Adult Cats for Adoption in San Clemente, CA: 30 Grown-Up Cats Looking for a Home

Adult Cats up for adoption near San Clemente, CA

Rescues and shelters within 25 miles of San Clemente have 80 adult cats up for adoption. Here are the 30 newest, each with photos, their story and how to reach the rescue looking after them.

Adult cats usually wait longer for homes than kittens, but their personalities are already settled, so you know just what you're getting: a lap cat, a chatterbox or an independent explorer.

1. Lovely Lola

Young · Female · Turkish Van / British Shorthair / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from San Clemente

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. ❤️

2. Pearlie Girlie

Adult · Female · Turkish Van / British Shorthair / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from San Clemente

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.

And I am absolutely CRAZY about cat treats! The moment I know treats are involved, you’ll have my full attention. My previous owner said one of the most wonderful things about me is my gentle temperament. I have never hissed at anyone or shown aggression. Even when something upsets me, I simply run away rather than getting angry or defensive. I am the perfect combination of independent and affectionate. I don’t demand constant attention, but I have my own adorable ways of showing you that I love you. I’m a sweet little companion who will bring warmth, laughter, and lots of love into your home.

17. Flurry

Young (7 months) · Male · Siamese / Snowshoe / Mixed (short coat) · 11 mi from San Clemente

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

Adult (1 year 1 month) · Female · Siamese / Mixed (short coat) · 11 mi from San Clemente

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

Meet Lovely Luna
Meet Luna, a beautiful one-year-old Russian Blue/Chartreux mix with a silky-soft charcoal-gray coat, striking green-gold eyes and a wonderfully sweet, gentle nature.
Luna was rescued from the streets of Long Beach along with her brother, and we are so happy that life outside is now behind her. She has been lovingly cared for ever since and is ready for the next chapter — a safe, secure forever home of her own.
Luna is a quiet, sweet and playful young cat who absolutely loves the company of other cats. She enjoys having a feline friend to play and cuddle with, so ideally we would love to place her in a home with another friendly young cat who is also looking for a companion.

Read more about Luna

❤️
With her elegant little face, beautiful eyes and incredibly soft coat, Luna is even prettier in person. She is a gentle girl who would make a wonderful companion for both her person and another kitty.
✨ Luna is:
• Spayed • Up to date on vaccines • Microchipped • Dewormed • Flea treated • Litter-box trained • Nails trimmed • Provided with her veterinary records
Could Luna Be Your Girl?
What we want most for Luna is a home where she will never have to worry about being outside or homeless again — a home where she can feel safe, loved and secure for the rest of her life.
We would especially love to hear from someone who already has a friendly young cat looking for a companion. ❤️
To request an adoption application, please email adoptions@lbsn.org or text 562-588-4272. If texting, please include your email address so we can send you an application.
Once we receive and review your application, if we think you and Luna could be a good match, we’ll contact you to arrange a time to meet her.
Adoption fee: $175, which helps offset a portion of Luna’s veterinary care.
Above all, our priority is finding Luna a safe, happy and loving forever home where this beautiful girl will be cherished for the rest of her life. ❤️
A Note About Allergies: Russian Blues are sometimes described as “hypoallergenic,” but no cat is truly allergy-free. Luna is a rescue and a Russian Blue/Chartreux mix, not a purebred cat. If you have a significant cat allergy, Luna may therefore not be the right match for your home.

I am currently available for adoption at the Rancho Santa Margarita Petsmart. If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an application on our website www.carmaoc.org
Hi! I’m Dorito and I am a very sweet and mellow cat. Some of my favorite things to do are sitting in the cat tree, looking out the window, playing with other cats/kittens and eating squeeze treats. Wand toys are also fun. I like to be around people and enjoy snuggling next to you. I was found with my three little kittens, Salsa Verde, Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch. I like to explore new places and have been fostered with dogs. Still trying to figure those out. I would do well in a quiet house with lots of attention.

Kiki is a beautiful, one-year-old Russian blue lady full of love and life!! She was found dumped at a feral cat colony, but she was so friendly, she had to be brought indoors to find a forever home. She loves to receive pets and purrs loudly to show her appreciation. If she’s not purring, she’s either snacking or playing (and she still might purr while doing those too). While she’s very social, she doesn’t mind some alone time in a cozy place, like under the bed or up high on a blanket. Kiki would love a window to look out into the night; when she’s not guarding your home, she’s hanging out with you or zooming around.

Why adopt an adult cat in San Clemente

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.
