Hi! My name is Neutron, and here’s a little more about me:
My Journey I started my life as a colony/community cat, which means I grew up relying on my instincts and learning the world on my own terms. Because of that, new environments can feel a bit overwhelming at first — but once I realize I’m safe, I continue to make progress every day. I’m learning that indoor life comes with comfort, kindness, and plenty of good things.
My Social Life Other cats: I may enjoy the company of other friendly cats with slow, thoughtful introductions. Dogs: I haven’t met dogs yet. Calm, respectful pups might be okay once I’ve had time to settle. Kids: I could do well with gentle, cat-savvy humans who understand when to give me space. My social circle, summed up: I’m a sensitive kitty who does best when allowed to move at my own pace. I observe first, then engage once I feel safe and comfortable.
My Personality I’m observant, a bit shy, curious, and cautious in new situations. I may hiss at first — that’s just my way of saying “I’m unsure and need a moment.” Once trust is built, my softer side begins to shine. I’m gaining confidence daily and learning how nice human companionship can be.
I Enjoy… Watching the world with my big, expressive eyes Gentle interaction on my terms Interactive play that helps me build confidence Cozy, quiet spots where I can relax and feel secure
I’m Not a Fan Of… Being rushed or overwhelmed. I do best when my boundaries are respected and when I’m given time to adjust. A calm, predictable environment helps me feel my best.
What Makes Me Special My sleek black coat and big, soulful eyes make me striking — but what really sets me apart is watching my transformation as I learn to trust and blossom in a loving home.
My Perfect Home I’d thrive in a patient, understanding home that appreciates a cat who needs a little time to warm up. With adopters who let me set the pace, I’ll reward that patience with a meaningful bond and quiet, growing affection.

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.
