Emilia - Calico and Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Hermosa Beach, California

Emilia was rescued with her mama and siblings from Hawthorne Auto Square and has been growing into her own ever since.

She’s a stunning calico with expressive eyes and a thoughtful, independent personality. Emilia likes to take things in before jumping in—she’s the kind of kitten who observes first, then decides when she’s ready to join the fun.

And when she does, she really joins in.

She’s playful, athletic, and loves a good chase. Wand toys, ball toys, and anything that moves will quickly earn her attention. She’s also a bit of a window watcher, happy to perch and keep an eye on the world outside.

Emilia is treat motivated and continues to build positive associations with people. She’s warmed up to gentle pets, especially after playtime, but she still prefers not to be held. With time and consistency, she will continue to grow in confidence.

She would do best in a home that appreciates her independent spirit and allows her to engage on her own terms. A confident feline companion could also help her continue to come out of her shell.
