Meet Dot! This charming brown tabby kitten is ready to steal your heart. Dot was found outside with her siblings, and despite the rough start, she's grown into a bundle of joy with a playful spirit and an affectionate nature.
Personality: Dot is a little explorer with a big heart. She loves to chase toys, pounce on anything that moves, and cuddle up for a nap once she's worn herself out. Her curiosity knows no bounds, and she's always eager to investigate new sights and sounds. When it's time to settle down, Dot is a purring machine who will happily curl up in your lap or beside you on the couch.
Social Skills: Dot is a friendly kitten who gets along well with other cats and would likely adapt to a home with dogs, especially if they're gentle and patient. She's also good with kids and enjoys their playful energy. She's looking for a family who can provide her with plenty of attention, playtime, and a warm spot by their side.
Health: Dot is up to date on her vaccinations, has been dewormed, and is microchipped. She's been checked by a veterinarian and is in excellent health, ready to start her new adventure with a loving family.
What She Needs: Dot would thrive in a home where she can continue to explore and play. She'd love to have toys to keep her entertained and a cozy place to call her own. If you have other pets, Dot will likely make friends quickly, and if you're looking for a new furry family member, she's ready to join you with her boundless enthusiasm and love.

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.
