Story
This little girl's picture totally does not show her beautiful, exotic self!  She panther slilm and has a long, long tail.  She is a bundle of play and energy.  Only thing is, you must have another kitty for her to romp and get crazy with or TAG - you're it and you must be a seriously veteran cat person to get pummeled and enjoy it!September 19, 2024, 12:18 am

Story
Callie is a tortie born in 2019. Shes very sweet, a little shy, but very affectionate once she opens up. She very much likes peoplewatching, one of her favorite activities is watching my dad work on his hobbies. She loves cuddling, especially on cold nights. She also loves laserpointers and watching TV! For some context, she is one of many cats I and my family are currently trying to rehome. My late mother had an unfortunate habit of taking on any cat she could in her last few years. We are downsizing and cannot afford to care for all of them anymore, however dearly we care for them. Please contact for more details

Story
Located in Van Nuys. Meet Sgaeyl! I am a 7-month-old American short hair tabby that looks exactly like a miniature clouded leopard. I am the sweetest girl you could ever hope to find. I do not know how to sit still for love! I will wander back and forth and roll all over your lap while you pet every part of me. I especially love tummy rubs! I love to play and would do well in a house of any kind. I’d be great as a solitary animal, with any other kind of animal or children. I’m food and love motivated and cannot wait to find my forever home! Sgaeyl has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, flea treated, and vetted.

Story
Samantha needs a home!   This poor girl was brought to the east valley shelter on June 27, 2025, as a stray. The person who turned her in was feeding her outside as a community cat.  She said Samantha didn't eat for 7 days!  Life on the streets is no place for a cat!  She is estimated to be 12 year old; that's pretty good for a street cat!  At the shelter she only likes salmon sheba food.  The shelter put out an alert for her at the end of July. We said if no other rescue took her, we would. No other rescue stepped up to help her. She lucked out and we rescued her on August 5, 2025. After a day or two of settling in, Samantha ate everything we put in front of her!  Her bloodwork came back better than it was at the shelter.  There is nothing medically wrong with  this cat now.  Perhaps, she just wanted off the streets and a hunger strike was the way to go!  She loves attention and purrs the moment you start petting her.  She purrs non-stop making it difficult to believe she was actually an unsocial outside cat. She may have lived outside, but she was social! We would love to find her a forever home so we will have the space to save another deadline or hospice cat from the shelter!  ##2664000##
