Hi! My name is Panais, and here’s a little more about me:
My Journey I’ve been through quite a journey and am proud to say I’m a FIP survivor. Thanks to treatment, a condition that was once considered untreatable is now part of my past—and I’m happily living my best life. I did experience some neurological effects while I was sick, and while I’ve recovered beautifully, I still have one lingering quirk that makes me uniquely me (more on that below). Through it all, I’ve remained sweet, resilient, and full of love.
My Social Life Other cats: I love other cats and get along with everyone I meet. Dogs: My experience with dogs is unknown, but with gentle introductions, I may be open to learning. Kids: I’d likely do best with older, gentle humans who can understand and accommodate my special needs.
My Personality Affectionate, goofy, gentle, and endlessly sweet. I’m a true cuddle bug with a delightfully silly side. I don’t have a mean bone in my body, and I approach life with cheerful curiosity—even if my thoughts sometimes seem powered more by sparkle than strategy.
I Enjoy… Snuggling (a lot!) and being close to my people Lounging comfortably and soaking up affection Spending time with other cats Mealtime—especially kitten food (I’m very food-motivated!) Bringing smiles with my lovable, dopey charm
I’m Not a Fan Of… Missing out on snacks Diets (though I know I’m working toward a healthier weight!) Being misunderstood—I promise all my quirks are unintentional
What Makes Me Special I’m a survivor with a heart full of love and a wonderfully quirky personality. I’m often described as a “cuddle marshmallow”—soft, squishy, and always ready to snuggle. My gentle nature, goofy charm, and sparkly spirit make me truly unforgettable.
My Perfect Home I’d thrive in a calm, loving home with patient adopters who appreciate a cat with a big heart and a few quirks. I’d love feline companionship and humans who enjoy cuddles, laughter, and lots of together time. A routine and understanding environment will help me shine.
My Special Needs I am a former FIP kitty who has completed treatment and is considered recovered. Due to past neurological involvement, I sometimes don’t realize when I’m having a bowel movement. I use the litter box perfectly for urination, but occasional bowel accidents can happen unintentionally. With understanding, easy-to-clean spaces, and a compassionate

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.
