Story
My previous pet died about a year ago. I adopted him a couple months after, from a couple living in Long Beach. They could no longer keep him due to moving in an apartment with a strict no pets rule. I believe he is nearing 4 years old now. I’m looking for anyone who can take care of him, single or family, as I can no longer keep up with the costs anymore. Tyga is very clingy, needs a lot of attention. Loves to lay on chests. Can be a little shy/ awkward and stand off ish at first but once he gets to know you he will happily run to you so he can sleep on your chest. That’s his favorite place to be. Whenever I get home that’s where he goes. He loves all the attention.

Story
His name is Ramires, but he also answers to Michupichu and Negro. He is an indoor cat, since I got him at 3 months he became an indoor cat and it was difficult because he was used to the outside, still, I managed to make him an indoor again. The problem is that he is very anxious and gets easily stressed by anything. My grandpa is the main problem here because he always scares him and makes him anxious by screaming at him, he also was the one who kicked him out of the house multiple times and got him used to being an outside cat. Every time he kicked him out, the cat would get stressed and his skin gets really really dry and starts getting pimples and scabs which he always licks and scratch, making it an infection at some point. Right now he has that, and I took him to the vet to start with his treatment, but because he got used to the outside he will always escape and I can’t keep up with his treatment like that, I need someone to get him used to again to be inside and keep treating h

Story
Queenie was adopted at 8 weeks from Long Beach animal shelter. She is very calm, quiet and reserved. She would be best in a single cat home as she is anxious around other animals. She doesn't scratch furniture and loves her treats. She sleeps by your side, but prefers a solitary existence. A great companion, but no longer a good fit with our other animals. We want her to be happy and not scared all the time.

Story
Georgie is a sweet cat. She gets along with our two older cats, but not our younger 1 yr old cat. The younger cat stresses her out. She is an indoor outdoor cat. Georgie is very good at catching mice and rats outside. She is on a natural probiotic which she does not mind taking orally with syringe. She loves to snuggle with adults. She would be great as an only cat or with older cats; great at keeping the rodent population down!

Story
I adopted Mika when he was just a kitten off of craigslist. He is very affectionate and loves to cuddle at night. He is very shy at first, but once he starts to see you more, he we will open up. He loves the attention and craves all the pets and snuggles. He is about 8 years old now and still has the energy of a kitten. Mika wants to be an outdoorsy cat but I have always kept him inside and on occasion he will attempt to run out to explore.

Story
We found Murphy as a kitten underneath a car and only planned on taking care of him until he was able to be neutered. We ended up keeping him a little longer, but we have 2 other cats already and our apartment is not big enough for 3 cats. I think he would be best in a household where he is the only cat. He still has quite a bit of energy since he is still young. He is very sweet and will snuggle up on your chest, but he might just need a little bit to warm up to you. He does seem to be afraid of men. He is updated on all his shots, is litter box trained, and he does not scratch on our furniture. He sometimes jumps on the counter, but stops once we tell him no. We are willing to have you meet him beforehand!

Story
My name is Audrey, like Hepburn, and I’m a 7-year-old loaf. I love to snuggle right up next to you and chin scritches are my absolute favorite! About a year ago, my humans brought a stupid, smelly, dumb puppy into my house and I can’t stand her. My humans have tried SO many things to help the adjustment period, but it just won’t work! The other cat in the house doesn’t seem to mind the dog, but I just can’t stand it >:( I have a lot of love to give, just not to any good-for-nothing dog! My humans really want what’s best for me and for me to be able to live a calm and happy life; so we are looking for a warm, understanding, dog-free, human home for me (chin scritches required). Let us know if you’ve got a good home for me :)
