Story
***Please read bio*** Hi! My name is Princess Peach and I'm a male british longhair mix currently living in Kuwait. I'm between 1-2 years old. I am hoping to make the next trip to Los Angeles in late July/Early August. Unfortunately, I cant come until I have a secured foster or foster to adopt home for me. I am a spunky, sassy little troublemaker and probably wouldve done better with the name Bowser haha. I am extremely playful and can annoy calmer cats. Its best I am fostered as a solo kitty or with a kitty thats equally playful. I love to have FUN all day long. I can be a little rough with play so its recommended I'm not fostered with young children. Important Info: Fosters will be required to isolate me from other household pets for the first 2 weeks minimum. Fosters must be within 40 minutes of Studio City as thats where our vet is. Cats from kuwait are at risk of exposure to ringworm or upper respiratory infections. This is why we quarantine and ask that fosters be comfortable treating these if they pop up upon arrival. The rescue will advise and cover all medical expenses. You can apply to foster at (www.friendsforliferescuenetwork.com/foster-la) Please include the -la in the link or an error will pop up. Thank you!

Story
Meet our fabulous, timid, baby girl Boots! She was rescued from dire conditions on the streets and has since then been fixed, vetted, and showered with lots of love in her foster home. She has the most beautiful and unique oreo/ tuxie coat for a persian kitten, and such a lovergirl personality. She is a calm companion, on the smaller side, and filled with lots of playful energy when its toy time. She would prefer a quieter home, but adapts well to all environments. To schedule a meet and greet, please submit one of our quick adoption applications found here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/KNC/Cat As a specialized breed, she requires EXTRA attention in the preventative health and grooming sector, and would do best in a household that already has experience with the persian cat breed OR a household willing to do the work in raising the breed.

Story
My mom looks exactly like the Persian cat on the fancy feast commercial. Mom said she was not sure who my dad was, but we decided not to go on the Maury show. I have the chill personality of my mom, but I can play, and I am a great soccer player. Must have got it from my dad. I love to love my favorite human and I am one very handsome guy that is super affectionate! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 23, 2023, 12:05 am

Story
Debbie is an easy cat to welcome into your home, she is skittish at first and may hiss and hide when meeting new friends, but once she’s comfortable, she loves to be scratched and petted and cuddles in your lap. She has a cat friend and a dog friend in her current home and is great with kids. She’s known to sneak out the door to enjoy her local surroundings, but is a mainly indoor cat.
