My story

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

Ginger is a 1 year old kitty with a curious and playful personality. She gives lots of kisses and loves to rub against your legs. She can be timid at first, but once she gains confidence, her curiosity really shines. She currently lives with our 11-year-old golden retriever, and she enjoys spending time near her. Ginger isn’t afraid of dogs, though she definitely prefers calmer and gentler ones. Ginger is also surprisingly good with water! She likes to play in it and handles bath time well as long as the water isn’t too loud. She’s not a big fan of being petted for long periods, but she will seek out attention when she wants it. When she does ask for pets, she loves ear rubs and doesn’t mind a little nose boop. She enjoys her cat tower and scratching post, and she loves playing with lasers, cat springs, and ribbon toys. She also loves looking out the window at all the birds and squirrels! Ginger can get a bit spicy when she’s overwhelmed, and she’ll express her feelings with tiny protest meows. Overall, Ginger is a curious, playful kitty who thrives with interactive playtime and plenty of places to explore.

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.

Friends of Normie is an entirely foster based rescue so all of our adoptable cats reside with their foster families who are located across Orange, LA, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties. We have a kitty for every family and locale, so we will work to match you with a feline friend who matches both your desires and your location.

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.
