Foster Kittens

Hello, Zuko here! Anyway, what I wanted to tell you is that I’ve changed, and I’m good now, and well I think I should join your group!

Zuko is the nicest little fire lord you’ll ever meet, but that wasn’t always the case! When he first came to us he was filled with anger and rage in his quest to capture the avatar, and also from being afraid of humans. But over time he learned to trust others and became the man he was always meant to be. Flameo, hotman!

For reals though, when we first brought Zuko home he was terrified of everything and would hiss and spit and swat at us. He. Was. Angry. But over time and with a lot of forced snuggles and purritos, Zuko really turned around and has turned into the best little boy ever. He would do best in a home with no small children and a relatively peaceful environment. He loves snuggles and loves playing with his toys, and he is totally used to our cats and dogs. He may be shy at first and need some time to adjust to his new home, but he will love you forever!!

To learn more about Zuko, please contact his foster mom, Stephanie, at stephanie.elise.h@gmail.com.

Puri is a 3 month old charm school graduate well on her way to becoming a happy housecat. Although she was initially nervous in her new home, Puri had a breakthrough of purring during cuddle time in the first week. Since then, she has earned her name from her tendency to immediately purr upon being picked up, pet, or sometimes even just approached. A keen hunter, Puri excels at stalking and pouncing on everything from springy toys to small bugs. She once jumped and caught a fly out of midair! Puri’s other talents include finding the softest pillow in the house to lie on, and coming up with the most stretched out, luxurious sleeping poses. She is a curious girl gaining confidence every day and is determined to explore every inch of the house. Puri will be a very loving companion to her new family. She is best friends with her foster sister Kira and would love to be adopted with her.

Sandra Dee is a one year old little lady who came to the shelter as a stray with her kittens. She was so shy we initially thought she was feral but it didn’t take long for her to blossom into a perfect, sweet, playful kitty. She is still learning how to be a house cat as she never had a home so she will need someone with experience with cats to help her come out of her shell. But beside being a little shy her personality is so extremely gentle, she loves to be pet and she loves all her toys and treats. She has a funny personality, sometimes you wonder where she is and she is sleeping in a confined space but as soon as she sees you she will chirp to be pet. She is good with other cats, she has never even hissed at the resident cats. She is so sweet she would do well with respectful kids as well. She is easy to pick up, trim nails, do most anything…literally a perfect kitty!

If you are interested in adopting beautiful, sweet Sandra Dee please email Irina@thevbas.org.

I got my name because I am little. I love to be loved and will purr for you whenever you pet me. When it’s nap time I love to have my human to cuddle with. I have an older kitty that I play with now. Do you have a kitty for me to play with? Sometimes I chase a ball and I have some stuffed toys to play with too. I am OK with dogs. The two I am with now are very, very big and sometimes when they bark or take off running for no apparent reason, they scare me and I run and hide or sometimes I practice the drop and freeze method. Both work pretty good. My foster Mom tells me that I am soft and light as a cloud so she loves to pet me. My fur is all black, but I do have random white hairs all over my body.

To learn more about me, please contact me foster mom at thefunnyfarm@sbcglobal.net.

Damien is a big goofball who loves couch time and food. He’s adventurous but not very good at landing his jumps yet, he needs to work on his balancing skills! He’s very friendly and weaves between my feet while I cook. He’s not very chatty but loves to put a paw on you during snuggle time. He loves playtime and is an adventurous cat. He loves my older cat, he runs up and curls into her side whenever he can. Damien is playful but pretty laid back, he’s always down to curl into your side and watch a movie, especially if you have a good blanket! Damien would do well in a home by himself or with other cats.

To learn more about Damien, please contact his foster mom, Megan, at mmcholla@asu.edu.

A little bit of sassy and a whole lot of sweet – that’s Minnie.  But that isn’t the way it always was.  Minnie was a homeless waif having to fend for herself in a world that was scary for her with no one to trust.  The Burbank Animal Shelter took her in so she could be in a safe place and not have to worry about where her next meal was coming from.  But she was still scared.  She hadn’t learned to trust people and would lash out when people approached her.  If anyone was lucky enough to pet her she wouldn’t look at them and would be very tense.  Usually she tried to find the best hiding place in her roaming room so no one would see her.  Then Minnie got a break and went to a foster home.  “What is this place?” she was probably asking herself.  That’s when the transformation began.  After a few days of hiding she slowly started coming out of her shell.  After a couple weeks, her foster mom was holding her and Minnie allowed it even though she was still tense.  Suddenly she must have realized that all was okay and she relaxed in human arms.  Minnie, about 2 years old, is now an amazing little girl.  She loves being picked up and petted as attested to by her purring and kisses.  She lets the other cats know she gets the first hugs from foster mom.  She will play with her toys with foster mom or without her.  She just likes having fun.  Now Minnie’s biggest concern in life is which magnet to snatch off the refrigerator and where to hide it.

To meet Minnie, please contact her foster mom, Linda, at lindasarc@yahoo.com.

Cass has the biggest “heart eyes” for you! He loves staring at you while you work and his big eyes are hard to resist. He’s a shy boy who plays hard to get but definitely wants to be your friend! He sneaks in for snuggles while you’re sleeping. His favorite spot is behind the legs. He will ALWAYS let you know when it’s dinner time, he gets really chatty and follows you everywhere. When he isn’t playing with string toys, he loves finding comfy spots to nap in. I’ve recently found him in my laundry basket and fabric bin. He can be a bit scared when it comes to fast movements, and he also prefers to initiate play times – he wants affection on his own terms! It will take him a bit to get comfortable but then he will be your best friend. Once he’s in your arms he purrs nonstop! Since Cassian is easily startled, he would prefer a home without dogs.

Kira is a 4 month old charm school graduate training to become a great house cat. She started off very untrusting of humans but has been coming around a little at a time and revealing her inner sweetness. Kira will do just about anything for a meal or a tasty treat. She sometimes gets nervous when being picked up, but quickly settles into petting and cuddling, and the purring engine goes into full gear before you know it. Kira enjoys watching television with plenty of nature shots, or even better, with other cats. She is very playful and active but ultimately nothing makes her happier than chowing down on a tasty meal and filling her cute little belly — have a treat on hand and you’ll soon be friends! Kira is very close and affectionate with her foster sister, Puri, and they would love to be adopted together.
