Foster Kittens

One morning last week, I awoke with a startle to what I thought was the sound of thunder! Only to find clear skies and Jackson splayed out on my chest with his squishy tummy on display for all the other kittens to see. The chubby ball of orange fluff was blissfully unaware his almost “violent” purring not only woke up his foster mom but the rest of his litter mates. I couldn’t even bring myself to be mad… have you SEEN his beauty shots? Those big baby blues get Jackson a.k.a Orange out of all sorts of trouble. His affectionate personality and endless supply of kisses doesn’t hurt either.

Jackson is more than ready to find his FURever home with his sister Calli (A088180). Please contact his foster mama Sarah-Kelly, to learn more about the bonded pair schruppsarahkelly@gmail.com.

Hello, my name is Kiki and I am a beautiful orange tabby gal looking for my forever home. I am very playful, love my special toy mouse and love jumping and trying to catch anything that dangles! (Even a leg or two!) I am a real purr machine, as soon as you touch or pick me up I start that machine going. I love to cuddle and I am the queen of naps! I can fall asleep anywhere, under the table, in the doorway, in the middle of the room, so you have to keep an eye out for me! Please contact my foster Mom, Beverly, and come and meet me. You won’t be sorry! 213-700-0353 or spingola@pacbell.net

Wow! I got your attention because you are reading this! Thank you for your interest. 😊

My name is Sterling. I was brought to the shelter on August 7^th by a nice person who found me near the Pickwick Gardens in Burbank. I was about 4 months old then and as you can imagine, I was pretty scared. My foster mom tells me I’m a super sweet kitty that absolutely loves pets, scratches on the head and belly rubs. If you do this, I will demonstrate to you how well I can purr. I also long to be loved since I was alone for so long. When you talk adoringly to me, my little heart melts and my eyes close a bit. I do pretty well entertaining myself with toys I bat around on the floor or flicking them in the air. I also just love playing with my foster mom’s many cats. One of them is a buddy of mine and I know he likes me too. My foster mom tells me she loves listening to us chirp while playing together. I am still pretty skittish around most humans but am making lots of progress with my foster mom. She tells me I would do well in a quiet home with another cat. I might even do well with dogs! If my human is patient and can take some time to love me, I’ll return the love and be your best little pal.

To learn more about me, please contact my foster mom, Carla, at 818-216-5477.

Molly came to the shelter with her siblings in June. She was a little hissy and afraid of people but got to go to several foster homes to learn the ropes. Molly’s playful personality took a while to come out and she’s finally ready for her next chapter. She would do best in a home with other cats or a friendly dog to play with. Molly also has a very unique tail that is kinked in several places almost like a knot and beautiful white accents to her sleek tuxedo coat. In a new home, it may take her a few days to acclimate but with a few treats and toys she will relax quickly.

If you would like to meet Molly please contact her foster mom Kristen: kklegseth@gmail.com.

Would you wait three weeks for the love of your life? That’s all it would take for Abby to figure out that you’re her best friend in the world.

Abby came to the shelter back in March with her sister Sweetums. Sweetums was pregnant and went into kitten foster while Abby was very reactive to people and went to socialization foster. When Abby had opened up and come out of her shell, she went back to the shelter to be adopted but all the sounds and smells overwhelmed her and she had to go back to foster. She’s now thriving in a hectic home with many other cats, kittens, dogs, turtles, snakes, fish, and people–including her sister!

Abby loves to be pet. If any part of your body gets near her she will rub against you like there is no tomorrow. You might get stuck petting Abby forever as she’s more likely to let you know she’s upset that you stopped petting her than anything else. She also loves to sit beside her people and lean against them, though she’s not a full-fledged lap cat just yet. She truly loves being around people, even though she’s so shy at first.

Abby gets along well with both dogs and cats, provided that they don’t chase her around. In her current foster home, she’s more likely to sit with the lazy dog than she is to stay near the high-energy cat who keeps chasing her to play!

Abby’s special circumstances mean that she will be a little bit… shall we say… upset for the first two or three weeks in her new home. She’s still desperate to be pet in new situations, but she’s also unsure of her surroundings and prefers to be pet with a towel-covered stick. Once she realizes the same people and animals will regularly be around (and won’t eat her), she’ll all of a sudden decide to explore her new home and your lap! What’s two or three weeks of shyness when you’ll have such a great cat for the rest of her life?

If you’re interested in a very sweet cat, or maybe two very sweet cats, Abby is currently being fostered with her sister Sweetums. They were apart for so long that they’re no longer bonded, but they do get along well together! If you’d like to meet sweet Abby or her conversational sister Sweetums, email their foster mom Dana at burbank.monster.kitties@gmail.com and she’ll help find a time that works for everyone.

Mango is a playful, fun-loving kitten! When it comes to toys and running around, those are his favorite things! As for humans though, he’s a little bit more shy. Mango needs someone with a little patience and who’s willing to work with him just a tiny bit more before he can trust you! He absolutely loves other cats and needs to go to a home with another cat or adopted with his sister Plum!

To learn more about Mango, please contact his foster daddy, Taylor, at tatorzimmerman@gmail.com.

Hi! My name is Star and I’m a little bit shy at first but don’t let that fool you. I’m a rambunctious Chatty boy who loves to play! And don’t even think about being late for a meal or you’ll never hear the end of it. My favorite things are eating, playing with toys on strings, taking naps on fluffy beds in the sun, and chatting to you about my day. Because I’m a little bit shy, I need to go to a family that has owned at least one cat before. Also, I need to go to a home that has another playful cat to help me feel safe and and run around with all day. I may be a little hissy at first but I will warm up to any kitty in a few days.

I would love to meet you so please contact my foster mom, Caroline, at 858-663-9385 or come to the shelter on Saturday morning. I’ll be here waiting and playing. Meow!

COMING SOON!

Jonas was deservedly named after the fiercely loyal and almost dog-like kitten from Shirley Jackson’s novel “We Have Always Lived In The Castle.” If he’s not sitting in your lap purring up a storm, then he’s following you around with his favorite toy in his mouth or sleeping in the bed waiting for you to cuddle with him. Jonas even runs to the door when you come home, wakes you up with kisses, wags his tail, and responds to you calling his name. Jonas has been living with multiple dogs as well as cats. He is ready to find his FURever home!

Please contact his foster mama Sarah-Kelly, to learn more about him at schruppsarahkelly@gmail.com.

Skye is a beautiful teenager looking for her forever home. She was terrified at the shelter but her real personality blossomed quickly in her foster home. Skye is affectionate, playful, and talkative (especially when she’s hungry). She also does well with other cats and a mellow dog in the household. Sky is really the whole package!

If you would like to meet this sweet girl please contact her foster mom Kristen: kklegseth@gmail.com

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Calli! Desperately trying to grab your attention even if it means scaling the dresser, desk, and anything else the average human would believe is too tall for an itty bitty kitty to climb. If THAT doesn’t catch your eye then meowing always does the trick. This calico attention hog will steal the limelight and your heart with her unique fur coat, endearing appetite, songbird like chirping, less than graceful antics, and constant cuddly companionship.

Calli is searching for a FURever home with her brother Jackson (A088174). Please contact her foster mama Sarah-Kelly, to learn more about the bonded pair schruppsarahkelly@gmail.com.
