Why adopt one kitty when you can double the love, joy and contentedness inside your home? Meet a deeply bonded duo who met as kittens and formed an everlasting friendship that is a true delight to behold. Fear not, there is plenty of room in their hearts for a special human to complete their found family!
Clown Pants has a deeply rich universe whirling around inside of his handsome head. With striking markings that allure the eye he is certainly used to attention being paid, but like so many other unique beauties it belies a more introverted character. With new people he is cautiously curious, but can be won over with routines of treats and toys. Clown Pants III would like a quieter home where he can work at his own pace (and take lots of naps!). He might not want the limelight but that doesn't mean he is a shrinking violet, Clownie loves to play!
Graphene is a wonderfully friendly cat who gets along with other kitties, especially his bestie Clown Pants III! He is patient, observant and loves to start the party. Bust out the feather or ribbon toys to engage in a play session or sit back and watch him wrestle around with other kitties. The way into Graphene's heart is through lots of play and treats. If you give him a Churu treat, he will gently hold onto your hands, gobble it up, and declare you his new best human friend.
If you’re looking for a pair who can keep each other company when you’re away and be your BFF when you are home, consider the rewarding journey of building trust with two absolute gems!
Cats at The Dancing Cat — Meet in Person
Some of our cats are in residence at The Dancing Cat, our cat adoption lounge. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application to start this process.
Cats in Foster Homes
Some of our cats current reside in loving foster homes. If you are interested in adopting any of these cats, please fill out an adoption application to start this process. Some can be met in person and others via zoom.
Kittens
Kittens need to be paired with another kitten to aid in socialization. Fill out an adoption application to meet these and other kittens we have in our foster homes.
All kittens 5 months or younger must be adopted with a buddy. The buddy can be a litter-mate, or they can be adopted into a home with another young kitten or cat. For information about why we adopt in pairs, read here about single kitten syndrome.
FIV+ Cats
From time to time we host cats that have tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), which causes a weakening of a cat’s immune system. Most cats that have FIV live a long, normal lives, both in quality and longevity. They just need to be monitored for infections and dental issues.
The virus is not contagious except through deep bite wounds, blood, or inherited from their mother. FIV+ cats can live in multi-cat household without resident cats contracting the virus. As their immune system can be sensitive, their health (infections and dental issues) should be monitored a little more closely than most non-FIV cats.
We are following policies set by national animal rescue organizations and accredited veterinary medicine universities. For more information, refer to the UC Davis FIV page and the Best Friends FIV page.
