Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Del Mar, California

*** Kova is in a foster home ***White w/brown tabby spots, long hair, spayed female, born approx. 7/1/22, #18541Cats: nopeDogs: nopeChildren: cat-savvy kids Last year, Kova decided she was tired of being alone and outside. After finding the perfect house in the neighborhood, she stood on the doorstep and belted out her best meows... "mew, mew!" The residence happened to belong to a Rescue House volunteer! A week before Christmas, Kova was thrilled to move in with her new family. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be; one of her adopters had allergies. We welcomed Kova back into our clowder and promised to find her true forever-and-ever home!Kova is the sweetest kitty in town! In fact, she was loafing on our laps since day one. Outgoing with a funny personality, she simply adores people. As you arrive home, you can expect lots of headbutts, leg rubs, and meows. After the welcome party is over, she's off doing her own thing again. A balance of social and independent, she likes hanging out in the same room as you but also enjoys having her own space. When she gently wraps her paws around your leg, it is her way of saying that it's time to play! Her favorite toys are the cat catcher and laser pointer. The queen of hide-n-seek, you've been found when you see her peeking around the corner. After a meal, she usually gets a burst of the zoomies and speeds around the abode like a racecar. Not fearful of strangers, she'll even dash to the door to greet your guests. This fluffy diva prefers to make the initial move. Newcomers who try to pet her when she's not ready will get a warning hiss or swat. Offended, she'll flash a dirty look before sashaying away. The rule is: Kova will "pet" them first by giving a head-nudge and weaving between their feet. Then they have the all-clear to stroke her silky coat. At night, she requests that you keep the bedroom door open so she can roam around. A considerate girl, she promises not to disturb your sleep. Once you wake up, a cheerful Kova will meow her "good mornings" as you both start your fun-filled day together!Kova must be the only kitty in the household. She does not like other felines and would not do well with dogs. Since Kova can get overstimulated with constant petting, older cat-savvy kids who understand her boundaries would be ideal. Are you looking for America's next top kitty? She's easy, breezy, beautiful... Kova girl! What are you waiting for?

*** Rosie is in a foster home. ***Solid black/smoke, long hair, spayed female, born approx. 6/1/12, #18975Cats: good solo, may be okay w/ another Dogs: not a fan Children: older teens+Rosie lost the only home she'd known when her people came down with medical issues and could no longer take care of her. She grew up with her sister who passed in November 2023. With a heavy heart, she bid farewell to her old life and is now looking for her true forever-and ever home! Rose is sweet, calm, and mellow. She loves to be petted and scratched and loves human company. She meows and rubs against your leg for attention, and when she's sitting next to you Rosie will reach out her paw if you forget to keep petting her. Her purring is loud, beautiful, and soothing. She rolls over on her back when she wants a belly rub. She will let her people pick her up briefly and will sit on your lap briefly but more prefers to sit or lie near to or walk around by her human companions. With her long fur, Rosie is very beautiful and will need brushing every day to keep her looking beautiful and her fur unmatted. This is easy to do because she loves sitting next to you and being brushed! (Rosie is currently sporting a lion cut as she came to us very matted.) She will lazily play with wands and jingling toys and an old mouse toy. She uses a slanted scratching box to scratch and stretch. Rosie will hide from strangers but warms up to people with time. She tends to engage with women more than men. Once you gain her trust, she is an ideal kitty for someone who lives alone and would like a loving companion. Rosie did get along great with her sister, but is not sure about other cats. She met a dog in her previous home and expressed her displeasure so we know she would prefer a household without canines. Older teens would probably be okay.Be prepared to be swept off your feet by Rosie's beautiful eyes and stunning long fur! Won't you invite her to join your family for the rest of her golden years?

*** Fuzzball is at the Cat & Craft ***Solid black, long hair, neutered male, born approx. 8/23/22, #18231Cats: gets along but is dominantDogs: unknownChildren: older, cat-savvy kidsLast year, a nice human began feeding a mama cat and her four newborn kittens who showed up in the neighborhood. Sadly, it seemed like the mom and the babes started to disappear one-by-one as time passed by. Worried, the neighbor hoped someone may have trapped the kitties to send to a rescue. Thinking the fluffy family was gone, he suddenly spotted Fuzzball in the yard! Not wanting to take any chances, he scooped up the little guy and called The Rescue House for help. Fuzzball (or "Fuzz" as he is known by those in his inner circle) comes with a HUGE personality! Adorably sassy and very affectionate, he'll keep you entertained with his silly antics. First of all, Fuzzball is a big talker. Thankfully, he is a fantastic listener and loves engaging in conversations. Just call out his name, and he'll respond with a cute "meow!" Usually a cheerful dude, he rarely hisses or shows any aggression. You might hear a tiny grumble when he's grumpy, but that's it. An optimist, Fuzzball likes to focus on the happy stuff like food! Our fellow has some extra chonk and would appreciate assistance in achieving his weight-loss goals. Being very food-motivated, he also asks for your forgiveness in advance for his loud meows when the hanger strikes. Using the puzzle feeder is a fantastic way to engage his mind while he dines. Who doesn't like dinner and a puzzle? Sticking to his diet and saving treats for special tricks will help him along the way. Pets, belly rubs and chin scratches are wonderful, calorie-free ways to reward him. He has the softest coat ever! Feeling ooey-gooey, he'll start kneading biscuits on your legs. While he loves sitting and sleeping by your side, Fuzzball values his space. Not a lap cat per se, he'll rest part of his body on you but not entirely on top of you. And please don't stick your face too close to his. He finds that cringy. A very important matter: Fuzzball has a favorite toy called Mr. Mouse who is his BFF and lifelong companion. One time, Mr. Mouse was lost under a dresser for a month. When the search and rescue team finally found him, Fuzzball was overjoyed! Extremely attached, Fuzzball and his toy, Mr. Mouse are a packaged deal and must stay together. Our friendly panther gets along with other cats and loves kittens. However, he likes to be the king and will likely boss around the timid felines. We don't know how he feels about dogs. He'd probably welcome older, cat-savvy kids.Fuzzball is the silliest goose you'll ever meet! Do you have room in your heart and home for Fuzzball... and his beloved toy, Mr. Mouse?

Pepper is the house greeter and the social butterfly in all situations. She loves any and all adult visitors. We adopted Pepper in May-2014 when she was about a year old and have had her for 10 delightful years. We've always had other cats with Pepper but she has never seemed to get along with the other 11 year old and the two kittens we adopted in 2024. She is good at simply avoiding the other cats however and its so clear she loves her humans. Unfortunately we need to rehome Pepper because she doesn't seem to love having children around and we have another one on the way. Pepper seems ok with our one 18-month old son but seems to get stressed when we have other young humans (ages >5) visit. It's a tough situation to control because she craves the attention of all visitors but is stressed out by young children and so scratches out occasionally if the young children don't leave her alone. It seems a very manageable situation by not having small children. We hope you consider her!

Sage is a gorgeous, fluffy girl that came in with 10 kittens and another mom cat! Though we are not sure which baby belongs to which mom, the entire crew seem to really love each other and assist in the child rearing. Sage is very sweet even though she may seem shy at first. If you sit with her, you'll see she'll quickly melt Into your arms. Now that she is spayed she'll never have to be a single parent of 10 again!May 4, 2024, 10:17 pm

It is with a heavy heart I am rehoming my boy. He is a 12 year old loving senior cat. He is declawed (by previous owner), indoors only, and a mix of blue Russian and long haired ragdoll. He has no health issues and updated on all shots (I can provide records). His favorite thing is to sleep in his towers and get brushed. He loves catnip but only from the dollar tree lol. We are rehoming as he continues to mark furniture, blankets, and dirty laundry. We have taken all measures to help him but it has cost us security deposits and several large items of furniture. We cannot upkeep with his marking anymore. Please comment if you are interested and we can plan a meeting. He’s a snuggly little man and it breaks my heart to write this.
