Beautiful Clover has the most gorgeous green eyes, but right now she's feeling a little overwhelmed by shelter life. ❤️

22. Hermione

Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tortoiseshell / Mixed (short coat) · 23 mi from Arcadia

Hermione, an adult female cat up for adoption

HERMIONE
2-year-old tortoiseshell • Spayed • Vaccinated • Microchipped
Hermione is a tortie on a mission — and that mission is fetch. Laser pointer? She’s on it. Wand toy? Don’t even think about putting it down. She brings the energy, the athleticism, and the absolute conviction that playtime should last longer. She’s the cat who will remind you it’s time to play, and you’ll be glad she did.

But here’s the thing about Hermione: when the day is done, she’s done too — and she wants to cuddle. She’s affectionate, fun, and endlessly entertaining, the kind of cat that fills a home with personality.

23. Winky

Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tortoiseshell / Mixed (short coat) · 23 mi from Arcadia

Winky, an adult female cat up for adoption

WINKY
2-year-old tortoiseshell • Spayed • Vaccinated • Microchipped
Winky is the cat you didn’t know you needed — the one who picks your lap and never leaves. This sweet, calm tortie girl is all about cozy vibes: slow mornings, afternoon snuggles, and being thoroughly pet while you watch TV. She doesn’t bite, scratch, or hiss. She just purrs.
She’s a low-drama kitty who thrives in a peaceful home. Got a quiet apartment? A couple who works from home? A teen who wants a chill companion? Winky will fit right in. She does best with adults or older kids who appreciate a lap cat over a playmate — she’s not one for chaos, but if the energy is calm, she’ll be right there asking for treats and chin scratches.
A couple of things to know: Winky likes a tidy litter box area — keep the mat in front clean and she’s perfectly reliable.

Why adopt an adult cat in Arcadia

An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.

Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
