Bombay kittens & cats in Sarasota, Florida

1,360+ DAYS OF WAITING TO BE CHOSEN! Coco Chanel is spayed, negative for FIV/FeLV, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. She is a sweet girl who would love a furever home of her own. Coco Chanel came to our rescue with six tiny babies in December 2020. One baby was born disabled. For the last 3 1/2 years, Coco Chanel has given up her chance at a furever home by herself so she could stay and care for her disabled baby. Sadly, her daughter passed away July 13th, leaving Coco Chanel alone in their foster room. Now, it is time for her to shine! Coco Chanel gets nervous in unfamiliar territory, so Meet and Greets will take place in her foster home. To schedule a Meet and Greet, please complete an application. (Experience with cats is required.) ##2128014##

Scarlet is not just a cat; she’s a vibrant little girl who brings joy and curiosity into every corner of your home. With her sleek silhouette and captivating eyes, she embodies the charm of a miniature panther, effortlessly stealing the spotlight wherever she goes, and indicating she may be an American Bombay Mix. Always eager to engage and interact, she’ll hop onto your lap, meowing as if sharing her latest thoughts or secrets. Scarlet will also tell you that she is hungry, which is all day long. If you try to ignore her, she will get louder and try to get in your way until she has your undivided attention. Once you give her the wet food, she’s happy… until she’s ready to eat again. Whether she’s playfully stalking the elusive red dot from the laser pointer, immersing herself in her favorite wand toy, or finding the coziest spot to curl up next to you, Scarlet thrives on companionship and adventure. Her playful antics and endearing conversations remind you that life is meant to be shared, especially with a little feline companion who has so much love and energy to give. Adopt Scarlet today!

Kittens need to be adopted in pairs to avoid only kitten syndrome. Mother Nature Knew What She Was Doing When She Created Kittens in Litters! Kittens need interaction with other kittens for healthy social development. A kitten learns a lot in the first several months of life from their mother and littermates. Separating a kitten from their mother is often a necessity for adoption purposes, but taking it away from their littermates and isolating it can delay the kitten’s development emotionally, socially, and sometimes physically. Kittens who are able to remain with one of their littermates or a similarly-aged companion tend to be healthier and happier, and in the long run, better socialized pets than those who are isolated from others of their kind at an early age. Even loving, caring, humans are not adequate substitutes for kitten companionship. Even if a person is fortunate enough to be home quite a bit, the amount of attention a lone kitten will demand is likely to occupy more time than the person has available. A pair of kittens will definitely still want to interact with people, but can keep each other occupied. Most cats, regardless of their age, are highly sociable and are truly happier living with other cat companions. This in turn makes them better pets. Kittens are curious and crave constant stimulation. Out of boredom, a single kitten will often entertain themself by chewing plants, climbing drapes and furniture, unrolling toilet paper, exploring electrical cords and sockets, etc. Kittens who live with other kittens may sometimes do these things as well, but if they have another kitten to tumble around and play with it is less likely they’ll need to entertain themselves with behaviors like these, which can be destructive and dangerous. Kittens bite and wrestle with one another–this behavior is normal. You can’t prevent a kitten from doing what comes naturally, any more than you can force a two-year-old toddler to sit still. Though it’s not acceptable for a kitten to bite and wrestle with their human companions, in the absence of having a littermate or companion their own age to play with, this is precisely what a single kitten will want to do. Even if you are willing to allow (and can tolerate) this behavior from your kitten, by the time the kitten matures, you will end up with an adult cat who has developed very bad habits (i.e. biting and scratching as “play”). Kittens are very active at night A single kitten is likely to keep people awake at night with constant jumping, pouncing and other “hunting” behavior. With a companion to play with at night, this behavior is minimized because they will have each other to chase and play games with until they too fall asleep. A single kitten is not a good companion for an older cat Kittens have boundless energy. They want to play and run constantly which typically overwhelms and irritates an older cat. Likewise, a kitten is apt to be frustrated that their companion doesn’t have their same level of energy. At the very least, this can lead to two very unhappy cats. At worst, behavior problems such as litter box avoidance or destructive scratching can occur as one or both cats act out their frustrations on their surroundings. It’s not likely that the two will have a close, bonded relationship, even after the kitten matures, since their experiences with one another from the beginning of the relationship are likely to be negative. An older cat is better matched with a cat closer to their own age and temperament. If you chose to add a kitten to a home with an older cat, adopt a pair of kittens, not a single kitten. This ensures the energetic kittens have buddies to play with and the older cat can choose to participate in playing or not.

This guy is full of personality. He is SMART. He studies the behaviors and habits of people and seems to know what they are thinking and doing. He watches me do things and has been known to outsmart me. It's impressive. He is the type of cat who follows you all over the house, including every time you go to the bathroom. He likes to be right there at your feet purring and rubbing on you. I started calling him my little buddy because of this. He is always right by my side. He is curious and likes to examine every grocery bag, every new item, every thing around him. He is prone to getting "zoomies" and flying around the house. He is also very cuddly and loves attention. He will lick your fingers, hands, and arms when you pet him and doesn't mind being picked up, carried around - even picked up upside down. He likes to sleep right next to my head, even sharing the pillow with me, and I frequently wake up to my forehead being licked. He is a lover and he is the sweetest little guy.

**PLEASE READ** Armani (Siamese) and Chanel (tuxedo) are a male/female bonded pair. They are not from the same litter but are the only a couple of weeks apart in age and were adopted at the same time and are currently almost 9 years old. I do need to take them for updated shots but I will do that before rehoming. They are both fixed but are not declawed. They have never been outside except on a screened in lanai. ** I will not separate them. ** Adoption fee negotiable, but I will only let them be adopted if I am certain they will be loved and cared for.

Peter is one of the sweetest older gentleman you will find around. He always seeks attention from anyone entering our cat room. He loves to be pet and even doesn't mind to be held. He does, however, have an endocrine condition known as hypothyroidism. He requires twice daily medication that he thankfully takes in canned food with ease. This condition has caused him to become skinny though now that he is on the proper medications, he is putting on weight again. Peter has lived with both dogs and cats in his past home and would be the perfect companion for almost anyone willing to give this sweet senior a loving retirement home.
