2/19/26 - Here is what Hazel's foster family has to say about her:
"Hazel is such a spunky yet cuddly kitty! Once she's given a minute to acclimate to her surroundings, she is very confident and has that classic kitten curiosity and playfulness. She absolutely loves anything that moves and will choose playtime over treats most days of the week. With each day that passes, she's also becoming more and more of a lap kitty and, when she's not running around finding things to do, she loves nothing more than to cuddle up on your lap while you work or watch tv. She's also a huge fan of sleeping under the covers and will regularly ask me to lift the blankets up so she can crawl to my feet and curl up -- it's adorable! She's definitely still got a bit of stranger danger to work through but, once she's warmed up to you, she'll absolutely follow you around and peek her nose into everything you're doing. If you're looking for an adorable calico kitty with lots of personality to match, Hazel is your girl!"
Original Rescue Story 2/15/26:
Hazel is not only a beautiful looking feline, but her personality is so loving too! She is currently fostered in North Park. She was fostered as an only kitty and was thriving. BUT as of late February we sent a couple of other foster siblings Koko and Poplar to join the party, so she is getting the hang of sharing her foster mom human. Ha ha!
Hazel was rescued from Ensenada Mexico during the holidays and she was malnurished and weak. She was quarantined and nursed back to health and eventurally transported to San Diego in February to a foster home where she could finish her vetting. She is now spayed and has been Felv/Fiv tested in San Diego. She is a very healthy girl, fully vaccinated, and READY for her forever family to adopt her. She would be fine as an only kitty, but for a lifetime of happiness she would probably enjoy being adopting along with a second kitty friend (like Koko or Poplar) or into a family with another feline resident. That would be amazing.
Her adoption fee is higher than the city shelter because we need to cover the medical expenses for testing, sterilization, etc. Please, do not submit adoption application if the adoption fee or homecheck and landlord approval requirements are a problem. Once an application has been received, we will review it and contact you via email or text to schedule a phone call. If you do not hear from us within 3 days of submitting an application, please contact us! You can submit your application at www.arwob.org
