Hi! My name is Gravy and here is a little more about me :
My Journey I was found as a stray alongside my sister (Biscuit). A kind woman made sure we were safe and boarded us with a veterinarian before bringing us to Smittens Rescue, where we’re now getting ready for our next chapter.
My Social Life Other cats: I can do well with other kitty friends after proper, slow introductions. I may start off a little hissy and nervous for a few days, but I just need time to feel secure. Dogs: I haven’t met dogs that I remember. Kids: I haven’t had experience with mini humans yet.
My Personality I’m a gentle soul who is still learning what it means to live closely with humans. In new environments, I can be a bit jumpy with sudden touch, but once I feel safe and confident, I turn into a total purr machine. I’m curious but cautious—still figuring out toys like balls, mice, and strings, and deciding what I like best. I appreciate calm, respectful handling and do best when my boundaries are honored. Give me 2–3 days to decompress in a new space, and you’ll see my sweet side start to shine.
I Enjoy… Chin and cheek scratches (they make me absolutely melt) Churu treats—my current favorite indulgence Exploring high places, cozy nooks, and new corners
I’m Not a Fan Of… I don’t enjoy being held or picked up. If I do need to be moved, gentle and calm handling is best. As I continue to settle in and build trust, this may change with time and patience.
What Makes Me Special When I’m purring, I chirp at the same time—and yes, it’s as cute as it sounds.
My Perfect Home I’d thrive in a calm, patient home with minimal loud noises and humans who understand that sometimes I just want space to explore on my own terms. I would likely do very well

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.
