3. Mitzi
Adult (1 year) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 6 mi from Long Beach




Hi, my name is Mitzi. I am a very friendly girl, so I think I had a home once. I wandered into a yard, and the lady thought her dogs might hurt me, so she brought me to SBACC. I am a very active cat who still has lots of kitten energy. I love to run around, explore, and play. I am also talkative and will let you know when I want something. In addition to being friendly, I am affectionate and enyoy being held and cuddled. Some people might say I am the purrfect cat, so I expect to find my forever home very, very soon. And, BTW, I am also pretty cute.

4. Taylor
Adult (1 year) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 6 mi from Long Beach


Hi, my name is Taylor. I was left behind when my person moved, and I spent weeks hanging out in a backyard. She noticed something strange on my nose and was not sure whether it was an injury or an infection, but she did not want it to get worse, so she brought me to SBACC. The vet checked me out and even did a skin biopsy, which showed no parasitic infections, but they said I probably had flea or other insect bites. It is taking me a little while to get used to life at SBACC, and I am just starting to emerge from the cubby that I have been hiding in. I am a really friendly cat, and I like people and pets. I am not looking my best right now because of my nose injury, but it is starting to get better, and I know I will be looking great pretty soon. I am hoping for a forever home before the holidays.

5. Bella
Adult (5 years 2 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Calico / Mixed (medium coat) · 6 mi from Long Beach




Hi, my name is Bella. I was rescued from an overcrowded shelter and brought to SBACC. It was obvious that I was very pregnant, and I delivered six kittens in my foster home the very next day. Sadly, one of them did not survive, but the other five have grown into happy, healthy kittens and will soon be ready for their forever homes. I took very good care of my kittens, but I am now done with motherhood and ready to be loved and pampered in my own home. My foster Mom says that I am the sweetest cat you will ever meet. I am very vocal and love to chat with my people, always letting you know when I want attention. More than anything, I love curling up in your lap and soaking up all the cuddles I can get. If you are looking for a loving companion who wants to be by your side, I am the perfect lap cat and will happily keep you company every chance I get.

6. Lenore Dove
Adult (5 years) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 6 mi from Long Beach




Hi, my name is Lenore Dove, and I am a survivor. I had been abused, but luckily I was rescued and brought to SBACC. Someone who feeds feral cats found me. I had been dumped in a colony of ferals, and she knew I was in bad shape and did not belong there. I had a severely damaged eye that ruptured and had to be removed, and I had bruising on my abdomen and chest that looked like I had been kicked. I also had sores and scabs on my neck and head. I am a bit shy and timid, but I warm up quickly to quiet, gentle people. The people who care for me at SBACC say I am very sweet. I am hoping to find a home where I will be safe and loved forever and ever.

7. Henna
Adult (2 years 1 month) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tuxedo / Mixed (short coat) · 6 mi from Long Beach


Hi, my name is Henna. I was rescued from an abandoned property along with my two kittens. They went to a foster home, but I stayed at SBACC. I was not in very good shape. I had a severely damaged eye that had to be removed, and I have a significant head tilt. Some specialists have checked it out, and they think it’s due to an ear infection and some inner ear issues. It might be with me forever. Despite this, I am a very friendly girl and a ball of energy. I am hoping for a forever home, and I would probably do best as an only cat.

9. Savanah
Young (8 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 4 mi from Long Beach



On Mother’s Day, Savannah was found on the front stoop of an apartment scared to death. Savanah had made it indoors and into an open mailbox to hide. That’s when the person who found her brought her home.
Read more about Savanah
The first two weeks, Savanah hid in the closet and under her bed. Since then, she has been spending more and more time in the living room with rescuer, the other cats, and a frenchie. She no longer hides! She’s NOT needy at all, doesn’t demand attention, and finally enjoys being pet and purrs easily. She cuddles up on the bed whenever she gets a chance. She’s a very sweet soul! No behavior concerns and is low/mid energy. She spends her time birdwatching from the windowsill. With just a bit of patience and love, she should warm up to any calm and loving home in no time.
This is a courtesy post for Savannah's finder. Please fill out an application if you are interested in adopting her and it will be sent to the finder so she can contact you.

10. Simba
Adult · Male · Snowshoe / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 14 mi from Long Beach




* 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

11. Alfie
Adult · Male · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 14 mi from Long Beach




* 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

12. Mr Peabody
Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair / American Shorthair / Mixed (short coat) · 14 mi from Long Beach


* 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.

And he has an extra-special feature you'll notice his beautiful one blue eye and one gold eye!

13. Kiki
Adult (1 year 7 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 6 mi from Long Beach




Hi, my name is Kiki. I lived in a nice backyard with another cat for some time. The lady fed us and tried to keep us safe. We both had kittens, and she decided we deserved a better life, so she brought us to SBACC. My kittens went to a foster home, and I stayed at SBACC while I waited for a forever home. I am still a little nervous around people, but I am getting more comfortable every day. I enjoy attention and pets, and I get along well with other cats. I am very petite and pretty. I am hoping for a family or a Mom or Dad who will love and cherish me forever.

14. Prince William
Young (3 months 11 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 6 mi from Long Beach



Meet Prince William! This royal little guy is super playful, goofy, and the definition of a fun-loving orange cat. He spends his days living life in the fast lane, wrestling and chasing toys with his siblings from sunrise to sunset. If there’s a crinkle ball to hunt or a feather wand to stalk, Prince William is on the case! When he’s done ruling the playroom, this affectionate boy is ready to settle down for some well-earned chin scratches and purr sessions.
Because he has so much kitten energy and loves social time, it’s recommended Prince William goes to a home with an active playmate (either one of his siblings or another resident cat) and plenty of toys to keep his clever mind busy.
15. Prince Harry
Young (3 months 11 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 6 mi from Long Beach



Meet Prince Harry! Prince Harry is a gentle, introverted soul who prefers life in the quiet lane. He is currently a super shy and timid kitty, but beneath that cautious exterior lies a heart made of absolute gold.
Prince Harry takes a little time to adjust to new faces, but patience is highly rewarded with this sweet boy. Once he realizes he is safe, he absolutely loves gentle pets, chin scratches, and warm cuddles, turning into a total purr machine.
His favorite confidence booster is his brother! Prince Harry loves playing and wrestling with his more outgoing siblings. Because he relies on other felines to feel brave, it’s highly recommended he finds a home with another confident, friendly resident cat (or he can be adopted with a sibling!) to help him navigate the big world and fully find his place.
16. Tini

17. Tabitha
Adult · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 14 mi from Long Beach




* 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

18. Maisie
Adult · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 14 mi from Long Beach




* In Foster Care * Meet & Greets by appointment. * Please submit an application online and well call to schedule! *
Maisie is a beautiful girl with a soft heart and a quiet way of asking to be loved.
She may take a little time to feel comfortable in a new place, but once she decides she is safe, Maisie is all about affection. Her foster describes her as a “velcro kitty” with her people. She loves pets, enjoys being close, and is very happy to settle in with someone who is willing to sit still and let her soak up attention.
Maisie has been through a lot of change recently, so we are looking for a home that will give her a little patience up front and plenty of love once she is ready.
Read more about Maisie
She is not the kind of cat who needs to be rushed. She just needs someone who understands how rewarding it can be when a shy-to-start cat decides you are her person.
Maisie coexists well with other cats, but she is not bonded and would make a wonderful individual companion. She may also do well with a calm, compatible cat who respects her space.
Sweet, affectionate, and quietly devoted, Maisie is ready for a soft landing and someone to love her back

19. Zulu
Young (6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 6 mi from Long Beach



Hi, my name is Zulu. My three sibs and I were rescued from a garage when we were four months old. We were dirty, full of fleas, and very scared. We came to SBACC, where we were all cleaned up and defleaed. We are now ready to find our forever homes. We are very playful and curious but still kinda shy with people we do not know. I am the shyest one of my litter. We need each other for comfort, so we really need to go home in pairs. You can see all four of us piled into one cubby in one of the pics.

23. Crosby
Adult (1 year 6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 6 mi from Long Beach





Hi, my name is Crosby. I had a home and was left behind when my person moved. I was rescued from the roof of a nearby home and brought to SBACC. I was full of fleas and very skinny, with some missing patches of fur and burns on my paw pads. Now that I am safe and getting lots of good food, I feel a lot better. I definitely need to gain a few pounds. Despite all this, I am a sweet, friendly boy who enjoys attention. I hope to find a home where I will be safe and loved forever.

* 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.

He could also be very happy as the center of someone’s attention.
Sadly, Stitch’s elderly owner is experiencing health challenges and can no longer provide the care and attention he deserves. This sweet boy has been deeply loved, and we are hoping to help him find a secure, loving home where he can begin his next chapter.
Stitch is being shared as a courtesy posting and is not currently in the care of Peter Zippi Memorial Fund. Additional information about his location, adoption process, and any applicable adoption requirements can be provided to interested applicants.

27. Ophelia
Adult (1 year 3 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 6 mi from Long Beach



Hi, my name is Ophelia, aka Mama Ophelia. I was rescued from a front porch and brought to SBACC. I then went to a foster home and delivered my five kittens just four days later. I am told that I was a fabulous mama to my kittens. I sometimes hid them away to protect them from visitors and would sometimes hide myself if I heard the mailman or gardener outside. I also ran and hid when we had a visitor with two small dogs. I slept with my foster Mom and especially enjoyed resting on a sofa while being petted and brushed. When I came back to SBACC, I was stressed and stayed in a cubby for about a week, but I have relaxed, come out, and am enjoying pets from the volunteers. The volunteer who took my pics says I am super sweet. I think I might enjoy being an only cat and getting lots of attention.

Hi, my name is Clem. When I was rescued from an overcrowded shelter, I looked pretty awful, and it was thought that I had mange, but it turned out to be just a bad flea allergy. I am looking so much better now. I may be shy when I first meet you, but if you talk to me and pet me, I will soon warm up. I am looking for a home and a family that will love and take care of me forever, so no more worries or time on the street for me!

Hi, my name is Fara, also known as Mama Fara. I was very pregnant when I was rescued from Leisure World and brought to SBACC. I went to a foster home and delivered my four kittens just five days later. A few days after I had my kittens, SBACC took in an orphaned kitten who was just a little older than my babies. They gave him to me, and I accepted him and raised him as my own. I am told I was a very good Mama, but I am all done with motherhood now and ready for my forever home. My foster Mom says I am quite a good communicator, not shy about letting you know exactly what I want, and will happily chat with you throughout the day.
I love attention, pets, and being close to my people, and will reach out for touch and affection. If you are looking for a loving, interactive companion, I will be right by your side, making sure I am heard and loved.

Why adopt an adult cat in Long Beach
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.
