Turkish Van kittens & cats in Fontana, California

This sweet girl was in a bad situation, her owners said that she was too hyper for them and they kicked her out of the house. A very kind lady took her in and then got her to us. She is not hyper, she is a super sweet, energetic fun kitten. She loves to play with the other cats. She does like to be pet and enjoys being around us. Understandably she can be shy and isn’t comfortable yet with being picked up. We adore her and are looking for her forever home

** COURTESY POST FOR INDEPENDENT VOLUNTEER TRAPPER/FOSTER: This is Mishka. Her name means "cute" in Russian, and she sure is! She's also a very sweet well mannered girl who loves to play. Mishka is mostly White with some Tabby patches here and there, including the cutest Cindy Crawford mark above her lip. Mishka was rescued from a backyard when she was only about 6 weeks old. Her and her mama were homeless and brought in to safety. As a kitten she quickly made friends with others. She still has that kitten energy as her favorite thing to do is get the Zoomies and run up her cat tree! It is so funny to watch her parkour skills! She also enjoys fitting herself into boxes and small spaces. She can be a little shy at first but when she's ready to relax after all that hard play, she loves the company of her people and to sit next to them while they are chilling on the couch. Mishka's favorite thing above all is her sister Tunia. They are so very bonded, sleep together, play and groom each other. Mishka and sister must be adopted as a pair as they would be heartbroken to be separated. * Date of Birth: August 2020 (approx) * Color/Breed: Turkish Van - White with Gray & Black Points & Patches * Eye Color: Green * Spayed * Vaccinated * SNAP Tested FELV/FIV Results: Negative/Negative * Microchipped * Flea Treated * Dewormed * Litterbox Trained * Litter Preference: All Natural, Unscented * Scratch Post Preference: Rope Sisal & Cardboard * Littermates/Best Friends: Petunia ADOPT-A-PET FORMS EXPLANATION: * Adoption Application: If you are ready to adopt, filling out an adoption application gets the adoption process moving forward for approval & home delivery.

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.

CASION and CASSIE were living in really bad area of Torrance, CA. The independent rescuer was asked to help get the local strays fixed and save these 2 teenagers. We were more than happy to help! These poor little guys were so malnourished, sick and scared. So once there was space at our rescue, we picked them up! Meet CASION, a gentle and shy black and white Turkish Van from Torrance, California, whose sweet nature is just waiting to be uncovered by a patient and loving family. CASION may be a little skittish at first, but once he feels safe and secure, his playful side shines through, and you'll discover what a joyful companion he truly is. CASION’s delicate personality means he’s not one to rush into new situations, but with a little time and a lot of understanding, he becomes a loving presence in your home. He’s especially fond of wet cat food and churru treats—there’s nothing quite like seeing his eyes light up when he gets a taste of something yummy. His quiet demeanor can sometimes be mistaken for shyness, but CASION has a lot of love to give once he feels at ease. This Turkish Van is also playful and curious, and he loves to chase after toys and explore his surroundings when he’s feeling comfortable. His playful spirit is sure to bring a smile to your face as he tumbles around, showing off his natural agility. CASION also adores the company of other friendly cats. He’s a social kitty at heart and would thrive in a home with another gentle feline friend to share his days with. CASION may be a little more reserved than some cats, but in the right environment, with a patient family who understands his need for slow introductions, he will blossom into a loyal, affectionate companion. He truly needs a loving home where he can feel safe to be himself and share his sweet personality with those who care for him. Could you offer CASION the home he needs to become the playful, loving cat he was meant to be? If you’re ready to help this shy boy come out of his shell and experience the joy of his company, apply today and give CASION the true home he’s been waiting for! CASION is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TURKISH VAN-TUXEDO MIX. He is about 3 years 9 months old. He is good with cats. He has never been around young children or dogs.
