Featured Cat: Misty

Meet Misty, a lovable 13-year-old bunny-soft grey cat. Though she is mostly blind, she explores her surroundings and shares her affectionate nature with everyone. Misty enjoys peaceful naps, cuddles, and soft meows to stay connected with her humans.

During the day, Misty loves curling up next to her human or exploring cozy spots like her donut bed or an electric heating pad. She can climb onto the couch but needs help getting down or onto the bed, patiently waiting for assistance. Misty purrs constantly, signaling her happiness and reminding you of her presence.

She thrives on affection and adapts easily to her environment, enjoying being held but needing to be placed on familiar surfaces for security. Her gentle nature makes her a joy to care for, and she enjoys grooming, particularly kneading during nail trims. Misty needs a human who can spend time with her, as she gets anxious when left alone for too long. Her playful spirit emerges in the evenings as she explores and engages in play.

Misty is a sweet and loving senior cat seeking a caring forever home where she can thrive.

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.
