Balinese kittens & cats in San Jose, California

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

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.

Meet Firefly — a bright spark of energy and charm! This confident, playful boy lives up to his name with his lively spirit and curiosity that lights up every room. Firefly loves to play, especially with his favorite ball toys. You’ll often catch him stalking, pouncing, and chasing them around like a tiny panther on a mission. He’s also a big fan of food puzzles, which keep his sharp mind and food motivation happily occupied! Firefly is social and easygoing with people and adapts quickly to new situations. He’s great with both cats and dogs — though he may swat a bit to establish boundaries, he never escalates and can comfortably share space, food, and naps with them. After a day full of fun, Firefly likes to curl up on the bed with his humans or lounge on a cat tree for a cozy snooze. He can be handled when needed, but prefers to make the first move in showing affection. Firefly would thrive in an active home that loves interactive playtime and has other furry friends to keep him company. If you’re looking for a clever, confident, and entertaining companion, Firefly will make every day feel a little more alive.

Jenkins' love language is play… play… and more play! This spirited guy is all about fun, and he’ll chase a wand toy for as long as you’ll let him. Jenkins has energy to burn and thrives with daily playtime. He’s the kind of cat who turns a living room into a playground and makes you laugh while doing it. Outside of his playful streak, Jenkins is an easygoing companion who settles into new spaces quickly. He enjoys being pet and having people nearby, though he’s not overly demanding about attention. While he wasn’t a lap cat in foster care, that could change once he feels fully at home. Jenkins would be a great match for someone who works from home or spends a lot of time around the house and is looking for a playful friend. If you’re ready for a buddy who brings a lot of energy to your life, Jenkins might just be your perfect match.  Prior to adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped.

Shaabo is a beautiful 4-year-old Siamese mix with a gentle and affectionate nature. She loves people and warms up quickly to new friends, even little ones! Shaabo enjoys ear scratches, cozy naps by her favorite humans, and sunny lounging spots where she can soak up the warmth. When she’s feeling playful, she’ll happily chase her feather toys and show off her graceful moves. Shaabo is spayed, vaccinated, and gets along fine with other cats, she may hiss at first but never picks a fight. She hasn’t met dogs yet, but with her easygoing personality, she may adapt well in a calm home. Sweet, sociable, and loving, Shaabo would be a wonderful companion for a family or anyone looking for a loyal feline friend. Shaabo is diabetic, but her diabetes is well controlled with insulin. She receives Lantus (glargine) injections twice a day, and she doesn’t mind them at all, they’re just part of her routine. To support her next chapter, her current caregiver is willing to cover the cost of her medication for the first year for her new family. Shaabo is being cared for by a member of the community.  To arrange to meet this cat or find out more, please fill out our application here: https://www.thedancingcat.org/adopt-courtesy For more information regarding our Courtesy Posts, see www.thedancingcat.org/courtesy-postsNovember 6, 2025, 5:45 pm
