My story

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

Meet Winston, a resilient 2-year-old black cat who spent a long year waiting outside a school in Lynnwood after being abandoned. Despite his hardships, he spent every day begging for affection from anyone who passed by. Since moving into his foster home, Winston has proven to be an incredibly easygoing and social guy who holds no grudges against the world.

Winston is a true "people cat" who is exceptionally gentle with children and enjoys the company of other feline friends. He is a mellow, adaptable companion who just wants to be part of the family. After a year of dreaming of a warm bed, this sweet boy is finally ready to find a forever home where he will never be left behind again.

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.

Go meet their pets

Paws in the Sand Cat Rescue is a foster based rescue, so all of our adoptable cats reside with their foster families who are located across Orange and LA 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 lifestyle, needs and location.

We have adoption events at Pets Supplies Plus in Long Beach on Bellflower Blvd in between Lazy Acres Market and Sports Basement. Those events will be announced via our social media.

More about this rescue

Paws in the Sand Cat Rescue is dedicated to saving the lives of cats in Southern California. Our mission is to rescue cats from high-kill shelters, and rehome abandoned cats, giving them a second chance at life. In addition to rescue and rehoming, we are passionately committed to supporting community cats through Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) services. This humane approach reduces the number of unwanted kittens and promotes healthier cat colonies. By partnering with local shelters, veterinarians and our local community, we aim to create a safer environment for all cats. At Paws in the Sand, we believe every cat deserves a chance. Our work is driven by compassion, dedication, and a commitment to making a lasting impact on the lives of our cat communities.
