Turkish Van kittens & cats in Gilroy, California

Meet Kyle: a 13-year-old Turkish Van whose heart is as striking as her spots. When Kyle decides you're her person, she's all in - nuzzling into you, curling up in your lap, and coming to find you when she wants cuddles and pets. Thirteen years in, she knows exactly who she is: a sweet, devoted companion with a feisty streak.Kyle is what cat people lovingly call spicy. When she's overstimulated or her space is invaded, she'll say so with a scratch or a nip. She's on Prozac and it's helping a lot - she's noticeably gentler, and the scratching and biting are much less frequent. She needs a patient, cat-savvy person who can read her signals and give her room when she asks for it. In return you get a loyal, affectionate cat who loves deeply on her own terms.Her story is a love story. Kyle was adopted in Atlanta around 2014 by two roommates who fostered her, fell for her one-of-a-kind personality, and made her family. She's been with one of her original adopters ever since, moving from Atlanta to California, San Francisco to San Diego. These days she shares her home with two toddlers, and the noise and chaos of a busy household has become too much for her - she started scratching and biting, sometimes unprovoked, which isn't safe for her or the kids. This is a heartbreaking, loving rehoming, not a bad cat: in a calm environment, her soft side shines.A few important things:- Kyle is FeLV+. It hasn't caused her any medical issues, but she needs to be your only cat, or live only with other FeLV+ cats.- She needs a calm, adult-only home, or one with older children who understand and respect a cat's boundaries. No young children.- She's a senior special-needs girl who deserves a home that treasures her exactly as she is.Kyle is currently living in Palo Alto, CA 94301. If you have a quiet home, a patient heart, and a lap that's going unused, Kyle would love to meet you. Please note: Kyle is a Special Needs cat.Kyle needs a home with no young children.More information & application [ts=1794240038&src=aap]

Tom and Miki came to DPS after their owner had to move out of the country and was unable to take them along. They have been together since they were kittens, but they do not have to be adopted together. We are happy to place them separately in the right homes, or they can stay together if someone has room in their heart for two. Tom is a 3 year old Turkish Van mix who is basically a professional people person. He loves his humans and wants to be right where you are, preferably supervising whatever it is you’re doing. Curious, affectionate, and happiest when he’s beside his person, Tom is the kind of cat who wants to be part of the action rather than watching it from across the room. Miki is Tom’s 3-year-old calico sister, and her markings are absolutely one of a kind. The transition to a new home has been harder on her, so she’s taking her time adjusting. She’s been coming around beautifully in her foster home and has discovered that lounging in her cat tree is a pretty good way to spend the day. She is gentle and sweet with her humans and loves playing with toys. Miki also has a little hidden talent: she’s a mouser. Both cats are indoor cats, but when an unexpected mouse made its way into their former home, Miki apparently decided she had been hired for pest control. Problem solved. Tom and Miki would make wonderful companions, together or separately, for the right home. Tom is likely to be your shadow, while Miki may take a little more time to feel completely comfortable—but once she does, you’ll have a sweet, playful girl who knows how to enjoy the good life. Sometimes the hardest part of rescue is helping animals understand that a change in circumstances doesn’t mean they’ve lost their chance at a happy ending. We think Tom and Miki are both ready for theirs. All kittens have all been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350 for the pair or $200 per kitten.  November 9, 2026, 11:04 am

Some kittens spend their days quietly napping in a sunbeam. These are not those kittens. The Peninsula Litter believes every shoelace is a snake that must be defeated. Every cardboard box is a luxury condo. Every paper bag is an amusement park. They can turn a crumpled receipt into a 30-minute sporting event, race through the house at warp speed for absolutely no reason, then collapse in a tiny pile as if they have just completed an Olympic marathon. Five minutes later, they do it all again. If you've ever laughed while a kitten proudly carried a toy twice their size through the house at 2:00 a.m., found yourself applauding an impossible leap from the couch to the cat tree, or wondered why there was suddenly a kitten hanging halfway out of a laundry basket, you already understand the magic of this age. These four siblings—Mateo, Foster, Carlos, and Clara—are exactly what kittens should be: curious, fearless, playful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining. They've been raised in loving foster homes where they've been well socialized from the very beginning. They've been exposed to dogs and other cats and would do wonderfully in a home with respectful children. They're confident little explorers who settle in quickly because people have always been part of their world. Whether you live in a downtown apartment, a cozy condo, or a house with room to roam, these kittens aren't looking for square footage. They're looking for someone who will laugh when they steal a sock, smile when they chase invisible 'monsters' across the living room, and happily make room for a warm little body curled up beside them at the end of the day. Picture coming home from work and being greeted by tiny paws racing to the door. Imagine making your morning coffee while a curious kitten supervises from the nearest chair. Picture movie nights with a purring kitten asleep in your lap, or lazy Sunday mornings when the biggest decision is whether to chase a toy mouse or curl up in a sunny window for a nap. Before long, you'll wonder how your home ever felt complete without them. Because kittens almost always do better with another playful feline companion, we'd especially love to see two of these siblings continue growing up together. Mateo and Foster are the very best of friends. They currently live together, play together, wrestle together, and often end the day curled up side by side. We'd absolutely love to see them continue their adventures in the same home. Carlos and Clara are another wonderful pair we'd love to see adopted together as they live together now. They complement each other beautifully and make a fantastic duo. These pairings are not requirements, and we'll always choose the home that is the best fit for each kitten. However, if we have two equally qualified applicants and one family is interested in adopting one of these pairs together, that family will receive priority. If you're looking for laughter, companionship, endless entertainment, and tiny best friends who will quickly become cherished members of your family, the Peninsula Litter is ready to fill your home with love, purrs, and just the right amount of kitten mischief. We can't wait for you to meet them.They have all been spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped.

I rescued my cat out of a storm drain in Gilroy, she was very tiny and very hungry. She had all of her first two year shots. She has become an indoor and outdoor cat. Very pleasant, very mild mannered. Sleeps a lot. Loves to chase the birds and does not wander off very far. I need to relocate and cannot take the cat with me. Looking for a new forever home that she could be love and care for.

SUper shy at first but once she warms up a love bug
