A acquaintance i ran into had too many kittens to take care of & needed help finding new homes for them so I took 2 to help out & would love to house them but I’m dealing with health & financial issues that prevent me from providing adequate care to them. They are so cute & only a couple months old so it’s a good time to adopt 1 or both! Ones almost all white & the other is more orange. Pls help me get these 2 a loving home! Thank you!!

Story
Louie is approximately 10 years old and an inside/outside cat. My daughter dropped off Louie about 9 years ago with me because she was moving around and couldn't keep him. Her life has been in turmoil all these years preventing her from taking Louie back or providing a home for him. I've been taking good care of him but now I'm 75 years old and need more flexibility in traveling and selling my home to move to senior housing.

Story
We first adopted Alice from our local shelter when she was just a kitten, she is now 4 years old. Unfortunately, our family doesn’t have enough time anymore to give her the love and attention she deserves. Alice lives with her brother Romeo, who is also up for adoption. We would prefer to have them adopted together as they are a bonded pair. Please check out his profile as well! Alice needs some time to warm up to strangers, but once she does she is the biggest cuddle bug! She enjoys pets and loves to sit on your lap and make biscuits. Once Alice is familiar with you, she also is very talkative and likes being called pretty! She is also not the most active cat, as most of her time is spent taking naps on a comfy blanket. We hope you can provide her a new loving home!

Story
Pampered Pair Max and Katie are 13-year-old littermates, and a bonded pair. They have always been together and need to stay together in a new forever home. This pair were the pampered pets of a longtime Laguna Woods resident who has had to move into memory care. Max is darker and has tabby stripes; Katie is more tortie with some warm brown in her soft fur. Both have large greenish eyes. Vet-checked and current on shots, Max and Katie have been through a lot of changes, and depend on each other. They cuddle together and groom each other. Katie is more shy, and in stressful situations it seems to calm her to have Max nearby. Max is outgoing, and both are friendly. They do like petting and grooming attention from people. Both will roll over for a nice tummy rub. Max and Katie are nice laid-back cats who don't get into mischief. They're not interested in jumping on things. They both love their catnip scratcher boxes. Katie can be a talker and she often chatters to herself or to her foster. They seem content to hang out, relax, and nap, which makes them easy pets to care for and love. To meet Max and Katie, call/text Gina Hall at 949-330-0892.

Story
Big Soft Boy GreyGrey's human best friend needed to move away for more care, so GreyGrey needs a new home and new best friend. GreyGrey's short hair is a lovely light gray with subtle tabby markings throughout. He's quite handsome, with large greenish eyes and bright white whiskers. GreyGrey's 12 years old and a large, soft cat. He has been neutered, is current on his shots, has been vet-checked, and has no health issues. A calm and independent cat guy, GreyGrey does like some affection. At night he jumps up on the bed of his foster and likes to sleep near her. He used to curl up on the lap of his longtime human friend. He's a talker who lets you know when he wants attention but otherwise goes about his business of relaxing. To meet GreyGrey, contact Sally North at 818-326-9526 or snorth223@gmail.com. You'll be glad you did!

Story
We took in a stray female cat who was pregnant (surprise!) and had a litter of 4. There are three female domestic short hair tabbies and Lucca who is a male black and white kitten. He was born August 26, 2024 and has been raised in a Loving home with his mother and sisters. He is such a mellow cat who loves to just observe his surroundings when he is not playing. Ideally, we would love to home him with his Sister Crazy because they are besties. They are in the box together in photo 3.

Story
We took in a stray female cat who was pregnant (surprise!) and had a litter of 4. Crazy is one of three female domestic short hair tabbies and Lucca, a male black and white, who is her bestie. She was born August 26, 2024 and has been raised in a loving home with her mother, two sisters and brother. Ideally, we would love to rehome her with her brother Lucca who is also listed on the adoptapet website (Pet ID (xxx) xxx-xxxx ). They are together in the two photos. We named her Crazy because she was the first one to open her eyes, walk, climb out of their birthing enclosure and absolutely loves people. Don't let her name scare you she is amazing and will cuddle with you immediately.
