My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This beautiful short hair tabby was found in a local cat colony by the foster. She was left behind by renters years ago and shows signs of abuse, but she is still willing to open her heart. Brave, quirky, cute, loving, and saucy, Katniss likes to play with her human and her toys. She enjoys cuddle time but is also independent. She's affectionate, loves being pet, and will come sit next to you but doesn't enjoy being picked very much. She's vocal and loves good food and music ranging from Cubano to Opera and Classical Spanish Guitar. She is lower maintenance and cleaner compared to some of the other cats under foster care and would thrive with an experienced cat adopter.

She has tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). FIV is not a big deal; given proper care and attention, an FIV+ cat will live the same lifespan as an FIV negative cat. The disease is extremely hard to transmit from cat to cat, requiring direct blood contact (typically from a deep puncture wound). It is not transmissable to humans. Click here for a basic FAQ about FIV. If you'd like to read a much more detailed and comprehensive FAQ about FIV, we recommend this site https://resources.bestfriends.org/article/fiv-cats-feline-immunodeficiency-virus-faqs

More about this rescue

Kitten Rescue is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization devoted to finding loving homes for unwanted, homeless cats and kittens. We rescue cats and kittens from the streets of Los Angeles and from City Shelter euthanasia. Since our start in 1997, we have grown into one of the largest, most well-respected animal welfare groups in LA.

Kitten Rescue volunteers adopt out over 2,000 cats and kittens into homes every year. We educate the public about responsible pet guardianship, how to care for kittens and cats, and the importance of spaying and neutering. Kitten Rescue makes educational material available via events, print, school presentations and here on our website. We also provide Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) assistance for communities in and around Los Angeles, and teach people how to manage and care for feral cat colonies.
