Bayou is a tiny ball of endless curiosity and affection. From the moment she wakes up, her playful energy fills the room, making every day brighter. She's the epitome of kitten antics, always finding joy in the simplest things like chasing a toy mouse or pouncing on a dangling string. Bayou is endlessly entertaining and will keep you laughing with her mischievous adventures.
But don't be fooled by her playful exterior; Bayou has a heart as big as her playful spirit. She's a cuddle enthusiast who adores snuggling up in your lap for a cozy nap or curling up beside you as you unwind after a long day. Her gentle purrs are like music to your ears, soothing away stress and filling your home with warmth and love.
Bayou is looking for a forever home filled with love, laughter, and plenty of playtime! She thrives on companionship and would do best in a home where she'll receive lots of attention and affection. Whether you're a single pet parent or part of a bustling family, Bayou will fit right in as long as there's plenty of love to go around.
She's a versatile kitten who can adapt to various living situations, but Bayou would also love the company of another friendly feline friend to romp and play with. That being said, she'd be just as happy as your one and only fur baby.

Additional adoption info
Our adoption process is designed with the pet and the family in mind. We look to make the process as easy and efficient as possible for our adopters, while also preserving the key safeguards that ensure we place our kitties with loving homes they can be sure to stay with forever. Sometimes we may ask for a virtual home visit via video or FaceTime to gain more insight into what kind of kitty will best fit your lifestyle and environment.

More about this rescue
It all started in 2020 when Friends of Normie founder Ladan Davia found a mother cat and six kittens on the side of the road. All of the shelters and rescues she called in hopes of ensuring this feline family’s safety told her to leave them outside or that they were at capacity. So Ladan went to her local hardware store, bought a trap, and set up a makeshift shelter for the seven cats in her bathroom.
Through the local cat network Ladan got connected to Marla, a rescuer with 25 years of rescue experience. Together, they rescued thousands of cats over the next two years, setting the foundation for what Friends of Normie is today. Without a physical facility, Marla and Ladan utilized a network of committed volunteer fosters to give new rescues temporary, loving homes until they were adopted. Along the way, FON harnessed the power of social media to mobilize the Southern California cat community.
This community began to gain traction as more and more people began following its journey. Today, Friends of Normie has over 40,000 followers who support the rescue and collectively help cats get matched with fosters and adopters quickly.
