Snowshoe kittens & cats in National City, California

*** Missy is in a foster home. ***Cream/brown/white Snowshoe mix, short hair, spayed female, born approx. 7/1/21, #19231Cats: may like a companion Dogs: probably not Children: tweens+ / adultsMissy was found fending for herself on the streets of LA and was taken to a local shelter where she was given a late-pregnancy spay. As she was recovering from that, she came down with a respiratory infection and stopped eating; she had already been skinny as her resources went into her pregnancy. It was then that she came to The Rescue House. With TLC and medical care, she has recovered from her infection and is eating heartily to regain necessary weight.Missy is still in the process of figuring out her new life of ready food and pampering; it was a big change, after all, and Missy most of all wants to feel safe. Yet even in the month she's been into our care she has made leaps and bounds toward becoming an amazing future companion to her adopter. She first spent her days hiding and only coming out to eat at night. Now she is coming out to explore, happily devour her Churu treats, and come perch by the window. While she still favors secure nooks and a quiet environment, when her foster goes to find her Missy really leans into the pets and will chirp and purr. She is slowly discovering what toys she likes (the round trackball tower) and what she doesn't like (wands with bells). She is a huge sweetie! When a cat is outwardly shy like Missy, she can get passed over for more blatantly outgoing cats, but the strides she has made should not be taken lightly and show the promise of what she can become with a patient and accepting adopter.While she has not yet interacted with any other cats in foster care, we think Missy may like a welcoming kitty companion to both be her friend and to help her boost her confidence. We don't know her thoughts on dogs. Younger or boisterous children would not be a good fit. She needs a quieter and routine-structured environment. Missy's sweet nature is already clear, and she just needs a special person to give her the time to fully flourish. Will you give her that chance?

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, shots current (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies where applicable), dewormed, flea and tick treated, and microchipped.  * If you are interested in a dog, please first read the biography on the dog (keep scrolling down for the bio!) and then go to our website, www.dpsrescue.com for an application. Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Our Beach Litter are 5 months old and all boys. We know that summer is coming to an end but just think, if you adopt one of them, you can have summer year-round! They are a fun bunch of kittens who are very sweet and loving. They bring a lot of good energy to the home; their foster Mom says they have been a blast to raise. Now it's time for them to find their forever homes. They are social and playful and have been fostered in a home with another adult cat and four large breed dogs. They get along great with everyone. We think a home with kids would be fine too as they are easygoing and fun-loving guys. Here are some individual personality traits that set them apart from one another. Malibu - This handsome tuxedo boy is very expressive and charming. He is independent and confident. He loves hanging out by the bathtub when his foster mom takes a relaxing bath. He is mesmerized by the water and calming scents of the bath bombs. He is a super boy, and anyone would be lucky to have him in their life. Newport - He is a fabulous boy who is quite a little character. He is very smart, and we think he could definitely be trained to do tricks and play fetch. He is the most adventurous one of the group and the first to investigate new things. He is social and playful, and most of all sweet. Pebble - He is an absolute cuddle monster. He sleeps right next to his foster mom every night and enjoys being next to his human at all times. He gets along great with other cats, dog and kids. If you are looking for an affectionate kitten that will adore you, look no further. Sunset - He is such a handsome little guy. His sparkling blue eyes just draw you in and his regal personality keeps you there. He is playful and sweet and easy going. He would also be a great companion for an existing cat or dog as he gets along great with the resident pets in his foster home. They have been neutered, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, dewormed, flea treatment applied, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $200 per kitten or $350 for a pair.
