Story
She can be incredibly affectionate—nuzzling into you, curling up in your lap, and showing her softer side when she feels comfortable. However, Kyle has always had a feisty streak and can scratch or bite when the mood strikes. Two roommates adopted Kyle in Atlanta in ~2014 after fostering her for a period of time and falling in love with her unique personally. Once they moved to California, she's been living with one of her initial adopters and their family since 2015, moving between San Francisco and San Diego. She’s currently living with two toddlers, but the chaos of a busy household has become too overwhelming for her. She has started scratching and biting, even unprovoked, which has created an unsafe situation for both her and the children. Kyle is FeLV+, which means she’ll need to be the only cat in the home unless any resident cats are also FeLV+. Kyle would thrive in a calm, adult-only home or with a family with older children who understand her boundaries. She needs a patient, cat-savvy adopter who will give her the space and understanding she deserves. In the right environment, Kyle will be a loving and loyal companion—on her own terms. She loves coming up and asking for cuddles and pets, but also needs her space when she's feeling feisty. Kyle is FeLV+, but hasn't had any medical issues as a result. She is currently taking Prozac, which has been helping a lot her scratching and biting (she's generally gentler and scratches/bites less frequently). . Kyle is currently living in Palo Alto, CA 94301 Please note: Kyle is a Special Needs cat.Kyle needs a home with no young children.More information & application [ts=1771142429&src=aap]

Story
Khloe is a sweet, affectionate mama cat who is just beginning to step out of “mom mode” and into discovering who she is for herself. While her full personality is still unfolding, one thing is already clear: she loves attention. Khloe is constantly seeking pets and will happily rub against people and objects to let you know she wants affection. She enjoys independent play and will chase toys for short bursts. Her favorite toy this week is the springy open tunnel, which she’s been especially curious about. When it’s time to relax, Khloe prefers lounging on the floor rather than curling up in a bed, though she will occasionally perch on the top of the cat tree for brief moments. Khloe is eager to explore her environment but isn’t quite ready to socialize with other cats yet. With time and patience, that may change once she fully transitions out of mom mode.  She thrives on human interaction and may gently nip if someone leaves before she feels she’s had enough attention, will need a patient adopter who understands feline body language. With the right person, Khloe has the potential to become a deeply bonded, loving companion who just wants to be near her people. Given time, consistency, and lots of affection, she’ll continue to blossom.  Prior to adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. This cat is currently in a foster home. To meet the cat, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. Our adoption application is on our website here:  www.thedancingcat.org/adopt   February 1, 2026, 11:18 pm

Story
Meet Daisykins, a playful, intelligent, and quirky kitten with a big personality. She’s an independent girl who enjoys affection on her own terms—when she wants attention, she’ll hop into your lap and keep you company, but she’s also perfectly happy entertaining herself. She especially loves toys she can wrestle, tunnels to run through, and the thrill of batting toys around in the bathtub. Her favorite is a snake-like stuffed toy she can wrestle and kick. Daisykins is incredibly smart—she even learned how to play a toy piano to dispense treats! She’s curious, adventurous, and will follow you from room to room, though she also values her independence. Because she tends to overstimulate and can be rough with her claws, Daisykins needs a patient adopter who understands that she is not a good fit for a home with children. She doesn’t like being picked up or petted for long, and she may scratch if pushed past her comfort zone. With time, consistency, and understanding, she has the potential to settle more as she matures. She’s shy around new people, dogs, and loud noises, so a calm, cat-savvy household would suit her best. She’s open to wearing a harness but needs very quiet environments if she’s to explore safely. Daisykins will thrive with someone patient enough to respect her independence while appreciating her playful energy and intelligence. She’s best for an experienced cat person who doesn’t mind a feisty, spirited companion with lots of love to give—on her own terms. Prior to adoption, all kittens are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. Kittens under 5 months old must be adopted with a buddy or into a house where there's a kitten-friendly pet. This kitten is currently in a foster home. To meet this kitten, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. www.thedancingcat.org/adoptJanuary 11, 2026, 6:53 pm

Story
Willow may be a bit shy at first, but she warms up for snuggles and pets, especially if you have snacks. Originally found as a feral kitten, she was spayed (hence her cute ear tip) and decided indoor life suited her just fine. Willow gets along well with other cats and dogs, and she’ll come to her new home with up-to-date vaccinations. She’s a gentle, sweet girl looking for a patient adopter to give her a safe and loving forever home. Willow is being cared for by a member of the community.  To arrange to meet this cat or find out more, please fill out our application here: https://www.thedancingcat.org/adopt-courtesy For more information regarding our Courtesy Posts, see www.thedancingcat.org/courtesy-postsSeptember 22, 2025, 1:56 pm
