* COURTESY POST FOR INDEPENDENT ADOPTER:

Zelena is one of the lucky ones that gets a chance at a life in a loving home, off the streets. She is not as boisterous as her siblings. She is a little bit on the shy side and is playing with people daily to build her confidence. She loves her hammocks and wand toys. She is so beautiful and such a sweet soul. She needs a quiet home that will be a little more patient with her so she can come around at her own pace. She will make you a wonderful friend and companion!

Montgomery, a male Tabby kitten up for adoption

* Available in Shelter for Meet & Greet *
Montgomery is a sweet orange boy who has mastered the art of being playful, snuggly and just a little opinionated.
Montgomery loves people and is always happy to receive some attention. He’ll climb into a lap, settle in for cuddles and happily let you hold him while he takes in the world from a whole new vantage point. One volunteer even discovered that Montgomery makes an excellent slow-dance partner!
Of course, he is still very much a kitten. He enjoys wand toys, exploring his surroundings and finding something fun to do before settling in for his next nap.

Ralphie, a male Tabby kitten up for adoption

* In Foster Care * Meet & Greets by appointment. * Please submit an application online and well call to schedule! *
Ralphie has quite the rescue story, and an even better personality!
This handsome young boy was discovered in the Ralphs parking lot in Manhattan Beach during one of our October heat waves. The pavement was so hot that some of his little toe beans had suffered burns. Thankfully, a kindhearted stranger recognized he needed help, brought him somewhere safe, and began searching for someone who could give him a fresh start.
That's how Ralphie found his way to Peter Zippi, and yes, that's how he got his name!
Despite his rocky start, Ralphie is a remarkably confident and easygoing fellow.

5. Munji

Kitten · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 12 mi from Florence-Graham

* Available in Shelter for Meet & Greet *
Munji is a handsome, confident boy with a big personality, an impressive floofy tail, and plenty to say.
He was found roaming a neighborhood and quickly made it clear that life with people is very familiar to him. He is affectionate, adaptable, talkative, and completely comfortable making himself at home.
Munji settled into foster care quickly and proved to be remarkably comfortable around people, including strangers. In fact, Munji has been known to flop onto his back and fall asleep belly-up not long after someone new walks through the door. Even the vacuum doesn’t faze him.

Wizard, a young male cat up for adoption

Wizard was born into a colony that just kept growing. Thankfully, a smart neighbor began helping TNR to stop the breeding and foster the babies. Wizard has had hands on from the beginning and is such a wonderful guy! He is silly, playful and social, not to mention beautiful with his long fur! He's a hit at adoptions with his 2 sisters who are also beautiful black fluffies. Come and meet Wizard to see if he's the one for you!

7. Willow

Young (7 months) · Female · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 19 mi from Florence-Graham

Willow, a young female cat up for adoption

Willow was born into a colony that was breeding out of control. The "owners" didn't realize how big of a problem not getting a few cats fixed could be or how fast they can multiply. A concerned neighbor approached them about TNR and helped them get the entire colony fixed and fostered the kittens. Willow is one of those lucky kittens who will know life off the streets!

Willow loves to hang on your arm and play with her siblings all day long. She's a hit at adoptions with her siblings and she is so super sweet. She loves to be doted on and is just a love to have around.

8. Princess Polly

Adult (2 years 1 month) · Female · Tabby (medium coat) · 19 mi from Florence-Graham

Princess Polly, an adult female Tabby cat up for adoption

** COURTESY POST FOR INDEPENDENT ADOPTER:

Princess Polly has already beaten the odds, and now she's ready for the happy ending she deserves.

Princess Polly is a petite, gentle girl. When she first appeared, she was severely emaciated, with her bones visibly protruding from starvation. We weren't sure she would survive, but this little fighter proved just how resilient she is. Thanks to lots of love, care, and good food, Princess Polly has made an incredible recovery and is now ready to find her forever home.

9. Jebediah

Adult (2 years 2 months) · Male · Tabby (short coat) · 19 mi from Florence-Graham

Jebediah, an adult male Tabby cat up for adoption

Jebediah is the absolutely sweetest boy who loves to snuggle, talk and give kisses. The ultimate loverboy, he is very gentle, food motivated and happy to be off the streets.

10. Marmont

Adult (1 year 1 month) · Male · Chartreux (short coat) · 19 mi from Florence-Graham

Marmont, an adult male Chartreux cat up for adoption

Meet Marmont, a breathtaking Chartreux mix with a heart as grand as his handsome frame. On the 4th of July, Marmont’s life changed forever when he was left abandoned in the bushes alongside an empty carrier and a few empty cat food cans. Terrified, unfixed, and severely underweight, this resilient boy mustered up all his courage and ran straight out of the bushes looking for human help. Since that fateful day, Marmont has been steadily gaining weight, gaining confidence, and discovering what it feels like to be truly safe and cherished.

11. Lucas

Adult (2 years 1 month) · Male · Tabby (short coat) · 19 mi from Florence-Graham

Lucas, an adult male Tabby cat up for adoption

Meet Lucas, a gentle, sweet soul looking for a quiet home where he can be showered with love and pets!

Lucas came to us after surviving a rough time outdoors with a severely injured, degloved tail that required amputation. Despite everything he’s been through, his gentle, sweet nature never wavered—he doesn't have a mean or aggressive bone in his body.
Lucas is fully recovered, resilient, and ready for a peaceful forever home where he can relax, enjoy his treats, and be your loyal lap companion.

12. Simba

Adult · Male · Snowshoe / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Florence-Graham

Simba, an adult male Snowshoe cat up for adoption

Watch Simba's video

* In Foster Care * Meet & Greets by appointment. * Please submit an application online and well call to schedule! *
Simba is a handsome, friendly boy with a confident personality and an independent streak.
He enjoys people and is absolutely social, but he does not need constant attention to feel secure. Simba is the kind of cat who appreciates companionship while also enjoying his own space and routine. He may be a great fit for someone who wants a friendly adult cat who is not attached at the hip.
In foster care, Simba has shown that he may prefer a calmer environment with fewer cats. He has been living in a busy foster home with multiple feline roommates and has handled many changes, but we think a quieter home may help him truly settle into his best self.
Simba and Alfie spend time together and could be considered as a pair, but Simba may also do well as a single cat with the right person.
Simba is currently being monitored for a stress-related urinary issue.

13. Alfie

Adult · Male · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Florence-Graham

Alfie, an adult male Tabby cat up for adoption

Watch Alfie's video

* In Foster Care * Meet & Greets by appointment. * Please submit an application online and well call to schedule! *
Alfie is a handsome, social boy with a curious spirit and plenty to say.
His foster describes him as wonderfully chatty, almost like you can have a conversation with him when he is in curious, exploratory mode. Alfie likes being near his people and being part of what is happening, but he is not overly demanding. He has a nice balance of social confidence and independence.
Alfie enjoys exploring, observing, and adding his own commentary along the way. He is the kind of cat who brings personality into a home without needing to be the center of attention every minute.
He has spent time with other cats and may do well with a compatible feline friend.

14. Kitten Abu

Kitten (2 months 21 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Florence-Graham

Kitten Abu, a female kitten up for adoption

Hi, my name is Abu. My three sibs and I were six weeks old when we were abandoned and left on a porch. We were brought to SBACC and Ariel. I went to one foster home, and our other sister and brother went to a different foster home. Ariel and I have become very attached to each other. We love to play and snuggle together and love our tunnels and Amazon boxes. We also enjoyed playing with the older cats in our foster home. A neighbor visited with her dogs a few times, and we were fine with them. We also did fine with little kids who visited. When tuckered out from playing, we enjoy long naps, then wake up and start playing again. We are cuddly lap cats, now ready for our forever homes, and we hope to stay together. We are together in three of the pics.

Ashley, a young female cat up for adoption

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.

21. Cal

Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 16 mi from Florence-Graham

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.

22. Stitch

Adult · Male · Tuxedo / Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 12 mi from Florence-Graham

Stitch, an adult male Tuxedo cat up for adoption

* Courtesy Posting. Please See Below for Contact and Meet & Greet Information. *
Stitch is a gorgeous 3½-year-old tuxedo boy with soft, medium-length fur and a wonderfully affectionate personality.
Stitch was bottle-fed from birth as part of a litter of six kittens, so he has known the comfort and companionship of people his entire life. He is healthy, neutered, current on his vaccinations, and loves both affection and playtime.
He currently lives with an older feline “brother” and gets along well with him. With a thoughtful introduction, Stitch may be a good match for a home with another friendly cat.

24. Sammy

Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 16 mi from Florence-Graham

Meet Sammy – The Big Brother

Sammy is proof that second chances can change everything.

He was rescued from a high-intake shelter just moments before he was scheduled to be euthanized. A tiny bottle baby without his mom, his future looked uncertain—but thanks to a dedicated foster family, he was given the chance to grow up safe, loved, and cherished.

As Sammy grew, he found himself taking on a new role: big brother. When another litter of orphaned bottle babies needed a family, Sammy welcomed them with open paws, growing up alongside them and showing them the ropes. He's been the patient, playful older sibling to this lively crew ever since.

27. Kitten Khalessi

Kitten (3 months 1 day) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Florence-Graham

Kitten Khalessi, a female kitten up for adoption

Hi, my name is Khaleesi. I was rescued from the street when I was about six weeks old. I was brought to SBACC, and the first thing noticed was that my hind legs were unstable. Nothing was abnormal in X-rays, so I was checked out by a neurologist who thought I might have a spinal injury, maybe a fracture that has healed and is causing some nerve compression. I walk kind of funny, and my hind legs will sometimes collapse under me, but that does not stop me from running around, climbing, and playing like any other kitten. I can even climb to the top of a tall cat tree. My foster home had two young children and a cat, and I played with all of them.

28. Rebel

Young (8 months) · Male · Tabby (short coat) · 19 mi from Florence-Graham

Rebel, a young male Tabby cat up for adoption

Rebel is a rambunctious little guy who was rescued from the streets of Fontana after being chased by a dog. He loves hard, plays hard and sleeps hard. He will need a buddy who can keep up with his energy level who is even-keel and up for playtime. He likes to snuggle and curl up in your lap when he's not doing zoomies or at the top of his cat tree surveying the dangers that lurk below in his play world.

Adopting a cat with children in Florence-Graham

Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.

Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.

Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
