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!

Story
I adopted him a year ago, he is a September baby. Basboos is an Arabic name for kitty, or even a sweet depending on the dialect. He responds to his name!! He is the absolute most friendly cat ever, he loves everyone and everybody. He likes playing and wants to be a lap cat. He likes to go to the yard and play, he will catch insects and anything he can. He loves being indoors and out. Will have no problem taking a walk I think. He has cat friends in the neighborhood! Very sweet and only likes to eat if you’re around though. My kids and I are still allergic a year later, we have elderly coming to live with us and won’t be able to keep him. He is potty trained. He has a microchip but it needs to be renewed. He needs vaccines. He loves to meow and I swear you can hear him say mom or hello at times. He’s a funny cat. He loves sitting in plastic bags and holding toys or socks in his mouth and walking around. It’s so adorable. Please take good care of him! He thinks he’s a little baby.

Story
The cat family was raised in a private homeI’M DAISY THE MOST LOVED KITTEN. Everyone tells me that I am their favorite and so I know that I am cute being black and white with my black mustache that everyone comments on! I like to be the center of attention and I’m a big hit on Zoom calls! People are always asking to adopt just me, but I love my sister Java and want to a home that would love us both! My sister Java lets me be the boss and I like that! But I’m not just a great looking kitten. I just want to love everyone! I’m always the first to run up to people and get my belly rubbed. I like to explore and pretend to hunt my sister and then we play chase. My sister Java is very special to me and I would like us to grow up together! The two of us lay on top of the cat tree and hang over the edge and snooze. If my sister is still sleeping and can’t play then I chase my tail and then I will play with my toys. I am looking for us to be adopted by a person that makes the time to take care of us just right! I’m a very clean kitten and I am fastidious about having a clean box.  If you rub my tummy then I will be your best friend always and I will adore you! For more info, call or text DiAnna at 949-759-3646 or email at DiAnna@animalnetwork.org.
