Turkish Van kittens & cats in Lancaster, California

Belle was found around 2020 as a very scared anxious cat, we took her in and slowly she began to warm up to us with time and patience. From what we could tell she had a little trouble adjusting to a kinder environment, All we ask is that someone with patience and love can show her the same kindness we once did. She is well with others as long as you give her the time to adjust and can be very loving when she is comfortable. With some trust is all she needs to want to stick to you always and be adorably clingy.

Aquario is a delightful 14 1/2 year old White/Black Tabby Turkish Van mix, with a tabby harlequin on top of his white face, a mostly white body with a few black tabby patches, and a raccoon tail. He has beautiful hazel eyes and a pink nose. Aquario is a very calm, ‘Zen' Cat who loves to watch whatever is going on outside through the windows, and lounge in the sunny spots on the floors in the house. A great ‘biscuit maker,’ he also loves to curl up in soft bedding, especially with his humans. Aquario loves running water and drinking from the pet fountain. He’s a food motivated boy and will come running when he hears a can open! Aquario will put his paws on your knees and jump into your lap to snuggle for as long as you will let him. He also has a great time with catnip toys and will curl his paw around them and toss them into the air. Aquario loves people, but will be fine as the only Cat in the home. He will co-exist with other Cats as long as they don't bother him. He will be great company for a family or single person who is looking for a sweet, docile, quiet Cat. His current human cannot keep him due to severe allergies (he has tried everything.) To meet, foster or adopt Aquario, contact us: 818.298.3197 or catconnection@sbcglobal.net Adoptions by appointment only.

Juniper is a beautiful young mama cat who has completed one of the most important jobs there is - raising her babies. She did an amazing job caring for her kittens, and they have all gone on to their happily-ever-after homes. Now it’s Juniper’s turn to find a forever home of her own. Juniper can be shy when meeting new people but once she feels safe, her true personality shines through. She is incredibly sweet, loving, and affectionate, and she genuinely enjoys being petted. When you stop, she’ll softly meow and ask for more - and sometimes she’ll reach out to gently grab your hand when you try to pull it away from petting her because she is not ready for it to end. Juniper would do best in a calm, adult-only home without young children. In the right environment, she blossoms into an affectionate, devoted companion. You’re invited to schedule a meet and greet with Juniper and see if she’s the right kitty companion for you. Please contact the foster at annmariehair@gmail.com

Introducing Suchi, a shy, soft-spoken, kind hearted babycat who was rescued at just 6 months old from a colony in the SFV. She was the least feral of the bunch, showing curiosity, and we were able to rescue her and foster her with gentle love and socialization. Even though she's little shy at first, once she warms up, she’s an absolute playful soul! Her playful side is waiting to shine, and she’s always up for playing with her foster sibling cats. A calm, patient family with a peaceful home environment would be the perfect match for her. Suchi is looking for a family who can offer her the gentle love and companionship she needs to continue growing into the confident, loving cat we know she can be. If you're looking for a sweet and snuggly companion who just needs a little time to adjust and feel at home, Suchi might be the perfect fit for you! To schedule a meet and greet, please submit our quick adoption application found here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/KNC/Cat

Crystal was born on April 1st with 4 other brothers and sisters. She is the most affectionate of all in the litter and gets along with kids and adults.

Callie is a shy but gentle seven year old cat, who is very sweet and wants to be petted once she gets to know you. It’s wise to let her make the first moves as she does not like to be picked up or held until she knows she can trust her person. For awhile she will hide. She has been raised with her littermate, Gracie, who also needs a new home and will have a posting of her own. Callie will be happier in a home that is quiet with an older adult. Her funniest antic is to sit at the back of my recliner when I’m sitting in it and use her tail to get my attention. She likes to sleep in my bed with me but she knows not to disturb me until I’m awake.
