About Santa Maria (Domestic Short Hair) in San Diego, CA 92111

Santa Maria is waiting for you at Animal Rescuers Without Borders in San Diego, CA 92111. Meet Santa Maria! We just discovered an “oopsie” and realized that Santa Maria and her two daughers had NOT been posted online for months! For anyone reading this bio for our mamasita, just know that we have notes going back to February. 6/20/26 - Here is what the foster mom has to say about this beautiful tabby: Santa is a very chill adult cat with impeccable manners. She is gentle, silly at times, loves to sleep/nap (especially up high on the top of the kitchen cabinets or in the cat tree), has the cutest little meow, which at times may surprise you because she sounds like a baby kitten. She is living at Casa de ARWOB, which means she lives with her daughters Pinta and La Nina. They are almost a carbon copy of their mother, BUT the difference is the nose color and the white markings on the face. Santa needs to be adopted into a home with other cats or a single cat. She tends to bully her daughter Pinta – in fact, both Santa and Nina bully Pinta for some reason, which means we would love to find a separate foster for Pinta and another foster for Santa and Nina. Santa does NOT bully any of the other cats living at Casa de ARWOB, so it seems to be a “family matter.” Santa is the type of cat who is gentle, calm and smart. She spends most of the day on her own, but several times a day she will come and find you by jumping into your lap. This is when she is seeking loving pets/kisses. She will occasionally also chill by your computer when you are working. She will randomly get the zoomies and play with toys on the floor, specifically anything large like a tennis ball so she can do the bunny kick. We believe she was likely a great hunter as a past stray, so she just loves the laser pointer and feather wands that she can “hunt.” She is super loving and will jump up on the counter in the morning to greet you. Santa is also a very clean kitty with excellent litter box
