Our organization was started because our local animal shelter does not have space for abandoned and/or lost pets. Laguna Woods is a retirement community and our residents often end up going to assisted living or passing away, and kitties are left homeless. There was a real need for someone to step up and fill this need, so we established a network of foster homes and a website and a petfinder site to advertise our kitties needing homes. We provide an initial vet exam immediately and pay for services including medical care, shots, spay and neuter, etc.

We serve an area extending from Los Angeles to San Diego, California... an area of about 200 miles. Most of our adoptions take place in Irvine, Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Aliso Viejo, Mission Viejo, San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente.
Additional adoption info
Anyone interested in adopting or fostering a cat should see https://lagunawoodscatclub.com for information. We ask for an adoption donation of at least $50. We have a two page information form and do a preliminary home visit. Our adopters must promise to keep the kitty as an indoor only pet and must agree to return the kitty to our organization if they can no longer care for it.
