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.

Story
Hi we are the Forest Friends litter and we are 3 months old. I am Foxy. Our story didn’t start so good when our mother, a feral cat, gave birth to us on our foster mom’s porch without knowing what a nice lady she is. It was very scary at first, our mom was very skinny and skittish but fortunately our Foster Momma took us all in and kept us warm so we wouldn’t starve or get hurt on the streets. We are healthy, strong playful kittens who are now looking for our forever homes. We have kitten energy and like to play in cat tunnels, climb cat trees, and like to wrestle our cat foster brothers and then take long naps after supper. When we are sleepy and tired we like to cuddle with our doggy foster sisters who do a great job of taking care of us. Oh and did we mention, we love snacks? We are interested in going to a great home that will love us and take care of us. We will do well in a home with other cats and or large and small dogs. We all love to tussle and play together, but Loris and Foxy make a great twin duo, Squirrel and Badger love wrestling and Moose and Wolf love the cuddles. Will you be our forever home?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.

Story
Meet Sonny, the handsome orange and white gentleman who has faced life's challenges with grace and resilience. Born in December 2015, Sonny first joined our family in December 2020, and his journey since then is nothing short of inspiring. Sonny's story took it’s first turn when he was rescued, thin and sickly, from a dog fighting ring. He spent several months under our care, where he not only regained his health but also tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). However, his FIV status never deterred us from finding him the loving home he deserved. In February 2021, a compassionate young couple embraced Sonny's FIV+ status and adopted him, assuring us they would provide him with all the love and care he needed. Sadly, due to family conflicts, this promise was broken, and Sonny returned to us in August. Sonny is not just a cat; he's a real sweetheart and a big, lovable teddy bear. He thrives on companionship and will quietly follow you around as you go about your day, settling down next to you when you take a seat. His endearing 'chirps' are his way of saying, 'I'm here, and I'd love your company,' and his purrs start the moment he receives your attention. While Sonny has a mellow and easy-going demeanor, he also has a playful side that will warm your heart. Watching him play is a joy in itself. Recently, we learned that Sonny has kidney disease, but he's stable with a special diet to maintain his health. Sonny has shown immense gratitude for the love he's received, and he deserves nothing less than a happy home and secure love for the rest of his life. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this incredible survivor and gentle soul, Sonny is more than ready to become a cherished member of your family. Give him the chance to fill your life with love, warmth, and companionship like no other.July 25, 2024, 12:16 pm

Story
Introducing Holly, a resilient feline with a heart of gold. Originally rescued by Peter Zippi as a tiny kitten at the end of 2020, Holly found what was thought to be her forever home with a kind lady in January 2021. However, life had other plans, and after three years, Holly returned to us in January 2024. Adjusting to this unexpected turn of events hasn't been easy for Holly, but thanks to the care and support of a loving foster home, she's slowly rediscovering trust and confidence. At first reserved, Holly blossoms into a loving companion once she feels secure in her surroundings. With patience and understanding, she transforms into a devoted lap cat, seeking warmth and affection from her human companions. Despite the challenges she's faced, Holly's playful spirit remains intact. At just four years young, she still enjoys engaging in gentle play. Holly's journey highlights the importance of patience and compassion, and she's now ready to find a home with someone who will appreciate her resilience and offer the understanding she deserves. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion, Holly might just be the perfect match for you.July 25, 2024, 12:16 pm

He’s a 100% indoor cat, current with all vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and he’s declawed on the front paws, which makes him ideal to have around precious furniture and small children. He loves to hang out where he can see everyone and stretch his super-long body all the way out!

Olaf, our affectionate and healthy indoor cat has been a part of our family since 2019. Prior to joining us, he had lived in two other homes. Olaf thrives on companionship and will choose to stay by your side throughout the night. His manners are impeccable; he respects boundaries by avoiding kitchen counters, and is careful not to disturb household items. It is hard for us to let him go. This decision comes due to a significant change in our living circumstances that unfortunately prevents us from continuing to provide for him. We are dedicated to finding Olaf a loving, caring environment where he will continue to receive the affection and attention he so greatly deserves.
