Story
These approximately 9 week old kittens made their way from Los Angeles to San Diego after being found on the streets with their stray mama! Mom was a feral cat, meaning she did not want human interaction, and was spayed prior to being released back into her environment to ensure she did not have any more kittens. These munchkins have been with a caretaker for several weeks, enjoying indoor life! They are very playful and would benefit from having a kitten friend to keep them busy. They were also raised with young kids and enjoy human company!May 19, 2026, 7:46 pm
