Balinese kittens & cats in Novato, California

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Visiting Room:2 Balthazar is a 4-year-old Balinese mix with an elegant bearing and a contemplative nature. This handsome fellow, with his striking blue eyes and colorpoint coat, carries himself with quiet dignity, preferring to observe from the safety of his bed while he decides whether the world outside deserves his participation.   Recent weeks have revealed glimpses of the cat Balthazar could become—he accepts gentle pets with closed eyes and tilted chin, shows surprising enthusiasm for wand toys when the mood strikes, and has developed a particular fondness for treats that momentarily breaks through his reserved exterior. Balthazar needs experienced guardians who understand that wisdom comes slowly; who can provide the calm, predictable environment where an undersocialized cat like him can gradually unfold; and who won't mistake his quietness for disinterest. He would flourish with a feline companion from his former household or a gentle resident cat who can show him that domestic life is worth embracing. If you have the patience to earn the trust of an old soul who's still learning that the world can be kind, Balthazar may one day reveal himself to be the affectionate, playful companion his recent progress suggests is waiting beneath that cautious exterior. Note: This cat is under-socialized and will do best in a calm home with a patient, cat-experienced guardian who can give them the time and space they need to settle in and build trust. A quiet environment is essential, as busy households or homes with young children will feel overwhelming for them. They have lived with other cats before (some of whom are also at OAS) and would thrive being adopted with one of their feline friends or joining a home with a gentle, resident cat.

My client recently went into assisted living and isn’t coming home. He has a 16 years old very loving little sweet girl. I think she’s a ragdoll or BalineseThe family is unable to take care of her and I don’t know what to do. I’m trying my best to rehome her. She’s got a lot of love in her and she’s an indoor outdoor cat. Independent as cats will be I don’t know if she’s good with other cats or dogs, but I’m sure she is because . She just keeps to herself. She likes to cuddle occasionally, but mostly does her own thing. I just feel real bad. I don’t know what to do and I’ve gotta find her at home. If you can contact me I’d appreciate it. Thank you. She is box trained but recently has accidents and hairballs. But I think she is missing her human. I’m hoping someone will share her later years with he. Thank you
