Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Luna! When Luna found her way to CCR, she so pregnant she looked about to pop! In fact, the very next day she gave birth in her foster mom's bathroom! That was back in May, and since then Luna has settled down nicely and really shown us her super sweet personality. We don't know exactly how old Luna is, but her playfulness has us believing she may still basically be a kitten herself. She is shy at first but once she knows you becomes very affectionate. Luna is okay with other cats, so long as they are also "cat friendly," as she has not at all shown to be dominant and can easily be bullied by rougher cats. Two of Luna's three kittens have found their forever homes already, we'd love to see her find the perfect family to love her forever.  _____________________________________________________________ If you'd like to meet any of our adoptable kitties, please submit an application today.

Story
Jazmine is a fun cat who was rescued from right here in Ventura! She was fixed and set to be returned outside since she was a community cat who no one claimed. But it turned out she was so friendly that her feeder wanted to give her a shot at being an owned, indoor cat. Jazmine tends more to the independent side and would do just fine as an only cat. She gets along better at the lounge with the kittens but sometimes chases Dotty.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Lynx! Unfortunately for this handsome boy, one of the children in his previous home developed a severe allergy so they had to give him up. But they loved him so much they reached out to Cats Cradle in the hopes that we could help, and luckily the time was right and we were able to take him in to our foster program. A very affectionate kitty, Lynx follows his foster mom around the house like a little shadow. He loves to cuddle up on a lap, but is still young enough that he's playful too. Lynx is really easy going and has had no problems with the existing cats in his foster home. He doesn't even bat an eye at the resident dog either. _____________________________________________________________ If you'd like to meet Lynx or any of our adoptable kitties, please submit an application today.

Story
Cleo is an amazing cat. We adopted her as a kitten around 9 years ago. She is extremely sweet and cuddly, she loves to play, and she is great at scratching only her scratching post. 7 years ago, we moved and got an Australian Shepherd. We hoped he and Cleo would get along, but to this day they still interact with each other as little as possible. Cleo became more distant and not as playful, always watching over her shoulder. She would still snuggle with us, but definitely not the same. However, we noticed as soon as the dog was outside of the house, she would trot up to us with a hair tie or q-tip for us to throw for her to fetch. It is obvious she is not living to her potential. In addition to this, we recently introduced our second child into a very small house with our dog and cat. Since Cleo is obviously unhappy with the dog, and now getting zero attention from her owners, we have decided it is time she is re-homed to someone who will love her as she deserves. Thank you!

Adopt Me: Meet Cheeto!Cheeto is a 3-year-old sweetheart who`s made an amazing recovery and is now ready for his forever home!This handsome guy with the soulful eyes is loving, gentle, and sweet. He enjoys attention, cozy naps, and making new friends.Cheeto is FIV-positive, but that doesn`t slow him down!FIV Facts & Myth Busters:FIV is a cat-only disease and cannot be spread to humans or dogs.FIV-positive cats most often live long, healthy, and normal lives with no symptoms.The virus is not easily passed between cats through shared bowls or snuggling—it`s primarily through serious bite wounds, which are rare for an indoor, neutered cat like Cheeto.Adopting an FIV+ cat is not costly or complicated. All they need is regular vet care, indoor living, and lots of love!Cheeto is looking for someone to give him the second chance he deserves. Adopting him means opening your heart to a wonderful companion who will love you unconditionally.Could you be the one?

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Give our cats & kittens a loving, forever home, and let them put a smile on your face!     Malina loves to play and purrs upon touch. A tortoiseshell, she has beautiful butterscotch and black markings. We call it catwalk camouflage - very stylish. Young Malina enjoys romping with her housemate kitties and is never mean. But she loves her alone time as well, curling up at the top of a cat tree to get her beauty snooze. Malina loves mornings and comes in to carefully perch on your covers and wake you so quietly with her whispered mews. She is a sweet alarm clock. This little gal is demure and observant. In a home with love and playtime, she will melt and become a cuddly sidekick. Fun quirk: She loves to play and pounce on feet under the covers. Such fun to watch her chase her much bigger bro, Fozzy! This little girl is a delight. Email foster at socalpetrescue1@gmail.com or fill out application at socalpetrescue.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 11, 2025, 7:55 pm
