My story

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

Augustus was found schmoozing construction workers for scraps at a local taco truck. Rescuers first confused this guy for a scrawny Muppet that took a wrong turn from Sesame Street. He had previously been a TNR (noting his familiar eartip, and confirmation he had already been neutered)
This brown tabby man would soon reveal himself as a quirky, grumpy-but-loveable couch potato. With a floofy, princely mane combined with the gaze of an underfed, sorrowful Victorian child- Augustus, or Auggie as he's sometimes known, does not want your kisses. He does not want endless affection or to be carried around from room to room, he does however, want to be under your feet, wherever you happen to be, scratches under his chin, and a few pets. You will get a quick nip if you take the affection too far.

Auggie really wants chicken, and will use that naturally sad look to plead for it. For the sake of his waist, these requests are (mostly) denied. To his utter dismay.

As he has peculiar quirks. For one, he has a distinct distaste for plastic bags on the floor. He will make certain you know he wants it picked up and cleaned. Kittens can be tolerated, but children of the human variety are much too loud and fast-moving. Big male cats or dogs that might be rude to him? No, thank you. He likes pets but only in a certain quantity and of quality. Bad pets will get a head swerve and a glare that implies the guillotine.

When he decides you are befitting of his love, he shows it in the quiet. He wants to lay and sit by you. You'll find he follows from room to room. You may even hear the occasional soft "meow" when he's decided, yes, it's time for his person to love on him.

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.
