They are such little characters with unique personalities and here are some special traits about each of them.   Archie - His foster home calls him the little gentleman. He is very sweet, mild mannered and charming. He enjoys playtime with his siblings, but he doesn't have over the top kitten energy. He would make an excellent snuggle buddy in bed at night or movie time on the couch.   Blizzard - He is the party animal of the litter; he is fearless and loves to test his limits. His foster home says he will keep you on your toes as he likes to play tricks on his siblings and entertains his people with his over-the-top personality. And he is also sweet as can be.   Cherie - She is a quintessential tortoiseshell girl. She is sassy, independent and confident. She loves to play with her siblings but is also good at self-entertaining. Her tortie markings are so beautiful, we could stare at her all day.   Dottie - She is the goofball of the group. She makes her foster home laugh with all her funny antics. When she was rescued, we noticed a single black spot on her head, at first, we all thought it was dirt, but it turned out to be a beauty mark instead. She is a gorgeous girl.   Echo - His foster home says he has a sidekick personality; he goes with the flow, but he isn't one to join the chaos. He chills with his people and watches the mayhem of his siblings. He joins in from time to time but mostly he is all about his humans. He likes to be where they are. They have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, dewormed, flea treatment applied and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $200 per kitten or $350 for a pair.

The exquisitely BEAUTIFUL ***Pearl The Golden Girl*** was rehomed from Coronado Military Family leaving the country. Her GORGEOUS, pearlescent white fur compliments a sweet, cuddly temperment that Turkish Van's are so well known for! Pearl LOVES socializing with her humans. She is a Well Bred Hostess who will ACTIVELY GREET all new guests that come into your home! Pearl particularly loves cuddling with well behaved children BOTH boys and girls! Her current foster home has two boys, 7 and 9yo who adore this gorgeous girl. Pearl will do best in a NO STRESS, LOW activity home. She prefers to be the ONLY Regal kitty to Rule over her Castle! She MAY tolerate an older, mellow doggy, if the canine has the proper amount of respect, lol, and stays away from her royal food dishes. Pearl would LOVE to live in an ALL WHITE HOME/Palace, as befits her breeding ;-) However, if you have chosen to decorate differently and the humans are CUDDLY and sufficiently adore her, she has said she would be delighted to adapt to your fashion and style. THIS GIRL is very human bonded, so we are looking for a match with humans at home MOST OF THE TIME (not the traditional 9-5 schedule). If you work at home, are a stay at home parent, or are a retired couplewith Excellent taste in Fancy Felines, THIS IS THE EXACT RIGHT KITTY FOR YOU! Potential homes and families for Pearl: Please respond and email to us WITH A PHONE NUMBER that you will answer when our Volunteer Adoption Counselor calls! Please state the BEST DAY AND TIME WINDOW you are available to chat, so we dont have to play telephone tag, lol. You will want to act quickly- Gorgeous Turkish Van White Dreamboats like Miss Pearl come along only once in a LIFETIME!

*** Katy is in a foster home ***White w/black patches Turkish Van mix, long hair, spayed female, born approx. 10/1/22, #18044Cats: likes Dogs: cat-savvy canines Children: adults onlyAlong with the rest of her litter, Katy was rescued from the streets as a young kitten. The family made their way to The Rescue House, and in foster care, they began to flourish. During her time there, we noticed that Katy has chronically weepy and slightly red eyes—the right more so than the left. We took her to the ophthalmologist, and she is on a regimen of three separate types of eye drops administered twice daily to address the issue. Even though things are under control, she requires follow-ups every six months to ensure nothing has changed. With that sorted and all of her siblings adopted, Katy now is ready to find her forever home too! On most days, you can find Katy embracing the true San Diego spirit by soaking up the sun in her favorite spot by the window! (In Katy’s opinion, naps are a must after breakfast or an afternoon of games and frolicking with her foster friends, so why not pick a sunny spot for a snooze?) Speaking of meals, Katy loves food and is vocal about making sure you know when it’s time to eat! Katy’s other favorite activity is playing. In terms of activities, she adores interactive wand toy sessions with you and boogying down on the playground with her feline companions! While she appreciates wrestling, cuddling, and romping around with kitten pals, she also is able to be independent and self-entertain. Adopting this playful sun-worshipping gastronome isn’t just for anyone. She is going to need a very special person who understands that she is exceptionally timid and reserved. Katy takes time to trust and form bonds with people. Not one to ever kiss on the first date, Katy expects you to put in the work to earn her affection and not to rush her as she settles in. Katy prefers to explore gingerly at her pace and retreat back to her safe space (under a bed) when she feels overwhelmed or afraid. Once she eventually lets her guard down, you will see an additional side to her. For example, if she thinks you have food or a treat, she will come out to greet you and do a little dance while meowing! Although she doesn’t necessarily want to be touched a bunch, Katy likes to be near her chosen person and enjoys affection on her terms.

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BELOW. IT WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. If you still have questions after, we are happy to respond through email. It is a long read and a long adoption process. Please understand we are ensuring that our babies go to great homes and we don't know you personally (yet). Understand that this is an adoption of a beautiful little soul that deserves the absolute best life. The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. 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! YAZHU and what we believe are his siblings were saved from a really rough neighborhood in LA County. This wonderful group that helps out people in that area do TNR (Trap - Neuter - Return) saved them. So the adults were all TNRed and the kittens were sent to rescues. We took on YAZHU and his siblings (YING - YANG - YISRAEL - YAWEN). YAZHU has been ready for his FUREVER home for a long time. Meet YAZHU, a cat with a personality that is as varied as it is endearing. Independent and brave, he is a feline who thrives on his own, yet is always ready for a game of chase. His smart and mellow nature makes him an excellent companion for quiet evenings. Despite his shy and timid demeanor, YAZHU has a sweet, curious, and goofy side that shines through once he warms up to you. He's known to be a bit skittish, but his love for treats always wins out. YAZHU is not just funny and playful, but he also brings joy and laughter to everyone around him. If you're looking for a cat who is full of surprises and will keep you on your toes, YAZHU is the one. His unique personality and love for life make him the perfect addition to any home looking for a little extra love and laughter. YAHZU absolutely has the personality of a Turkish Van cat. His personality is best described as energetic, playful and fun-loving. Turkish Vans like to be cuddled and held on their own terms, though not for long periods of time. But YAHZU does come look for pets. And he is totally treat motivated! YAZHU is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TURKISH VAN MIX. He has a black spot on his nose, black on his ears and a black tail. He is 4 years and 3 months old He has never been around small children. In the rescue he has been exposed to dogs and he is quite curious about them. He absolutely loves all cats! YAZHU is currently located at our rescue in Hemet, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. Go to Workinwhiskers.com (Click on ADOPT) 2. Fill Out Online Form 3. Submit Online Application 4.
