Story
This kitten was found in the garden of the senior apartments where I live, along with a companion kitten, but probably not a sibling. They were covered in fleas; one of the residents gave them flea baths, and sheltered them overnight. She wants to be involved in everything & she will learn your routine. Her dominant personality traits are her intelligence, her athletic ability (her ‘acrobatics’ is more accurate), and how much she likes to show off. She wants to be close to you and wants, and needs to be, a companion. She loves to play and would like a playmate. She is so intelligent she learned to play fetch in a day and a half, she learned to jump up on my shoulder (soft landing no claws). I am hoping for a perfect home for her. I have had her for 2+ months (what might be half her life). With some idea of her personality, I will try to tell you about her. To discuss her possible adoption, contact me through the shelter or email, for her full bio (and to discuss adoption).

Story
SAGE is a beautiful and special female Egyptian Mau / Domestic Shorthair cat, 1 year in age. Sage is playful and curious. She loves exploring and appreciates her independence. We currently have her as our office cat. She is used to being around other cats and dogs, but we feel she will be happiest as the only cat in her future home. Sage has a funny personality, she loves rubbing her little body on everything. She adores receiving attention and affection. Sage is a happy and chill cat looking for a forever home where she can love and be loved. If you are not located near our rescue or if the drive is a problem for you, please still apply, as we bring animals out to as far as San Diego in order to bring them to their forever homes. Currently, we are driving animals far out on an as-needed basis! If an animal is posted from us, they are AVAILABLE, however we sometimes do already have an adopter in place to meet them - however, please apply directly ASAP to ensure you get considered to meet them! We approve based on the best home, not first-come-first-serve. If you are interested in adopting and think you can provide a great home for this pet, please complete an online application so that we can better assess if this pet is a good match for you and your family. Once that is complete and we've approved you, we can set up a time for you to meet your potential companion for life! We are strictly by appointment-only. We apologize if you cannot reach us via phone, it is a personal phone # - we recommend emailing at cats@vida4animals.org for the quickest response. We apologize if we do not get to you quickly - we only have a few staff and volunteers, and we must focus on finding our animals good homes, but if you would like to help us improve and volunteer, let us know!
