✨Feline Feature: Pitaya ✨

Meet Pitaya! 💕
Part kitten, part bunny rabbit, and 100% chaos in the best possible way, Pitaya is a fluffy little adventurer with a huge personality! If you’re looking for a kitten who keeps life exciting, Pitaya is your guy.

This curious cutie loves to spend his days exploring, playing, and investigating every corner of his kingdom. As the fearless leader of his litter, he takes his job very seriously—especially when it comes to defending everyone from the dreaded Vacuum Monster. Brave, bold, and always ready for action, Pitaya is usually the first to check out anything new.

The quickest way to win his heart? Treats, snacks, and tasty goodies! But once you’ve earned his trust, you’ll discover there’s more to Pitaya than his playful antics. Beneath all that energy is a sweet, loyal kitten who loves being close to his people and keeping them company.

And while it may be obvious, it still deserves to be said: Pitaya is absolutely gorgeous. With his incredibly soft, fluffy coat and movie-star good looks, he’s as stunning as he is lovable.

If you’re searching for a kitten who’s equal parts entertainer, explorer, cuddle buddy, and supermodel, Pitaya is ready to steal your heart!

✨️ Feline Feature: Toki! ✨️ ​
Meet Toki! This special boy is an absolute survivor who has blossomed into a sweet, affectionate kitten looking for a forever home full of love and cuddles.
​Toki is a gorgeous brown tabby with green eyes, an adorable white tummy, and perfect white socks. While he’s a petite boy, he completely makes up for his size with a loud, rumbling purr and impressively determined headbutts. He is a true shadow and sidekick who just wants to trail you around the house. If you pay attention to him, he’ll roll around in pure joy, begging for his favorites: head scratches, belly rubs, treats, and playtime.
​Toki’s journey hasn't been easy. He originally came into rescue with severe bite wounds across his back and a congenital diaphragmatic hernia that severely affected his breathing. But this resilient boy is a fighter. His hernia was successfully surgically repaired, and we are thrilled to share that he has completely recovered from both his wounds and his surgery! Toki is now a vibrant, healthy kitten who beyond deserves a lifetime of yummy snacks, cozy nap spots, and endless affection.
​Toki gets along beautifully with other cats and would love a home with a feline friend to play with (given proper, slow introductions). He may do well with older children, though he has not yet met dogs or toddlers. Toki is the perfect best friend, and his future adopter will get the ultimate privilege of becoming the center of his world.
​Toki’s estimated birthday is 01/01/2026 💛 Apply to adopt this miracle boy today by visiting his petfinder at https://www.petfinder.com/cat/toki-c604ff17-5dba-4f75-93d3-4b2164d7b05b/ca/davis/orphan-kitten-project-ca449/details/
