2. Montgomery

Kitten · Male · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Norwalk

* 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.

Read more about Montgomery

He can occasionally be a little grumbly when things aren’t going quite the way he had in mind, but that’s simply part of this sensitive orange boy charm.
Montgomery also enjoys the company of other cats. He is currently sharing space with two adult orange cats, Whiskers and Trouble, and seems perfectly happy joining them for naps, visits and the occasional group treat. Seeing the three of them together makes Montgomery look like their miniature counterpart.
Affectionate, playful and easygoing, Montgomery is a little love bug who enjoys both feline companionship and time with his people. We think he’ll make a wonderful addition to a home ready for all the sweetness and personality this orange boy has to offer.

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.

Read more about Ralphie

He settles into new surroundings with ease and seems to approach life with a healthy dose of calm curiosity and enthusiasm.
In fact, Ralphie was ready to introduce himself to the resident cats in his foster home almost immediately! His foster family took things a little more slowly, and now he's beginning to enjoy playtime with their youngest cat.
With his friendly nature and easygoing personality, we suspect Ralphie may have known the comforts of a loving home before his parking lot adventure.
Now he's ready for a permanent home of his own, where he can continue making friends, exploring his surroundings, and enjoying the good life.
Could Ralphie be your new best friend?

5. Munji

Kitten · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 18 mi from Norwalk

* 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.

6. Wizard

Young (7 months) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 17 mi from Norwalk

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) · 17 mi from Norwalk

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) · 17 mi from Norwalk

** 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

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.

10. Marmont

Adult (1 year 1 month) · Male · Chartreux (short coat) · 17 mi from Norwalk

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.

14. Simba

Adult · Male · Snowshoe / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Norwalk

* 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

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.

* 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.

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.

23. Kitten Khalessi

Kitten (3 months 1 day) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 11 mi from Norwalk

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.

I love to play with balls and springs, and I played fetch with the kids. I also slept with them or with my foster Mom. I purr when you pet me and am a loving and affectionate kitten. I am hoping to find a forever home with another cat or kitten, and I would be fine with children too.

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.

28. Chastity

Young (8 months) · Female · Siamese (short coat) · 17 mi from Norwalk

Meet Chastity...the sweetest flamepoint siamese little girl ever! This poor soul has been through a lot. She had a litter and was so emmaciated, she could not produce any milk to feed them and every one of them perished. She was part of a colony being TNR'd and we took her in after noticing she was social. White cats do not survive long on the streets with lack of camoflage to protect them and she was no street cat.

Read more about Chastity

She was nervous at first and after 3 days, she came out of her shell. She is playful, talkative and loves attention. She gets along with other kitties who are even-tempered. She is not used to dogs. We think kids would be ok who are 5+.

She is still a kitten herself and she is very forgiving. We'd love to see her in a home who loves and spoils her rotten.

They are the perfect kittens that are going to make a family so happy!

30. Snooki

Senior · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 13 mi from Norwalk

Meet Snooki!
Snookie is an approximately 8-year-old gray-and-white domestic shorthair who has been waiting far too long for the first real home of her own.
As far as we know, Snookie spent most of her life living in a shed in someone’s backyard. Despite everything she has been through, she is one of the most affectionate, gentle and loving cats you could ever meet. Her coat is incredibly soft, and she absolutely loves being petted, having her belly rubbed and curling up in someone’s lap.
Snookie also loves to talk and will charm you with her adorable trills, chirps and little conversations. She has so much affection to give and will make someone the most wonderful, devoted companion.
More than anything, Snookie wants a warm lap, a safe home and someone to love her for the rest of her life.

Read more about Snooki

She has many wonderful years ahead of her, and we are looking for a truly committed adopter who will make her a permanent member of the family and ensure that she never again faces homelessness.
Snookie is spayed, vaccinated, flea-treated, microchipped and litter-trained. She has been fully vetted and recently received a complete dental.
After waiting nearly half her life, Snookie deserves her first true forever home. Could it be yours?
Her adoption fee is $195, which will help toward her veterinary expenses.
To request an application, please email adoptions@lbsn.org. Once we receive your completed application, we will coordinate a time for you to meet her.

Adopting a cat with children in Norwalk

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.
