Wednesday came to Paw Parent with her brother Jagger. They were found by the police abandoned in an apartment after their people had gotten evicted.

They are only about a year old and so gorgeous with their golden eyes and luscious coats. it would be great if they could find a home together but it is not a must.

10. Hermione
Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tortoiseshell / Mixed (short coat) · 25 mi from Castaic


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.
Read more about Hermione
She’s a great fit for families with kids who want an active, engaged companion, or really anyone who wants a cat that actually does stuff. She’ll warm up to new people within a day, and while a crowd might send her under the bed temporarily, she always comes back out.
Comes with: spay, vaccines, and microchip. If adopted with her sister Winky, her foster family will include an automated litter box, water bowl, and food dispenser.
A note on the sisters: Hermione and Winky can be adopted together or separately — they coexist happily and play together occasionally, but they’re also independent enough to thrive on their own. Two very different cats, both completely wonderful.

11. Winky
Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tortoiseshell / Mixed (short coat) · 25 mi from Castaic


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.

She may take an hour or two to warm up to new faces, but once she does, she’s yours.
Comes with: spay, vaccines, and microchip. If adopted with her sister Hermione, her foster family will include an automated litter box, water bowl, and food dispenser.

Meet Mallow Marsh!
This dreamy little cloud is a medium-haired Siamese mix -- and undeniably adorable!
Found alone on the streets at far too young an age, Mallow Marsh is now safe and ready to trade life outdoors for a loving forever home.

Meet Mary-Kate & Ashley
Mary-Kate and Ashley are beautiful young tabby twins who were rescued from a high-kill shelter with mere moments to spare. Their lives nearly ended before they had truly begun—but thankfully, they made it out just in time and are now ready to find the loving forever home they deserve.
These bonded sisters are gentle, affectionate, and wonderfully mellow. They enjoy playing and exploring together, but they aren’t wild or chaotic kittens. Their calm, easygoing personalities make them lovely companions, and they would do well in a peaceful home with adults or respectful children.

Mary-Kate and Ashley have already faced uncertainty together, and their bond has been their source of comfort and security. Whether they are playing, relaxing, or curled up side by side, it’s clear that they belong together and must be adopted as a pair.
They came within moments of losing everything. Now they’re hoping someone will give them the one thing they’ve never had: a safe, loving home where they can stay together forever.

Meet Blondie
Blondie knew there had to be a better life waiting for him—and he was determined to find it.
This handsome 5- to 6-month-old orange tabby appeared in someone’s yard one day and simply refused to leave. He seemed to know that safety, love, and a warm home were just on the other side of that door—and he wanted in!

Thankfully, Blondie chose the right yard and found someone willing to help him leave his life as a stray behind. Now he is ready to trade the uncertainty of the outdoors for everything he has been dreaming of: a family of his own, a cozy place to sleep, plenty of affection, and the security of knowing he will never have to fend for himself again.

19. Carmen
Adult · Female · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 28 mi from Castaic







Meet Carmen
Carmen first came to us after being abandoned in a duffel bag alongside two different litters of kittens. Still little more than a kitten herself, she raised every one of her babies with patience, devotion, and quiet strength. After giving so much of herself, it should finally be Carmen’s turn to be someone’s whole world.
Read more about Carmen
Sadly, Carmen has been returned to us again. She has now experienced the heartbreak of losing several homes—not because she isn’t loving, but because none of them proved to be the right lifelong fit. This time, we are determined to find someone who truly understands her and is committed to giving her the stability she deserves.
According to her original foster, Carmen is “one of the most loving and affectionate cats she has ever known.” When Carmen feels safe and has a space to call her own, her personality blossoms. She seeks out attention and happily soaks up pets, affection, and companionship. She may not enjoy being picked up, but once you understand and respect her preferences, her love is incredibly genuine and rewarding.
Carmen’s most recent adopter reported some incidents of biting sock-covered feet, as well as grabbing, biting, and wrestling with arms or legs when she became overstimulated. We believe these behaviors may have been related to overzealous play, overstimulation, or redirected energy or aggression—not a lack of affection or an inherently aggressive temperament. They do not erase the deeply loving cat her fosters and volunteers know her to be, but they do mean Carmen needs a calm, patient, cat-savvy person who can recognize her signals, redirect her energy appropriately, respect her boundaries, and give her space when she needs it.
While other cats are not Carmen’s favorite thing, she has peacefully coexisted with cats at the adoption center. We believe she would be happiest as the only cat in her home, where she can relax and enjoy having her person and her space to herself. However, a home with another calm, respectful cat may be considered if the environment and personalities are truly the right fit.
She has also lived peacefully with a calm senior dog who largely ignored her, so she may do well with a similarly quiet, respectful dog who won’t pressure her to interact.
Carmen may not be the right cat for every household—but for the right person, she could be everything. She loves deeply, in her own language and on her own terms, and there is something incredibly special about earning the trust of a cat like her.
After surviving abandonment, raising two litters, and repeatedly losing the homes she thought were forever, Carmen deserves stability. She deserves to be chosen with intention, understood for exactly who she is, and loved for the rest of her life.
She deserves to finally come home.

20. Cal
Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 28 mi from Castaic




Calypso “Cal”
Meet Cal — a sweet orange tabby with the gentlest soul and, somehow, the patience of a saint.
Cal has been returned twice, alongside his sister, and not because of anything either of them did wrong. His first adoption ended after a major health scare made it clear that his adopter simply wasn’t able to provide the care they needed. His second adopter promised it would be forever — but apparently a new job and a new boyfriend were enough to change those plans. And once again, Cal and his sister were the ones left packing their bags.
Read more about Cal
They deserve so much better. They deserve a home where they are cherished, celebrated, and loved for the incredible cats they are — not treated as disposable when life changes.
Cal is an absolute sweetheart. He’s affectionate, intelligent, gentle, and wonderfully even-tempered. And despite being an orange boy, he manages to keep his orange-boy antics to a minimum. He’s easygoing, social, and just an all-around fantastic guy.
This little lad came from a LARGE brood, born to an amazing mama named Meadow, who did an incredible job raising her babies to be the very best kittens around. Cal loves to play with everyone and is happiest when he gets to be part of the action. He’s the kind of cat who makes life better simply by being in it.
After everything he’s been through, Cal is still sweet. Still trusting. Still ready to love.
Now he just needs someone who will finally make good on the word forever. ❤️
Cal is looking for a loving, committed forever home — one that will stick with him through life’s changes and celebrate him for the wonderful cat he is.
Name: Calypso “Cal”
Personality: Gentle, affectionate, intelligent, playful & easygoing
Looking for: A true forever home
Because Cal shouldn’t have to wonder if he’s finally home. He should know.

Adopting a cat in Castaic
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
