Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Tobias was found with his leg trapped in an animal trap some douchebag hunter left out. I’m refraining from posting the photos of how he was first found because they are so graphic.  All animal traps, such as the one Tobias lost a leg to are disgusting and end up hurting so many. If you feel so inclined to buy one, please use it on yourself and leave the animals alone.  Despite losing a leg, Tobias is a happy and healthy loving boy. Fully vetted and recovered and ready for his forever home   ##1497215##

Story
This is a 'Courtesy Posting.' To meet Mowgli contact Harriet Britt: 818.845.3832 or 4allhmb@gmail.com Mowgli is a very special Cat. He’s an eight year old Orange/Buff Tabby/White American Shorthair with a round face, white chin, chest and feet, pale green eyes and little brown dots on his pink nose. Mowgli is intuitive and smart and social. He does best when there is interactive play daily with his humans, and loves to be brushed and cuddled at night time. Mowgli enjoys people coming to the house and will greet everyone. He’s a wonderfully interesting mix of dominant, sensitive and affectionate. He was leash trained and likes to go out on leash in a fenced yard where it’s safe. Mowgli is used to a treat of Cat grass - who doesn't love a good treat? He is active at play, but will see watch out windows if he’s not getting attention. Mowgli will sit on your lap or hang with you at your computer. He will “make biscuits,” give little Cat nip kisses, and loves to chase a lizard if one makes it into the house. Mowgli likes his interactive flying bird, playing with yarn and a new catnip banana. He loves treats! He may be good with other Cats if introduced properly/slowly but we don't know for sure; no Dogs, please. To meet this cute character contact Harriet Britt: 818.845.3832 or 4allhmb@gmail.com

Story
Meet Sean Connery –  this silver fox has the good looks, the charm, and even a twinkle in his eye – with a harrowing tale as well – he was trapped at one of the worst high kill shelters in Los Angeles on the euthanasia list, but with mere moments to spare, a fair maiden came to his aid and he escaped JUST in the nick of time.    He’s just a perfect man – loving, playful, cuddly, affectionate, and calm – he really is the WHOLE package!   May 9, 2024, 12:07 am

Good with cats, Declawed, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Divina! Divina and her family were strays and need loving homes. Divina and her children, Nino and Nina were living in a junkyard where they were being fed by a caring human. All cats are now safe with a loving foster but still need a FOREVER home with an amazing family. All cats are healthy and have been spayed/neutered and are vaccinated and microchipped. Divina is very timid, gentle, and sweet but will also eat treats from your hand. She needs a patient family who will take their time with her so she can come out of her shell. She’s fine around other cats and likes slow, gentle pets from her humans. She’s about two years old. Please email info@pawsofLArescue.org to inquire about adoption. Courtesy post*

Story
Harmony is a very talented young athlete. She runs and climbs all the time so we hope she chooses a forever family with lots of indoor space in which to frolic! She is a very busy little gal during the day (bird watching, chasing bugs, batting toys, etc.) then turns into a precious little love bug at night - best cuddler and foot warmer in the business! She is loving, playful, super active but she likes to be the only queen of the house. She just too challenged by other pets. Harmony would be happy as sole queen of the domain. Harmony is spayed, has all her shots, and is FELV/FIV negative. If interested in adopting Harmony, please send us an email to LittlePawsOfTheValley@gmail.com and fill out our questionnaire at https://sibamedia.wixsite.com/lpotv/cat-questionnaire Thank you!

Story
Dime is the smallest (cutest … ) of his litter, and his brothers & sisters have all found their loving forever homes. He is fussy about who is humans will be, and is therefore still on the hunt! Dime is a sweet little cutie pie, who likes to play and sleep on his kitty tree all the time. He is the most charming, friendly, gentle, curious, athletic, little smarty pants snuggler around. He would like very much to be in a home with another kitten with whom to play. Dime needs an experienced (patient) adopter as he does not like to be touched or picked up. Dime is neutered, has all his shots, and is FELV/FIV negative. He is good with other cats & children. If interested in meeting Dime or any of the other kittens, please fill out a questionnaire and we will get back to you in no time! Thanks. https://sibamedia.wixsite.com/lpotv/cat-questionnaire
