Story
MEET MR SPECKLES! Approximately one year old male and such a sweetheart. Speckles is fully vetted, neutered and given flea meds. He is socialized and is fostered in a house with dogs, cats and small children. He is an alpha with a funny personality who loves to play but then snuggles for love and cuddles. The ultimate lover. He gets along with everyone! His favorite toy is his ball and he chases it in and out of the cat tunnel with his mates. He will thrive in a home with other cats or solo. He is very cuddly and likes to sleep at the foot of the bed. He kneads and purrs and is just a lovely companion. He would be fantastic with a family or just someone who wants a furry friend. Mr Speckles will need to be microchipped.

**Courtesy Listing** Contact for more info: Aanis Misallati, (213)905-2077, aanismisallati@gmail.com NOTE: April and May are bonded and need to be adopted together. 1-year-old April is sensitive, shy, and very affectionate towards her bonded cat friend 'May'. April is completely litter box trained, and LOVES the scratching post. April is content to sleep all day, and sit on the window sill to look outside. April is not a picky eater and likes every kind wet food. May is bonded to April and they can be seen cuddling and grooming each other. As a bonded pair, April and May will keep each other company and entertained. April and May should be adopted together ideally, as they are from the same colony of outdoor community cats from Garden Grove.

Story
Kitten Paws was found wandering in Laguna Woods Village. He's gone unclaimed, so we're looking for a forever home for him. Paws is a handsome youngster. This mostly black boy has white under his chin and on all four paws. His short fur shines. He looks at you with large yellowish eyes. The vet estimates Paws to be 6 months old, and he's healthy. He's had his first rounds of kitten shots and was neutered recently. He's growing well and using his litter box perfectly. Like good kittens everywhere, Paws enjoys catnip toys and cardboard boxes. He's an athletic player and chaser. Paws is friendly and enjoys petting and playing with people, but he's not comfortable with other cats. He will need to be an only cat. Paws is ready for visitors! Please contact Judy Myton at 612-425-6125 or judymyton@gmail.com. You won't be sorry!

Story
Max and Katie are 13-year-old littermates, and a bonded pair. They have always been together and need to stay together in a new forever home. This pair were the pampered pets of a longtime resident who has had to move into memory care. Max is darker and has tabby stripes; Katie is more tortie with some warm brown in her soft fur. Both have large greenish eyes. Vet-checked and healthy, Max and Katie have been through a lot of changes, and depend on each other. They groom each other. Katie is more shy, and in stressful situations it seems to calm her to have Max nearby. Max and Katie like petting and grooming attention from people too. Both will roll over for a nice tummy rub. Max and Katie are good laid-back cats who don't get into mischief. They're not interested in jumping on things. They both love their catnip scratcher boxes. Katie is a talker and she often chatters to herself or to her foster. They seem content to hang out, relax, and nap, which makes them easy pets to care for and love. To meet Max and Katie, text Gina Hall at 949-330-0892. To meet Max and Katie, text Gina Hall at 949-330-0892. You'll be happy you did!

WANDERING YOUNGSTER Meet Belle, a gray and white kitten found wandering in Laguna Woods Village. A resident found her, scared and hungry, in a carport and was able to befriend her. Now we're helping her find her forever home. Belle is about 6 months old. She's been vet-checked, has been spayed, and is current on her shots. She can be shy at first, but is warming to the inside life. She's adjusting well to her foster home and growing into a lovely cat girl. This playful kitty has plenty of love to give and will make a wonderful feline friend. If you would like to meet Belle, contact Lonnie Painter at 949-533-7947.

Story
SIS-AND-BRO COMBO Josie and Jake are 3-year-old sibling cats who need a new home. They've always been together and need to be adopted together. Both cats have gleaming black fur. Josie is almost all black with some white under her chin. See them in their video short. The pair have been vet-checked and are current on shots. Their favorite human passed away recently, so they've been through some stress. Josie is a little shy, and takes her time to warm to people. Jake and Josie have settled in quickly with their foster. Both do enjoy petting attention. Josie was a lap cat with her previous owner so in time she might be again. To meet this sis-and-bro combo, contact Carolyn Maxwell, 949-742-0066 or maxwell.carolyn1@gmail.com .

SIS-AND-BRO COMBO Josie and Jake are 3-year-old sibling cats who need a new home. They've always been together and need to be adopted together. Both cats have gleaming black fur. Josie is almost all black with some white under her chin, while Jake is tuxedo black and white with bright white whiskers to go along with his greenish eyes. See them in their video short. The pair have been vet-checked and are current on shots. Their favorite human passed away recently, so they've been through some stress. Josie is a little shy, and takes her time to warm to people.

Story
Kuro was found just outside of our old home, abandoned by his mom. When we found him in July 2019, he was only few weeks old and we decided to welcome him as part of our family. Kuro is little shy, but very sweet cat. He is also very healthy and never had any issues. We had great 5 years together, but now that we have a newborn baby, it got little too hard to take care of the baby and Kuro. That’s why we are looking for a new home for him. Please contact us for any questions. Happy to answer them as soon as we can.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meko is a sweet boy who is shy at first and needs some time to warm up. If there’s a lot going on, he will find a quiet spot away from the action to catch some shut eye.  He has a luxuriously soft black coat, with a small white patch on his chest. He gets along with other friendly cats & dogs, but would do best in a quieter home.  Meko is very food motivated and will be looking out for mealtimes, but he won’t yell at you like some other cats do if you’re a couple minutes late. He might start eating out of the can though if you don’t spoon out the wet food fast enough. He’s a gentle kitty and would love a quiet and cozy home of his own.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. MINI PANTHER ALERT! This is Miss Mousse and she is the shyest of the  French Sweeties litter but she is the most tender and loving little girl ever. She absolutely stressed out and will hide if you chase her, but for the worthy special few who sit patiently near her with a soft fluffy blanket, you will be greatly rewarded with lap naps, a hefty dose of purring, some air biscuits, a proper display of all of her black velvety toe beans and, if you are lucky, very lucky, you will be delighted to see the piece de resistance, the ever elusive, peek of her pretty pink tongue! She needs a quiet home, sheltered from loud people who feel the need to chase her or pick her up but rather the one who knows with trust the joys of love from a more discerning, refined, reserved kitten.  Apply www.Dreamar.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 7, 2024, 3:29 pm
