Say hello to Phoenix, our charming brown tabby with a personality as warm as his fur! At just a year old, Phoenix is a handsome gentleman with a playful streak and a heart full of love. His striking stripes and expressive eyes make him a standout companion.
Phoenix is a curious and adventurous spirit, always eager to explore and discover new things. His playful antics are sure to bring a smile to your face-whether he's chasing after a toy or playfully pouncing on a crinkly ball, he's never short on enthusiasm.
Despite his lively nature, Phoenix also has a soft side. He loves to unwind with a good cuddle session and will happily curl up on your lap for some quality purring time. His affectionate nature makes him a wonderful companion for anyone looking to add a little extra warmth to their life.

Likes:
Playing with interactive toys
Exploring new areas (he's quite the adventurer!)

Ideal Home:
Phoenix would thrive in a loving home where he can get plenty of playtime and attention. He's adaptable and would do well with other pets, especially if they are friendly and enjoy playing. A family with a bit of patience and lots of love to give would be ideal for this sweet boy. He'd be a great addition to a home where he can be both a playful buddy and a snugly companion.
Special Note:
Phoenix may need a little time to adjust to new surroundings, but with a bit of patience and understanding, he'll quickly become a beloved member of your family. His playful energy and affectionate nature will make every day brighter.

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.
