5. Quicksilver
Kitten (5 months 6 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 4 mi from Signal Hill



Quicksilver is a beautiful silver tabby boy who was found all alone in a parking lot. We have no idea where he came from or how he got there, but we're glad he's safe. He's shy at first, and needs a patient family who will give him the time to bloom at his own pace. He loves to be petted and is crazy about treats! He'd love to be adopted into a home with his best friend Odysseus or another young kitty he can wrestle and snuggle with.
6. Odysseus
Kitten (6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 4 mi from Signal Hill






Handsome kitten Odysseus was found roaming around outside a movie theater all by himself. It took us over a month to track down and catch our little epic adventurer! We were worried that he would be too old to learn to love humans, but he has decided to trade in his life of a wanderer for life as a pampered house cat. He's still a bit shy, but he LOVES being petted and has an amazing purr when you rub his cheeks and ears. He's a very playful and curious boy and would love to be adopted with his best friend Quicksilver or into a home with another young kitty he can snuggle and wrestle with.

From the moment they arrived, they received everything they needed to grow into healthy, happy kittens. They were immediately bathed, examined, dewormed, treated for fleas, and given high-quality kitten milk and nutritious wet food. They have never been raised in cages. They live with us as part of the family, which has helped them become confident, social, affectionate, and wonderfully well-adjusted.
What truly makes Sweet Pea and Purrcy special is their incredible disposition. They are two of the friendliest, gentlest, happiest, most loving kittens you could ever meet. They purr almost nonstop, adore attention, and are completely comfortable being handled and loved by people. They are playful and entertaining, but they are also incredibly sweet and content to cuddle close.
They have been around dogs and other cats and would make amazing companions for someone looking for two affectionate, family-oriented kittens. Sweet Pea and Percy share a beautiful bond, and we would love to see them adopted together so they can continue growing up side by side.

Young · Female · Manx (short coat) · 4 mi from Signal Hill




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!

14. Kitten Calypso
Kitten (4 months 21 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Signal Hill




Hi, my name is Calypso. I was four months old when I was rescued from an overcrowded shelter. Something was wrong with my eyes, they were tiny slits, and I could not see with them. It seems I was born that way, but the rest of me is fine. I had surgery to remove both my eyes, and now I am fully recovered and ready for my forever home. I may be a little timid when I first meet new people, but I like attention and pets. My lack of vision is not slowing me down one bit. I am a very active kitten, and I love to play and run around. I have no any trouble finding my food or my litter box. I just need a home where my things stay in the same place so I can find them. I have lots of love to give, and I hope to find a home soon.

15. Mitzi
Adult (1 year) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Signal Hill




Hi, my name is Mitzi. I am a very friendly girl, so I think I had a home once. I wandered into a yard, and the lady thought her dogs might hurt me, so she brought me to SBACC. I am a very active cat who still has lots of kitten energy. I love to run around, explore, and play. I am also talkative and will let you know when I want something. In addition to being friendly, I am affectionate and enyoy being held and cuddled. Some people might say I am the purrfect cat, so I expect to find my forever home very, very soon. And, BTW, I am also pretty cute.

16. Taylor
Adult (1 year) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Signal Hill


Hi, my name is Taylor. I was left behind when my person moved, and I spent weeks hanging out in a backyard. She noticed something strange on my nose and was not sure whether it was an injury or an infection, but she did not want it to get worse, so she brought me to SBACC. The vet checked me out and even did a skin biopsy, which showed no parasitic infections, but they said I probably had flea or other insect bites. It is taking me a little while to get used to life at SBACC, and I am just starting to emerge from the cubby that I have been hiding in. I am a really friendly cat, and I like people and pets. I am not looking my best right now because of my nose injury, but it is starting to get better, and I know I will be looking great pretty soon. I am hoping for a forever home before the holidays.

17. Bella
Adult (5 years 2 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Calico / Mixed (medium coat) · 7 mi from Signal Hill




Hi, my name is Bella. I was rescued from an overcrowded shelter and brought to SBACC. It was obvious that I was very pregnant, and I delivered six kittens in my foster home the very next day. Sadly, one of them did not survive, but the other five have grown into happy, healthy kittens and will soon be ready for their forever homes. I took very good care of my kittens, but I am now done with motherhood and ready to be loved and pampered in my own home. My foster Mom says that I am the sweetest cat you will ever meet. I am very vocal and love to chat with my people, always letting you know when I want attention. More than anything, I love curling up in your lap and soaking up all the cuddles I can get. If you are looking for a loving companion who wants to be by your side, I am the perfect lap cat and will happily keep you company every chance I get.

Kitten (3 months 23 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Signal Hill


Hi, my name is Latte. I was eight weeks old when an SBACC volunteer rescued me from the wheel well of a car. After coming to SBACC I went to a foster home with another orphaned kitten. I am a shy but affectionate boy. I will hide when I’m feeling insecure. Once I warm up to my environment I become a sweet and affectionate kitty. I like to play and would love to cuddle up next to you and I purr when I am happy. I never scratch or bite and I am good with other cats and kids! I would do best in a quiet home and with someone with patience who will wait for me to come out of my shell and be the loving kitten that I am.

19. Lenore Dove
Adult (5 years) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Signal Hill




Hi, my name is Lenore Dove, and I am a survivor. I had been abused, but luckily I was rescued and brought to SBACC. Someone who feeds feral cats found me. I had been dumped in a colony of ferals, and she knew I was in bad shape and did not belong there. I had a severely damaged eye that ruptured and had to be removed, and I had bruising on my abdomen and chest that looked like I had been kicked. I also had sores and scabs on my neck and head. I am a bit shy and timid, but I warm up quickly to quiet, gentle people. The people who care for me at SBACC say I am very sweet. I am hoping to find a home where I will be safe and loved forever and ever.

Adult (2 years 1 month) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tuxedo / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Signal Hill


Hi, my name is Henna. I was rescued from an abandoned property along with my two kittens. They went to a foster home, but I stayed at SBACC. I was not in very good shape. I had a severely damaged eye that had to be removed, and I have a significant head tilt. Some specialists have checked it out, and they think it’s due to an ear infection and some inner ear issues. It might be with me forever. Despite this, I am a very friendly girl and a ball of energy. I am hoping for a forever home, and I would probably do best as an only cat.

Adopting a cat in Signal Hill
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.
