1. Sox
#A5806165 Sox
Look at this adorable little face!
Sox is a tiny grey kitten with the cutest white blaze on the chest and little white paws.
At just eight weeks old, Sox is understandably a little frightened in the shelter. There was some hissing at first, but once one of our volunteers held this little baby and helped them settle, Sox started purring and then it was time to play!
-Domestic Shorthair — Grey with white blaze and paws
-8 weeks old
-Weighs 2.13 pounds
-Female
-Owner surrender — reportedly too many animals
-Spay pending
Underneath that tiny nervous exterior is a gorgeous, playful kitten who just needs a little reassurance.

#A5805412 Cupcake
Oh, those beautiful blue eyes!
Cupcake is a stunning Siamese girl with gorgeous point coloring and an equally lovely personality.
She was an absolute sweetheart during our visit. She loved playing, enjoyed being petted and was very easy to handle. Traveling isn't her favorite thing, but she really is such a good girl. ❤️
Cupcake arrived as a stray on October 11, and her stray hold ended October 15, so we're hoping she'll be available for adoption soon!

Beautiful Clover has the most gorgeous green eyes, but right now she's feeling a little overwhelmed by shelter life. ❤️
This sweet black-and-white girl was owner surrendered on October 9, and she's understandably a little frightened.

9. Axel
* Available in Shelter for Meet & Greet *
Axel is a sweet, affectionate boy with a playful streak and a serious appreciation for lap time.
He originally turned up at a tow yard in Hawthorne, where employees caring for a local feral cat colony quickly realized this handsome newcomer was anything but feral. Friendly from the start, Axel happily accepted attention and even made air biscuits while being held.
That easygoing personality has continued to shine. Axel loves people and is comfortable meeting strangers, both men and women. He is a complete cuddle bug who enjoys curling up in a lap, but he is equally enthusiastic when it is time to play.
Read more about Axel
Anything that moves has the potential to become an Axel-approved toy.
He is also bright, food motivated, and very trainable. In foster care, Axel quickly learned that counters were off limits and even cooperated for a little nail trim. He can occasionally be tempted to chew on paper, so important documents may want to keep their distance.
Axel also spent about a week living with a Yorkie and did well, showing that he can coexist comfortably with a small, respectful dog.
With his affectionate personality, playful nature, and willingness to learn, Axel should make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a cat who wants to be part of everyday life

12. Munji
* 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.
Read more about Munji
He’s more likely to chase it than run away from it.
He enjoys being near his people and likes to keep tabs on whatever is happening around the house. He’ll follow you from room to room and happily soak up attention.
Munji has a playful side and can get a little mouthy at times, but his bites have been gentle and he redirects well to toys. A little playtime goes a long way with this curious, social boy.
If you’re looking for a cat who wants to be part of your day without needing to be in your lap every minute, Munji may be your guy

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.

15. Princess Polly Pocket
** 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.
Read more about Princess Polly Pocket
Polly is the definition of a sweetheart. She absolutely adores wet food and never turns down mealtime. She's a quiet, easygoing couch potato who would much rather curl up beside you than cause any trouble. The moment you start petting her, she melts into a purring puddle of happiness.
One of Polly's favorite things in the world is being brushed. She could happily sit for hours soaking up the attention and affection. Her calm, loving personality makes her a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a gentle and devoted feline friend.
Princess Polly is deeply bonded with her friend Jebediah and takes great comfort in having another cat around. She would thrive in a home with Jebediah or with another friendly feline companion who can help her feel safe and loved.
After everything she's been through, Princess Polly deserves a life filled with soft couches, full bowls, gentle brushes, and endless love. If you're looking for a sweet, quiet companion with a heart as beautiful as her story, Princess Polly may be the perfect match.

17. Marmont
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.
Read more about Marmont
True to his Chartreux heritage, Marmont is an incredibly loyal, devoted companion who thrives on human connection. While Chartreux cats are famously known for their calm and gentle natures, Marmont adds his own charming twist: he is quite the vocal talker! He will happily follow you from room to room, narrating his day and ensuring he’s always right by your side. Given his background of starvation, it is no surprise that Marmont absolutely adores food and treats, though he remains wonderfully sweet and not food-aggressive in the slightest.
Marmont gets along well with other polite feline friends, but what he wants most in this world is his person. He craves human affection, loves interactive play, adores lounging on tall cat trees, and could spend hours blissfully sunbathing in a warm window. At night, he wants nothing more than to curl up and sleep right next to you. Marmont is still filling out his lush grey coat and sturdy frame, and he is going to be a wonderfully large, impressive boy once fully restored to health. We may not know the hardship of his past, but with your help, his future will be endlessly bright. Reach out to adopt Marmont today and give this deserving boy the forever promise that he will never be abandoned again.

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.

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.
Because Mallow Marsh is still a baby, adoption must be with another kitten or into a home that already has a friendly, playful young cat. Kittens need companionship as they grow—and this sweet little marshmallow deserves a best friend to cuddle and play with for life!

20. Simba
* 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.
Read more about Simba
Peter Zippi is working with our veterinary team and trying a low-dose medication plan to support him for now. It is very possible his needs may change once he is in a calmer home with fewer cats.
Friendly, confident, and quietly independent, Simba is ready for someone who will appreciate him for exactly who he is

* 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.
Read more about Alfie
He and Simba have also shown a nice connection and could be considered together, though Alfie is not dependent on another cat and may also do well as an individual companion.
Curious, conversational, and easy to enjoy, Alfie is a wonderful adult cat for someone who likes a cat with presence, charm, and a little running commentary

* Courtesy Posting. Please See Below for Contact and Meet & Greet Information. *
Mr. Peabody is a big, handsome 4-year-old all-white cat looking for a loving home of his own. He is a very friendly and affectionate cat who enjoys human company and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loving feline friend. His previous owner was no longer able to keep him because of a difficult housing situation.
Mr. Peabody would be happiest as your one and only feline companion, where he can enjoy all the attention and affection for himself.
Because of his beautiful white coat, Mr. Peabody must be an indoor-only cat to protect his sensitive white skin from sun damage and keep him safe and healthy.
Read more about Mr Peabody
And he has an extra-special feature you'll notice his beautiful one blue eye and one gold eye!
Mr. Peabody is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped and ready to find his forever home. If you're looking for a devoted companion who wants to be your one and only cat, Mr. Peabody may be the perfect match.

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.

This handsome tabby boy is about 7 months old and has come a long way since he was first found outdoors. After spending time in a home and learning that people are pretty wonderful, he has blossomed into an affectionate, social kitten who loves being part of the action.
He follows his people around the house, enjoys attention and has earned a reputation as a serious sweetheart. One of his particularly adorable habits is reaching out to “hold hands” with his people.
He also gets along well with other cats and enjoys playing with the cats in his foster home.

Their presence helped him gain confidence as he adjusted to indoor life. He could be a nice match for a home with another friendly cat, but he may also do well as the only cat with plenty of attention and companionship from his people.
He is neutered, has tested negative for FeLV/FIV and has received his first FVRCP vaccination. He will still need his remaining age-appropriate vaccinations.
This sweet boy has already made the transition from an uncertain outdoor kitten to a happy member of a household. Now he just needs a family of his own.

26. Blondie
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!
Read more about Blondie
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.
Blondie went looking for a better life. Could he find it with you?

28. Carmen
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.

29. Cal
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.

30. Tabitha
* In Foster Care * Meet & Greets by appointment. * Please submit an application online and well call to schedule! *
Tabitha is a sweet, affectionate girl with a gentle personality and a very loving heart.
She can be a little shy when something is new, but once she feels comfortable, she makes it very clear that she wants love. Tabitha enjoys pets, closeness, and quiet time with her people. Her foster says she will settle in nearby, ask for attention, and purr like she means it.
She is also a wonderful little communicator. Talk to Tabitha and she may meow right back, making her feel less like a cat in the room and more like a tiny companion keeping you company.
Tabitha would do beautifully with someone who appreciates a soft, affectionate adult cat and is willing to let her settle in at her own pace.
Read more about Tabitha
She coexists well with other cats, but she is not bonded and does not need to be adopted with another cat.
Loving, interactive, and full of quiet charm, Tabitha is the kind of cat who makes earning her trust feel extra special

Adopting a cat in Glendale
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.
