My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Chickpea is a silly guy. He is very cautious around everything but after he gets used to it, he doesn't care.

For example: First time he ever got into a car, he was meowing his head off and then after 30 seconds, he was calmly riding in front without a care in the world.

He LOVES food. Chickpea actually got the nickname “Meatball” because when he was a kitten, he would eat so much food when we picked him up, it felt like there was a giant meatball in his stomach.

We feed him with a slow feeder mat so he doesn't get indigestion. Whoever takes him, definitely should continue that.

We also make sure to keep the house extremely tidy or else he will try to get into everything.

Because he is food-driven, it makes him super easy to train. We have been following Albert & Mia (YouTube Channel) and following Albert's clicker training.

Training Chickpea is super fun because he picks up commands super quickly. We are only 4 days in and seeing insane results.

Chickpea is the type of cat you can teach how to perch on your shoulder and bring him around public places on a leash.

If you are someone that can do 5-10 mins of clicker training with him every day, you are going to have the coolest cat companion that you can show off to all your friends.

He has tons of energy and needs someone that will play with him regularly or that may get a second cat that he can play with. He is also good with dogs.

If you’re looking for a lazy cat that lounges around all day, it ain't Chickpea.

If you want a cat that you can train, play with, and that will be super loyal to you…Chickpea is the one. If bro was a human, he’d graduate Harvard and make it to the NBA.

If you adopt Chickpea, please don't let his amazing talents go to waste

Additional adoption info

We adopt animals to homes in the Los Angeles area and neighboring counties.

To help ensure that we place our cats in loving, responsible, committed homes, we have a screening process before you can adopt a pet from Kitten Rescue. We reserve the right to turn down potential adopters as we deem necessary. First, we ask that you complete our Adoption Questionnaire at kittenrescue.org/cat-adoption-form/. You can complete the form online or you may stop by a weekly adoption event to complete form in person. Second, a home visit or a home delivery of the cat or kitten is also required as part of our adoption process.

The Kitten Rescue adoption fee is $150 for a kitten or cat up to 10 years old, and $100 for each additional kitten or cat to the same household ($250 if you adopt a pair). Cats above 10 years old have a fee reduction of 50%, for an adoption fee of $75 each.

All of our cats have already been:
Spayed or neutered
Vaccinated – with at least one FVRCP vaccination
Treated for fleas
Dewormed
Tested for FeLV (Feline Leukemia) and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus)
Microchipped

More about this rescue

Kitten Rescue is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization devoted to finding loving homes for unwanted, homeless cats and kittens. We rescue cats and kittens from the streets of Los Angeles and from City Shelter euthanasia. Since our start in 1997, we have grown into one of the largest, most well-respected animal welfare groups in LA.

Kitten Rescue volunteers adopt out over 2,000 cats and kittens into homes every year. We educate the public about responsible pet guardianship, how to care for kittens and cats, and the importance of spaying and neutering. Kitten Rescue makes educational material available via events, print, school presentations and here on our website. We also provide Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) assistance for communities in and around Los Angeles, and teach people how to manage and care for feral cat colonies.
