3. binx c.

Kitten (3 months 9 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 45 mi from Salinas

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.

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? ❤️

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.

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.

26. wanda

Kitten (3 months 19 days) · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 45 mi from Salinas

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.

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

Kitten (3 months 19 days) · Female · Tabby / Domestic Long Hair / Mixed (long coat) · 45 mi from Salinas

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.

30. Louisianna

Kitten (4 months 17 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 47 mi from Salinas

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!

Read more about Louisianna

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.

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.
