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
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.

Story
Bella and Stella are bonded sisters. Bella is the lounge greeter and immediately seeks affection from all who come in. She is very affectionate and playful at the same time. Her sister Stella is a character. She is funny and sweet and ridiculously adorable with her little mustache. She might not be as bold as Bella right off the bat but once she warms up to you she wants all the pets and attention. Bella and Stella truly love each other and would go great in a furever home as the only cats. You’ll never be bored! 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
My son’s friend’s cats had two litters of kittens in his garage. My son came home with one. She is so sweet, friendly, playful. Eats well and uses cat box. We tested her at the vet and she does not have diseases. She likes our cats and met a dog. We just cannot have three cats. We want a good home for her!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Pepper is a loving and quirky little girl. Never a dull moment with this one around. She is high energy so she will do best with a constant companion, either a stay at home human or a kitty sibling to keep her out of mischief. She does not enjoy being carried around but a sitting human is fair game to show her lap warming skills.
