Maine Coon kittens & cats in Port Hueneme, California

Misty came to our home from having spent only 3 hours in the shelter. She was roughly 2 &amp is a maine coon mix. I kept her separated from the dogs for a week - but we quickly found out she is the alfa (female) and is not afraid of dogs! (she was turned in for not doing well in a home with children & I have not seen her fond of other cats) - but she LOVED my big male dog - and only tolerated Raven (the small female dog). We lost Copper a few weeks ago to diabetes & since then Misty & Raven have been having "alfa female" issues. her nature is not overly affectionate & does not like to be brushed or held - but she loves to sleep next to people at night or snuggle close by on the sofa. She likes her ears scratched - but will let you know when it's enough. She insists on going outside into the back yard - but always stays in the fenced area & is afraid to venture out too far. She has chased other neighbor cats off of her turf.

Rescued from the rock formation at Lake Balboa with her two siblings and mom.  The rescue was featured in FixNation's Newsletter.  Her sisters, Rocksey and Pebbles have already been adopted, but Miss Slate is a little more shy.  She hads bonded with another cat at the adoption center, Eggplant and they would need to be adopted together..   Come and meet her at our cage-free adoption center in Westlake Village.  April 27, 2024, 10:03 pm

Meet Snickers, a beautiful, long-haired Tortoiseshell, Maine Coon-mix with a sweet, gentle, playful demeanor. This little cutie is part of a group of kittens we rescued from a backyard colony in Arleta, CA. There were two litters who were being raised along with several generations... some handled and socialized more than others. She's still on the shyer side - when approached by strangers, but warms up once she knows and trusts you. I'm confident she'll blossom in a loving, home environment. She's smart, inquisitive, litterbox trained and enjoys being held in your arms or lap. You'll find her complete rescue journey chronicled on our Facebook page: "Save the Leadwell Kitties" in Photo Album #30 (lots of adorable video footage there, too)! Snicker's adoption will include her: * Spay surgery, * De-worming, * FVRCP vaccinations, * Rabies vaccination (if old enough), * Combo-test (for FIV/FeLV = negative), * Flea and mite treatment (with Revolution), * and Micro chipping! ~ $150. adoption fee, adoption contract and home check apply / $250 for a pair ~ * Please only contact us if you'll be making this little girl a permanent member of your household and will be keeping her safe indoors. ** We do not adopt out kittens or cats where they will be the only pet at home. Kittens rely on each other for emotional support and continued social and behavioral development. For example: another kitten or cat will teach them when they're playing too rough or biting too hard. Plus, cats and kittens get very lonely when you're not at home! Having a playmate will keep them happier, healthier and out of trouble. **We offer a discount when adopting a pair! *** You can also find all our adoptables on our Facebook page: "Save The Leadwell Kitties" (including their rescue story, photos and video updates). Interested in becoming a much-needed foster? Please send us a message with your best contact info, the type of home environment you can provide and, most-importantly, the City in which you live. Thanks!
