Story
Hi! My name is Sadie. I am a sweet 12 month-old girl kitty. I am sweet, sassy, and confident! I will give you lots to rubs to show you that I love you. I love when my foster Mom gives me scratches on my head. I have so much love to give and love spending time with my human friends. I will cuddle up right next to you and fall asleep in your lap or right by your feet in the bed. I love to play with my feather toys and take naps in the sunlight. My brother, Stevie, is my best friend. It would be wonderful if we could be adopted together. If you feel I would be a good fit with your family, please reach out to Dirty Little Paws Rescue at Dirtylittlepaws@gmail.com or fill out my adoption questionnaire. I can hardly wait to be part of your life. Adoption questionnaire: http://tinyurl.com/DLPquestionnaire

Story
Hi there! Nice to meet you, I'm Stevie and I am a 3 year old male orange tabby. Let's start with the obvious.. I am missing an eye! My foster mom tells me I'm still very cute, though! I was born on the street with a bad eye, and was able to get it removed once I was placed in foster. I have been loving life ever since! I love to play with my feather and mouse toys, and will run to greet you when you get back home. I'm vocal, so I will be asking you about your day with my cute little meows! I've been told my fur coat is very luxurious, and a beautiful dusty orange color. I might be a little shy at first as I acclimate to new people and a new home, but I am very treat-motivated so I'll get comfortable quickly with some extra love and of course, treats! I'll be your best friend forever, and can't wait to have a family and home to call my own! If you feel I would be a good fit with your family, please reach out to Dirty Little Paws Rescue at Dirtylittlepaws@gmail.com or fill out my adoption questionnaire. I can hardly wait to be part of your life. Adoption questionnaire: http://tinyurl.com/DLPquestionnaire

Story
Hi! My name is Bandit and I am a 12 month old tuxedo male. I have beautiful white and black fur, with light green eyes. I am a sweet boy who is also a bit of a shy guy. I like to always observe what is going on and look to my brother for confidence. I love to bask in the sunshine and watch the hummingbirds with my brother, Figaro. While my brother, Figaro, is more outgoing, I tend to be more reserved. My forever family will need to show me some extra love, time, and patience so that I can blossom and really come into my own! I am bonded with my brother and we will need to be adopted together. I am neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. I can’t wait to meet you!

Story
Hi! My name is Jetta and I am a 18-month old female kitty. I have the most beautiful black luxurious fur coat and stunning yellow eyes. I was rescued while eating pizza on the streets of Los Angeles. Originally they thought I was a boy, but my foster Mom realized that not only was I a girl, but I was pregnant! I gave birth to three amazing and healthy babies on 2/6/23: Beamer, Benz, and Bentley! I had a hard life before I was rescued and I don’t always trust humans. Sometimes I will hide and give a little hiss when I am scared, so I will need new parents that are patient with me. I may try to pretend I am tough, but I am really just looking for the right family where I can relax and feel safe. I like to have my head pet and be with my humans. I would really like to stay with one of my kittens if I can; we are a very close family. I am spayed, up to date on my vaccinations, and microchipped! I can’t wait to meet you! Hi!

Now that two of my boys have new families, I am ready for my forever home! My foster mom says I remind her of Bastet, an Egyptian cat goddess. She says I’m very regal and classy. I’m very affectionate and always want to receive pets. Whenever my foster Mom comes into the room, I will immediately start walking by her side and in between her legs. I’m a total Velcro kitty—I want to be stuck by your side! I am loving, sweet, and loyal. I am cautious around other cats but do enjoy their company too!

Story
Hi! My name is Sebastian and I am a handsome 8-year old tuxedo male. I have beautiful white and black fur with honey colored eyes. Everyone that meets me instantly falls in love. One day I wandered into a lady’s backyard and she could tell that I was in really rough shape. I looked like I had been suffering for some time trying to survive outside. I was rescued and placed into the most amazing foster home, where I have truly been thriving and completed a true transformation! My wounds have healed and my fur is healthy and shiny now! I absolutely love being an indoor cat. When I’m not playing with my mouse and feather toys, you can find me taking long luxurious naps on my foster Mom’s bed while she reads. I love to receive lots of pets and will start purring right away. I’m excited to find my forever home! I am a loving, loyal, sweet, and affectionate kitty. I will steal your heart right away! I can’t wait to meet you!

Story
Cricket grew up on the road as part of a carnival sideshow act known as The Ventrilocats. It was a family act, and Cricket was one of 10 siblings famous for their vocalizations. She enjoyed it as a child, but once she hit adulthood, she'd had enough of the traveling lifestyle. Now with us, this confident, outgoing girl has discovered that the good life consists of a warm home. She hasn't lost her performer-level energy--she still loves to play with her humans and explore--but once she gets her energy out, she'll happily curl up on the bed with purrs and loving blinks. She also still loves to talk! She'll use her voice daily to let you know her thoughts, especially telling you that you're her person and she's going to stay close to you (or asking you why you're in the shower). Don't be a dummy, give Salem a chance to win your heart today! Primary Color: Brown Tabby Age: 1yrs 0mths 2wks

This is a courtesy listing, not a SPOT Rescue cat. For more information regarding Gringo, contact Jeanne below.. Sweet 5.5 year old gorgeous fixed male Gringo with soft as a bunny white fur & stunning jade green eyes has been searching for his forever home for so long! Gringo was abandoned as a kitten at my building. I took over his care when a neighbor couldn't afford to do it but I can't keep him and need to find him a good home quickly. He loves to cuddle and listens intently. He enjoys engaging in conversation when you ask him questions, which is the most adorable thing you've ever seen. He loves playing with cat nip toys and lazing around in the afternoons on the sofa or on his cat tree house. He never has had an accident in the house and comes when called, most of the time. He's highly intelligent, playful, and social. He loves to be pet and brushed and loves rubbing his head against yours. He is just a cat with a lot of love to give. Gringo loves to touch and reach his snout up for quick kisses. Looking for an exceptionally loving, cat experienced home for this gorgeous and very special guy. He loves to sleep in bed next to you but prefers if you keep the door open. Gringo comes with his favorite toys, his cat tree house, food, his litter boxes, litter, brushes, his own fancy customized Gringo tote cat bag, and everything you need to get started. He is vaccinated and microchipped. Only the best will do for Gringo. Please help find Gringo a home by sharing this post.
