2. Lovely Lola

Young · Female · Turkish Van / British Shorthair / Mixed (short coat) · 22 mi from Placentia

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. ❤️

Why Adopt from LBSN? At LBSN, we pride ourselves on the quality, care and dedication we give to every cat we rescue. Our cats are never kept in cages or adoption centers — they live in our foster homes as part of the family until they are healthy, happy and truly ready for adoption. Because we live with them, we get to know their personalities extremely well, which allows us to focus on making the right match, not simply making an adoption. 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) · 22 mi from Placentia

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.

20. Princess Polly

Adult (2 years 1 month) · Female · Tabby (medium coat) · 20 mi from Placentia

** 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.

22. Marmont

Adult (1 year 1 month) · Male · Chartreux (short coat) · 20 mi from Placentia

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.

28. Bowtie

Kitten (2 months 20 days) · Female · Tuxedo / Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 22 mi from Placentia

Bowtie is a spirited, wobbly-but-never-slowed-down kitten who proves that a little cerebellar hypoplasia or CH won't dampen a big personality.
Bowtie's CH is considered moderate to severe, as she is not able to walk, stand, or sit up on her own, however her head and body tremors are generally mild and tend to appear when she's focused on an object or eating food. Even so, she can lift her head and push herself up using her front legs, and she gets around quite capably by using her front nails to pull and her back legs to push herself along—for her to maneuver independently, though, she needs carpeted floors or non-slip bath mats underfoot for traction. She can enjoy her meals from a bowl while lying down, or with proper supports around her if she chooses to try to sit—once she's positioned comfortably, she eats just fine. Given her small size, a standard litterbox looks like a monumental challenge to her right now, so for the time being she uses modified boxes and pee pads, and she should be able to adapt to commercially available low-entry boxes as she gets bigger.

Read more about Bowtie

And energy? This kitten runs on premium fuel. She doesn't just play—she conducts full-scale campaigns against her toys, wand-toy in one paw and her long-suffering snake in the other, wrestling it into submission with the intensity of a kitten twice her size. She flops into rooms with purpose, announces her opinions loudly (especially about food dishes), and propels herself across the room with sheer determination, pulling and scooting her way toward whatever's caught her attention—usually followed by a dramatic collapse into a well-earned nap. It's a lot of enthusiasm packed into one small, formally-dressed package, all the more reason her space needs to be safe and protected as she moves.

Her ideal adopter will understand that this kind of support and patience is simply part of loving Bowtie, and that she's happy to coexist with feline housemates as well.

She's looking for a patient adopter ready to "Bowtie-proof" a home with soft landings and safe exploring spots. Cerebellar hypoplasia is not contagious and doesn't require medication, and it's not progressive, so Bowtie's condition will not worsen over time. With appropriate care and support from her family, she can look forward to a normal lifespan, and this level of determined, tumbling joy is simply who she is—for life.

29. Flurry

Young (7 months) · Male · Siamese / Snowshoe / Mixed (short coat) · 22 mi from Placentia

Hi! My name is
Flurry
, and I have an important question for you:

Are you looking for a handsome kitten? Fluffy, blue-eyed lynx point Siamese who can simultaneously entertain you, supervise your household, and occasionally sit in your lap and purr?

Excellent. Because I happen to be available.

My story didn’t start out very happily. My mom, Frostine, and I were found abandoned outside during a terrible heat wave. We had no food, no water, and no idea why our humans had left us there. Thankfully, a good Samaritan found us and brought us to
D.R.E.A.M. Animal Rescue
, where we finally got the food, water, safety, and love we desperately needed.

Read more about Flurry

And now? Well…
I’m thriving!

Once I know you’re one of the good humans, I will happily turn on my
purr motor
and settle in beside you for some serious petting. I’m friendly, playful, and curious about absolutely EVERYTHING.

And when I say everything, I mean
EVERYTHING.

What’s that over there? I must investigate.

What’s that noise? Must investigate.

What’s behind that door? Obviously, I must investigate.

Why is my human sitting quietly?
Clearly, they need me.

I especially love
rope toys, coils, rattling balls, and toys I can carry around
. Yes, I said
carry
. I am a tiny kitten with very important possessions and I feel strongly that I should be allowed to transport my toys wherever I please.

I also LOVE climbing my cat tree. From up there, I can observe my kingdom, conduct surveillance operations, and occasionally launch myself into an important kitten mission.

I’m also a big fan of playing with my mom, Frostine. We have lots of fun together, although I’m pretty sure she sometimes wishes I would take a nap and stop bothering her. Personally, I think she secretly enjoys my excellent company.

And just in case you’re wondering about my manners…

I ALWAYS use the litter box.

You’re welcome.

So, if you’re looking for a handsome little lynx point Siamese who is playful, inquisitive, friendly, affectionate once he gets to know you, and guaranteed to bring plenty of entertainment into your life,
I might just be your guy.

Come meet me. Give me a little time to get acquainted with you. Then prepare yourself for the moment when my purr motor starts.

Because once I decide you’re my person…

You’re probably going to be my person forever.
❤️

Love,

Flurry

30. Frostine

Adult (1 year 1 month) · Female · Siamese / Mixed (short coat) · 22 mi from Placentia

Hi! My name is Frostine , and I’m a 1 year old beautiful blue eyed lynx point Siamese girl with a soft heart, a gentle soul, and a rather dramatic story about how I came to D.R.E.A.M. Animal Rescue.

My son, Flurry , and I were abandoned outside in the middle of a terrible heat wave. We had no food. No water. No way to get out of the heat. Thankfully, a wonderful Good Samaritan found us and brought us to D.R.E.A.M. They gave us something we desperately needed: a second chance. ❤️

These days, I’m discovering that life can actually be pretty wonderful!

Read more about Frostine

I’m a calm, sweet girl who just needs a little time to get to know you. Once I know you’re my person, my purr motor starts right up! I love sitting near you while you pet me, and I’m perfectly happy to keep you company without demanding that I be the center of attention.

I’m also a curious and playful girl. I enjoy rope toys, coils, balls, and toy mice , and I absolutely love climbing my cat tree. When I’m not busy investigating something important, you can usually find me perched up high on my cat tree or lounging comfortably on the sofa, quietly supervising everything happening around me. Someone has to keep an eye on things, after all!

I especially enjoy playing with my son, Flurry . We have been through a lot together, and I’m very happy that we have each other. ❤️

I’m a good girl who always uses my litter box , and I promise I’ve retired from my former career as an outdoor survival expert. These days, I’m much more interested in soft furniture, toys, affection, and having a safe place to call home.

Maybe that home could be yours ?

If you’re looking for a gorgeous Siamese girl who is sweet, calm, playful, curious, and ready to learn what it means to be truly loved, I would absolutely love to meet you.

Could you be my happily-ever-after?

Love and purrs,

Frostine

Adopting a cat with children in Placentia

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.
