My story

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

Dawn is a charming little gentleman with a striking black and white coat that makes him look like he's always dressed for a special occasion! His expressive eyes and playful nature make him a delightful companion. Whether he's chasing after a feather toy or curling up for a cozy nap, Dawn brings a spark of joy to everyone he meets.

Personality:

Playful: Dawn is full of energy and loves interactive toys. Watch him pounce and leap with boundless enthusiasm, and you'll see just how much fun a kitten can be.
Affectionate: He has a gentle and loving side too. Dawn enjoys cuddles and will happily snuggle up with you after a day of play. His purrs are like a soothing melody, making him the perfect lap kitty.
Curious: Always eager to explore, Dawn is the perfect partner for discovering new corners of your home. His inquisitive nature means he'll keep you entertained with his little adventures.
Ideal Home:

Dawn would thrive in a home where he can get plenty of attention and playtime. He's great with families and would do well with children who understand how to handle kittens gently. While he's young, he's also adaptable and can adjust to various living situations, whether it's a bustling household or a quieter environment.

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.
