1. Kiwi 2
Adult (5 years) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 86 mi from National City


Hi, I’m Kiwi! I’m a 5-year-old girl looking for a new family because sadly, my owner is moving and can’t take me along.
I’m a loving, cuddly girl who loves being close to my person. Once I choose you, I’ll be your little shadow, snuggling beside you at night and filling your days with love. I also have a playful side and love to hunt! I can tolerate other cats and get along with small dogs, but I’d truly thrive as your one and only. All I want is a person to call my own and a forever home where I’ll always be loved. Could you be my second chance?
Adoption fee: $85

2. Lovely Lola
Young · Female · Turkish Van / British Shorthair / Mixed (short coat) · 74 mi from National City




Meet Lovely Lola
Lovely Lola is a beautiful, dainty young girl, only about 10–12 months old, with the sweetest, most gentle personality. She has the most interesting markings…looks like 2 equal size triangles down her sides.
Lola’s story began on a rainy October night in Long Beach, where we found her living underneath a car. She was dirty, hungry and trying to survive on the streets. The moment we opened a can of food, she came running. She ate hungrily, then began rubbing against us as if she knew she had finally found someone who would help her.
Of course, there was no way we could leave her there.
We brought Lola home, gave her a nice warm bath and started giving her the full works — ear cleaning, nail trim, deworming, flea treatment, vaccines and microchipping — getting this little girl healthy, clean and ready for her spay.
And that’s when we discovered just how lovely Lola really is. ❤️
As soon as we brought her home from the vet, Lola began purring and rubbing against us. It almost seemed as though she was thanking us for helping her. After surviving outside in an area where life can be very hard for stray cats, she somehow remained incredibly trusting, affectionate and sweet.
Lola is an absolute love. Just watch her video and you’ll immediately see what we’re talking about. She is a precious, dainty, quiet little girl who will make some very lucky person or family a wonderful companion. She loves affection and will happily shower her person with purrs, rubs and love.
Lola seems comfortable around other cats and dogs. Because she has such a gentle, quieter personality, we think she would be happiest in a relatively calm home without young children, where she can relax, feel safe and blossom.
Interested in adopting Lovely Lola? Fill out an application by visiting LBSN.org, email adoptions@lbsn.org to request an adoption application Once we receive your completed application, our adoption team will review it. If we think you and Lola could be a good fit, we’ll contact you to arrange a time for you to meet this lovely little girl.
Adoption fee: $175, which helps offset a portion of Lola’s veterinary care, including her spay, vaccines, microchip, deworming and flea treatment.
Lola survived the streets. Now all she needs is the part of her story that matters most — a loving home of her very own. ❤️

With nearly 30 years of rescue experience, we’re also here after adoption to offer guidance and support whenever you need it. For us, success is knowing we’ve done right by each cat and found them a loving home for life. ❤️

3. Pearlie Girlie
Adult · Female · Turkish Van / British Shorthair / Mixed (short coat) · 74 mi from National City




MEET PEARLY GIRL
Pearly Girl is our newest rescue, and she is an absolute little sweetheart.
This beautiful, dainty white-and-tabby girl is about a year old, with gorgeous green eyes, the prettiest pink nose, and the most adorable little black beauty mark beside her nose. As if she needed anything else to make that little face irresistible!
Pearly Girl came to us when a homeless man who could no longer keep her was about to leave her on the streets. Somehow he found us, and there was simply no way we could turn this sweet girl away.
She is gentle, affectionate, playful, and incredibly loving. She’s a true little lap cat who loves cuddles, curling up beside you, and even burrowing under the covers in bed with you, purring away.
Read more about Pearlie Girlie
She has such a sweet, gentle nature and just wants someone of her own to love.
Her name has a special little story, too. Her beautiful white coat reminded us so much of my mom’s beloved cat Pearl, who recently passed away. We had already been affectionately calling this little one “Girly,” and somehow Pearly Girl just seemed to fit.
Now this darling girl needs the happy ending to her story—a loving forever home where she’ll never have to worry about being left behind again.
Could Pearly Girl be your girl?
To request an adoption application, please email adoptions@lbsn.org or text 562-588-4272. Once we receive your completed application, we’ll arrange a time for you to come meet her.
A $150 adoption donation is requested to help offset her veterinary expenses.
Please help us find Pearly Girl the loving forever home she deserves.

4. Dallas and Vegas
Adult · Male · Tabby (short coat) · 74 mi from National City



Meet Dallas & Vegas! Double the love, double the purrs!
Some bonds are simply unbreakable, and Dallas and Vegas are the perfect example! These handsome 9 year old brothers have spent their entire lives together, and they wouldn’t want it any other way. Now, they’re looking for a loving forever home where they can enjoy their golden years side by side, surrounded by comfort, affection, and plenty of love. Now they might be 9 years old but they do not act like older cats. They still have so much life left and love to run around playing with toys and chasing each other through the house as if they were spry adolescents.
Dallas (brown tabby) is a sweet, affectionate boy who just needs a little time to feel comfortable with new people.
Read more about Dallas and Vegas
He may be a bit reserved at first, but give him about 24 hours to settle in, and you’ll soon have a purring lap cat who is happy to soak up your attention! Dallas takes comfort in his brother Vegas and looks to him for confidence when meeting new people. These two are so connected that Dallas will even call out for his brother if he can’t find him. His loving personality is absolutely worth the little bit of patience it takes to win his heart.
Vegas (grey/white) is the outgoing charmer of the duo! This total lovebug adores human attention and isn’t shy about asking for it. He’ll happily headbutt your hand or leg to remind you that it’s time for pets, and head and chin scratches are definitely the way to his heart. Vegas is also a big fan of mealtime and enjoys his food a little too much! He’s carrying a little extra weight and could benefit from losing a pound or two to help keep him healthy. With some portion control and a balanced diet, he’ll be on the right track!
Dallas and Vegas have lived with other cats and dogs and tend to be pretty indifferent to their furry housemates. With slow, thoughtful introductions, they may be able to share their home with other pets. Their most important relationship, however, is with each other. They are a truly bonded pair and must be adopted together.
At 9 years old, these boys have so much love left to give. They’re past the kitten chaos and ready to settle into a peaceful home where they can enjoy cozy naps, full bellies, gentle affection, and the comfort of always having their favorite companion nearby.
Could you be the forever home Dallas & Vegas have been waiting for? If you have room in your heart for two sweet adorable gentlemen, these brothers would love to meet you!

It is a long read and a long adoption process. Please understand we are ensuring that our babies go to great homes and we don't know you personally (yet). Understand that this is an adoption of a beautiful little soul that deserves the absolute best life.
Read more about Waylon
The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. So don't let that discourage you from adopting an adult cat! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old.
WAYLON, his mom ESSIE and his siblings, ELI and ELIZABETH were kicked out of their home. So the neighbor (our foster now) picked them up and reached out to us. Then about 2 weeks later, she picked up 3 kittens that were abandoned at a vet, So ESSIE raised all 6 kittens. The other 3 are WALTER, SONNY and MAXINE.
Meet WAYLON, a young brown tabby Egyptian Mau kitten from Beaumont, California, whose adventurous spirit, curious mind, and cuddly personality make him a delightful little companion. This handsome boy has places to go, things to investigate, and important work to supervise, especially when his favorite humans are trying to get things done. With WAYLON around, even an ordinary afternoon can turn into an entertaining adventure!
WAYLON’s story began on the streets of Beaumont, where he was found with his mama, ESSIE, and his siblings. Thankfully, a kind neighbor stepped in to help the little family, bringing them into a loving foster home where they could grow, play, and discover the comforts of being cared for. Now WAYLON is ready to start his next chapter with a family who will appreciate his wonderful personality and playful zest for life.
This boy is an adventurous explorer who wants to know what is happening everywhere. He is very curious, loves discovering new things, and is always ready to turn an ordinary object into an exciting new toy. Playtime is serious business for Waylon, and he brings enthusiasm to every chase, pounce, and playful leap. His lively nature is sure to keep his new family smiling.
But WAYLON has another very important talent: he is an excellent homework supervisor! Whether you are studying, working on a laptop, reading a book, or trying to finish a project, WAYLON would be happy to offer his assistance. Expect a curious little face nearby, a possible lap inspection, and perhaps a reminder that taking cuddle breaks is an essential part of productivity.
For all his adventurous energy, WAYLON is also a sweet, affectionate boy who loves being held and enjoys curling up in laps. He is the perfect combination of playful explorer and cozy cuddle companion. After a busy round of investigations, he is more than happy to settle in close to his people and enjoy some loving attention.
WAYLON also gets along very well with other cats, making him a wonderful candidate for a family with friendly feline companions. With his social nature and love of play, he can bring extra fun and companionship to a cat-friendly home.

Meet ELI, an adventurous Egyptian Mau tabby kitten from Beaumont, California, whose curious mind, playful spirit, and affectionate personality make him a little bundle of fun with four paws and a whole lot of charm. This handsome boy is always ready to investigate something new, launch into a game, or find the nearest human who might be available for a cuddle. With ELI around, everyday life is sure to include plenty of laughter, surprises, and sweet kitten moments.
Eli’s story began on the streets of Beaumont, where he was found with his mama, ESSIE, and his siblings. Thankfully, a kind neighbor stepped in to help the little family, bringing them into a loving foster home where they could grow and discover the joys of feeling safe and cared for. Now ELI is ready to begin his next adventure with a family who will appreciate his lively personality and affectionate heart.
This boy is wonderfully adventurous and endlessly curious. He loves exploring his surroundings and investigating whatever catches his attention. If something interesting is happening, you can bet ELI wants to be part of it! He is very playful and enjoys opportunities to chase toys, pounce, leap, and show off his impressive kitten acrobatics. His enthusiasm for life is contagious, and he has a special talent for turning ordinary moments into entertaining little adventures.
But ELI is not all action and exploration. He is also a cuddly sweetheart who loves being held and has a charming habit of jumping right onto you when he wants to be involved. Apparently, personal space is optional when there are hugs and attention to be enjoyed! His affectionate nature makes him a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates a kitten who wants to participate in just about everything.
ELI shares a particularly sweet bond with his twin sister, ELIZABETH. These two look remarkably alike and get along beautifully, making their connection extra special. Their playful companionship is lovely to see, and they would bring plenty of fun to a family that enjoys watching kittens grow and explore together.
ELI is ready to fill his next chapter with playtime, cuddles, and exciting discoveries. To learn more about adopting ELI, please apply at Workinwhiskers.com. Could this affectionate little tabby be the snuggly new companion who brings extra warmth and happiness into your life?

The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. So don't let that discourage you from adopting an adult cat! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old.
ISAAC and his siblings (ALLUCARD - ATREUS - CARMILLA) were turned into the shelter. We have no real idea what their life was before coming to the rescue.
So ISAAC and CARMILLA were adopted together back in 2021 as small kittens. To their dismay, they were returned to us in 2026. It was no fault of their own. The woman decided she was moving back home and couldn't take her cats.
Meet ISAAC, a handsome, extra-large tabby boy with beautiful white markings and a heart just as big as his cuddly frame. ISAAC is a sweet, loving gentleman who adores affection and is ready to find a loving home where he can settle in, feel cherished, and share all the warmth he has to offer.
ISAAC’s story began when he and his sister, CARMILLA, were saved from a high-kill shelter as kittens. At just three months old, ISAAC found a family to call his own. After four and a half years, he and CARMILLA returned to seek a new chapter, and now this wonderful boy is ready to meet the people who will welcome him into their lives and appreciate what a special companion he is.
If you love big cats with even bigger hearts, ISAAC might just steal yours. He is an exceptionally sweet and affectionate boy who enjoys cuddles and being close to his people. There is something extra comforting about having a big, soft feline friend nearby, ready to keep you company after a long day. Isaac has that wonderful, loving presence that makes a home feel a little warmer and everyday moments a little sweeter.
ISAAC would be happy as the only cat in the family, where he can enjoy plenty of attention and companionship. He may also be compatible with a very friendly, easygoing feline companion who is comfortable sharing space and making new friends. His future family should focus on a thoughtful introduction and a comfortable environment where everyone can settle in at their own pace.
This big tabby boy has so much love to give. He is looking for a family who sees beyond his size and recognizes the gentle, cuddly sweetheart underneath. Whether you imagine quiet evenings together, affectionate moments on the couch, or simply having a loving feline friend nearby, ISAAC is ready to bring companionship and comfort to his next chapter.
To learn more about adopting ISAAC, please apply at Workinwhiskers.com. Could this extra-large bundle of tabby sweetness be the loving companion you have been hoping to welcome into your life?
ISAAC is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TABBY. She is 5 years and 6 months old and is good with cats. In his last home he was never around children but did live with a small dog.

This darling girl has mastered the art of making people smile, and if you are looking for a kitten who loves cuddles, enjoys being held, and happily soaks up attention, ELIZABETH may be just the girl you have been dreaming of!
ELIZABETH's story began outdoors, where she was found alongside her mama, ESSIE, and her siblings, ELI and WAYLON. Their little family needed help, and a kind neighbor stepped in to bring them to safety and provide a loving foster home. Now ELIZABETH has the opportunity to grow, play, and share her wonderfully affectionate personality with a family of her own.
This girl is all about love! ELIZABETH is friendly, sweet, and wonderfully snuggly. She loves being petted and held, and she is happy to enjoy those special moments when she can be close to her favorite people. Whether you are settling in for a relaxing evening or taking a break from a busy day, ELIZABETH would love to be part of it. Her affectionate nature makes her a delightful companion who can turn an ordinary moment into something special with a little purring, cuddling, and kitten sweetness.
ELIZABETH also has a fun little family resemblance worth mentioning. She and her sibling ELI look remarkably alike, so you might need to take a second look to tell these two apart! Fortunately, ELIZABETH has her own unmistakable charm, especially when she is leaning into a gentle pet or happily enjoying a cuddle.
Another wonderful quality about ELIZABETH is that she loves dogs. Her comfort around canine companions could make her a lovely addition to a family with a friendly, cat-compatible dog, provided introductions are thoughtful and gradual.
ELIZABETH is ready to fill her next chapter with cozy snuggles, playful kitten adventures, and plenty of affection. She needs a loving family who will cherish her sweet personality and give her opportunities to keep growing into the wonderful companion she is becoming.

Every Home needs two special kitties ... Meet Daisy and Minnie!
Some kitties are beautiful on their own.
But every once in a while, you find two that were simply meant to stay side by side.
Daisy and Minnie are 6 month old bonded girls whose personalities complement each other perfectly. They are sweet, gentle, playful, and incredibly loving, and after spending every day of their young lives together, they're looking for a forever family that will let them continue their adventure as a pair.
Think of them as the perfect buddy movie...
One is the outgoing tour guide.
The other is the charming best friend who eventually steals the show.
Together?
They're absolutely irresistible.
Daisy: The Social Butterfly
This beautiful Russian Blue mix believes laps were invented specifically for cats.
If you sit down...
Congratulations.
You've just volunteered.
She adores people and happily accepts head scratches, cuddles, and afternoon naps curled up beside her favorite humans.
Read more about Daisy & Minnie
She's wonderfully confident, affectionate, and has the kind of personality that makes visitors immediately ask, "Can I pet her?"
Her beautiful coat only adds to her charm. She's absolutely stunning—but she has no idea. She's far too busy making friends.
Minnie: The Bombay Beauty
She is a goofball who is always up to a new acrobatic feat.
Do you have a cat tree?
Minnie is at the top, lounging in the sun, usually with one leg dangling off.
Do you have toys?
She is bouncing around the house with them in her mouth.
Often dropping them at your feet to entice you into a game of fetch.
Better Together
These girls truly bring out the best in one another.
They wrestle.
They chase toys.
They curl up together for naps.
They groom one another.
And after a busy day of kitten adventures, you'll often find them sleeping nose-to-nose, looking like two peas in a pod.
Their bond is beautiful to witness and exactly why they're looking for a home together.
Designing Their Dream Home
If Daisy and Minnie could decorate their forever home, their wish list wouldn't be very long.
A tall cat tree where they can survey their kingdom.
A sunny window for bird watching.
A basket overflowing with toys.
A couple of ridiculously soft beds...
...although there's a very good chance they'll choose to sleep together anyway.
Most importantly, they'd love a family that understands some of life's greatest joys come in pairs.
Double the Cats... Double the Love
People sometimes worry that adopting two kittens means twice the work.
Daisy and Minnie would respectfully disagree.
They keep each other entertained.
They comfort each other.
They burn off their zoomies together.
And they ensure neither one is ever lonely.
Instead of one little heart filling your home...
You'll have two.
And somehow, they make each other even sweeter.
Imagine coming home after a long day to find these two sweet girls happily greeting you.
Imagine watching them race up their cat tree, chase one another through the house, then collapse together for a nap as though the Olympics just ended.
Imagine spending years watching their friendship grow while they become part of your family.
Some kitties are simply better together.
Daisy and Minnie are one of those rare pairs.
They have been spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350 for the pair.
If your home has room for twice the purrs, twice the laughter, and a lifetime of love, Daisy and Minnie are ready to capture your heart.

Adult · Male · Tabby (short coat) · 74 mi from National City




Do you want to spend your days and nights with a complete lovebug? Then Hudson is your guy.
Some cats simply fit into a family.
Hudson becomes part of it.
Hudson is a 2 year old handsome tabby with the kind of easygoing personality that makes everyone wonder if he's always lived there. Friendly, affectionate, curious, and endlessly charming, he's the cat who greets visitors like old friends and somehow convinces everyone that stopping to pet him is the most important thing they'll do all day.
He is an absolute joy to be around.
Do you have a dog? Hudson could be his best freind.
Do you have children? Hudson would be a wonderful companion.
He would love to be your one and only kitty because he thinks one is all you need.
Read more about Hudson
Especially if he gets to be the one.
You'll often find him stretched out in his favorite cat bed, perched high on his cat tree surveying his kingdom, or curled beside his favorite person enjoying a quiet afternoon together. He's wonderfully affectionate without being demanding and has perfected the art of appearing exactly when someone has an empty lap available.
Movie night?
He's in.
Working from home?
Expect a furry assistant.
Reading a book?
Hudson believes every chapter is improved by a purring companion.
A tall cat tree near a sunny window would be his dream office. Add a basket full of toys, plenty of tasty treats (Temptations are his favorite), and a cozy bed, and Hudson will consider himself one very fortunate cat.
Some cats make you laugh.
Some cats make you smile.
Hudson somehow manages to do both while also making your house feel a little more like home.
He has been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $150.
If you're looking for a smart, affectionate companion with a heart as warm as his purr, Hudson is ready to fill your home with love and an endless supply of happy moments!

Bringing a cat home to your dog
Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.
Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
