Story
Eliza joined us along with 3 siblings from Shannon’s Fosters. She tends to play alone more than with other cats but gets along fine with everyone in the lounge so far. She seems to be on the calmer end of the spectrum as far as young cats go. She likes to be pet and have human attention but sometimes it has to be on her terms. She’s getting better at letting us pick her up. She’s a really cute little cat! Date of Birth: April 2, 2025.

Story
Bugsy and his two siblings joined the lounge from Shannon’s Fosters. Bugsy was nervous with us at first but now he’s playful and friendly! He seems to enjoy other cats and we would prefer to see him in a home with a feline friend. We are not ready to accept applications for him as an only cat. He also likes to meow for pets and for food!

Story
MEOW! I'm FENNEC, a 5-year-old handsome tabby boy who needs a foster or forever home. I have a sweet personality and beautiful green eyes! I was rescued from a California shelter, and then tested FIV-positive, which only means I need to be the only cat in your home. But I'm a healthy boy and I love human attention and affection. I'm a friendly fellow who loves to be held and cuddled. I can be a bit shy at first, but once I get to know you, I'm all purrs and head rubs. I'm a gentle soul, mellow and easy-going. I promise to bring a touch of tranquility to your life. Can you foster or adopt me? I'm currently in Southern California.

Story
These sisters have had time to decompress in the lounge and are now available for meet and greets and adoption. Bella (the tabby) has been the more outgoing of the two so far. Both are out and exploring their space at night, and we see lots of activity on the camera! Stella has started staying out during the day, and Bella has been exploring the lounge more each morning. These girls were rescued as kittens from the Apple Valley shelter and spent about 7-8 months in a foster home before joining us.

Story
Dotty originally joined us from a foster home in Altadena after the fires in early 2025. Dotty adores human attention. She has a silky coat and can sometimes be a little chatty. When she wants to be a lap cat she can be quite insistent! She was adopted but after 3 months, she and the resident cat were fighting, so her adopter made the difficult but necessary decision to return her to us. Dotty’s next home will need to be as a solo cat.
