These two pals, Garfield and Cloude, share a special bond forged on the streets. After being rescued they have have adapted wonderfully to being completely indoor cats. They're a dynamic duo seeking a forever home together, best suited as the sole pets in a loving household. Garfield's outgoing nature complements Cloude's gentle demeanor, creating a harmonious bond. Garfield is a charismatic orange tabby bursting with personality. He craves attention and affection, often leaping up for pets. Garfield's a desk companion for remote workers, preferring to be by your side. He's dominant and might clash with other cats, except for his bestie Cloude. Cloude is a gentle lynx point Siamese with a slight cross-eye. He is more reserved and sensitive to new environments and noises. But with the companionship of Garfield and kind human interaction he warms up quickly. He adores belly rubs and kneads the air with contentment. Think these two could be perfect for you? Come meet them! Apply for adoption: https://www.calismisfits.com/adopt

Story
This solid little powerhouse will delight you in no time. She purposefully makes her way to where the action is and wants to always know what's going on with everybody in the room. She doesn't mind petting and affection after she learns to trust you, but would much prefer to be a part of things than just sit there getting petted. Small in size, Willow has plenty of confidence and she likes to get warm under the blankets. Being so curious, we're guessing she'd prefer a home with another animal, but humans may be all she needs. Please submit an application to adopt Willow on our website at www.aaloc.org. Once your application is reviewed and approved we will contact you to make an appointment to visit us at AALOC to meet Willow and get to know her a bit. Donation of $100 for cat adoption includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, and a microchip. Applications require a veterinary reference and home visit. We adopt to residents of Orange County, CA and surrounding areas. Please note: For families with children, we require children to be 10 years of age or older, although exceptions are made depending on the circumstances.

Story
Jasmine, a mackerel tabby with beautiful grey eyes, arrived at AALOC when her owner decided she couldn’t care for her anymore and left Jasmine on the porch. Jasmine is a bit timid when meeting new people but likes to cuddle and play once she gets to know you a bit. Overall Jasmine has a very sweet personality. Jasmine has a condition called nystagmus which causes her eyes to move back and forth involuntarily. This may have been the result of trauma before she arrived at AALOC. It does not require any medication but regular check-ups with your vet would be recommended for Jasmine. Please submit an application to adopt Jasmine on our website at www.aaloc.org. Once your application is reviewed and approved we will contact you to make an appointment to visit us at AALOC to meet Jasmine and get to know her a bit.

Domestic Shorthair

Male, 16 yrs 8 mos
Midway City, CA
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Good with kids, Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Charlie was hit by a car and permanently injured one of his front paws. Fortunately that doesn’t stop this sweet mackerel tabby cat from getting around and living a normal cat life. Charlie can even climb to the top of cat trees and cages. He may be a little slower than a fully functioning four-legged cat but he is very resourceful and determined. Charlie has also recently been diagnosed with diabetes which is manageable just like it is in humans. But because Charlie requires insulin as a maintenance medication and regular vet visits to ensure he stays on a good health path we are looking for someone who can care for Charlie as a permanent foster. This means AALOC will pay all the medical expenses for Charlie but he will live with you as your own cat. Charlie is a bit shy at first but like most mackerel tabbies once he warms up he is a very affectionate feline. He likes being held and is pretty good at sitting on your lap or just reclining next to you on the couch. Mackerel tabbies are known to be very curious and intelligent and overall a very friendly and loyal pet. Charlie would make a great best friend. Please submit an application to permanently foster or adopt Charlie at www.AALOC.org. Once your application is reviewed and approved we will contact you to make an appointment to visit us at AALOC to meet Charlie during visiting hours (10am to 3pm daily) and get to know him a bit. For more information on AALOC’s foster programs policies please visit our website at www.aaloc.org or contact us by e-mail at aaloc@aaloc.org, or by phone (714)893-4393. Donation of $100 for cat adoption includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, and a microchip. Applications require a veterinary reference and home visit.

Scarlett is a darling little girl! She is a very shy at first; she takes time to warm up to strangers but then loves all the attention you can provide. Because she is so timid we recommend a quiet adult home as the best fit for Scarlett.

Story
This little girl is looking for a forever home but it will take just the right human to understand her needs. Taylor is very shy and patience will be necessary in order to provide this sweet cat the time necessary to become accustomed to a new home, a new routine and a new owner without any other pets. Because of this we feel Taylor would fit best in a quiet, adult-only home. Ultimately though Taylor will make it all worthwhile – we know she has the potential to become a wonderful pet and companion. Please submit an application to adopt Taylor on our website at www.aaloc.org. Once your application is reviewed and approved we will contact you to make an appointment to visit us at AALOC to meet Taylor and get to know her a bit.

Mia came to AALOC with one eye missing but still has approximately 60% of her overall vision. She also has a very mild case of a neurological issue that causes her to bob her head. Neither of these issues slow this little kitty down! She likes all the attention you can provide and likes to play and be petted. Given the change Mia would make a great addition to your family!

Story
Found in an adoption site around 7 years ago, at that moment he had some wounds and he was not too familiar with being around people. He was around 3 years old at that time and super skinny. We grew up to love him and did as much as we could to make him comfortable around us. Our household grew up a little too much now with 2 kids and a baby coming on May. We are looking for someone that could spend good quality time and can actually take good care of him since as he grows, he would need more care and more love that with pain in my heart I don't think our family could give him that. Please, if you're looking for a loving, playful, funny and really quiet cat, give him a chance and he would get into your heart.
