Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Poway, California

Sam is looking for a new family - We have known Sam since he was a 6 week old kitten who was abandoned underneath our deck along with his 4 siblings. We took them in, got them healthy and they were all adopted out to different family members. Sam went to live with Grandma who lovingly took care of him for almost 10 years before she passed away. Unfortunately, her love of Sam and her confusion in her later years means he never went without a full bowl a food. Sam is a big boy! Sam has been living with us for about the last year and he is a cuddle bug! He loves cuddling up on the couch, sleeping at my feet in bed and getting head scratches from the kids. We need find a new place for Sam to be loved because not only are all of us (2 adults, 2 kids) various levels of allergic to cats, but we have also relocated from a house into a smaller apartment and Sam does not seem like he is as happy as he once was with sharing his space with everyone all the time.

MEET KYLO REN! Kylo Ren's journey began in true hero-in-the-making fashion: a tiny underdog facing impossible odds. He was surrendered to Devore Animal Shelter in September 2025 at just 4 weeks old -- far too young to survive on his own. In years past, kittens under 8 weeks without mothers were automatically euthanized, but today the shelter calls on rescue partners like Kitty Devore Rescue when their own fosters are full and gives us until day's end to intervene. For Kylo, that lifeline opened the door to a whole new galaxy. A temporary foster stepped up instantly to guide him through his vulnerable neonatal stage, and when he was nearly three months old and strong enough to join a star system of his own, a long-term foster family welcomed him in. It was his foster mom's husband -- an avid Star Wars fan -- who looked at this tiny, dark-furred apprentice and christened him Kylo Ren. Despite the fearsome Sith-Lord name, Kylo Ren's heart is firmly on the Light Side. This sleek little panther is all warmth, purrs, and devotion. His favorite place in the universe is anywhere he can curl up against you -- chest, arms, lap, or shoulder -- becoming your personal pocket-sized co-pilot. He's impressively well-mannered for a youngling: fully litter-box reliable, a respectful scratcher, and a gentle, mindful player. His playtime missions include chasing comet-like wand toys, batting at planets disguised as bouncy balls, and investigating every crinkly artifact in his orbit. Social by nature, Kylo adores other cats, gets along beautifully with kids, and even considers dogs suitable members of his intergalactic alliance. If you're seeking a kitten who brings both cosmic charm and down-to-earth affection, Kylo Ren is ready to join your crew -- no lightsaber required. To adopt this playful, cuddly, star-bright companion, visit www.kittydevorerescue.org and submit an adoption application. Once approved, an adoption officer will guide you through the next steps on your journey. Bring Kylo home... and may the purrs be with you.

MEET LEONHARD! This spunky guy was approximately 6 weeks old when he entered Kitty Devore foster care in June of 2024. Leonhard instantly stood out as the loudest member of his family, singing the song of his people the entire car ride home from the shelter. He had a lot of questions and concerns that he wanted to share with management, most of which involved food. (Even with a severe kitten cold, his appetite never waned.) He has a fearless approach to life that is most evident in his tussles with the robot vacuum. Only the bravest of cats is willing to face such a foe. But Leonhard also has a soft side that shows when he asks to be picked up and cuddled, falls asleep draped over a shoulder on the back of the couch, or snuggles up with his foster brother. He runs to the door when his foster parents get home and greets strangers as if he has known them forever. At the heart of his talkative nature is a desire to be acknowledged and loved. Leonhard’s left eye sometimes gets weepy, and the vet thinks he might breathe loudly from time to time because of his crooked nose, but these things can’t keep a big boss kitty down. He has friends to make, toys to play with, laps to sleep on, and a whole world to explore. Because of his active spirit, Leonhard needs to be in a home with another kitty that can keep him entertained. He would love to be adopted with his foster brother, Harlo, the yin to his yang. Shy kitties may not appreciate Leonhard’s aggressive approach. There are no dogs in his foster home, but he has been introduced to canines and instantly loved them. Are you looking for a furry bestie that will take an interest in all of your activities and have an unwavering dedication to being your miniature shadow?

MEET DARLINGTON! Darlington was rescued from Devore Animal Shelter in November 2024 when he was just a month old, along with his mom, Fontana, and siblings Concord, Sonoma, and Daytona. Too young to remember the shelter, he has grown up entirely in the safety and comfort of his foster home. As a very young kitten, Darlington and his littermates were quite ill, but thanks to attentive care and lots of love, he made a full recovery and is now healthy, active, and thriving. Gentle, affectionate, and playful, Darlington is a sweetheart who adores chin scratches, lap snuggles, and cozy companionship. He’s also a joyful little character who loves collecting crunch balls, zooming through crinkle chutes, and investigating boxes as if they hold great secrets. Darlington is especially bonded to his brother Sonoma, and the two are rarely far apart—playing, lounging, and keeping each other company with an easy, affectionate rhythm that speaks to their deep connection. Darlington would thrive in a calm, loving home that values companionship and is open to welcoming a bonded pair. Ideally, he and Sonoma would be adopted together, as they are the last two kittens from their litter still waiting for a forever home and bring out the very best in one another. If you’re ready to open your heart to Darlington (and hopefully his brother Sonoma too), please visit www.kittydevorerescue.org to submit an adoption application. ** Darlington and Sonoma both reside in a Kitty Devore Rescue foster home in San Marcos, CA.

MEET SONOMA! Sonoma was rescued from Devore Animal Shelter in November 2024 when he was just a month old, along with his mom, Fontana, and siblings Concord, Darlington, and Daytona. Too young to remember anything but love and safety, he grew up in a devoted foster home as part of the "NASCAR family," where he blossomed into a bright, affectionate, and playful kitten. Sonoma is a joyful little character with a heart full of affection and a flair for fun. He adores chin scratches, responds with enthusiastic purrs, and is always in the mood for a game—especially if it involves crinkle chutes, cardboard boxes, or his prized crunch balls. But his playfulness is matched by his incredible resilience. As a survivor of FIP, Sonoma once lost mobility in his hind legs, but thanks to an 84-day treatment protocol, he made a full recovery. Though he occasionally misses the litter box due to lingering nerve damage, he uses it when he senses the urge, and the mishaps are minor and manageable. His energy, mobility, and loving spirit remain undiminished, and he gets along wonderfully with people and other cats. Sonoma shares a deep, devoted bond with his brother Darlington—the two are constant companions, playmates, and nap buddies. While they'd love to stay together, Sonoma can also be adopted solo to a home ready to embrace his sweet quirks and boundless charm. If you're ready to welcome a spirited and snuggly survivor into your life, visit www.kittydevorerescue.org to apply to adopt Sonoma today!

MEET HARLO! This adorable mini-panther was approximately nine weeks old when he entered Kitty Devore's foster care on July 19, 2024. Someone brought Harlo to Devore Animal Shelter after being found at a structure fire in Fontana. Luckily, he only suffered singed whiskers and fur. When he arrived at his foster home, Harlo was understandably nervous around people. Even though he was scared, he was a perfect gentleman when given a bath on the first day. Signs quickly appeared, indicating that he was becoming more comfortable - his toys would be moved from their original spots, and tiny black paws started appearing under the door of his room when curious kittens were waiting outside. It didn't take long for this little guy to transform into a confident and playful kitten who can keep up with his foster siblings, no problemo! He walks around the house with his tail held high and happily accepts human hands reaching out to pet him randomly. He can't resist turning on the motor when picked up and cuddled. Harlo also enjoys phone screens and watching TV - he'll hop up on the back of the couch to drape himself over a shoulder and join the viewing party. Harlo would love to be adopted with the remaining member of his foster siblings from the Math Cat family - Leonhard. His foster home has no dogs, so his feelings about a canine companion have yet to be determined. Are you looking for a lovable purr machine to brighten your day?
