Story
Meet Tolouse! A charming 9-year-old male residing in the tranquil neighborhood of Chino Hills, CA. This striking feline is a delightful blend of Siamese and Himalayan ancestry, boasting a unique mix of characteristics that make him an extraordinary companion! When he's not indulging in his favorite pastime of napping or gazing wistfully at the birds fluttering outside his window, Tolouse can be found energetically chasing after toys or, with equal enthusiasm, embarking on bug-hunting escapades. His playful demeanor is truly infectious, and he takes great pleasure in showcasing his patented "double dangle" with one or both paws, a sight that never fails to elicit smiles from those lucky enough to witness it. True to his Himalayan lineage, Tolouse has a love for seeking out elevated perches, favoring cat trees or other high-up spots where he can observe his surroundings with regal grace. Despite his independent streak, Tolouse is undeniably drawn to the company of his human companions, faithfully trailing them from room to room throughout the day! While Tolouse may initially appear reserved, especially when encountering new feline friends, his timid demeanor quickly gives way to playful antics once he feels comfortable in his surroundings. He has spent his life alongside several other cats and has mastered the art of feline socialization, effortlessly gauging when it's time for spirited play or peaceful coexistence. One of Tolouse's endearing quirks is his fervent pursuit of bugs and his animated "chattering" at the birds outside—a habit that never fails to entertain those around him. However, it's his mesmerizing deep blue eyes that truly capture the hearts of all who meet him, adding an extra layer of enchantment to his already irresistible charm. In terms of health, Tolouse has experienced a minor issue with bladder crystals in the past, typically triggered by stress. However, since transitioning to a specialized urinary diet in 2018, he has experienced no further complications. Regular grooming sessions are a must to keep his majestic fur in pristine condition, although Tolouse is not particularly fond of the process and may voice his displeasure with a hearty growl. For Tolouse, finding the perfect adoptive family is paramount. Patience, care, and affection are key qualities he seeks in his potential forever home, along with a commitment to providing him with the love and attention he deserves. With his playful spirit, affectionate nature, and undeniable charm, Tolouse is sure to bring joy and laughter to any household lucky enough to welcome him into their hearts! To learn more about Tolouse and inquire about adoption, please don't hesitate to email us directly at adopt@joyfulpets.com. We're excited to provide you with further information and help facilitate the journey to welcoming Tolouse into your loving home!

Story
Meet Malina! Affectionately known as Cali, a charming 7 (almost 8) year-old calico feline hailing from Chino, CA. Despite being the runt of her litter, Malina has blossomed into a captivating individual with an outgoing disposition. Initially timid in unfamiliar environments, she quickly warms up to people and thrives on affection, making her an exceptional cuddle companion! She is not one to be bossed around so would not do well with a very alpha-type personality cat or dog but has gotten along with her various feline siblings quite well throughout her life. Malina was born with a minor heart condition, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which has been managed with daily medication—a routine she has acclimatized to effortlessly. Regular visits to her cardiologist ensure her health remains stable, although she thrives best in low-stress environments as she ages. Whether part of a bustling multi-pet household or as the sole feline companion, Malina flourishes when her human is present for playtime and snuggles. Her favorite pastimes include darting after elusive laser beams and basking in the warmth of the sun or any cozy spot she can find! When it comes to interacting with other cats, Malina initially displays timidity but quickly embraces playful camaraderie. Her endearing quirks include a love for lounging on laps and various perches, showcasing her adaptable and relaxed nature. Malina's ideal adoptive family prioritizes her comfort and well-being, providing a tranquil and affectionate atmosphere for her to thrive. While she hasn't had extensive exposure to dogs, she tends to be wary of larger breeds initially but may warm up with patience and gentle introductions. This delightful calico cat is up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed, litter-trained, and microchipped, ready to grace her new home with her unique charm and affectionate presence! Malina desires a stress-free transition, and a nurturing and loving environment in her new forever home. Contact us at adopt@joyfulpets.com for more information about Malina!

Story
Meet Bugsy. This handsome tuxie is a BIG boy! He loves to roll over and beg for belly rubs. He will not let you miss a meal and he is great at catching flies (sky raisins!). Bugsy is bonded to his brother, Ollie. They are thick as thieves and will need to be adopted together. They’ll keep you company while you’re working and your feet warm while you’re sleeping! They’re both big talkers and loooove toys!! Bugsy and Ollie were born on April 29, 2019. Their ideal home is quiet and mellow, and without small children as the noise and activity level makes them a bit nervous. They will of course need a lot of patience as they settle into a new environment; these boys are timid. They will warm up, but it likely won't be immediate. If you are searching for a sweet pair of young boys to hang with on the couch with a pile of blankets and a good movie, then these two may just fit the bill! Interested in adopting?
