Russian Blue kittens & cats in Temecula, California

Bagheera was about two months old when she was gifted to my daughter in 2016. Her breed was never made clear to us, but we assume she’s a Russian Blue/ Nebelung breed. She grew up being a playful kitten and loves her independence. As an adult cat, she continues to be independent and seeks affection when she wants it. She is used to a calm environment and loves laying at your feet while you lay on your couch/bed. She is an inside cat and hasn’t had any interaction with other animals or kids. I took over as her owner after my daughter moved out in 2020. I am now moving to a location overseas where the transportation is very costly and I had to make the choice of moving with little time to find Bagheera a home. I am not able to take her with me and wish to give her a home where she would be loved and taken care of. She is used to living with me, a middle aged woman, and think someone around that age would make it an easier transition for her.

Midnight is one of our feral barn cats that would love nothing more than to chase down those unwanted rodents! Midnight doesn't have a single friendly bone in her body and hates anything human. She'd do best on a property that doesn't need love, but needs a hunter!

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! Rescue mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old. SAWYER and his siblings (SKY & STUART) was saved by an independent rescuer. They came from a mom at a colony in the area South Los Angeles, California.

Meet SAWYER, a shy but endearing 1 year old Russian Blue from Los Angeles, California, whose heart is just waiting to bloom with the right touch of patience. Wrapped in a sleek, silvery-blue coat, SAWYER's appearance is as elegant as his breed’s reputation for being gentle and affectionate. Though he may start off skittish, once he feels safe and comfortable, you’ll quickly see the playful side of him emerge—especially if there are toys involved! This little guy has a deep love for playtime, and you’ll often find him happily chasing after a feather wand or pawing at a string with surprising energy. While his cautious nature may make him seem reserved at first, don't be fooled—Sawyer is full of curious spirit. He just takes his time getting comfortable with new faces and environments. Once he knows he’s in a loving and safe space, he’s sure to show off more of his playful, quirky personality. SAWYER is also a big fan of feline company, getting along well with other cats. He would thrive in a home where he can share the space with another calm, friendly cat companion who understands his need for gentle interactions. His love for other cats makes him a wonderful addition to a multi-cat household. And when it comes to meals, wet food is his absolute favorite—he’s not shy about letting you know it’s dinner time with a few soft meows. SAWYER is seeking a family who understands his shy nature and is willing to give him the time and patience he needs to truly settle in. With a calm, nurturing environment and a bit of understanding, SAWYER will reward his new family with quiet companionship, playful moments, and a loving bond that grows stronger every day.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Ivan is a beautiful shy boy. He's a sweetheart and loves getting chin scratches and pets. The best way to get him out of his shell is to encourage him with pets and string. Once he opens up, he's a playful boy. He'll even come when he's called (at least 50% of the time and depending on his mood... he is a cat after all!). He cuddles and loves to sleep on your bed at night. During the day, he likes his alone time but as soon as the sun comes down, he is out and about and is a total love bug. Ivan gets along with other cats well. Your patience integrating him into your home will be rewarded with a loyal, happy, loving new family member. Apply to meet Ivan today!

Smokey is a darling 15 year old Russian Blue lady. Her beloved owner and longtime feline friend passed way in a short time of each other. She is looking for a loving home to spend her golden years. Meet her in the cattery, at an adoption event or by calling (949) 388-0034 or apply at arkofsanjuan.org. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ • Adoption Event Schedule Wednesdays 4 pm - 7 pm Fridays 4 pm - 6 pm Saturdays 10 am - 5 pm Sundays 11 am - 5 pm • PetSmart San Juan Capistrano 33963 Doheny Park Rd.

*** Smokey & Bear are at Cat & Craft ***Smokey: solid gray, short hair, spayed female, born approx. 9/1/24, #19555 (smaller)Bear: solid gray, short hair, neutered male, born approx. 9/1/24, #19556 (bigger)Cats: **BONDED PAIR**Dogs: possiblyChildren: good BACKGROUND: Smokey and Bear were found by the boss of a Rescue House foster mom, which means they knew exactly who to ask about finding these sweethearts a forever home!PERSONALITY: These playful and affectionate twins will win you over fast! They love to play with assorted toys, and if you break out a laser pointer you’ll having them scrambling in pursuit. They view each other as live toys, and will wrestle and chase each other all around the house before taking a break for some Kitty TV or a cozy nap. They are particularly fond of enclosed nooks and have been known to let themselves into kitchen cabinets, so it’s good to provide somewhere dark and cozy for them to go that’s better than making a bed in the pots and pans. Smokey is the more outgoing of the two and she comes right up to you to be picked up and held, but after he has a chance to settle in then Bear will be right on her heels; once he warms up to you he is actually even more cuddly than his sister. Both love to be held, snuggled, and petted.---Smokey and Bear MUST be adopted together.COMPATIBILITY: The siblings love each other and would likely do well with other cats and probably dogs if given a proper and slow introduction. They are good with the older kids they’ve met and we think gentle children of all ages would be all right.Smokey and Bear will light a loving fire in your heart! Will you give them safe haven?
