Beanie got his name after a pretty unforgettable rescue when he was found in a parking lot with his entire head stuck inside a can of beans. Somehow, even after that rough start, he’s turned into a spirited, energetic, loving boy.
He’s playful, curious, and very affectionate. Beanie loves chasing a laser pointer and absolutely destroying his plushies with enthusiastic bunny kicks, but when playtime is over, he just wants to be close to you. He’ll curl up next to you, purr nonstop, and follow you from room to room like your tiny, devoted shadow.
Beanie is the kind of cat who makes you feel special. He rubs against your legs, checks in on whatever you’re doing, and is always happy to soak up attention. He also happens to be very food-motivated, which means treats are basically a fast track to his heart.
He’s been groomed, treated for fleas and worms, and is currently getting drops for a mild eye infection. He’s been neutered, vaccinated, and fully tested. Aside from that, he’s healthy, happy, and more than ready to start his next chapter.
Beanie has already survived a lot, and now he’s just looking for a safe, loving forever home with enough space where he can finally settle in and be loved.

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.
