, and intestines. No abnormalities or polyps or physical defects were found, but as she grew up a little bit, we noticed irritated red ulcers on her lips. Her vet confirmed with a biopsy that she's an extra sensitive girl who suffers from indolent ulcers (also called eosinophilic granulomas). These are not painful or itchy, but they can cause difficulty eating and we certainly don't want them to get infected or become a bigger issue for her. Luckily these small ulcers on the lips are usually caused by a food or flea allergy (both of which we can treat!) and this tracks with our observations about Telly's extra sensitive digestive system. She is now eating a special hydrolyzed diet and will need to continue monthly flea meds (even as an indoor-only kitty) to keep her feeling her very best. If you would enjoy sharing your home with an outspoken calico princess and don't mind feeding her a special diet to keep her feeling her best, then we have the kitten for you!This kitten is one of those extra special babies - the ones our volunteers have bottle-raised. Kittens raised by humans are extra comfortable around people and love attention. Since they didn't have the opportunity to be raised by a mama cat, they have zero street smarts and we are looking for a family who is committed to keeping them indoorsonlyfor life. Act fast if you'd like to have a WCAL bottle baby in your family. Follow us on social media for daily updates!

GiGi is sponsored by: Michael Snider SNAP Cats rescued GiGI from Palm Springs, CA. This girl is all Calico! And you know what THAT means. Sweet one minute; not so sweet the next. Age has mellowed her a bit, but she still has that edge that makes calicos, well, calicos. The perfect home? A calm, kid-free environment with a high perch and a window to watch the birds outside would be ideal. Oh, and wet food. GiGi LOVES wet food. Gotta have that! The right flavor, of course. Which varies from day to day. Of course. If you’re interested in May please fill out an adoption application at https://www.snapcats.org/category/adoption/catsforadoption/. Thanks.October 15, 2024, 5:39 pm

Gala is sponsored by: Carrie Adams SNAP Cats rescued Gala from Dubai (UAE). Gala is the sweetest cat ever! She cannot get enough attention. Gala’s the first one to greet you when you come in the room, and follows you around looking for pets and rubs. Gala gets along with other cats really well. But don’t know about dogs. If you’re looking for a wonderful companion who wants to be with you all of the time, Gala’s the one for you!October 15, 2024, 5:39 pm

Matilde is sponsored by: Alice Weigel SNAP Cats rescued Matilde from Mozambique, Africa. Matilde is a very sweet kitty. She’ll greet you when you come in the room, and solicit pets until it’s enough. She is a Calico after all. Matilde gets along well with other cats or will fit in nicely as an only cat. BTW: Please don't be afraid of FIV. It's nothing. Really. Slightly compromised immune system. That's it. Just like a FIV- cat, Matilde will live a long, healthy life if you take good care of her. Matilde's not aggressive toward other cats so there's no chance of her transmitting it. If you’re interested in Matilde please fill out an adoption application at https://www.snapcats.org/category/adoption/catsforadoption/. Thanks.October 15, 2024, 5:39 pm

June is sponsored by: Leigh Behrens SNAP Cats rescued June from Sacramento, CA. (bio coming but she's a very sweet and active girl!)November 7, 2024, 4:19 pm

Fiji is *very* into his people. An introvert, he is not! This snuggle monster wants to be wherever you're at. Fiji's most favorite thing in the entire world is a basket of laundry fresh out of the dryer. Once hes in it, folding has to wait, and his foster family is ok with that because hes just so darn cute! Other hobbies include laying directly on your chest and gazing lovingly into your eyes. Fiji has lots of cat friends, and he's also really helpful when it's time to change the sheets! Fiji is a flopper! This special boy has a strong motor, and when he really gets going, it activates a bit of happy kitty drool! He was born with early kidney disease, but despite this unfortunate diagnosis, Fiji's growing up to he a happy, playful cuddle bug in a WCAL foster home.He takes his twice-daily supplements with ease in a spoon of canned food, and although he has kidney disease, we would not characterize him as sick. Rather, Fiji is managing a chronic illness and absolutely living his best life. We hope he's the exception to the rule, and we're all rooting for Fiji to be adopted by a great family where he can live a nice long life. Cats sure have a way of surprising us and we love it when that happens. Fiji is eating regular kitten food (he LOVES canned food, so obviously, we give him as much as he likes!). One day, after he is full grown, he may need to transition to a KD prescription diet. No fluids are required currently. Every day is precious, and his ideal adopters will understand this. Fiji shares a foster home with lots of other friendly cats and gets along well with them all. Fiji loves everything and everyone, and in return, everyone loves him back. His foster family believes he is one of the best cats ever, and after 6 years of fostering non-stop, they have met a lot of cats  Follow us on social media for daily updates!

This beauty is named Bitsy. She tucks her paws into the cutest little loaf when she hangs out in her spotted cat house and watches the humans. This hidey spot helps her feel comfortable when loud things happen. Plus, it's adorable! This 1.5 year old likes wand toys, bird watching, other cats, and people who let her come to them. Bitsy has just recently swapped foster homes and is already hopping up onto the bed to solicit love and affection! It's amazing how fast cats can blossom when we respect their boundaries and work within their comfort zone! Bitsy is incredibly cat social, and we'd love to find her a home with another nice kitty or two and some super cool humans Follow us on social media for daily updates!

These sisters have made an amazing recovery! Found cold and wet in a ditch, we weren't sure if they'd both pull through. They got a lot of TLC from their foster and are now happy, healthy girls. These two play together and cuddle together. Since they had a long recovery and had to be isolated from the resident pets in their foster home, we're just now able to cuddle and hold them. Yin is a chatty girl who uses her paws to get your attention. Yang likes to carry a mouse toy in her mouth and she's always happy for belly rubs. They are becoming more confident by the day, but aren't quite ready for a loud and rowdy home with young kids. Yin & Yang make a beautiful pair! Follow us on social media for daily updates!
