1. Savanah

Young (8 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 14 mi from Torrance

On Mother’s Day, Savannah was found on the front stoop of an apartment scared to death. Savanah had made it indoors and into an open mailbox to hide. That’s when the person who found her brought her home.

Read more about Savanah

The first two weeks, Savanah hid in the closet and under her bed. Since then, she has been spending more and more time in the living room with rescuer, the other cats, and a frenchie. She no longer hides! She’s NOT needy at all, doesn’t demand attention, and finally enjoys being pet and purrs easily. She cuddles up on the bed whenever she gets a chance. She’s a very sweet soul! No behavior concerns and is low/mid energy. She spends her time birdwatching from the windowsill. With just a bit of patience and love, she should warm up to any calm and loving home in no time.

This is a courtesy post for Savannah's finder. Please fill out an application if you are interested in adopting her and it will be sent to the finder so she can contact you.

2. Kitten Abu

Kitten (2 months 21 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Torrance

Hi, my name is Abu. My three sibs and I were six weeks old when we were abandoned and left on a porch. We were brought to SBACC and Ariel. I went to one foster home, and our other sister and brother went to a different foster home. Ariel and I have become very attached to each other. We love to play and snuggle together and love our tunnels and Amazon boxes. We also enjoyed playing with the older cats in our foster home. A neighbor visited with her dogs a few times, and we were fine with them. We also did fine with little kids who visited. When tuckered out from playing, we enjoy long naps, then wake up and start playing again. We are cuddly lap cats, now ready for our forever homes, and we hope to stay together. We are together in three of the pics.

4. Rosy

Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair · 20 mi from Torrance

Meet Rosy

This little foundling was dumped at a church—but thankfully, she found safe haven with a kindhearted rescuer who refused to leave her behind.

Rosy is now saying her prayers for a true forever home—and hoping someone special will become her savior.

At just 5 to 6 months old, Rosy is a sweet, social little girl who gets along beautifully with other cats and even lives peacefully with a senior Chihuahua. She is playful, curious, affectionate, and ready to bring endless joy and companionship to a loving family.

Rosy has already been abandoned once. Now she needs someone who will answer her prayers and promise that she will never be left behind again.

5. Carmen

Adult · Female · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 20 mi from Torrance

Meet Carmen

Carmen first came to us after being abandoned in a duffel bag alongside two different litters of kittens. Still little more than a kitten herself, she raised every one of her babies with patience, devotion, and quiet strength. After giving so much of herself, it should finally be Carmen’s turn to be someone’s whole world.

Read more about Carmen

Sadly, Carmen has been returned to us again. She has now experienced the heartbreak of losing several homes—not because she isn’t loving, but because none of them proved to be the right lifelong fit. This time, we are determined to find someone who truly understands her and is committed to giving her the stability she deserves.

According to her original foster, Carmen is “one of the most loving and affectionate cats she has ever known.” When Carmen feels safe and has a space to call her own, her personality blossoms. She seeks out attention and happily soaks up pets, affection, and companionship. She may not enjoy being picked up, but once you understand and respect her preferences, her love is incredibly genuine and rewarding.

Carmen’s most recent adopter reported some incidents of biting sock-covered feet, as well as grabbing, biting, and wrestling with arms or legs when she became overstimulated. We believe these behaviors may have been related to overzealous play, overstimulation, or redirected energy or aggression—not a lack of affection or an inherently aggressive temperament. They do not erase the deeply loving cat her fosters and volunteers know her to be, but they do mean Carmen needs a calm, patient, cat-savvy person who can recognize her signals, redirect her energy appropriately, respect her boundaries, and give her space when she needs it.

While other cats are not Carmen’s favorite thing, she has peacefully coexisted with cats at the adoption center. We believe she would be happiest as the only cat in her home, where she can relax and enjoy having her person and her space to herself. However, a home with another calm, respectful cat may be considered if the environment and personalities are truly the right fit.

She has also lived peacefully with a calm senior dog who largely ignored her, so she may do well with a similarly quiet, respectful dog who won’t pressure her to interact.

Carmen may not be the right cat for every household—but for the right person, she could be everything. She loves deeply, in her own language and on her own terms, and there is something incredibly special about earning the trust of a cat like her.

After surviving abandonment, raising two litters, and repeatedly losing the homes she thought were forever, Carmen deserves stability. She deserves to be chosen with intention, understood for exactly who she is, and loved for the rest of her life.

She deserves to finally come home.

7. Cal

Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 20 mi from Torrance

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.

Read more about Cal

They deserve so much better. They deserve a home where they are cherished, celebrated, and loved for the incredible cats they are — not treated as disposable when life changes.

Cal is an absolute sweetheart. He’s affectionate, intelligent, gentle, and wonderfully even-tempered. And despite being an orange boy, he manages to keep his orange-boy antics to a minimum. He’s easygoing, social, and just an all-around fantastic guy.

This little lad came from a LARGE brood, born to an amazing mama named Meadow, who did an incredible job raising her babies to be the very best kittens around. Cal loves to play with everyone and is happiest when he gets to be part of the action. He’s the kind of cat who makes life better simply by being in it.

After everything he’s been through, Cal is still sweet. Still trusting. Still ready to love.

Now he just needs someone who will finally make good on the word forever. ❤️

Cal is looking for a loving, committed forever home — one that will stick with him through life’s changes and celebrate him for the wonderful cat he is.

Name: Calypso “Cal”
Personality: Gentle, affectionate, intelligent, playful & easygoing
Looking for: A true forever home

Because Cal shouldn’t have to wonder if he’s finally home. He should know.

8. Sammy

Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 20 mi from Torrance

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.

Read more about Sammy

Now it's Sammy's turn to find a forever family of his very own.

Still a young cat himself, Sammy has all the playful energy, curiosity, and affectionate nature that make young cats such wonderful companions. Whether he's chasing toys, exploring every nook and cranny, or curling up after a busy day of adventures, Sammy is happiest when he's sharing life with those he loves.

Because he's always had feline companions, Sammy would likely love to be adopted with one of his younger "siblings" or into a home with another friendly cat who can be his playmate and best friend.

Sammy has spent his life helping other kittens feel safe. Now he's ready to discover what it's like to be the one who's cherished every single day. Could your family be the happy ending he's been waiting for?

Nico is ready to begin the next chapter of her story—with a family to call her own. She's part of a beautiful litter of six kittens who are growing up quickly and learning something new every day.

11. Sweet Pea & Purrcy

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 10 mi from Torrance

❤️Meet Sweet Pea & Purrcy — Two Little Lovebugs Looking for Their Forever Home
Sweet Pea and Purrcy are an exceptionally loving pair of kittens with hearts as big as their purrs. They were rescued at approximately four weeks old along with four other kittens and have been lovingly cared for in our home ever since.
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.
Their adoption fee is $275 for the pair. They will be:

Spayed and neutered
Fully vaccinated with their FVRCP vaccines
Dewormed
Treated for fleas
Microchipped
Sent home with a complete medical record

The adoption fee helps offset a portion of their veterinary and rescue costs while allowing us to continue saving homeless cats and kittens in our community.
What also makes our rescue unique is that our support does not end on adoption day. We stay in touch, help Sweet Pea and Purrcy adjust to their new home, and are available to answer questions or address concerns during the transition. Our goal is not simply to place kittens, but to make sure the adoption is a wonderful and lasting fit for both the kittens and their new family.
Every time a pair like Sweet Pea and Purrcy finds a loving forever home, space opens in our rescue and foster homes for two more vulnerable kittens waiting to be saved.
Please consider meeting this extraordinary little pair. You will not be disappointed. Sweet Pea and Percy are ready to fill their forever home with nonstop purrs, gentle cuddles, joyful play, and endless hours of love and entertainment.
If you’re ready to welcome these adorable loving kittens into your life, we’d love you to meet us!

15. Portia

Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 20 mi from Torrance

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.

Read more about Portia

Her first adoption ended after a major health scare with Cal made it clear that her adopter wasn’t able to provide the care they needed. The second adopter promised it would be forever — but a new job and a new boyfriend apparently changed the equation. And once again, Portia and her brother were the ones left behind.

None of this is their fault. They deserve a family who understands that adopting a cat means committing to them through all of life’s changes — not just when it’s convenient.

Portia is a calico through and through: she’s got opinions, she’s got personality, and she’s absolutely not afraid to let you know what she thinks. But underneath that sassy little exterior is an incredibly sweet, affectionate girl who loves her people and has so much love to give.

She came from a LARGE brood, raised by an amazing mama named Meadow, who took such good care of her babies and raised them to be the very best kittens around. Portia loves to play, enjoys being part of the action, and is an all-around fun, loving companion.

She’s sassy but SWEET, playful but affectionate, and full of personality — exactly what you want in a calico girl. ❤️

After being let down twice, Portia deserves a home that will finally show her what forever actually means.

A home where her sass is celebrated. Her sweetness is cherished. And her place in the family is never in question.

Portia is ready for her forever. And this time, we want it to really be forever. ❤️

Kitten · Male · Russian Blue / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Torrance

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.

Read more about Sharky

Today, Sharky and Chili are everything you could want in kittens:
curious, playful, fearless, and full of personality.
They spend their days chasing toys, wrestling with each other, and exploring every corner they can find. But once they’re done causing adorable chaos, they’re more than happy to curl up in your lap for a nap and remind you just how sweet they are.

Having been raised by humans since they were tiny, they are affectionate, social, and thrive on companionship. They share a special bond and would love to continue their adventures together.

These boys were given a second chance at life. Now they’re looking for the family that will give them the happily ever after they deserve

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 20 mi from Torrance

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.

Read more about Dory

Dory is sweet, affectionate, and full of nonstop kitten antics. She loves to play, explore, climb, and then curl up for cuddles when she’s finally worn herself out. She’s wonderful with kids, gets along great with other cats, and would likely do well with cat-friendly dogs.

Because she’s still a baby with endless energy, Dory
must
go to a home with another young, playful kitten or be adopted with a feline friend. She’s looking for a partner in crime who can keep up with her zoomies and help her grow into a confident adult cat.

After surviving such a difficult start, Dory deserves a lifetime of love, laughter, and adventure.

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 20 mi from Torrance

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.

Read more about Tilli

Tilli did receive a positive FIV test as a very young kitten, but kittens tested at this age can sometimes carry maternal antibodies that result in false positives. Because of this, her status remains uncertain until she can be retested when she’s older.

For now, Tilli is simply looking for what every kitten deserves: a loving family to call her own.

Bringing a cat home to your dog

Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.

Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
