20. Cyper

Adult · Male · Siamese · 30 mi from Running Springs

I had a home at one time. Then I ended up in the streets of Kuwait. My bad luck didn't stop. Someone took me in but wasn't willing to foster me. The person wanted me gone that day. This is when I started with some good luck. I was taken in by Kuwait Animal Aid. They had a foster home that had space for me. After that I was sponsored to travel to the US to find my forever home. I'm friendly to humans but would rather be only cat. If your looking for your 1st cat to adopt. I would will be perfect for you. Please consider giving me a forever home.

Adopting a cat in Running Springs

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.
