Himalayan kittens & cats in Tampa, Florida

Available only for foster-to-adopt. Meet beautiful and funny Joan Rivers! Joan was born on 4.23.24 and rescued from euthanasia as she was brought to the county shelter too small to be able to stay there overnight on her own and required rescue help in order to not be put down at only 3 weeks old. She has long hair, where it is longest on her undersides and looks like she is wearing pantaloons. She is sweet and loving and wants to sleep in bed with her person but with her current foster there are too many cats for her to contend with so she is often too scared to enjoy sleeping in bed but sleeps nearby. She currently only uses puppy pads instead of the litter box. We are hoping that this is because of the stress from the other cats and how they resource guard the many litter boxes and we hope that once she is an only cat she will be able to use the litter box. This is why she is up for foster-to-adopt only as it would just be a trial and if it does not work out and the new foster doesn't want to continue with the puppy pads then we will gladly take her back. We just want what is best for her either way and being in a home without other cats hopefully will allow her to relax and not be scared to use the box. She is located in St. Pete and we would love for the perfect person with love and patience in their heart to meet her and give her a chance at having her own loving home. Please submit an adoption contract at cjpaws.org/adopt so we can set you up with an appointment to meet her! You can also follow us on facebook and ask questions via messenger.

PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hello… I’m Elton 👑🐾 I’m a 4-year-old Persian gentleman with refined tastes and a soft, sensitive heart. I may be a little shy and nervous at first, but underneath this luxurious coat is a very sweet, kind soul who just wants to feel safe and cherished. I operate on my own terms — as any proper Persian should. I’m not really interested in learning commands (I prefer to supervise rather than perform), but I *am* perfectly house trained and respectful in the home. I enjoy playing with my toys and, more than anything, I like having my person nearby. You don’t always have to be petting me — I just like your presence. Being close makes me feel secure. I would do best in a calm, small household — one or two people who can truly dote on me and give me the attentive care I deserve. I’m a bit high maintenance (have you seen this coat?), so I need someone committed to my grooming and overall care. If there are too many other high-maintenance pets in the home, I might feel overwhelmed. I do well with older cats and would be happy with a mellow feline companion. Because I’m sensitive and shy, I’d prefer older children (10+) who understand gentle handling and quiet spaces. My ideal home includes: 🐱 Possibly a calm cat sibling 👩‍❤️‍👨 A small, devoted household (1–3 people) 💛 Older, respectful kids (10+) ✨ Someone ready to spoil me a little If you’re looking for a gentle, independent but loving companion who will quietly keep you company and add a touch of elegance to your home — I’m your Elton. All I need is patience, devotion, and a cozy spot near you. Adoption FEE: $300 which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines.
