Turkish Van kittens & cats in Riverside, California

This sweet girl was in a bad situation, her owners said that she was too hyper for them and they kicked her out of the house. A very kind lady took her in and then got her to us. She is not hyper, she is a super sweet, energetic fun kitten. She loves to play with the other cats. She does like to be pet and enjoys being around us. Understandably she can be shy and isn’t comfortable yet with being picked up. We adore her and are looking for her forever home

OCTOBER 2025 PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BELOW. IT WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. If you still have questions after, we are happy to respond through email. It is a long read and a long adoption process. Please understand we are ensuring that our babies go to great homes and we don't know you personally (yet). Understand that this is an adoption of a beautiful little soul that deserves the absolute best life. The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. So don't let that discourage you from adopting an adult cat! WOLVERINE, his mom X-23 and his sister ELEKTRA were saved in Hemet, California. The wonderful lady that lives in a mobile home saved them from the very cruel neighbors. She fostered them till they were ready for us to take them. Meet WOLVERINE, a sweet and curious Turkish Van mix from Hemet, California, whose stunning yellow eyes and shiny coat will captivate you at first glance. While he may be a bit shy initially, once he builds trust with you, WOLVERINE transforms into an affectionate, cuddly companion who loves nothing more than curling up for a cozy snuggle session. His gentle nature and playful spirit make him an irresistible friend, always eager to explore new things and share love with those he holds dear. WOLVERINE has a particular fondness for wet food and Churu treats, which he eagerly devours, making meal time a delightful experience. His playful side shines through when he’s chasing after toys, leaping with agility, and engaging in his favorite games. He’s also a highly curious and inquisitive kitty, constantly exploring his surroundings and investigating every nook and cranny, making him a little adventurer at heart. One of WOLVERINE’s most special relationships is with his sister, ELEKTRA. The two love each other, spending hours together, playing and cuddling. Their companionship is a heartwarming sight, and they absolutely love being in each other’s company. Whether they’re snuggling up for a nap or embarking on a playful chase. WOLVERINE is looking for a loving family who will appreciate his quiet, thoughtful nature and understand his need for patience while he gets comfortable in a new environment. Once he’s given the time and space to trust, he will reward his family with endless affection, laughter, and curiosity. A home where he can continue his playful would be the perfect place for this sweet, inquisitive boy. Are you ready to share your home with WOLVERINE?

Nesta - EDOB 5/11/2025 female DSH Don't let that grumpy face fool you - Nesta is the cuddliest kitten in her litter! This stunning, petite calico has the softest coat and the most loving personality. She is very playful and energetic, in foster with nice dogs, cats, and gentle kids.

Elaine - EDOB 5/11/2025 female DSH Elaine is a sweet kitty who likes cuddles and attention with a little but of an independent streak. She is very playful and energetic, loves climbing her cat tower, and chasing toys. Elaine is in foster with nice dogs, cats, and gentle kids.

Was rescued from a neglectful owner and is currently being fostered. Upon adoption she will be spayed with up to date medical information. Currently eats bagged and canned food, uses litterbox as well. Name: Pecan Occupation: America’s sweetheart Likes: looking out the window, laying on you (mostly face, neck and chest), being nosy and watching what you are doing, playing peek-a-boo behind door, face rubs, butt pats, talking Dislikes: loud noises (like a dog barking), being alone, belly rubs, not being allowed to lay on you. She’s a very sweet, kind and gentle soul that needs someone present and experienced in her life. She was neglected but now she is used to being loved and embraced and I intend to make sure she will be loved in her next forever home. Will take inquiries, and chat but will not do any rehoming prior to December 31st. Would like to get to know you first and see if you and Pecan would be compatible with one another.
