About Turtle

Turtle is a shy calico kitten who found herself alone on the freeway in Vallejo. Luckily, one of our staff spotted her and brought her to safety. While she's still adjusting to her new surroundings, Turtle is blossoming in her foster home. After some time, this little one has gained confidence and now loves to sprint around during playtime, also known as the infamous kitten zoomies. She enjoys the company of her fellow foster kittens and often chooses to curl up with her foster mom for some cozy moments. Though Turtle may be hesitant when it comes to being picked up, she warms up quickly once held and loves gentle neck scratches that bring on her sweet purrs. She’s comfortable around resident dogs, often coexisting peacefully with them. Turtle is seeking a loving forever home where she can grow even more. If you're ready to give her a chance, please fill out an adoption application on our website. Your new best friend is just one click away.
