The Happy Kitty Rescue

Cat rescue in Los Angeles, CA

The Happy Kitty Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue in Los Angeles, California. We rescue and rehabilitate the most at-risk cats, such as neonatal, special needs, medical/trauma, and severe behavioral cases.

We believe that every life, no matter the label, is valuable and deserves a second chance. We are committed to showing every animal that comes through our doors the patience, compassion, and love they deserve.

REQUIREMENTS:
Must be 21+ to apply.

All kitties do best when they have a friend! We typically adopt our young kittens out in pairs. We will only adopt single cats/kittens to homes that already have at least one cat or dog (unless otherwise specified).

PROCESS:​
Once we receive your application, we will conduct a home check over Facetime or Zoom. We ask that every member of your household is present.

To ensure the safety of our fosters, we do not allow meet and greets prior to adoption.

Instead of a meet and greet, we offer a 1-week trial period where you can see if the kitty is a purrfect fit for your home!

Please note that due to the high volume of applications, we will not respond to all applicants.


ADOPTION FEE:
Solo Kitty: $150
Kitty Duo: $200 total ($100 each)

ALL OF OUR KITTIES ARE:
