Story
Munchkin is a young and calm 2 month old kitten who loves to sleep and eat. She was rescued by a cruel stray cat reseller and was locked in a small room with a litter of other kittens waiting to be sold. She needs a little bit of time to get used to new environments, but once she feels comfortable and safe she can be really playful and cuddly, especially with other non aggressive cats. She loves dry cat food and playing with strings. We just want her to be in a safe home where she can play with other cats, get enough attention, but also get the space she needs when she asks for it.

Or, how about these Calicos in cities near Oceanside, California

These Calicos are available for adoption close to Oceanside, California.

Story
* To be considered for a meet/adoption, please read the full biography to see whether they may be a good fit for your home, then submit an online application at www.dpsrescue.org.    Warning: Your House Will Never Be the Same At just 5 months old, the Peninsula Litter has already mastered the art of being kittens. Some kittens spend their days quietly napping in a sunbeam. These are not those kittens. The Peninsula Litter believes every shoelace is a snake that must be defeated. Every cardboard box is a luxury condo. Every paper bag is an amusement park. They can turn a crumpled receipt into a 30-minute sporting event, race through the house at warp speed for absolutely no reason, then collapse in a tiny pile as if they have just completed an Olympic marathon. Five minutes later, they do it all again. If you've ever laughed while a kitten proudly carried a toy twice their size through the house at 2:00 a.m., found yourself applauding an impossible leap from the couch to the cat tree, or wondered why there was suddenly a kitten hanging halfway out of a laundry basket, you already understand the magic of this age. These four siblings—Mateo, Foster, Carlos, and Clara—are exactly what kittens should be: curious, fearless, playful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining. They've been raised in loving foster homes where they've been well socialized from the very beginning. They've been exposed to dogs and other cats and would do wonderfully in a home with respectful children. They're confident little explorers who settle in quickly because people have always been part of their world. Whether you live in a downtown apartment, a cozy condo, or a house with room to roam, these kittens aren't looking for square footage. They're looking for someone who will laugh when they steal a sock, smile when they chase invisible 'monsters' across the living room, and happily make room for a warm little body curled up beside them at the end of the day. Picture coming home from work and being greeted by tiny paws racing to the door. Imagine making your morning coffee while a curious kitten supervises from the nearest chair. Picture movie nights with a purring kitten asleep in your lap, or lazy Sunday mornings when the biggest decision is whether to chase a toy mouse or curl up in a sunny window for a nap. Before long, you'll wonder how your home ever felt complete without them. Because kittens almost always do better with another playful feline companion, we'd especially love to see two of these siblings continue growing up together. Mateo and Foster are the very best of friends. They currently live together, play together, wrestle together, and often end the day curled up side by side. We'd absolutely love to see them continue their adventures in the same home. Carlos and Clara are another wonderful pair we'd love to see adopted together as they live together now. They complement each other beautifully and make a fantastic duo. These pairings are not requirements, and we'll always choose the home that is the best fit for each kitten. However, if we have two equally qualified applicants and one family is interested in adopting one of these pairs together, that family will receive priority. If you're looking for laughter, companionship, endless entertainment, and tiny best friends who will quickly become cherished members of your family, the Peninsula Litter is ready to fill your home with love, purrs, and just the right amount of kitten mischief. We can't wait for you to meet them.They have all been spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350 for the pair or $200 per kitten. . September 16, 2026, 5:34 pm

Story
* To be considered for a meet/adoption, please read the full biography to see whether they may be a good fit for your home, then submit an online application at www.dpsrescue.org.    Meet Lacy, a gorgeous 4 month old calico with a beautiful medium-length coat, a personality as colorful as her fur, and whiskers so GINORMOUS we're pretty sure they have their own zip code. Seriously. The whiskers. You will notice them immediately. They are magnificent. They are dramatic. They are completely fabulous. And somehow, they make an already adorable kitten even more ridiculously cute. But Lacy isn't just a pretty face with spectacular facial hair. She is a sweet, loving, confident and wonderfully friendly little girl who is happy to meet people and ready to get involved in whatever fun is happening around her. She has the confidence of a kitten who already knows she's adorable and sees absolutely no reason to question it. Lacy is playful, curious and full of kitten personality. She is ready to chase toys, investigate absolutely everything, and turn ordinary household objects into highly entertaining kitten adventures. A toy? Fantastic. A box? Obviously a castle. A piece of something that has fallen on the floor? Clearly a treasure that must be investigated immediately. And after all that very important kitten business, Lacy is happy to slow down and enjoy some affection. She is an all-around sweet and loving kitten who wants to be part of her family's life. She also has a special friend named Percy, whom she currently lives with in her foster home. The two are buddies, so if you're looking for a pair, Lacy and Percy could make an absolutely adorable duo. Two kittens means twice the entertainment, twice the zoomies and approximately 47 times the opportunity to discover that you apparently own nothing that isn't a cat toy. Lacy is confident enough to explore the world but sweet enough to want her people, making her a wonderful little companion. She's at that perfect kitten age where she's still tiny and adorable but her personality is already shining through. And yes, we know people are going to see her beautiful calico coat and immediately fall in love. We get it. Calico. Gorgeous. Medium-haired. Adorable. GINORMOUS WHISKERS. It's a lot. But spend a little time with Lacy and you'll discover that the prettiest thing about her isn't her coloring. It's her heart. She's friendly. She's playful. She's affectionate. She's confident. She's sweet. And she has that irresistible little-kitten ability to make you smile just by existing. So go ahead. Admire the calico. Marvel at the whiskers. Watch her play. Listen to her tiny kitten opinions. And then prepare yourself for the inevitable: 'Okay. She's my cat.' Because we're pretty sure that's exactly how this story ends. Lacy is ready to find her forever family. Preferably one with plenty of toys, plenty of love, and a household prepared to appreciate those magnificent whiskers. All kittens have all been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350 for the pair or $200 per kitten.  September 16, 2026, 5:34 pm

Story
* To be considered for a meet/adoption, please read the full biography to see whether they may be a good fit for your home, then submit an online application at www.dpsrescue.org.  Sometimes life changes in ways our pets have no say in. Tom and Miki came to DPS after their owner had to move out of the country and was unable to take them along. They have been together since they were kittens, but they do not have to be adopted together. We are happy to place them separately in the right homes, or they can stay together if someone has room in their heart for two. Tom is a 3 year old Turkish Van mix who is basically a professional people person. He loves his humans and wants to be right where you are, preferably supervising whatever it is you’re doing. Curious, affectionate, and happiest when he’s beside his person, Tom is the kind of cat who wants to be part of the action rather than watching it from across the room. Miki is Tom’s 3-year-old calico sister, and her markings are absolutely one of a kind. The transition to a new home has been harder on her, so she’s taking her time adjusting. She’s been coming around beautifully in her foster home and has discovered that lounging in her cat tree is a pretty good way to spend the day. She is gentle and sweet with her humans and loves playing with toys. Miki also has a little hidden talent: she’s a mouser. Both cats are indoor cats, but when an unexpected mouse made its way into their former home, Miki apparently decided she had been hired for pest control. Problem solved. Tom and Miki would make wonderful companions, together or separately, for the right home. Tom is likely to be your shadow, while Miki may take a little more time to feel completely comfortable—but once she does, you’ll have a sweet, playful girl who knows how to enjoy the good life. Sometimes the hardest part of rescue is helping animals understand that a change in circumstances doesn’t mean they’ve lost their chance at a happy ending. We think Tom and Miki are both ready for theirs. All kittens have all been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350 for the pair or $200 per kitten.  September 16, 2026, 5:34 pm

Story
This is a courtesy listing, not a SPOT Rescue cat. For more information regarding Bogie, contact Erin below.. Sophie is a relatively small Calico girl with short-yet-fluffy soft fur. She's extremely social and outgoing. She loves to jump on your shoulders, climb high on cat trees or bookcases, and be wherever all the people are hanging out. She has the most unique, charming personality out of all the dozen+ cats I've owned. I've even considered making a YouTube channel dedicated to her silliness. She will roll around on her back, meowing and stretching her paws out to entice you to come pet her. She's even rolled right off the edge of furniture doing so - but jumps right back up like nothing happened without a care in the world! She's 7 years old, spayed, healthy, litter box trained, indoor-only, micro-chipped, and comes from a loving home with other cats, a dog, and a young child. I've had her since a little kitten when I adopted her from SPOT rescue. To say it's heartbreaking to have to re-home her would be the biggest understatement of my life! She has so much love to give! Good with kids, dogs, cats. Litter Box trained (comes with robot litterbox and pet water fountain). Microchipped, spayed. I'll get her shots up to date. She's affectionate, communicative, curious, extroverted, goofy, and quirky. Adoption fee is $50.Contact: Erin Kohn at erinkohn@gmail.com

Story
How this pet arrived:Tuba was brought in by a community member on September 5, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Say hello to Tuba! This girl is ready to go and can't wait to be the center of your world. Full of lively energy, she offers nonstop entertainment whether she is leaping after wand toys or perched high on her cat tree keeping watch over her domain. She also appreciates sunny window sills to watch the world go by and observe all the neighborhood action. Confinement is the key to her success, so starting her off in a small room will give her the time and space she needs to acclimate before exploring the rest of the home. With a steady routine and a chance to settle in, she will quickly become a delightful, active companion. Please bring a cat carrier for her big adoption day.
