My story

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

Teddy Bear was rescued from the streets, starving and scared. As soon as I got him inside I gave him a warm soft blanket to snuggle into. He started purring and making biscuits immediately, he was so happy and knew he was safe. Teddy Bear is a medium to long haired Maine Coon mix with the cutest white mitten paws. He is an absolute lovebug and wants nothing more than your affection.

Teddy Bear gets along with other cats and I think he would be fine with a cat friendly dog too with the proper introduction. I also think Teddy Bear would be very happy as an only pet, getting all of your love and attention. This cuddly, sweet boy deserves to be treated like King of the Castle after struggling to survive on the streets. He will be super grateful being safe and warm in his furever home and reward you with lots of purrs and affection!

Unfortunately Teddy Bear contracted FIV while on the streets. FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) is not a big concern. Given proper care and attention, an FIV+ cat will live the same lifespan as an FIV negative cat. The disease is extremely hard to transmit from cat to cat, requiring direct blood contact (typically from a deep puncture wound). It is not transmissible to humans. Go to https://resources.bestfriends.org/article/fiv-cats-feline-immunodeficiency-virus-faqs for a basic FAQ.

More about this rescue

Kitten Rescue is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization devoted to finding loving homes for unwanted, homeless cats and kittens. We rescue cats and kittens from the streets of Los Angeles and from City Shelter euthanasia. Since our start in 1997, we have grown into one of the largest, most well-respected animal welfare groups in LA.

Kitten Rescue volunteers adopt out over 2,000 cats and kittens into homes every year. We educate the public about responsible pet guardianship, how to care for kittens and cats, and the importance of spaying and neutering. Kitten Rescue makes educational material available via events, print, school presentations and here on our website. We also provide Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) assistance for communities in and around Los Angeles, and teach people how to manage and care for feral cat colonies.
