Story
We adopted Chanel from a shelter here in Carson, California. I still have the adoption papers. She is 3 years old I think. She has been spayed. Is a chubby cat and likes to eat. We adopted her almost 2 years ago, but my daughter is leaving town for college far away and we are too busy to take care of the cat. Because we want Chanel to go to a good home, we are offering $200 CASH incentive to prospective adopters.

Story
Brownie (F, tortoiseshell, short hair) was rescued from a residential area in West Torrance in July 2022. Born in May 2022, she is spayed and vaccinated. We prefer for her to go to a home with another cat, as she loves sleeping with our resident adult cat. She is shy around humans and runs from reaching hands, so the best way to approach her is when she is cuddling with another cat. Brownie loves to nap with her sister and cozies up to our older resident cats for grooming. She enjoys being in the same room as her humans, though she avoids reaching hands and doesn't enjoy being picked up. She takes a couple of pets if she's already lounging, but she doesn't enjoy being petted for long. We're confident with patience and time to build trust, Brownie will be a loyal cat in your home. Compared to her sister, she goes harder than her sister for feather toys, and is the loudest meower at meal times. You can learn more about Brownie at: instagram.com/rosiesacademy/

Story
Muffin (F, tan tabby, short hair) was rescued from a residential area in West Torrance in July 2022. Born in May 2022, she is spayed and vaccinated and ready for their forever home. Muffin, as seen with her sister Brownie, are being fostered in a home with young children and adult cats, so they are great with both. We prefer her to go to a home with another cat, as she loves sleeping and wrestling with our resident adult cat. She is initially shy around humans and runs from reaching hands, but she purrs for pets if you approach her while she's lounging. Muffin has a nightly cuddle appointment with her favorite human in the house, where she sits on our chest while we're at our desks. When she's feeling generous, she'll shuffle between her #1 and #2 human in the house for cuddles and pets. While Muffin has tested FIV+, she is healthy and happy with no symptoms while living with our FIV- cats. You can learn more about Muffin at: instagram.com/rosiesacademy/

Simba was found by a Good Samaritan the day he was born, 8/28/2021, but left by his Mom most likely when she was moving them to a safer place. He has really thrived and loved his bottle! He is very loving and is ready for his forever home.

Story
Roxy and Gizmo are an absolutely gorgeous brother and sister who were adopted as a comfort pets during Covid as a bonded pair. Roxy is a very clever cat who gives lots of love. Gizmo is shy at first and likes to hide until he is comfortable with those around him, but he likes to snuggle and have his belly rubbed. They are indoor cats who love to sit on the windowsill to watch the outdoor action. We have recently learned that our daughter, their main caretaker, is highly allergic to cat dander. We are sad to part with them and looking for a loving home.

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.

She is timid at first, but sweet and friendly wants to get to know her.. well when she gets to know you. She likes to play ball and she is definitely a mom figure to other cats. Sadly, I have to move and cannot take my cats with me.

Story
Ash is a rescue cat I adopted when he was only 8 weeks old. He turned 4 in March 2024. He absolutely loves all people and children. He’s playful and snuggly and loves being close to you. When he was 2 he developed bladder crystals and with the help from the vet he now has proper care for this condition and has not had a flair up in 2 years. He eats prescription food that keeps him in perfect health. He tolerates grooming, nail clipping, and taking pills very well. Ash is very aggressive with other cats. He cannot live in a household with other animals. This is my reason for rehousing Ash. He is the perfect cat for a family or anyone who only wishes to have one animal. He is indoor only and very loved but I am no longer the right home for him because I now live with another cat. If you’re looking for a cat who is silly, sweet, and loves to snuggle, you will fall in love with Ash. He had a recent dental cleaning, and vet visit and is in good health.
