My story

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

Liona is the Sweetest girl. She is being surrendered by her family because she hates dogs and they feel she is stressed. She is great with other cats or could be a solo cat. They wrote this bio for her:

One day Liona got out and disappeared. She is an indoor cat, so we assumed she didnt know how to come back home. It turns out A neighbor a few blocks away kept her for a year. I guess her breakaway collar broke off.
She was returned to me after a year. During that time she lived with another cat and stayed indoors always!
In the time she was away from me, I got a puppy and she doesn't like the dog. She spends most of her time from us unless he is gone. I want her to get the love she deserves. She really likes when she is alone with my mom. Spends a lot of time getting pets and snuggles but there is no dog there and my mom can't take the responsibility as she travels quite a bit. We want her to have a home that loves her spoils her and gives her love, she is such a sweet girl who doesnt have a bad bone in her body.

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.
