Hi! My name is Vampira and here is a little more about me:
My Journey: Please don’t be alarmed by my name — I’m very sweet and not spooky at all. I came to Smittens as a community cat from Feral Cat Coalition who was simply too friendly and too small to return to the streets. You may notice I’m petite for my age and will likely stay a tiny gal. This is probably due to some stunted growth from malnutrition as a kitten. But don’t worry — I’m healthy now and I looove food! I used to have a little snort but now that I`ve had a little work done (polyp removed) my snort is gone and I have a lot more energy.
My Social Life Kids ? I adore gentle mini humans — they are truly my biggest fans, and I cuddle them as much as possible. The more attention they give me, the more I give right back. Other cats ? I can get along with other cats, and I’m considered a bit of an emotional support kitty if anyone (human or feline!) needs comfort. Dogs ? I haven’t been around dogs yet, so that’s still unknown.
My Personality Curious, energetic, and affectionate. I love my toys, I love my people, and I am absolutely a people pleaser. I give little Eskimo kisses and thrive on attention. I’m also quite smart — I’m learning commands when treats and cuddles are involved. I understand boundaries and genuinely try to be a good girl. I may be small, but my personality is big.
I Enjoy… Thigh scratches (elite-level favorite!) Eskimo kisses and long nuzzle sessions Treats — I am very food motivated Toys that dangle so I can pounce dramatically Anything that rolls or has wheels (I will chase it until nap time) Treats make training fun, and it makes my fosters very proud when I show off my good manners.
I’m Not a Fan Of… I prefer cuddles on my schedule. I won’t nip, bite, or scratch, but if I start to wiggle, that’s my polite way of saying, “Okay, time to set me down, please.” I like affection — I just like having a little say in it.
What Makes Me Special I sound like a tiny ducky — I chirp and snort in the most adorable way. My little snort is permanent and completely harmless. I give the sweetest Eskimo kisses and will nuzzle you for as long as you’ll let me. And if you need to get going? I’ll simply stare lovingly and adore you again the next time I see you.
My Perfect Home My perfect home is one where I have a human to interact with throughout the day. I thrive on connection, affec

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.
