Calico kittens & cats in Vista, California

* 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 13 weeks 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. . August 25, 2026, 11:05 am

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.  August 25, 2026, 11:05 am

Picked Misha up from a shelter 6 years ago when she was approximately 6 months old. She has a very cute and unique face and has always been very calm. She is very playful when she wants to be. Although she is very timid to outsiders, she has never hissed at a person and warms to them very quickly. I would prefer her new home be one that is calm and allows her time to get comfortable.

This beautiful, playful girl likes to take her time getting to know new people. But once you've earned her trust, you've gained a loyal companion who will curl up beside you on the couch, snuggle with you in bed, and happily follow you from room to room. The love she gives is genuine, and it's absolutely worth the wait. Kiki has a funny, quirky personality that will make you laugh every day. She loves chasing laser pointers, springs, catnip toys, and wand toys with kitten-like enthusiasm. When playtime is over, you'll usually find her perched on her cat tree watching birds and insects—or relaxing in one of her favorite places... the bathroom sink! (Yes, really!) She also has one adorable little quirk: Kiki has a soft spot for men and often forms an instant connection with them. No one knows why, but it's part of her unique charm. Kiki would thrive in a calm, quiet home where she can feel safe and loved. She'd be happiest as your one-and-only pet, though she may do well with a young, playful kitten after slow introductions. Because she's a bit shy, an adult-only home would likely be her perfect match. Kiki is currently living with a foster family who knows just how wonderful she is. They're waiting for the right person to discover what they already know—that beneath her shy exterior is an incredibly sweet, affectionate cat just waiting to give her heart to someone special. Could that someone be you?

Maybe she's been waiting for you. 🐾

River, along with 29 other cats and kittens, were rescued from a property in Riverside by one of our volunteers. River can be shy but with time and patience she could be your best friend. River loves other kitties and is very playful.

She will need a little extra love and patience to settle in, but she's smart, curious, and adjusts quickly to new surroundings and people. Juniper is very affectionate and enjoys being near her human friends for pets and comfort, to boop noses, and for lots of kisses. Primary Color: Brown Tabby Age: 0yrs 5mths 0wks
