Story
We adopted Smaug back in April 2023 with another black cat from a different foster home. They warmed up fairly quickly and get along very well. We estimate him to be 2 (human) years old. Unfortunately, our lifestyle doesn't seem to do well for him as he is a very engaged cat. He loves attention and will let you know when he wants to play or lay on the couch or bed with you, even when you are in a meeting or busy. After many months of trying to find things that may keep him engaged or busy until his "humans" are free, it seems that he just really needs human affection and attention more often than we can provide. We are hoping to find Smaug an owner who will be able to give him the time and attention he needs. Smaug loves to play, but also will be bugging you when it's time to relax in the evening so he can lay on the couch with you HAHA. He enjoys looking outdoors and playing with a variety of toys with his human. He comes with a single cat carrier, toys, and a walking harness.

Story
Caramelo was rescued on Valentine’s Day, and is an inside-the-home adventurer and bedtime-reading pal. He loves exploring his environs and taking in new territories and scoping them from windows. After a romp with his wand and bell toys, he likes hanging out on the sofa with you, and enjoys falling asleep to a good bedtime story. He can be reserved around new people. But once he settles in he is a curious, playful, affectionate book-loving guy. If you're interested in learning more about Caramelo, please visit https://blackcatholisticrescue.com or send an email to blackcatholisticrescue@gmail.com. He is available for adoption and for foster to adopt!

Story
Squeak's rescue story: Squeak was abandoned on a church doorstep at 3 weeks old. She had been placed in a box with her mother and 2 siblings (Taffy and Cream Puff) and the box was taped shut. After a day or so, someone from the church looked in the box and was surprised to see this sweet little family looking up at her. Squeak isn't black, but her mama is and we never leave anyone behind! Squeak deserves a chance to be in a loving home. Squeak, a.k.a. Squeaks McGeeks, got her name because when she was a very little kitten, she'd SQUEAK instead of meow every time she was picked up! She is a super-friendly purring machine - the first in her litter to purr! - who will always be excited to see you and have A LOT to say about it! She is chatty and outgoing, and loves to burrow into laps, flop over shoulders while being held, launch herself into the air to catch a feather toy and somersault when she lands. She seems interested in other cats, and seems like she would do well with another cat friend. But what she really wants is a home — and a human — to call her own. Her mama, brother, and sister have all gone to their furever homes - will you welcome Squeak into yours? If you're interested in adopting Squeak, please fill out an adoption application at https://blackcatholisticrescue.org.

Story
ALSO AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER TO ADOPT! Faith is an amazing lady! At 10 years old, her previous humans left her behind in a box when they moved. She stayed there day after day, waiting for them to come back, but they never did. Faith has been thoroughly examined by our private veterinarian. She was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, a tongue deformity and arthritis in her hips. Her thyroid medication is applied on her ear transdermally each day and her thyroid levels are now normal. Her tongue deformity does not bother her! She likes to eat and groom herself just like any other cat! All she wants is a forever human who will love her unconditionally and never abandon her. Faith has an enormous amount of love to give and she desperately wants a second chance at life with humans who cherish her. If you're interested in adopting Faith, please complete an adoption application on our website here: www.blackcatholisticrescue.org

Story
Hi my name is Vader, I am a neutered male, less than 2 years young. I was rescued after a nice Noah’s Bark volunteer heard that me and my siblings were on our way to get dumped in the canyons to be coyote food. My siblings have all been adopted. Now it is my turn to find a furever home. I love playing, I like toys like small stuffed mice and small soccer balls. I have medium length fur with some extra poof near my tail. I am very sweet but take a little while to warm up to new people. I am used to being in a busy home with other cats and dogs, I love being around my cat friends and like sleeping in quiet corners of the house. I also love to sit at the top of the cat tree and observe my surroundings. I would do best in a home with another cat to hang out with. I am ready for a home of my own where I will be loved forever.Our adoptions are restricted to residents within 30 miles of the South Bay area of Los Angeles. We do not ship animals or do long distance adoptions. See our adoption policies for more details on our adoption process.
