Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Solana Beach, California

*** Reina is in a foster home ***Solid white w/dark brown accents, long hair, spayed female, born approx. 8/1/21, #17233Cats: only other FeLV+ kittiesDogs: unknown Children: older kids/tweens/teens might be okayThis beautiful kitty fell upon hard times when her previous guardians moved, leaving her behind to fend for herself. Not one to be a victim, Reina wasn't afraid to approach people, and she immediately enlisted the help of some very kind girls in the neighborhood. They contacted The Rescue House, and now, Reina has a second chance at finding her forever family!Reina is a gorgeous, sweet girl! Like most kitties, she initially is bashful towards strangers or in new situations. Once Reina settles in and gets comfortable, however, she will happily cuddle up and ask for affection! In fact, she CRAVES your attention! Every morning when she hears you wake up, she will jump on the bed and deliver a big purr to say, "I'm ready for breakfast!" When you come home, she'll eagerly run to greet you with her chatty meows. According to Reina, your touch is heavenly. The scritches combo of head + cheeks + chin will have her drooling with bliss! To keep her luscious long fur looking divine, she adores being brushed. Still a kitten at heart, she is extremely playful and finds great joy in chasing and jumping after wand toys! A skilled huntress, Reina gets her thrills from watching the birds and catching all the insects that creep into the house. When she needs some rest, she'll stretch out on the sofa or lounge by a window. Her favorite spots are on the couch (snuggling next to her humans) and under the blankets where she can stay nice and toasty during the cold winter. When Reina was abandoned by her people, she unfortunately contracted both the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) from outdoor community cats. There are no cures for these viruses. Although many cats can thrive for a normal life span with FIV, also having FeLV sadly will shorten her life expectancy. Currently, she has no symptoms or signs of illness related to either-she's not on any medication and doesn't need any treatment. While Reina cannot transmit FeLV to a creature of another species (such as a dog or a human), it can be passed in casual contact between kitties. As a result, Reina will need to be the only cat unless she joins a household with a resident FeLV+ feline. She has never encountered dogs and would not enjoy noisy canines. Her ideal home would be a very quiet place with no loud animals. Since she can be a bit playfully feisty (gently using her teeth), a residence without young children would be best.This wonderful darling deserves a forever family that will give her the warmth and affection she longs for. In return, Reina will reward you with endless love and appreciation! Could you be the one for her?

*** Kiara is in a our Petco Mira Mesa adoption center ***White w/ black tabby spots, long hair, spayed female, born approx. 9/21/15, #19018Other cats: no thank you Dogs: no thank you Children: respectful tweens+ BACKGROUND: Kiara lost her home because she was under constant stress by the other resident cat who was consistently aggressive to her. This translated to her developing idiopathic cystitis which mimics the signs of a urinary tract infection but is usually brought on by stress. Kiara moved into a foster home where she is the only cat around and had tests run; the tests came back clear and her issues resolved once she was able to truly relax. PERSONALITY: Kiara is a lovely lady who is looking for a place to call home. She is elegant, fluffy, kind, and loving! She enjoys spending her time lounging (preferably near a sunny window) and receiving attention from you. Kiara is eager for affection: she likes to be petted and responds very well to gentleness and tranquility. She prefers to keep her paws under her own control rather than be picked up, but if you're sitting on the couch then you're fair game! Kiara will come put her head on your arm or paws up to your shoulder and will end up partway on your lap. She'll also walk behind you on the back of the couch and nuzzle the back of your neck with her chin on your shoulder... awwww. Kiara likes to be groomed, which is fortunate because that helps her keep that gorgeous fluffy fur in perfect order. She prizes quality time spent in your company and is a wonderful companion kitty who isn't overly demanding... she just asks that you love her and respect her boundaries if she's not in the mood. This friendly kitty appreciates peace and love, and we're hoping she finds a home that is full of both!COMPATIBILITY: Kiara needs to be the only fur-child in a calm and quiet home. She doesn't like toddlers or overly boisterous children, though respectful tweens have been fine.Sweet Kiara is hoping to find a special person to love her forever! Will she be your new BFF?

*** Donny & Garfield are in a foster home. ***Donny: black/white tuxedo, medium hair, neutered male, born 5/12/24, #19114Garfield: orange tabby, long hair, neutered male, born approx. 5/7/24, #19156Cats: *BONDED PAIR* & like others Dogs: likely can adapt Children: respectful kids welcome BACKGROUND: It was Mother's Day when a sick cat was found in distress. She was brought into a local cat clinic along with her newly born kittens that had been found in a nearby pile. The mother cat was very ill and unable to produce milk, so the kittens were immediately brought to a foster. Unfortunately, most of the kittens were undeveloped and did not make it, but with some intensive care from his foster family, Donny was able to survive. Garfield's journey began as a tiny bottle baby surrendered to a shelter when he needed care the most. We knew Donny needed a friend and Garfield was just the purrfect kitten to be his playmate.PERSONALITY: Don't let their rough starts fool you: these kittens have grown into social butterflies, brimming with confidence and friendliness. Donny and Garfield are little socialites in fur coats! Both thrive on human interaction and each has a magnetic personality that draws you in. Their ideal home is one filled with love, laughter, and plenty of playtime. They promise to fill your days with joy, your nights with cuddles, and your life with the friendship that only a special feline companion can offer. Donny and Garfield's playful antics are a delight to watch and their energy is infectious. Whether they are chasing after a toy mouse or pouncing on a feather wand, they are always up for a game. ---Donny is loving, kind and gentle. He has a wonderful purr, loves to be held, and particularly loves wet food. He takes a bit of a back seat when playing, waiting patiently for his turn. ---Garfield is the type of kitten who would choose a warm lap and gentle strokes over a meal any day. His affectionate nature makes him the perfect companion for someone who appreciates a cat with a strong desire for companionship.---Donny and Garfield are a perfect pair with great balancing energy. They MUST be adopted together.COMPATIBILITY: The boys love each other and should do well with other welcoming kitties. They have seen dogs recently, and though not fully comfortable yet they would likely adapt to life with a cat-friendly pooch. Respectful children are welcome.If you're ready to open your heart and home to these charming little fluffs, come meet Donny and Garfield! They are ready to write the next chapter of their story with you.

*** Diesel is in a foster home ***Grey & white bicolor, long hair, declawed, neutered male, born approx. 3/30/16, #18993Cats: okay solo or with large male catDogs: lived with previouslyChildren: all agesBACKGROUND: Diesel lost his longtime home through no fault of his own when his previous guardian had a change in living circumstances. No longer able to keep her beloved felines, she reached out to The Rescue House. Diesel and his two siblings moved into foster care to receive lots of TLC and heal his broken heart. A true romantic, Diesel can't wait to meet his forever-and-ever family!PERSONALITY: Diesel is a huge hunk of fluffy love! Our BIG boy is super sweet and very sociable. He adores human company and will often join in on the conversations. This chatty lad has plenty of stories to share with the crowd. He also can be handled or held without issue. Proud of his flowy coat, Diesel loves being brushed and pet. It's a great way for you two to bond and keep him looking majestic! Experienced with kids, he enjoys being around the action and noise. He's a confident fellow who seldom hides, except when his nemesis is on the prowl... the infamous vacuum! For fun, he likes to tussle with feather toys, pounce on the cat chasers and climb up the kitty tower. While in foster care, Diesel was diagnosed with mast cell tumors. With medication, his prognosis is very good. Healthy otherwise, this spry guy is expected to have a normal lifespan. Ever the optimist, he took his vet visits as opportunities to make friends. The clinic staff absolutely adored him! We have no doubt that Diesel will win over your entire family! COMPATIBILITY: Diesel would do well as a solo kitty or could live with another large male cat. He didn't seem to warm up to the two female cats in his foster home. He has lived with a dog before and could likely adjust to a feline-friendly canine. Diesel also was raised right alongside the family's young children and does well with kids of all ages. With his long locks and brilliant personality, Diesel is quite the catch! Will you be the lucky recipient of his never-ending love and affection?
