Russian Blue kittens & cats in New Port Richey, Florida

Sweet Francesca (DOB: 5/22/23) came to us at a mere two weeks old with her siblings, Bear, Slate and Scrunchy (the latter two were adopted together). They were very cooperative bottle babies and have grown nicely. She's very independent yet affectionate, plays well with others and has no bad habits. Francesca does like to play with her foster mom's hair. She doesn't like to be picked up, but is always looking for love. Francesca is very active - loves her toy mice and springs and the laser and catnip. Both Francesca and her brother, Bear, are very sweet and would love a together forever home. DOB: 5/23/23

Rudy came to us as a stray, who was very leery of other cats. However, it took him a very short time to adapt and flourish among his newfound feline friends. Rudy scampers around the Sanctuary with pure glee. He's very loving to his foster mom, likes to sleep with her, and seeks her out throughout the day for conversation and petting. His forever home must have a safe screened in area for him to lounge in. He likes to play bite so small children are not recommended. Rudy definitely should not be an only cat. His best friend here these days is an extremely handsome guy named Teddie.DOB: 7/15/23)

Meet Stevie, a charming Russian Blue mix with a heart of gold. This sweet feline is in search of a forever home where patience is key. Once she feels safe and secure, Stevie transforms into a devoted and affectionate lap cat, ready to shower her lucky human with love and purrs. However, due to her timid nature, she's fearful of other cats and strangers, so a quiet and understanding household would be ideal for this gentle soul to thrive and blossom.

Meet handsome Asher a Russian Blue mix, who is a mostly independant boy that will ask for love and attention when needed but will also come when called! He loves to have a conversation with his people and to watch cat TV. He has lived in a home with other kitties and should do well with new roommates if provided a proper introduction. He would also do well as an only child. Being the big boy that he is, he may have a dominant side if the situation called for it. Asher was born on 4/18/2020 and has no know health issues. He prefers dry kibble but would be grateful for a spoon full of tuna or chicken in the evening. He loves his scratching post and to just hang and chill with the family. We would love for you to meet him!

Big Jax is super chill and gets along with everyone so don't let his tough guys face fool you! He is curious and playful, loves to be in the room with you, but is not lap cat. Needs scratching post & regular nail trim. He was given a small stuffed raccoon “Rocky” as a kitten & drags it everywhere! Still has a playful side and likes to get in the bucket of toys and play! Would do well in almost any living situation, other cats, dogs and children of all ages. He is a not purebred Russian Blue so would not do well in a home with allergies even though he has the low hair shedding and green eye traits.

Jaime Lannister (M) Tyrion Lannister (M) Jon Snow (M) Cersei Lannister (F) Sansa Stark (F) Arya Stark (F) Daenerys Targaryen (F) Mother Nature Knew What She Was Doing When She Created Kittens in Litters! Kittens need interaction with other kittens for healthy social development. A kitten learns a lot in the first several months of life from their mother and littermates. Separating a kitten from their mother is often a necessity for adoption purposes but taking it away from their littermates and isolating it can delay the kitten’s development emotionally, socially, and sometimes physically. Kittens who are able to remain with one of their littermates or a similarly aged companion tend to be healthier and happier, and in the long run, better socialized pets than those who are isolated from others of their kind at an early age. Even loving, caring, humans are not adequate substitutes for kitten companionship. Even if a person is fortunate enough to be home quite a bit, the amount of attention a lone kitten will demand is likely to occupy more time than the person has available. A pair of kittens will definitely still want to interact with people, but can keep each other occupied. Most cats, regardless of their age, are highly sociable and are truly happier living with other cat companions. This in turn makes them better pets. Kittens are curious and crave constant stimulation. Out of boredom, a single kitten will often entertain themself by chewing plants, climbing drapes and furniture, unrolling toilet paper, exploring electrical cords and sockets, etc. Kittens who live with other kittens may sometimes do these things as well, but if they have another kitten to tumble around and play with it is less likely they’ll need to entertain themselves with behaviors like these, which can be destructive and dangerous. Kittens bite and wrestle with one another–this behavior is normal. You can’t prevent a kitten from doing what comes naturally, any more than you can force a two-year-old toddler to sit still. Though it’s not acceptable for a kitten to bite and wrestle with their human companions, in the absence of having a littermate or companion their own age to play with, this is precisely what a single kitten will want to do. Even if you are willing to allow (and can tolerate) this behavior from your kitten, by the time the kitten matures, you will end up with an adult cat who has developed very bad habits (i.e. biting and scratching as “play”). Kittens are very active at night A single kitten is likely to keep people awake at night with constant jumping, pouncing and other “hunting” behavior. With a companion to play with at night, this behavior is minimized because they will have each other to chase and play games with until they too fall asleep. A single kitten is not a good companion for an older cat Kittens have boundless energy. They want to play and run constantly which typically overwhelms and irritates an older cat. Likewise, a kitten is apt to be frustrated that their companion doesn’t have their same level of energy. At the very least, this can lead to two very unhappy cats. At worst, behavior problems such as litter box avoidance or destructive scratching can occur as one or both cats act out their frustrations on their surroundings. It’s not likely that the two will have a close, bonded relationship, even after the kitten matures, since their experiences with one another from the beginning of the relationship are likely to be negative. An older cat is better matched with a cat closer to their own age and temperament. If you chose to add a kitten to a home with an older cat, adopt a pair of kittens, not a single kitten. This ensures the energetic kittens have buddies to play with and the older cat can choose to participate in playing or not.

Meet Izzy! A very masculine, handsome tank of a kitty who is about 5 years old who would make a great working kitty who is also friendly with excellent litter box skills!
