Story
Khloe is a sweet, affectionate mama cat who is just beginning to step out of “mom mode” and into discovering who she is for herself. While her full personality is still unfolding, one thing is already clear: she loves attention. Khloe is constantly seeking pets and will happily rub against people and objects to let you know she wants affection. She enjoys independent play and will chase toys for short bursts. Her favorite toy this week is the springy open tunnel, which she’s been especially curious about. When it’s time to relax, Khloe prefers lounging on the floor rather than curling up in a bed, though she will occasionally perch on the top of the cat tree for brief moments. Khloe is eager to explore her environment but isn’t quite ready to socialize with other cats yet. With time and patience, that may change once she fully transitions out of mom mode.  She thrives on human interaction and may gently nip if someone leaves before she feels she’s had enough attention, will need a patient adopter who understands feline body language. With the right person, Khloe has the potential to become a deeply bonded, loving companion who just wants to be near her people. Given time, consistency, and lots of affection, she’ll continue to blossom.  Prior to adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. This cat is currently in a foster home. To meet the cat, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Story
Meet Daisykins, a playful, intelligent, and quirky kitten with a big personality. She’s an independent girl who enjoys affection on her own terms—when she wants attention, she’ll hop into your lap and keep you company, but she’s also perfectly happy entertaining herself. She especially loves toys she can wrestle, tunnels to run through, and the thrill of batting toys around in the bathtub. Her favorite is a snake-like stuffed toy she can wrestle and kick. Daisykins is incredibly smart—she even learned how to play a toy piano to dispense treats! She’s curious, adventurous, and will follow you from room to room, though she also values her independence. Because she tends to overstimulate and can be rough with her claws, Daisykins needs a patient adopter who understands that she is not a good fit for a home with children. She doesn’t like being picked up or petted for long, and she may scratch if pushed past her comfort zone. With time, consistency, and understanding, she has the potential to settle more as she matures. She’s shy around new people, dogs, and loud noises, so a calm, cat-savvy household would suit her best. She’s open to wearing a harness but needs very quiet environments if she’s to explore safely. Daisykins will thrive with someone patient enough to respect her independence while appreciating her playful energy and intelligence. She’s best for an experienced cat person who doesn’t mind a feisty, spirited companion with lots of love to give—on her own terms. Prior to adoption, all kittens are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. Kittens under 5 months old must be adopted with a buddy or into a house where there's a kitten-friendly pet. This kitten is currently in a foster home. To meet this kitten, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. www.thedancingcat.org/adoptJanuary 11, 2026, 6:53 pm

Bindi is a sweet girl with a beautiful gray marble tabby and white coat. She was rescued with her sisters from under a freeway overpass. Bindi is shy around new people at first, so she would do best with someone who is experienced with cat body language and behavior. Once she's comfortable and settled in she's a real love bug. She likes to play with toys and be pet, but prefers not to be picked up. She is laid back and would do well in a quiet home with no children, and someone who will give her a lot of love. She would also do best as an only cat. Bindi loves the catio her foster mom built! This allows her to enjoy the outdoors safely, while inside a large, enclosed area. s to be pet and play with toys. She's not outgoing with strangers. Once she's comfortable, she's mellow and likes to lay around a lot. She is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, defleaed, and microchipped.
