My story

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

Meet Penelope, a resilient mama cat with a heart full of potential. Rescued from a parking structure in downtown Long Beach near Pine and Fourth Street, this sweet girl has spent her early days protecting her six precious kittens. Mellow and shy, Penelope is learning to trust humans again after enduring a tough start in life. With patience and love, she’s already starting to show her gentle nature and desire to be part of a safe, caring home. Penelope is ready to leave her rough past behind and bloom into the loving companion we know she can be. Are you the one to help her story take a beautiful turn?

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

Paws in the Sand Cat Rescue is a foster based rescue, so all of our adoptable cats reside with their foster families who are located across Orange and LA 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 lifestyle, needs and location.

We have adoption events at Pets Plus in Long Beach on Bellflower Blvd as well as the Culver City location. Those events will be announced via our social media.

More about this rescue

Paws in the Sand Cat Rescue is dedicated to saving the lives of cats in Southern California. Our mission is to rescue cats from high-kill shelters, and rehome abandoned cats, giving them a second chance at life. In addition to rescue and rehoming, we are passionately committed to supporting community cats through Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) services. This humane approach reduces the number of unwanted kittens and promotes healthier cat colonies. By partnering with local shelters, veterinarians and our local community, we aim to create a safer environment for all cats. At Paws in the Sand, we believe every cat deserves a chance. Our work is driven by compassion, dedication, and a commitment to making a lasting impact on the lives of our cat communities.
