My story

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

Gallo is a strikingly beautiful black cat with a quiet and reserved personality. He was found wandering the streets. Despite his initial shyness, Gallo has shown immense potential for trust and companionship.

Personality Traits:
Gallo is a thoughtful observer, often found perched in a cozy corner, watching the world with curious amber eyes. He enjoys the peaceful moments and takes comfort in the familiarity of routine. Gallo is not demanding but appreciates gentle attention and soft-spoken voices. His sweet nature emerges gradually, especially when he feels safe and secure.

Ideal Home:
Gallo would thrive in a calm and patient household where he can adjust at his own pace. He would do well in a quiet environment with adults or older children who understand his need for space initially. Gallo might benefit from having another cat companion who can show him the ropes and help boost his confidence.

Health:
Gallo is in good health, fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He has been examined by a veterinarian and is ready for his forever home.

Why Adopt Gallo?
Gallo has so much love to give, waiting patiently for the right person to open their heart to him. Behind his shy demeanor lies a gentle soul who deserves a chance to blossom into a beloved companion. By adopting Gallo, you're not just gaining a cat; you're offering him the promise of a safe and loving home where he can truly thrive.

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.

Friends of Normie is an entirely foster based rescue so all of our adoptable cats reside with their foster families who are located across Orange, LA, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties. We have a kitty for every family and locale, so we will work to match you with a feline friend who matches both your desires and your location.

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.
