Calico kittens & cats in Indio, California

Hi, Im Trixie. I was born in a place where little kittens like me dont usually get a fair chance. Dogs often get to us before we can grow up safe and loved. But one day, a kind Good Samaritan found me, scooped me up, and gave me the second chance I never knew Id get. Now Im learning what it feels like to be truly cared for, and Im ready to share all my sweetness, purrs, and cuddles with a forever family of my own.

Hi, Im Rascalette, and Im almost ready to find my forever person.Im a petite polydactyl girl with bright blue eyes and a gentle soul. I was rescued by a kind human named Marisa who feeds and cares for feral colonies in Indio. The moment she saw me, she knew I didnt belong out there. I wasnt feral, just a little lost in the shuffle.Im still learning to trust. I wont come running up to you, at least not yet, but if youre patient and gentle, Ill let you pet me and maybe even hold me. I just need time, calm energy, and someone who understands that Ive been through a lot. If you sit quietly, Ill slowly start to come closer. I promise.Ive been spayed, vaccinated, and Im now in a loving foster home where Im making steady progress every day. Id do best in a quiet home with no small children. Older respectful teens might be okay, but what I really need is someone who will give me space to grow at my own pace.Since busy adoption events would be too much for me, Im hoping for a foster to adopt situation, a home where I can slowly settle in and feel safe. Cats like me often become the most loyal and loving companions once were given a chance.Will you be my safe place?I was rescued by a kind human named Marisa who feeds and cares for feral colonies in Indio.

I am a beautiful kitty saved from a terrible life. My previous owners were extremely abusive and didn't take care of me at all. I was so sick I almost died but thankfully the vet was able to save my life but I do not have my eyes anymore. But that doesn't stop me from living my best life! You could never tell I was abused because I love people and playing and especially the cuddles. I cannot wait to give you all the love and happiness when I join your family!

A calico cat is a domestic cat of any breed with a tri-color coat. The calico cat is most commonly thought of as being 25% to 75% white with large orange and black patches, however, they may have other colors in their patterns. Sometimes a variation occurs with cream and grey patches that is called a muted calico. We did name all the kittens after the new movie Avatar: The Way of Water.

She’s the type of cat who thrives in a quiet, loving environment where she can slowly unfurl her true self. Patience is key with this gentle girl, and once she feels secure, she’ll reward her new pet companion with soft purrs and a loyal presence that can turn any house into a home. While she may start off a little cautious, TUKTIREY enjoys the company of other cats and is more than okay with pets. In fact, she’s at her best when surrounded by feline friends who bring out her playful side. Whether it’s a feather toy or a cozy nap in the sun, TUKTIREY’s gentle playfulness is a joy to behold.

We believe someone dumped her in our area. She found herself to our outdoor colony. We found her in our front lawn, attacked by some kind of animal. We rushed her to the vet. She has a huge scar under her fur. You cant see it at all. Meet VANESSA FISK, a beautiful six-year-old DSH Calico mix from Hemet, California, whose essence is gentle resilience wrapped in a striking coat of white, orange, and black. VANESSA FISK is a large, shy, and timid cat who has faced some challenges in her past, but she’s ready to find a loving and patient family who can help her continue to heal and blossom. VANESSA FISK is an independent soul who finds comfort in the quiet companionship of other cats. Having lived peacefully with fellow felines, she would thrive in a home with another calm and understanding cat to keep her company. Her experiences have made her a bit wary of new environments, so she’ll need a pet parent who can offer her the gentle encouragement she needs to feel safe and secure. While Vanessa hasn’t had much experience with dogs or young children, her timid nature suggests that she would do best in a calm, dog-free home where she can gradually build her confidence at her own pace. A quiet environment with adults or older children who can respect her boundaries would be ideal for this sweet girl. Vanessa’s beautiful calico markings are matched by her soft, soulful eyes that tell the story of a cat who’s ready to embrace the kindness and comfort of a loving home. With time, patience, and plenty of love, Vanessa is sure to show her new fa family just how much affection she has to give. If you’re looking for a gentle companion who will appreciate your care and offer quiet companionship in return, VANESSA FISK could be the perfect addition to your family. Are you ready to give this shy but loving cat the home she needs? VANESSA FISK is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / CALICO MIX. She is about 6 years and 7 months old and is good with cats. She has never been around dogs or young children. We don't think she will do well with dogs. The vet thinks a coyote or loose dog attacked her.

I was found as a lone kitten in a Coachella parking lot. no one knows how I got there or what my kittenhood was like before they found me. because of this I am a bit shy and take a little while to get adjusted to new people and places, but once I do, I will follow you around the house, sleep with you all night and nap with you. I love chin scratches, cuddles, and sun bathing. I am still learning to play but I never bite or scratch. I am a very gentle cat and I don't have a mean bone in my body. I would do best in a calm and patient household. I would be a great companion for a bookworm or someone who enjoys a slow life. I make my foster family laugh everyday with my little quirks. They would say I am a goofy but very sweet girl who deserves a loving fur-ever home.

I'm a natural hunter and love to play! I can jump and run around my play room for hours. I also love to watch cat TV and solve food puzzles. Boxes and tunnels where I can wait to ambush my prey are my favorites. In general, I love to run better than to sit and purr. I don’t like loud sounds and I will hide until it’s quiet. I rarely like to play with other cats and can be a rough player. I can bite a bit and I’ll give you a little funny warning sound. I’m litter box trained and use a scratcher. I love CHEESE and might allow you to pet me for it. I enjoy watching birds and can chirp. I will be happier with a female owner and will prefer to be the only pet.

Meet Bubbles, a charming 4-month-old grey tabby kitten with a heart as sweet as her purrs. With her striking big green eyes and soft, plush fur, she’s the picture of cuteness and curiosity. Bubbles has a playful spirit—her favorite pastime is chasing after her track toy, but she’s also a cuddle enthusiast who loves to curl up in your lap for some quality snuggle time. This little lady isn’t just about playtime, though—her affectionate personality shines through with every purr and nuzzle. Bubbles is also bonded with her best friend, Ollie, an adorable orange tabby kitten who she loves to spend time with. If you’re looking for a pair of kittens who will bring joy, laughter, and endless love to your home, Bubbles and Ollie are the perfect match. Ready to meet this sweet girl and her buddy? They can’t wait to fill your life with happiness!
