We really, desperately need all hands on deck. We need a family who has a heart big enough to adopt this 1.5 year old kitty.
This is Taji. She’s a mama cat who Mary saved from an extremely dangerous area. We took her and her kittens (who have all been adopted) in, but Taji has been extremely shut down since being in her new foster home. When we went to get Taji, she was extremely friendly, loved being pet and played with toys. Taji LOVES other cats (as you can see in the videos as you swipe). But the foster cats in her current foster home are bullying her and she has been completely shut down.
Taji is very very shy at first. She needs a family who will help open her up and make her feel SAFE. We have all seen this movie before, where a cat is so emotionally broken and just needs love and time from a special person so that they can be themselves. We are desperately looking for a family who will give her that chance. Taji is one of the most special girls with a beautiful round face and gorgeous markings. She is so well behaved, never misses her litter box, and is a quiet little girl. She is very small and dainty and fully vetted and healthy.
Please help us find her a family.

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.
