Story
The cat family was raised in a private homeI’M DAISY THE MOST LOVED KITTEN. Everyone tells me that I am their favorite and so I know that I am cute being black and white with my black mustache that everyone comments on! I like to be the center of attention and I’m a big hit on Zoom calls! People are always asking to adopt just me, but I love my sister Java and want to a home that would love us both! My sister Java lets me be the boss and I like that! But I’m not just a great looking kitten. I just want to love everyone! I’m always the first to run up to people and get my belly rubbed. I like to explore and pretend to hunt my sister and then we play chase. My sister Java is very special to me and I would like us to grow up together! The two of us lay on top of the cat tree and hang over the edge and snooze. If my sister is still sleeping and can’t play then I chase my tail and then I will play with my toys. I am looking for us to be adopted by a person that makes the time to take care of us just right! I’m a very clean kitten and I am fastidious about having a clean box.  If you rub my tummy then I will be your best friend always and I will adore you! For more info, call or text DiAnna at 949-759-3646 or email at DiAnna@animalnetwork.org. This kitty is being cared for by Community Animal Network, a non-profit organization founded by DiAnna Pfaff-Martin in 1996. C.A.N is a veterinary medical rescue that helps local animals find forever homes. The animals are cared for and raised in private homes. The founder of Community Animal Network, DiAnna Pfaff-Martin, is very particular about the quality of raising the kittens with vitamins, proper diet. A board-certified feline specialist provides the animals with their veterinary medical care and Community Animal Network offers veterinary internships to young people as young as 15 that have aspirations of becoming a vet.  Feral kittens are tamed to "pet quality" and rescue cats that are shy are disclosed and termed, "rescue quality" with a lower placement fee. With all adoptions DiAnna Pfaff-Martin gives valuable information about cat care in a "feline pet-parenting consultation" to adopters. The most current information is made available about how to keep your cat healthy, pet foods, litters and how to make your cat more affectionate and her specialty is teaching, “How To Make Cats Happy!” The AVID microchip is implanted in every cat and the chips’ registration fee is included in the adoption and the animals come with a 30 day heath commitment and return policy.

Story
Daisy has a really super personality & She Loves JavaI’M DAISY THE MOST LOVED KITTEN. Everyone tells me that I am their favorite and so I know that I am cute being black and white with my black mustache that everyone comments on! I like to be the center of attention and I’m a big hit on Zoom calls! People are always asking to adopt just me, but I love my sister Java and want to a home that would love us both!

I am looking for us to be adopted by a person that makes the time to take care of us just right! I’m a very clean kitten and I am fastidious about having a clean box.  If you rub my tummy then I will be your best friend always and I will adore you!   And I'M JAVA THE SWEETEST KITTEN. I look like a Bombay breed cat. People say I am a gentle kitten with a mellow attitude and I know that I’m very lady-like. I’m told that I take after my mom with a calm personality. My sibling Daisy (Black & White with a cute mustache) is my best friend and she is really outgoing.  I let Daisy take the lead and she will run up to everyone and I’m always right behind her to say “Hi”, but I like to observe the scene for a moment before stepping in when meeting new people. I am very polite and let my sister Daisy begin eating first but when it comes to play, I am “hunting” my toys and run from one side of the room to the other practicing my “prey skills’ to get them! My favorite thing is to run and slide on the wood floor… “Wheee, What Fun!” When I’m not playing, I’m cuddling with my Mom Bella, or my sister. I like to be held and cuddled.  I’m sure when you meet me that you will agree that my fur is so soft and you will never want to put me down.   Community Animal Network didn’t separate us from our mom like others do. I’ve had a good upbringing and been nurtured and have had a good healthy start with mothers’ milk and my mom was provided with good nutrition when she was pregnant and not found starving like so many other moms.

Story
Bottle Fed and Hand RaisedI am Robin the foster mom of young Bandit. He will probably always look like a kitten because he is petite in size. I named him Bandit because he makes me laugh by stealing my cat's toys and my socks and takes the things to his hiding place under the bed. Bandit just turned a year old, but he is petite in size so he still looks like a kitten and his coloring pattern is known as a "Cow Kittie".  Everyone at my work on zoom loves his markings with his black eyepatch and tail, plus a few black spots here and there.  His fur is so soft – he feels like a bunny.  He grew up with his brother so he had a good upbringing with interactive play, too. He lives with me and my two five-year-old male cats and Bandit is too much "about" play for them, or I would adopt him. He does well with my cats but despite his petite size he thinks he should get all the loving and tries to be the dominant cat.  Bandit was bottle fed and hand-raised which gave him his love to snuggle with humans. He loves to cuddle and snuggle up to your neck. He is a very affectionate cat, but he is shy at first. He can’t refuse petting, toys and wet food, so those are the methods to use when you first meet him and he seems shy. Once he feels comfortable, he will want to play and cuddle every day. He wants to be close so he can be stubborn about rules to not get on the table. He is excellent when it comes to the litter box and not using his claws. He has not scratched one thing in my house, not even the leather furniture. He has no desire to go outside, and he loves the cat grass I grow. Bandit is the perfect cat for someone who wants a small cat that wants to play and cuddle. Does Bandit Seem Like A Good Fit With Your Family? We Want To Get To Know You... PLEASE REPLY WITH THE "BELOW" INFORAMTION WHEN YOU INQUIRE. THE ADOPTION PROCESS: COVID and the Delta variant have changed the way we do things so the interview process starts with you replying about yourself, others in the home or others that visit regularly, current pets and about the ones that you have had in the past and where they are now. Your work schedule, and what lifestyle you plan for your pet; indoor only, indoor but allowed out sometimes, indoor / outdoor. Your answers will give us an idea of your experience and the lifestyle of choice for your new pet. The organization wants to get to know the potential adopter before formalizing an application because it is important to discover if the cat of interest is a good fit for you, your family, lifestyle and with any other pet family members.    August 14, 2023, 12:02 am
