Persian kittens & cats in Encinitas, California

Mackey is an old girl (11) but a special one she still likes to play and has spurts of her youthful energy. She is very cautious and but of a scardy cat in new situations and does not trust easily. She will be better one on one as she is older and just needs a calm environment. She will be good with someone who is sensitive and empathetic. She is really sweet and just needs a really good home. This is the hardest thing I have ever done and truly saddened to part with her 💔

*** Franklin is in a foster home. ***Gray/white bicolor, long-medium hair, neutered male, born approx. 6/1/18, #19334Cats: likely fineDogs: likely notChildren: quiet older kids BACKGROUND: Franklin was found in sorry shape, thin and malnourished, struggling to find food in trash bins and just trying to survive. His skin was a mess and his eyes were so sad. He needed time and TLC in foster care to both physically and mentally recover and regroup. Now Franklin enjoys warm places and good company, never skips a meal, and is ready to find a warm loving home!PERSONALITY: Franklin is such a lovely boy, and as his skin improved so did his fluffy fur! He enjoys being gently groomed with a brush and keeping his fur in tip-top shape can be a happy experience for both him and you. Pets around his head and neck area are Franklin’s favorite thing: give him a few scratches under his chin and he’ll melt like butter. He’d prefer if you don’t pick him up much, as he feels uncertain about things when his paws aren’t under his control, but once Franklin gets to know you he is very willing to come to you for attention and bonding time… he cherishes the connection you share and it will become an essential part of his daily life. He is good with new people if they’re not too loud or abrasive; he wants a slow and gentle introduction and an overall quiet home. Given that, this handsome boy shines!COMPATIBILITY: Franklin has largely been in his own space in foster care, but he has shown interest in the other cats he’s seen and seems open to interaction, so we think he could do well living with another mellow cat if given a proper intro. He is not comfortable around dogs, at least large ones. Calm and respectful older children who aren’t too loud or boisterous would be best.Franklin is such a good boy, and he is looking for a quiet and loving home where he can live his days in peace and comfort. Will you make this wonderful kitty’s dream come true?While healthy, Franklin tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). This is a type of virus that typically causes some weakening of a cat’s immune system. It is a cat-only virus and cannot be spread through casual friendly contact between cats. FIV+ cats can and do live quite normal lives in quality, duration, and happiness. A good informative website is FIVCats.com.

*** Tiffany (“Tiffy”) is at The Cat Cafe in downtown San Diego. ***Tiffany #20054: black/orange torbie, long hair, spayed female, born approx. 1/1/24Cats: comfortable, also good soloDogs: likely fineChildren: all agesBACKGROUND: At a homeless encampment under a noisy freeway ramp, a woman had multiple generations of cats that she attempted to care for… they were well-socialized and loved but underfed and lacked the care they needed. When a man was commissioned to bulldoze the area, the encampment was exposed and so were the cats. He reached out for help on their behalf. PERSONALITY: Look at those whiskers! They go on forever! Tiffany (affectionately known as Tiffy) is a big fluffy girl with an expressive tail and a calm easygoing nature that lets her adapt well to new situations. She’ll run to the door to greet you home or curiously welcome visitors. Tiffy is very treat (and meal) motivated and will happily accept what you have to offer. She loves a soft cozy blanket or bed and will relax on there kneading her paws in contentment, especially if she gets to share your bed at night. A cozy lounge spot where she can watch assorted activities is also a hit, though as a young kitty she’s also glad to participate in games and bat toys around.COMPATIBILITY: Tiffy is comfortable with other cats and should be fine with calm dogs and respectful children with a proper introduction.Is there some fabulous floof in your future?
