Calvin

My story

Calvin’s early life was full of hardship, but you’d never guess it from his wild, adventurous, and outgoing spirit. He was rescued from the streets of Northridge on a road called Calvin Street—hence his name. A kind neighbor had been feeding his mother and her litter but tragically, coyotes took the rest of Calvin’s litter. Calvin was the only one to survive, and with the help of a rescue team, he was safely trapped and brought to a loving foster home. Calvin was incredibly frightened when he was first rescued, but with time, patience, and care, he has made remarkable progress. While he still needs a patient adopter to help him continue his socialization journey, his playful, bold personality grows brighter every day—proof of just how far love can bring a little survivor like him. From the moment he settled in and felt safe, it was clear—Calvin is a confident, independent kitten who loves to play hard. He’s usually the one to kick off wrestling matches with his best friend, Phoenix, and is always ready to zoom through tunnels, chase toys, and “hunt” the teaser wand before proudly parading off with his latest “kill.” Both boys love a good hunt, but Calvin is definitely the more competitive of the two! While Calvin can happily entertain himself, his affectionate side is just as charming. On certain days, he’ll decide it’s “follow-you-everywhere” time—trailing behind you, asking for pets, and curling up beside you when you settle down, all the while purring like a tiny motor. And don’t even think about leaving him out of the fun—if a door closes and he finds himself stuck on the wrong side, you’ll hear a big, dramatic meow letting you know he’d much rather be with his people and his kitty friends. Calvin and Phoenix, KRLA-A-86442, are a bonded pair who balance each other perfectly—Calvin’s bold, high-energy antics match beautifully with Phoenix’s gentle, affectionate nature. They must be adopted together and are looking for a home that will give them the patience, love, and playtime they both deserve. Please contact the foster at cjmacias93@gmail.com
