Story
Binx was once a stray cat that showed up one day. We would feed him regularly and then noticed that he wasn’t feral at all. We felt responsible to have him neutered so that the stray cat population would not grow. Binx adapted naturally as a foster cat. He loves to play with wands, tunnels, and pompom balls. Most of the time though, you will find Binx relaxing on the cat hammock that clings onto the window. He also loves to lay on your lap and receive all the pets and cuddles he can. Binx is also very food-motivated! Please send a message to (818) 314-5854 for any inquiries. Located in Tujunga, CA 91042.

Story
Adopt a Cat Profile Meet Moody and Camo, a pair of lovely Domestic Shorthair sisters. My daughter adopted them during the COVID period, and they’ve always been indoor cats. They’re well-mannered, use their litter box consistently, and are friendly with people and other animals. I have a service dog from Canine Companions due to my disability, and Moody and Camo have always been comfortable around him. Unfortunately, since my daughter moved out and didn’t take them with her, I’m no longer able to care for them on my own due to my mobility limitations. They’re both five years old, spayed, and incredibly clean and easy to care for. I would love to rehome them together since they’ve always been bonded. I’m also providing some essentials for their new home, including an electric water fountain, an automatic feeder, extra cat food, litter, collars, toys, and even flea medication. I’m hopeful to find them a loving and caring home where they can continue to thrive. ⸻ Feel free to let me

Story
We found him at Hayward, previous owners cut his microchip out and dumped him. Even so he is very trusting and loves to cuddle. Definitely a lap cat, looking for someone experienced to take him as we already have two cats and can't afford a third. He's house trained and doesn't cause problems. He may take a while to get used to other pets at first. Please contact me if interested

Story
Macy is a TNR’d kitty that my husband and I took in after finding her crying and following us on a walk on Thanksgiving Day 2025. Once we fed her and brought her inside, we quickly realized she is a very loving and cuddly cat who truly enjoys human interaction and affection. She is a sweet girl, playful, and a great cuddler. We were hoping to welcome Macy into our family permanently, but unfortunately our two resident cats have not adjusted well to her. Despite our best efforts, the situation has reduced the quality of life for both our cats and for Macy, who is currently confined to our bedroom. Because of this, we are hoping to find Macy a loving forever home where she can thrive. She is up to date on her vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and is approximately 1 year old.

Story
Hi, I'm Nala! I'm a brown tabby Maine Coon mix, and I'm looking for my forever family! My foster family says I'm a total love bug. While I'm a little bit reserved when you first meet me, I love playing with my wand toys, and purring as loudly as I can while getting as many pets as possible. I would do best in a home without other pets, or be adopted with my son, Simba. We are in the same foster home if you want to visit both of us. We can either be adopted together or separately, but make sure you look at his listing too! Want to watch another video of me playing with Simba? Copy and paste the link below! https://youtu.be/rhAVx6jwoR4 Please reach out to my foster mom, Mary, at 925-788-4792 if you want to add me to your family!

Story
Hi, I'm Simba! I'm a brown tabby Maine Coon mix, and I'm looking for my forever family! My foster family says I'm a very sweet boy. I'm always playing with my toys (wands, mice, springs, etc.), but my new favorite thing is being brushed. My foster family says I purr like an engine, and I LOVE sitting in my fluffy beds and soaking in as many pets as possible. I would do well in any home, even if you have other pets or kids. I'm learning how to be around dogs at my foster home! My mom, Nala, is also available for adoption, and we are in the same foster home if you want to visit both of us. We can either be adopted together or separately, but make sure you look at her listing too! Want to watch another video of me playing with my mom, Nala?
