3. binx c.
Binx is an adorable, neutered black domestic shorthair kitten who is affectionate to the point of being delightfully annoying. He always wants to be wherever you are, and the second you touch him, the purring begins.
This little guy is full of kitten energy and loves to play, especially with other cats. He wrestles regularly with the resident cat and would love a feline playmate in his forever home. He also co-exists happily with the resident 50-pound dog, so he's proven he can handle a big personality (and a big housemate) with ease.
Binx has a great appetite and a voice to match. He's vocal enough to let you know when he wants food or love, and he's not shy about asking for either.
If you're looking for a sweet, social shadow who will follow you from room to room and purr the whole way, Binx is ready to be your guy. A home with another playful cat would make him extra happy.

These four adorable kittens are incredibly pretty and well-behaved and love people. They enjoy playing and being together. The best pairings are any two of the four or one with another kitten because they’re so playful. They really enjoy balls with bells, fuzzy little mice, springs, and the ball tower, as well as kicking back with each other to nap, as you can see from the picture.Sedona, the dark orange tabby with white paws and tuxedo, is just so handsome.Tucson, the buff tabby with white, is quite outgoing and just loves attention and calls for it too.Prescott, the all buff tabby boy, is a stellar example of how all orange kitties can really vary in shade.Phoenix, the calico girl, is just wonderfully marked. She's more petite than her brothers, but she's quite up to everything they are when it comes time to play.

14. Gus
Meet Gus, a curious little observer who likes to scope out the scene before joining the fun!
Gus has plenty of kitten energy and a cautious but playful spirit. New things fascinate him, though he often prefers to watch from a comfortable distance before investigating. His favorite reason to venture closer? Churu treats. This boy knows a good snack when he sees one.
Read more about Gus
Gus is still learning to trust people, but he’s happy to hang out nearby when everyone is calm and respectful of his space. He enjoys gentle pets in small doses and can be held briefly before he’s ready to hop down and get back to kitten business. We’re helping him build confidence at his own pace.
Gus is looking for a patient adopter who will appreciate the little milestones and let him take the lead as your friendship grows. Bring a calm presence, a little patience, and a supply of Churus—Gus will bring the curiosity.
Prior to adoption, all kittens are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. Kittens under 5 months old must be adopted with a buddy or into a house where there's a kitten-friendly pet.

❤️ MEET DICE: THE LITTLE KITTEN WHO WAS LEFT BEHIND ❤️
Read more about Dice
Imagine being a tiny kitten, alone in a schoolyard, crying day after day, hoping your mama would come back. That is how little Dice's story began. This precious black-and-white boy was reportedly found in a schoolyard, where he had been crying for days. His mother had apparently moved his siblings to safety, but for reasons we will never know, Dice was left behind. He waited and cried, but no one came back for him. By the time he was rescued, Dice was desperately hungry, struggling, and in need of care. Instead of being curled up safely beside his mother and siblings, this tiny boy had been fighting to survive all alone. Thankfully, someone finally heard his cries and gave him the chance he so desperately needed. ❤️ Dice's story may have started with heartbreak, but we want it to end with love. This sweet little boy deserves a home where he will never have to wonder if someone is coming back for him, where his belly will always be full, and where he will always have a warm, safe place to sleep.
Dice spent his earliest days crying for someone to find him. Now he is hoping someone will choose him and love him forever.
Could you be the happy ending this little survivor deserves? ❤️

Quick Look
Name: Parklet
Age: Kitten
Size: Small Package, Maximum Floof
Special Traits: Black and white tuxedo coat, whiskers for days, magnificent grandpa ear floof
Best Friend: Anyone who appreciates a kitten with a distinguished face and a curious little heart
About Parklet
Looking for a kitten with the elegance of a tiny tuxedo model and the facial furnishings of a retired gentleman? Meet Parklet, a beautiful medium haired black and white tuxedo girl who comes equipped with spectacular whiskers, luxurious fluff, and enough ear floof to make a grandpa proud.
Read more about Parklet
Parklet is a curious little soul who likes to keep tabs on the world around her. New sights, interesting objects, and mysterious goings on all deserve a closer inspection. She's the kind of kitten who wants to know what's happening, investigate for herself, and make sure no exciting development goes unexplored.
And then there's the floof. Her medium length coat gives her an extra fluffy appearance, but her truly outstanding features are those whiskers for days and her impressive ear furnishings. Those ears look like they belong to a distinguished older gentleman who has strong opinions about the thermostat and remembers when treats cost a nickel.
Of course, Parklet is still very much a kitten. Beneath that distinguished exterior is a curious little girl who's just beginning to discover the world and all the fun it has to offer. She's equal parts adorable and entertaining, with the kind of face that makes it very difficult to get anything done when she's nearby.
Personality Highlights
Curious Investigator: Wants to know what's happening and will happily conduct her own thorough inspections.
Whisker Wonder: Possesses an absolutely magnificent set of whiskers that deserve their own introduction.
Grandpa Ear Floof: Those fluffy ears give her the distinguished look of a tiny feline professor.
Tuxedo Sweetheart: Beautifully dressed for every occasion, even when the occasion is knocking something off a table.
Loves
Exploring new spaces and investigating interesting things
Being adorable without even trying
Showing off her spectacular whiskers and ear floof
Playing and discovering new kitten adventures
Finding cozy places to observe the household happenings
Not a Fan Of
Mysterious objects she hasn't had a chance to investigate yet
Being expected to sit still when there's something interesting happening
Anyone suggesting that her ears are anything less than magnificent
Ideal Home
Parklet would thrive in:
A loving home where she has plenty of opportunities to explore
A family that appreciates a curious kitten with a big personality
A home with toys, cozy resting spots, and lots of interesting things to investigate
People who understand that adopting Parklet means accepting a lifetime of admiring her whiskers
Interested?
Parklet is a little tuxedo masterpiece with the whiskers of a Victorian gentleman, the ears of a wise old grandpa, and the curiosity of a kitten who hasn't yet met a mystery she doesn't want to solve.
She's ready to find a forever home where she can grow, explore, and share her adorable, fluffy self with the people lucky enough to love her.
Part of adopting a kitten is watching their wonderful personalities develop, and Parklet is just getting started. One thing is already certain: those whiskers and that grandpa ear floof are going to be unforgettable.

26. wanda
Wanda is an energetic ball of fun. She races around with her sisters, oblivious to anything in the world except the task at hand: play. She can fly through the to catch a feather wand, attack a crinkle ball like it owes her money and chase a spring all across the room. Her sisters love to engage in unending rounds of Wrestle-mania.
Read more about wanda
Wanda is curious and adventurous. She is eager to explore everything about the world around her, examine every corner, sniff out every new experience. She is interested in the activities of her humans and will supervise them until she is satisfied, then move on to her next venture. This exuberant little furball is simply a delight. Her antics will leave you smiling, because the world is a better place with her in it. And when she’s worn herself out, she will curl up nearby, resting up for her next round- but for now just content to be next to you.

27. ms.marvel
Ms Marvel is a long furred beauty who is wise, gentle girl. She’s pure kitten when it comes to playing and she is all in with her sisters, wrestling and chasing each other until they drop. She loves a fuzzy worm toy and will chase a spring across the floor until it disappears into the void that cat toys retreat to, then come back to find her next subject.
This sensitive girl gets along well with other cats and knows how to approach them gently and carefully. She understands how to just be still while others adjust. There’s a very smart princess under all that fluff- she lives up to her name. She’s an exceptional kitty for someone who can appreciate her old soul energy. And when she’s not taking care of all those around her, you can find her curled up close, resting up for another episode of play and kitten mayhem. The best of both worlds.

All of our kittens are only available for adoption in pairs as it is our policy not to place kittens under six months of age in a forever home without another same aged kitten. We also do not place kittens older than six months into homes where there is currently not another young cat in residence. Most of our kittens are in "bonded pairs" or bonded with their littermates. We reserve the right not to separate bonded pairs or place kittens individually. The happiness and quality of life for our kittens is our top priority. =^..^=

30. Louisianna
These sweet, playful girls are best friends who love racing around together. They have energy to spare, and give them a spring toy or a wand toy and they’ll happily play for ages. They’re very attached to each other and would love a home where they can stay together.
Louisiana and Thelmabelle can be wary of new people at first, but they’ve made wonderful progress. Once they feel safe, they come out to play and spend time with you. They don’t mind being held, and Churus are a sure way to win their hearts!

They enjoy playing with their foster home’s resident cats. They’re still figuring out the dog, though they’re curious enough to approach and sniff him. With time and a calm introduction, they may become comfortable with a gentle dog.
These fun little girls need someone who will give them time to settle in and build trust. They’ve already come so far, and with patience, their playful and loving personalities will keep shining through.
Prior to adoption, all kittens are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped.
This kitten is currently in a foster home. To meet this kitten, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. www.thedancingcat.org/adopt

Adopting a kitten in Salinas
Kittens usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're eating on their own and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.
Think about adopting two. Kittens raised together play with each other instead of your ankles and furniture, and many rescues charge less for a pair.
Kittens need more of your time than grown cats: several small meals a day, plenty of play, and a home with cords and small objects tidied away.
