* COURTESY POST FOR INDEPENDENT ADOPTER:

Zelena is one of the lucky ones that gets a chance at a life in a loving home, off the streets. She is not as boisterous as her siblings. She is a little bit on the shy side and is playing with people daily to build her confidence. She loves her hammocks and wand toys. She is so beautiful and such a sweet soul. She needs a quiet home that will be a little more patient with her so she can come around at her own pace. She will make you a wonderful friend and companion!

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.

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.

Meet Merlin!

Merlin and his littermates were found as tiny, orphaned kittens not yet old enough to survive on their own. Thankfully they were brought to a volunteer who specializes in bottle-feeding the smallest of kittens, then when they were big enough to eat on their own a new Cats Cradle foster took over.

Merlin is a friendly, gentle little guy with a ton of playful energy. He likes to play with toys and his brothers, loves attention and exploring, and is very affectionate.

Wednesday came to Paw Parent with her brother Jagger. They were found by the police abandoned in an apartment after their people had gotten evicted. We were called and could not say now and scrambled to make room for them. It took them a while to settle in and get used to their new surroundings but have warmed up very well. Wednesday is still a little shy but loves to snuggle on a lab when things are calm and quiet. They are only about a year old and so gorgeous with their golden eyes and luscious coats. it would be great if they could find a home together but it is not a must. She weighs abut 10 pounds, is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped and ready to be part of a new family. Please call 661-7240-0642 or email us at pawparent@gmail.com if you would like to met her and her brother.

Jagger came to Paw Parent with his sister Wednesday. They were left behind by people who had gotten evicted and were found by the police. We were called and couldn't say no and scrambled to make room for them. It took them a while to settle in and gain trust. Wednesday still is a little shy but once you sit and let her come to you she loves to snuggle on your lab. Both of them are absolutely gorgeous, with their golden eyes and lucious coat. Jagger is the larger than her and weighs 13 pounds. He likes to get petted and will try to reward you with love bites. :) It would be great if they could get adopted together but it is not a must.He is about a year old, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.Please call 661-724-0642 or email us at pawparent@gmail.com

BoBo and Lana are bonded pals. They are 6 years old and have been ‘siblings’ since they were about a year old. (Due to health problems, their owner was unable to keep them, so they have returned into the loving care of Feline Network.)

BoBo (Borris) is fun loving and goofy. He’s hilarious when he plays and very affectionate when it’s cuddle time. He likes to be close to you when you’re sitting on the couch- And if you ignore him, he will crawl up to your face and nudge you to remind you that it’s time for some pets. BoBo loves to play with his sister. They are very dependent on one another.

Boots is a sweet 2-year-old silver tabby with white paws who may be a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, she has so much love to give. She’s a professional biscuit maker, loves curling up on a soft blanket, and absolutely adores people. She just needs a little extra time to warm up to other cats.

Boots is looking for a safe, quiet, indoor home where she can relax, feel secure, and let her sweet personality shine.

Fixed, vaccinated, microchipped and her adoption includes a voucher for a free vet exam.

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.

Loki cam to Paw Parent with his mom and 5 siblings, all of them pitch black. We were only able to distinguish them by putting different collars on them. Loki tends to be very shy like his mom and needs time to get to know you, but he is sweet and gentle. He would love to find a home with one of his siblings. He is 5 months old, neutered, up to date on all his shots and microchipped.Please call 661-724-0642 or email us at pawparent@gmail.com if you would like to make him part of your life.

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!

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.

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.

Jebediah is the absolutely sweetest boy who loves to snuggle, talk and give kisses. The ultimate loverboy, he is very gentle, food motivated and happy to be off the streets. Jeb loves to curl up in your arms and get belly rubs. He's very good with other cats and he loves his toys...he is very playful!

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.

Meet Lucas, a gentle, sweet soul looking for a quiet home where he can be showered with love and pets!

Lucas came to us after surviving a rough time outdoors with a severely injured, degloved tail that required amputation. Despite everything he’s been through, his gentle, sweet nature never wavered—he doesn't have a mean or aggressive bone in his body.
Lucas is fully recovered, resilient, and ready for a peaceful forever home where he can relax, enjoy his treats, and be your loyal lap companion.

Two sweet 4-month-old siblings looking for loving forever homes!

Selma
is a beautiful all-black little girl with the sweetest, quietest voice. She is gentle, affectionate, and loves nothing more than curling up beside you and being close to her person. She’s a little lovebug who will happily keep you company.

Louie
is the outgoing tabby with a BIG personality! He’s playful, curious, energetic, and full of kitten mischief. He loves being part of the action and will happily follow you from room to room because, wherever you are, that’s where he wants to be!

If you’re looking for a loyal little companion with a thoughtful heart, meet
Watson
. He’s the middle sibling to Sherlock and Enola, and a sweet bottle-fed boy raised with other cats, kittens, and a dog, making him well-socialized and comfortable in a busy home. Watson is playful but quiet, cuddly, and observant — the steady little sidekick who likes to stay close, think things through, and bring gentle love to his forever family.

These 4-month-old sisters have different personalities! June, the orange girl, is incredibly sweet and purrs the moment you pet her. She’s easygoing with kids and dogs and is happy with or without company.

April, the tabby, is more reserved and prefers a quiet environment. She loves her humans and definitely prefers having a companion—either her sister or another friendly person. Dogs aren’t her favorite.

Come meet these sweet sisters!

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.

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.

Meet the

Squirrel Sisters

— a bonded pair of sweet, gentle girls with the softest rabbit-like fur and the fluffiest squirrel tails. One is a beautiful torbie, and the other is white with soft gray patches.

They’re shy at first, but calm, passive, and very sweet. With a patient home that gives them time to settle in, they’ll continue to blossom together. They’ve also been fostered with a small dog and are very curious about her.

Fixed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Marion is a 6-year-old social butterfly who loves kisses, cuddles, and head nuzzles. She is eager to soak up love and would be over-the-moon to find a family or human to spend the rest of her life with. This amazing girl is very outgoing and will fall in love with you at first meeting; she’ll attach to you like velcro. Marion was abandoned by her prior owner and went without regular meals and the affection she desperately craves. Because of this, she sometimes gets a little overexcited and gnaws on your arm- not hard, but when you slow your petting and talk softly to her, she calms and moves on to tummy rubs, slow blinks…and food. These overexcitement behaviors will subside in time, once she feels secure that she has steady access to your love and companionship. Aside from that, Marion is just about the PERFECT cat. What a lovebug!! She would be a fabulous ESA (emotional support animal).

Meet Oreo (F) and Flower (M), named by a 7 year old in their foster home :). Born in mid-June, These two tuxedos are super sweet with a BIG personalities! They are playful and always ready for fun, games, and plenty of kitten mischief. They are also cuddle bugs and have been fostered with a small dog, kids and other cats. They will make wonderful family pets.

Meet Mary-Kate & Ashley

Mary-Kate and Ashley are beautiful young tabby twins who were rescued from a high-kill shelter with mere moments to spare. Their lives nearly ended before they had truly begun—but thankfully, they made it out just in time and are now ready to find the loving forever home they deserve.

These bonded sisters are gentle, affectionate, and wonderfully mellow. They enjoy playing and exploring together, but they aren’t wild or chaotic kittens. Their calm, easygoing personalities make them lovely companions, and they would do well in a peaceful home with adults or respectful children.
