And I am absolutely CRAZY about cat treats! The moment I know treats are involved, you’ll have my full attention. My previous owner said one of the most wonderful things about me is my gentle temperament. I have never hissed at anyone or shown aggression. Even when something upsets me, I simply run away rather than getting angry or defensive. I am the perfect combination of independent and affectionate. I don’t demand constant attention, but I have my own adorable ways of showing you that I love you. I’m a sweet little companion who will bring warmth, laughter, and lots of love into your home.

HI! My name is Parton and I have mastered the art of making everyone around me smile. I am the perfect combination of mellow sweetheart and playful kitten. One minute, I’m happily chasing a toy, exploring my surroundings, or finding something wonderfully entertaining to investigate. The next, I’m settled beside you, completely content and purring away like a tiny motor. I also happen to be an excellent little shadow. Walk toward the kitchen and you may suddenly notice an orange companion following close behind - just in case food might be involved.

Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from North Tustin

I am currently available for adoption from my foster home. If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an application on our website www.carmaoc.org
Hi! I’m Tucson and I’m the definition of cheerful charm. I’m a mostly white kitten with a small dark patch that adds a dash of character. I’m known for my long, sound naps, yet when I’m awake, life becomes a comedy routine. I’m easily trusting, eager for friendship and happiest when batting at toys on strings. My gentle, good-natured personality makes me approachable and easy to bond with. I offer a sweet mix of amusement and affection, the kind of kitten who makes people smile just by being myself.

Read more about Tucson

Beyond my nap and play routine, I find a way of making myself endearing. I’ll flop onto my side, stretch my tiny legs, and look up with quiet trust. My comical side comes out unexpectedly like when I tumbles mid-pounce or pause mid-groom as though I’ve forgotten what I was doing; yet I’m never frazzled, I just calmly continue as if that was exactly what I meant to do. My welcoming nature makes me the type of kitten that’s just happy just to be here with you. I’m the kind of cat who builds quiet joy into everyday moments. I’m an easy kitty to love.

10. Sedona

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from North Tustin

I am currently available for adoption from my foster home. If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an application on our website www.carmaoc.org
Hi! I’m Sedona and I’m the little thinker of the group, an exceptionally intelligent kitten who seems to be several steps ahead of my brothers. I am observant, curious, and remarkably quick to learn, often being the first to figure out something new. I was the first to master the litter box, the first to discover the cat fountain, and the first to confidently explore new toys and experiences. Give me a new challenge and I’m likely to have it figured out before everyone else has even realized there is something to figure out! I’m also dog-friendly and very easy to handle.

Read more about Sedona

I may not be the kitten who immediately launches myself into your lap demanding attention, but that is not because I’m unfriendly, I am simply more discerning about when and how I give my affection. I am remarkably aware of human intentions and can often tell when someone is trying to pick me up or move me. Catching me can be the challenging part because I know exactly what you are up to! Once I’m in your arms, however, I am incredibly gentle and cooperative. I do not swat, bite, or fight you, and I allow myself to be handled, picked up, and cared for with surprising ease. And when I finally choose to spend time with you, it feels like you have won the kitten lottery. My affection is not something I give away indiscriminately, which makes those moments when I seek you out or settle comfortably in your arms feel incredibly special. I have a sweet, gentle side that shines once I trust you, and earning that trust is part of what makes me so rewarding to know.
My adoption fee is $175. That includes spay/neuter, microchip, FIV/FeLV combo test, current vaccines and health check.

Hi! I’m Tacoma! I love my sister Prius, but I’m also eager to explore, chase toys, and dive into whatever fun is happening. I prefer body pets just like she does, but once I feel comfortable, I’m ready for adventure. If you want a playful, curious kitten who still enjoys snuggle breaks, I’m your girl.

Hi! I’m Supra and I’m a cheerful, people‑loving kitten who is always happy to see you. I start purring quickly and want to be involved in absolutely everything you do. If you’re cleaning the litter box, I’ll supervise from over your shoulder. If you’re working on the computer, I’ll stroll across the keyboard or, if you’re lucky, flop dramatically onto the desk to keep you company. I have a curious, helper‑style personality and love being part of the action.

I am currently available for adoption from my foster home. If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an application on our website www.carmaoc.org
Hi! I’m Highlander and I’m the adventurous spirit of my litter. I was the first to escape the kitten room and go exploring, and I’ve been boldly checking out new spaces ever since. Like many orange boys, my brain occasionally buffers — I pause, think, and then zoom off again — but it’s all part of my charm. I love a good chase with my littermates and bring a fun, energetic vibe to playtime. Whether it’s racing down the hallway or pouncing on a toy, I’m always ready for action. I’m confident, curious, and full of classic orange‑cat personality.

I am currently available for adoption from my foster home. If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an application on our website www.carmaoc.org
Hi! I’m Mirai! I’ve grown up with my littermates and love having big chase sessions with them. I enjoy any toy and can easily entertain myself, whether it’s batting something across the floor or inventing my own games. I’m an independent, playful kitten with a bright personality.
I do have one quirk: I’m sensitive to Revolution, and it causes temporary hair loss for me. I even got a little bald spot when I received my microchip. It doesn’t slow me down or affect my health — it’s just something to know about me.

Adopting a cat in North Tustin

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
