Story
A volunteer was driving in Westminster and came across a cardboard box sitting underneath a parked truck with three kittens inside. A concerned neighbor had been feeding the kittens for a few weeks while trying to find them somewhere to go with no luck. He said the mother cat had been hit by a car a couple weeks earlier, and her kittens were left. All three kittens were out in the freezing, cold rain trying to fend for themselves. Unfortunately, this compassionate neighbor had too many animals to adopt them himself. Our vet confirmed they all had mites, mange, and giardia. All three issues have been successfully cured and Marco, Polo and Poly are ready to find new homes. Poly is a friendly and affectionate cat. He loves people, enjoys pets and cuddles. Poly is also unique in that all four of his paws are polydactyl. This means Poly has six or more toes on each paw, rather than the normal five toes. Cats with polydactyl paws have better balance because they have wider, larger paws allowing them to hunt and climb more efficiently. Another interesting item about polydactyl cats is that they were a favorite of Ernest Hemingway. Mr. Hemingway received a polydactyl feline from a ship’s captain by the name of Snow Ball and subsequently developed a true love for multi-toed cats. His home in Key West, Florida was transformed into a museum after this death and about half of the cats that reside there are polydactyl. Poly also has conjunctivitis from feline herpes virus (FHV-1) that is being treated with eye drops.FHV-1 is very common, in fact almost all cats are exposed to FHV-1 as kittens, either by their mother or by another cat. Up to 80% of cats develop a hidden (referred to as dormant or latent) infection and become carries of FHV-1 for life. In many cats, this causes no problems. But sometimes feline herpes returns occasionally throughout the cat's life, especially in times of illness or stress. Just as some people get repeated Herpes cold sores, some cats will repeatedly get corneal (eye) ulcers or have chronic (long term) sneezing or nasal congestion. Since Poly is still a kitten, his immune system is still growing. Our vet believes he may grow out of the symptoms especially if he is taken out of the high stress shelter environment. Poly is a special boy that really deserves a home! He’d love it even more if his brother Marco (his snuggle buddy) could come along! Please apply to adopt Poly 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 Poly and get to know him a bit.

Story
Greetings, potential adopters! I'm Orangethorpe, a charismatic cat with a coat as vibrant as a summer sunrise. Life's been a bit of an adventure for me, and now I'm on the lookout for that special someone who can appreciate the unique charm I bring to the table. I'm here to bring joy and companionship to the lucky human who decides to make me a part of their family. Curiosity is my middle name, and I love to investigate every nook and cranny. I'm dreaming of a home that matches my energy - a place where I can spend quality time with my human and revel in moments of quiet companionship. If you're someone who appreciates a cat that can keep you company and bring a smile to your face, we might just be the purr-fect match. I'm excited to meet my future best friend and create a home filled with love, laughter, and endless feline charm.

These pups are in Newport Beach, California too!

Story
Beautiful TICA cat show award winner!Royce is a big cat that is reminiscent of the breed Maine Coon. He is a very beautiful boy and has a sweet personality. He likes to be held and carried and near the one he loves. He has lived in multi-cat households and is a dominant male. A cat savvy pet-parent would be needed to introduyce him into another multi-cat family.  Since he is so very affectionate it would be nice for him to have a home without other cats so he could get all the attention. Royce was adopted from our organization when he was a kitten by a couple that showed Maine Coon cats. Sadly, the woman developed a severe respiratory disorder and had to give up all her show cats and Royce. That is why Royce has been shown at TICA cat shows and won two awards. He is available to be met in the caregivers home.       October 29, 2024, 7:02 am

Story
Independent & Exhibits Behaviors of Petting AggressionTallulah Gin aka Lula has enchanting vibrant green eyes. She is playful with interactive toys like the feather wand and she likes plastic lizard toys or wadded up paper balls. She likes comfy sofas and chairs and is a pretty lounge lizard. She is very furry and long hair and has unusual coloring with charcoal / black long hair and yet with slight calico markings. She is professionally groomed every month or she would become matted and will need a sanitary clip on her behind. She is a gorgeous cat and many people inquire without fully reading her bio here, which discloses her reactive behavior that can be managed. Tallulah Gin isn't at risk of losing her home. Her family are responsible pet owners and she will continue living in the home where she was raised until a home that would love her and accept her idiosyncrasies can be found.   The Backstory: Tallulah Gin's owners are responsible pet owners who simply wish they had an affectionate cat that wanted to be part of the family. Yet, quite the opposite is Lula with a spirit of independence that can be intermittently reactive to touch and scratch. The grandkids are afraid of Lula because she will go after them. Their desire to have a kitty that would be affectionate part of the family led the couple to adopt a pair of bottle-fed kittens that were affectionate and cuddly and kittens were just what the family had hoped for, but Lula got after them and the pair of cats then became unhappy.   The kittens experienced stresses in the home that were caused by Lula and the stress caused both cats to have urinary infections, which ultimately led to both having urinary blockages at different times and both had emergency surgeries and neither survived.    Tallulah Gin is not at risk of losing her home, she is very happy and her family is responsible, but has been hoping that just the right person would just love to adopt her.   Lula has been evaluated by Dr. Elaine Wexler-Mitchell, a vet board certified in felines and Lula does "NOT" have feline hyperesthesia which is a condition that would cause reactive behavior to touch by the brain interpreting touch as a shockwave. Certain breeds like, Burmese, Siamese, Persian and Abyssinian cats are more susceptible to the syndrome.  The family has seen some improvement giving calming supplements and can give her a pat here and there, but she doesn't normally warm up to strangers that are potential adopters. Medication rather than calming aids is another option.  We understand that people react to Tallulah Gin's beauty like on a dating website, "Swipe Right" without reading her bio and we're hoping that continued inquiries will lead to the perfect person appearing.   In the meantime, and while in waiting, Lula enjoys life in Newport Beach, on a small island off the Newport Beach Peninsula, where most people dream of living, in a bayfront home hearing the relaxing sound of the sailboats ropes softly clicking as she lays undisturbed by people passing by as she pears out the large bay window.   PETTING AGGRESSION: While many cats have varying degrees of petting aggression by letting their owners know when to touch them and where they like being touched, Lula is reactive intermittently and that can make people fearful. Petting aggression is manageable by respecting the cat's boundaries and developing a bonded relationship where petting is allowed based on trust and not petting the cat in the same place over and over, or learning when a cat isn't in the mood. Learning the body language of cats can tell you when they are becoming disturbed and stop petting. Or avoid those areas all together. When a cat strikes after being petted 5 times, pet less and learn what the cat enjoys.  Many cats when first rescued may exhibit behaviors that are simply reactive to uncertainty. They may show more frequent signs of petting aggression because they have not been petted in a long while and the stimulation is too much for them.  Any being that has experienced trauma needs time to adjust and feel safe. A cat that has developed a bond with a human may no longer exhibit the extreme behaviors that accompany petting aggression. Overstimulation by petting the same area causes most petting aggression. A rescue cat that hasn't been petted for a while can just feel over whelmed by touch. A back scratcher is a good tool to build trust and bond with any cat. It allows the cat to experience pleasure and for the pet-parent to learn what feels good to the cat. But of course, it is after the cat feels comfortable with you.   IF YOU HAVE INTEREST IN TALLULAH GIN: She is not the kind of cat for a first-time pet owner or anyone with children in the home, or that would visit. Please tell us about yourself and any experience you may have had with cats. A stable home would be important for the potential adopter to have with at least three years in the residence and not to be considering a move or transferring with a job. Being that Lula has been spoiled with a wonderful view and likes her independence she should have an environment similar to what she has been accustomed to. The kind of home believed to offer Lula happiness would have a calm environment, enough space for her to feel her independence with a large window to view birds or trees to keep her mind active.  Community Animal Network, a non-profit organization founded by DiAnna Pfaff-Martin in 1996.
