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.

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.

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 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.

Calypso “Cal”

Meet Cal — a sweet orange tabby with the gentlest soul and, somehow, the patience of a saint.

Cal has been returned twice, alongside his sister, and not because of anything either of them did wrong. His first adoption ended after a major health scare made it clear that his adopter simply wasn’t able to provide the care they needed. His second adopter promised it would be forever — but apparently a new job and a new boyfriend were enough to change those plans. And once again, Cal and his sister were the ones left packing their bags.

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.

Meet Sammy – The Big Brother

Sammy is proof that second chances can change everything.

He was rescued from a high-intake shelter just moments before he was scheduled to be euthanized. A tiny bottle baby without his mom, his future looked uncertain—but thanks to a dedicated foster family, he was given the chance to grow up safe, loved, and cherished.

As Sammy grew, he found himself taking on a new role: big brother. When another litter of orphaned bottle babies needed a family, Sammy welcomed them with open paws, growing up alongside them and showing them the ropes. He's been the patient, playful older sibling to this lively crew ever since.

Portia

Meet Portia — a gorgeous calico girl with just the right amount of sass and a whole lot of sweetness.

Like her brother Cal, Portia has been returned twice, and not because of anything she did wrong. She and her brother have simply had an incredibly unfair run of bad luck with people who weren’t able to make the lifetime commitment they deserved.

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.

Meet Manxine - a cutie patootie with a troubled booty!
Manxine is a super sweet and affectionate 1yo girl with manx syndrome. She’s very confident and loves to meet new people cuz new people means more pets and cuddles! She enjoys all forms of affection including being picked up and held! She’s very active and playful, always hopping around like a little bunny to chase after toys which is absolutely adorable to watch.
She has a mild case of manx syndrome so while she is able to go to the bathroom on her own and use the litter box , she occasionally may get out of the litter box before she has completely finished pooping. She may be seem like more work than the average non-manx kitty, but her amazing personality and sweet, loving nature makes it totally worth it!

Meet Sharky & Chili (current names under foster care - subject to change)

These cute boys were just
2 weeks old
when they were dumped at a shelter. At that age, kittens require around-the-clock bottle feeding, and because the shelter didn’t have the resources to provide that level of care, they were automatically placed on the euthanasia list that very day.

Thankfully, they were rescued just in time and welcomed into the loving hands of an incredible bottle-feeding foster. From fragile babies fighting for a chance at life, they’ve grown into healthy, happy little adventurers.

Meet Baby Dory! Like her namesake, Dory’s story began with a big adventure. She was discovered trapped inside a grate, where she and her siblings had been stuck for at least two days while their mama desperately meowed nearby for help. By the time a kind Good Samaritan rescued her in the middle of the night, her mom and siblings had disappeared, leaving little Dory alone in a box.

Thankfully, Dory’s luck changed when one of our incredible fosters stepped in and bottle-fed her, giving her all the love and care she needed to thrive. Today, she’s a healthy, happy, and absolutely fearless little girl.

Tilli is a sweet 10–12 week old kitten with a big heart and an even bigger story.

This little girl was discovered crying from inside an outdoor HVAC unit, all alone and desperately asking for help. Thankfully, a kind neighbor came to her rescue, and since then Tilli has shown everyone just how loving and resilient she is.

Tilli is affectionate, playful, and full of kitten charm. She loves attention, enjoys being around people, and is quickly learning that the world can be a safe and happy place. Whether she’s chasing toys, exploring her surroundings, or curling up for a nap, she brings joy wherever she goes.
