-8 weeks old

-Weighs 2.13 pounds

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.

Sometimes the way to a nervous kitty's heart is through her stomach!

5. Savanah

Young (8 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 13 mi from Maywood

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.

Quicksilver is a beautiful silver tabby boy who was found all alone in a parking lot. We have no idea where he came from or how he got there, but we're glad he's safe. He's shy at first, and needs a patient family who will give him the time to bloom at his own pace. He loves to be petted and is crazy about treats! He'd love to be adopted into a home with his best friend Odysseus or another young kitty he can wrestle and snuggle with.

9. Odysseus

Kitten (6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from Maywood

Handsome kitten Odysseus was found roaming around outside a movie theater all by himself. It took us over a month to track down and catch our little epic adventurer! We were worried that he would be too old to learn to love humans, but he has decided to trade in his life of a wanderer for life as a pampered house cat. He's still a bit shy, but he LOVES being petted and has an amazing purr when you rub his cheeks and ears. He's a very playful and curious boy and would love to be adopted with his best friend Quicksilver or into a home with another young kitty he can snuggle and wrestle with.

20. Lizzie

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby / Mixed (short coat) · 15 mi from Maywood

* Available in Shelter for Meet & Greet *
Meet Lizzie, a sweet little girl who is discovering more reasons every day to trust the people around her.
Lizzie came to us at about 2 months old with limited experience living indoors. At first, new people and situations made her a little apprehensive, but underneath that cautious exterior was a playful, affectionate kitten just waiting to emerge.
These days, Lizzie is increasingly excited to see her foster family and has even started running up to greet her foster mom when her pen opens for morning playtime. Once she feels comfortable, she is wonderfully sweet, playful, and full of purrs.
But if you really want to see Lizzie light up, introduce her to another cat.

Read more about Lizzie

She absolutely loves feline companionship and brightens the moment she sees the resident cats in her foster home. Having a friendly young cat in her new home will give Lizzie a playmate, a confidence boost, and a companion to learn and grow alongside.
Lizzie currently tests positive for FIV antibodies. Because she is still very young, antibodies passed from her mother can cause a positive result even when a kitten is not actually infected. She will be retested as she gets older, with her final status determined after those maternal antibodies have had time to disappear. In the meantime, Lizzie is healthy, active, spayed, and thriving.
Lizzie has already come such a long way in a few short weeks, and we think the best is still ahead. With a little patience, lots of play, and a feline friend by her side, this sweet girl is only going to become more confident and loving.

Adopting a cat in Maywood

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.
