Story
Fozzy Bear is a sweet, playful young Muppet who alternates between zooming after toys and lounging in a sunny window. He enjoys the company of other friendly cats and even helps shy ones come out of their shell. Fozzy is a big boy and likes to be petted, but he’s also quite shy, ready to dart away if unsure. A reassuring voice and gentle hand will help him relax. With patience, he will warm up and show his sweet side, offering soft kisses, graceful poses, and elegant tail swirls.

Story
We took in a pregnant stray mama and have successfully found homes for all except him and his sister, Momo, who he is bonded to! They’re 9 months, very sweet and don’t bite or scratch. He’s very good with other cats and with dogs! He loves to be pet and likes to snuggle! He also likes napping with his sister and playing with his toys. We hope to find a home who will take both of them.

Story
This little guy and his sister were trapped in a field in Bakersfield and brought to Ventura to be fostered. He is your typical orange and white cat with energy and intelligence. At 7 months, he is ready for his forever home. A lap for a good nap, food, and toys are his jam. He is fixed, dewormed, treated for fleas, and has had his first round of shots. Satisfaction is guaranteed and if this energetic little boy doesn’t fit into your life, at any time, we will take him back and try to find him a new home. If you are local to Ventura, we provide free pet sitting for him, too.

Story
Abby (born July 2024) is an intelligent beauty who thoughtfully reads the room before jumping into play. She loves vertical space, and cat trees or wall mounts are recommended for her climbing nature. She is a soccer star and dribbles ping pong balls with style. Abby (rescued along with her brother Benji) is a shy foster and an independent soul. She is always near but doesn't like over-handling. The way to her heart is with play. She will run to partake, but not if other kitties are too rough. She could do well as a solo kitty. She particularly loves bedtime to socialize – jumping up on your bed to purr, head butt and cuddle. Abby has a soft ticked tabby coat and big, beautiful gold green eyes. (maybe Abyssinian mix?) At mealtime, Abby is not shy and chirps or squeals for attention. In a loving, peaceful home, her confidence will shine with time, and she will delight with her energy and sweet presence. To learn more, visit socalpetrescue.com
