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.

#A5806165 Sox

Look at this adorable little face!

Sox is a tiny grey kitten with the cutest white blaze on the chest and little white paws.

At just eight weeks old, Sox is understandably a little frightened in the shelter. There was some hissing at first, but once one of our volunteers held this little baby and helped them settle, Sox started purring and then it was time to play!

-Domestic Shorthair — Grey with white blaze and paws

-8 weeks old

-Weighs 2.13 pounds

-Female

Underneath that tiny nervous exterior is a gorgeous, playful kitten who just needs a little reassurance.

A5805070 Clover

Beautiful Clover has the most gorgeous green eyes, but right now she's feeling a little overwhelmed by shelter life. ❤️

This sweet black-and-white girl was owner surrendered on October 9, and she's understandably a little frightened.

She's going to need someone patient who will give her plenty of time to decompress and settle into a new environment. But we did discover something important about Clover...She LOVES treats!

Sometimes the way to a nervous kitty's heart is through her stomach!

15. Hermione

Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tortoiseshell / Mixed (short coat) · 22 mi from Sierra Madre

Hermione, an adult female cat up for adoption

HERMIONE
2-year-old tortoiseshell • Spayed • Vaccinated • Microchipped
Hermione is a tortie on a mission — and that mission is fetch. Laser pointer? She’s on it. Wand toy? Don’t even think about putting it down. She brings the energy, the athleticism, and the absolute conviction that playtime should last longer. She’s the cat who will remind you it’s time to play, and you’ll be glad she did.

But here’s the thing about Hermione: when the day is done, she’s done too — and she wants to cuddle. She’s affectionate, fun, and endlessly entertaining, the kind of cat that fills a home with personality.

16. Winky

Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tortoiseshell / Mixed (short coat) · 22 mi from Sierra Madre

Winky, an adult female cat up for adoption

WINKY
2-year-old tortoiseshell • Spayed • Vaccinated • Microchipped
Winky is the cat you didn’t know you needed — the one who picks your lap and never leaves. This sweet, calm tortie girl is all about cozy vibes: slow mornings, afternoon snuggles, and being thoroughly pet while you watch TV. She doesn’t bite, scratch, or hiss. She just purrs.
She’s a low-drama kitty who thrives in a peaceful home. Got a quiet apartment? A couple who works from home? A teen who wants a chill companion? Winky will fit right in. She does best with adults or older kids who appreciate a lap cat over a playmate — she’s not one for chaos, but if the energy is calm, she’ll be right there asking for treats and chin scratches.
A couple of things to know: Winky likes a tidy litter box area — keep the mat in front clean and she’s perfectly reliable.

Adopting a cat in Sierra Madre

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
