Story
Acquired at Asap cats in Sept. 2024. Noodle is 3 years old on Sept 1st, 2025. Playful, energetic, and curious kitty! Would prefer home with outdoor exploring space, (catio, supervised outside time, wearable tracking device). Not a fan of cats or kids, unsure about dogs, afraid and growing. Has had problems with marking and peeing with new visitors. Needs work, tried two different daily medications. Particularly on beds and floor mats, couches and blankets. Needs lots of interaction and play time, yearns for the outdoors! She eats wet and dry food in a slow feeder, will protest by hunger strike. Early bird, loves to cuddle at night! Enjoys cat beds in secluded spaces, cat towers by the window, and litter box trained. Knows “sit” and “come” mostly when bribed(can be trained). 10lbs, responds to “Noodle”. Expressive and likes snacks! Has a sensitive stomach, eats weruva just fine, slowly introduce new foods if needed. Monitor dry food. She really is the sweetest kitty we just cannot keep.

We took in a pregnant stray mama and have been trying to find homes for her babies! We’ve successfully found homes for four out of her six babies and we hope Panther will be next! He’s 8 months, very sweet and doesn’t bite or scratch. He’s very good with other cats and with dogs! He loves to be pet on the head and likes to snuggle! He likes sleeping and playing with his toys.

Story
Bailey is an 11-year-old male American Shorthair with a thoughtful, observant nature. He takes time to warm up but enjoys being near people once he feels safe; then, his affectionate side shines through for a lucky few. Timid yet gentle, Bailey also has a playful streak and enjoys toys he can chase. He would do best in a quiet home with someone who has prior experience with cats. Unfortunately, he doesn't do well with other pets, and hasn't been around kids which is why I'm looking to rehome him. In the right environment, Bailey is an incredibly lovable companion.

Story
Malina is a gentle young tortoiseshell with striking butterscotch and black “catwalk camouflage.” Playful yet mellow, she enjoys romping with her kitty friends but also cherishes quiet time curled up on a cat tree. A bit shy and cautious at first, Malina warms up with patience and loves gentle petting. She’s happiest being near you rather than on your lap, and shows her affection with soft purrs, quiet morning greetings, and gentle love blinks.

Story
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
