Hi! My name is Bowlingball and here is a bit more about me :
My Journey I was rescued from the streets of Tijuana by a kind woman who made sure I got the help I needed through Smittens. I had some dental issues when I arrived, including stomatitis, but after a full mouth extraction I’m feeling fantastic—comfortable, pain-free, and happier than ever. I was also diagnosed as FeLV+, and with proper care and lots of love, I’m thriving and ready to find my forever home.
My Social Life People are my absolute favorite. I adore human companionship and want to be as close to you as possible at all times. Other cats ? I get along well with other cats, but because I’m FeLV+, I’ll need to be either your one-and-only or live with another FeLV+ kitty. Dogs ? I haven’t shared much about dogs yet, but my calm, easygoing nature suggests I’d do best in a peaceful, predictable environment.
My Personality Affectionate, easygoing, and devoted. I’m a true “velcro cat”—once I start cuddling, I don’t stop. I’m a mellow, middle-aged gentleman with a big heart, a loud purr, and a talent for making sure no one ever feels lonely. I’m also quite expressive, especially when it’s time to eat—I believe communication is key!
I Enjoy… Endless snuggles and lap time Being close to my humans (very close!) Mealtime—and reminding you when it’s approaching A calm, cozy home where I can relax and feel safe
I’m Not a Fan Of… Too much stress or chaos. I do best in a relaxed environment where routines are gentle and affection is plentiful.
What Makes Me Special I’m the ultimate cuddle companion—affectionate to my core and happiest when wrapped up in love. I’ve been through a lot and come out the other side sweeter than ever, with a deep appreciation for comfort, care, and connection.
My Perfect Home I’d thrive in a loving home where I can soak up attention and enjoy a calm, stress-free lifestyle. Whether as a cherished only cat or with another FeLV+ feline friend, I’m ready to be someone’s loyal, snuggly shadow.
My Special Needs / Health Info I’m FeLV+ (Feline Leukemia Virus), which means I’ll need to be an only cat or live with another FeLV+ cat. FeLV is contagious only to other cats—not people or other animals. I’ll need regular veterinary checkups, a good diet, and a low-stress environment to help me stay healthy. Some FeLV+ cats live just a few years, while others live a normal lifespan—I’m cu

More about this rescue
Smittens isn’t just another cat rescue.
We are a coalition of volunteers with a spay/neuter mission, dedicated to helping both stray and owned animals in the greater San Diego area get fixed, receive veterinary care, and whatever else they may need! Smittens works with shelters and other rescues to route cats to proper vet care and eventual homes, and we take in stray cats who need help getting off the street. We also support TNR for feral cats, and assist cat and dog owners to get their own pets fixed and vaccinated at a low cost.
