Kimiko is a small tuxedo cat whose markings have gone awry.From the splotches on her face to the dime-sized white spot on her black bottom, her markings create a comically cute, pint-sized cat. Her small size means that she eats half the amount of food of a large cat and she can use a space-saving litter box. Kimiko is very food-motivated and is not a picky eater. She gets particularly excited about breakfast and may get restless waiting for it. You might hear an occasional soft meow as she waits for her first meal of the day. As a rescued feral cat, Kimiko has made huge progress. While she doesn't like being put in carrying cases, Kimiko travels well and has gone three hours in a car. At home, she loves being petted, purring loudly to show her appreciation. Brushing is another activity she enjoys along with playing with small plush toys. Kimiko loves sleeping on the bed with her person and cuddling on the sofa. She is timid and may take about 3 weeks before she begins jumping on beds for snuggling. Kimiko will require a patient, experienced cat owner and a calm environment with no dogs or children. Once she becomes accustomed to her new surroundings and begins to trust you, Kimiko is an affectionate cat whose bug-eyed expressions and playful nature will win you over.

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.
