Love at first purr ❤ : Eesha and Joel met each other after being rescued by The Dancing Cat and since then a fated sweet friendship has formed that would lead you to believe they were littermates!
Eesha is a cat's cat and feline friends light up her world and bring her tremendous joy. Eesha's primary love language with people is play, and she makes fast friends with anyone that will commit to a wand toy session multiple times a day. With other cats, she loves to chase and wrestle while always keeping things friendly. She can often be found following her bonded bestie Joel around, snuggling up to him, and initiating grooming sessions. Eesha enjoys pets and will circle around you rubbing up against everything in sight. You may even see her do happy excited little somersaults as she's getting some scritching attention.
Joel is a big, snuggly gray tabby. Inquisitive and confident Joel always wants to be involved in the household action. Whatever you're doing, he'll be there ready to participate! When the action slows, Joel will add his charming trills and meows to keep things fun. He loves playtime, cheek rubs, and climbing on his people for a big cuddle.
Ideal home 🏡 : Eesha and Joel are the perfect choice for a home seeking a pair of playmates who keep each other happy and entertained for hours on end. While initially shy, the more they learn to trust, the larger their capacity to love on their humans unfolds. Are you ready to double the love in your life? Consider adopting Joel and Eesha!
Cats at The Dancing Cat — Meet in Person

Cats in Foster Homes
Some of out 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.
