Calico kittens & cats in Fernandina Beach, Florida

Esther is a good cat. She is sweet and cuddly and weird. She's about 4.5 years old. We adopted her from the local pet shop a couple years ago.Since then, my mother passed and I inherited a second cat. The cats do not get along at all, and someone has to go for in order for them to be happy.We have an automatic feeder for her that you are welcome to have. You can have her automatic litter box too. She is currently 13 pounds.She eats a mixture of Hill's Science Diet "perfect weight" dry food and Science Diet wet food.She is currently indoor-outdoor and knows how to use the doggy door. She is litter box trained. I think she'd be happy with any living situation, inside or a mix.Esther gets along great with dogs and is not fearful at all. She likes strangers and is social. She will sit on your lap for movies and likes head scratches, but is not a fan of her tummy being touched. She is very food motivated. I will miss her. Thank you for giving her a good home!

Meet Punk! ❤️ Punk is a beautiful 7-year-old girl who has been part of our family since she was just a kitten. She is a shy, sensitive cat who takes time to feel comfortable with people, but she forms a special bond with someone she trusts. She has always been especially attached to our son. About 4½ years ago, we introduced another cat into our household, and Punk began having issues with urinating outside her litter box. Despite trying numerous solutions, veterinary visits, and eventually removing the other cat from our home, the behavior has continued. We believe Punk would do best in a quiet, patient, adult household with no other pets, where she can feel safe and secure. She needs someone who understands that she may take time to adjust and who is willing to work with her on her litter box challenges. This has been an incredibly difficult decision because Punk has been part of our family for seven years. We truly want to find her a peaceful, loving home where she can receive t

1st met her years ago. Petted her while leaving for work. She tried to get in my car. She was pregnant at the same time as my favorite cat's mom; whom she often attacked, defending territory. Later, she also attempted to kill the rival kitten, my Cotton; and was banished to other caregivers. She has since realized her errors and even appears apologetic. Yet, she moves in slow motion when near Cotton; who often asserts her dominance.

Hunter Bunn & TJ – Calico Queen & Curious Tortie 🐾🧡🖤 Hunter Bunn and TJ (short for Tortie Jr.) are a bonded pair of 5-month-old girls looking for a patient, loving home together. Hunter Bunn, our beautiful calico, is a (very) funny girl with a big personality just waiting to fully shine again. She loves playing with other kitties and is usually one of the first to jump into the action. She’s bold, expressive, and clearly believes life should be lived enthusiastically. Since moving indoors, she’s still adjusting, but once she feels completely safe and settled, we expect her playful, fun-loving spirit to take center stage. TJ (Tortie Jr.) is exactly what her name suggests — a gorgeous little tortoiseshell with that classic tortie intensity and curiosity. Any time something new appeared — a crate, a cat bed, a cat house — TJ was the first to inspect it. New object? She’s on it. She’s naturally brave and inquisitive about her environment. With people, though, she’s more timid and unsure. She’s slowly learning that humans can be kind and predictable, and she’ll need a patient home willing to let her build trust at her own pace. Together, they balance each other beautifully — Hunter bringing the spark and humor, TJ bringing thoughtful curiosity and quiet bravery. They are: ✔️ Spayed ✔️ Combo test negative ✔️ Up to date on vaccines They’re not feral — just young kittens who haven’t had consistent, positive human attention yet. With time, patience, and love, they will continue to blossom into wonderful companions. And now for the plot twist… We’re actually a dog rescue. When subfreezing temperatures hit in late January, we were focused on getting dogs out of the cold — including a very pregnant mama and a stray who needed urgent help. At the same time, we learned about a group of seven kittens facing the same freezing weather. When babies need help, you don’t stop to check species — you just step in. Before coming indoors, Hunter Bunn truly earned her name. Every few days she would proudly present her rescuer with a “gift” — a bug, a squirrel tail (🥹), or some treasure she had conquered the day before. TJ, meanwhile, was always the first to investigate anything new that showed up at the colony. So yes — the dog rescue has cats. And these two undercover agents are ready for a forever mission of their own. 🐱💕

Laverne – Sweet, Playful, and Ready for Love 🐾💛 Laverne is a 6-month-old kitten with a gentle heart and a growing love for human attention. She’s come a long way, and it shows in the sweetest ways — like how she leans right into pets and happily soaks up affection once she knows she’s safe. She has a soft, easygoing nature, but don’t let that fool you — Laverne also has a playful side! She loves to chase her toys, pounce, and show off her kitten energy, especially when she’s feeling comfortable. It’s the perfect mix: cuddly companion and playful entertainer. Since moving indoors, Laverne has adjusted beautifully. She may be a little shy when meeting new people at first, but it doesn’t take long for her to warm up. With a little patience and a calm environment, she quickly shows her affectionate, trusting personality. She is:
 ✔️ Spayed
 ✔️ Combo test negative
 ✔️ Up to date on vaccines She’s not feral — just a young kitten who needed a chance to learn that people can be kind. Now that she knows, she’s ready to share that love with a forever family. And now for the plot twist… We’re actually a dog rescue. When subfreezing temperatures hit, we were focused on saving dogs — including a very pregnant mama and a stray in urgent need. At the same time, we learned about a group of seven kittens facing that same brutal cold. And when babies need help, you don’t stop to check species — you just act. So yes — the dog rescue has cats. And Laverne might just be one of our sweetest undercover missions yet. 🐱✨

Grandpa: Wise. Mysterious. Surprisingly sneaky. Grandpa came from a hoarding situation, so he’s taking life at her own pace. She’s not rushing to cuddle or sit in your lap—he prefers to observe, judge silently, and decide exactly when she’s feeling generous with attention.Patience, calm vibes, and maybe a treat bribe are key. Snuggles? Not on today’s schedule. Opinions? Strong and unapologetic. Humor? Dry, clever, and perfectly timed.If you’re looking for a cat who’s part enigmatic sage, part tiny comedian, and fully in charge of her own timetable, Grandpa is your slow-to-warm, subtly hilarious companion. Bonus points if you enjoy being secretly observed while he plots his next move.

Meet Clarice, a beautiful 2-year-old girl who is proof that sometimes the sweetest friendships just need a little time to bloom. After spending part of her life as a stray, Clarice has spent the past year learning that people can actually be pretty wonderful—and she has made some incredible progress!Clarice may need a few days to warm up, but once she decides you`re okay, you`ve got a friend for life. During her time in foster, she spent the first few days hiding, then slowly began venturing out to observe her family. Before long, she became friendly, comfortable, and absolutely adored her people. Her foster family said it best: “Give her a couple of days to warm up and she`ll love you forever! She`s awesome!”Now, about that whole “lap cat” thing… Clarice has some thoughts. She isn`t quite ready to fully commit to the lap cat lifestyle, but she will happily sit beside you and may even place a paw on your lap as if to say, “I love you, but let`s not get carried away.” She`s a girl who enjoys affection on her own terms—and honestly, we respect the confidence.Clarice is great with kids, people, storms, and household noises once she`s had a chance to settle in. She LOVES her scratching posts and will happily show off her scratching skills. She would do well as the queen of her castle or potentially with one respectful feline companion.Clarice is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines. All she needs now is someone patient enough to give her a little time, a cozy place to call home, and plenty of scratching posts.If you`re looking for a sweet, slightly sassy girl who may not greet you at the door but will quietly work her way into your heart, come meet Clarice. Give her a little time, and she just might decide you`re her person.
