My story

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

Goat is a gentle and shy soul with a heart of gold. Initially reserved, Goat takes his time to warm up to new environments and people. Once he trusts you, he's incredibly sweet and affectionate, enjoying gentle pets and quiet moments together. Goat loves to observe his surroundings from cozy spots, showing a curious nature tempered with a cautious approach. He's not one to demand attention but appreciates a calm and loving presence.

Background:
Goat was found as a stray and brought into foster, where he has been patiently waiting for his forever home. Despite his shy demeanor, Goat has shown resilience and a willingness to trust again. He's hoping to find a quiet and understanding family who will give him the time and space he needs to blossom into the confident cat he has the potential to be.

Ideal Home:

Quiet Environment: A calm household without loud noises or frequent visitors would suit Goat best.
Patience and Understanding: A family willing to give Goat the time he needs to adjust and build trust.
Indoor Living: Given his shy nature, Goat would thrive in an indoor-only environment where he feels safe and secure.
Affection and Love: Although he may be shy at first, Goat will reward patience with loyalty and affection.

If you're interested in giving Goat a loving forever home, please contact Friends of Normie at chloe@friendsofnormie.org and fill out an adoption application. Come meet Goat and see if he might be the perfect companion for you!

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.

Go meet their pets

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.
