Ember is a stunning calico with a spicy personality and a serious independent streak. She came to us skin and bones, fiercely devoted to nursing her three kittens, who have all since been adopted. With her mama days behind her, Ember is now living her best life as a playful, confident cat with a whole lot of playfulness.
She’s not into cuddles or being touched, but she lives for her metal back scratcher. She’ll chase my boyfriend around the house begging to be scratched by it. God forbid you give her a sneaky pet, she will give you a look of disgust! She’s also totally unfazed by our large dog and loves exploring every corner of the house like she owns it.
One of Ember’s favorite pastimes? Watching Cat TV. She’ll perch contentedly for ages, completely entranced by birds, squirrels, or whatever’s moving on the screen (or the window). She’s also quite the chatterbox and never shy about expressing her opinions.
If you’re looking for a sassy, smart, and highly entertaining companion who prefers interaction on her own terms, Ember might just be your perfect match.

Additional adoption info
Our adoption process is designed with the pet and the family in mind. We look to make the process as easy and efficient as possible for our adopters, while also preserving the key safeguards that ensure we place our kitties with loving homes they can be sure to stay with forever. Sometimes we may ask for a virtual home visit via video or FaceTime to gain more insight into what kind of kitty will best fit your lifestyle and environment.

More about this shelter
It all started in 2020 when Friends of Normie founder Ladan Davia found a mother cat and six kittens on the side of the road. All of the shelters and rescues she called in hopes of ensuring this feline family’s safety told her to leave them outside or that they were at capacity. So Ladan went to her local hardware store, bought a trap, and set up a makeshift shelter for the seven cats in her bathroom.
Through the local cat network Ladan got connected to Marla, a rescuer with 25 years of rescue experience. Together, they rescued thousands of cats over the next two years, setting the foundation for what Friends of Normie is today. Without a physical facility, Marla and Ladan utilized a network of committed volunteer fosters to give new rescues temporary, loving homes until they were adopted. Along the way, FON harnessed the power of social media to mobilize the Southern California cat community.
This community began to gain traction as more and more people began following its journey. Today, Friends of Normie has over 44,000 followers who support the rescue and collectively help cats get matched with fosters and adopters quickly.
