Hello there, I'm Mystic. I'm a sweet, affectionate kitty, though I can be a bit shy at first. I enjoy my independence, but I also cherish the company of companionship. I'd love a quiet home, where I can relax and be myself, and where everyone is over the age of 8.

If you’re looking for a steady sidekick, that’s me! I don’t go looking for trouble, but I’m no scaredy-cat either. I like attention. I can manage my solitude. If you are looking for a friend like me to travel with you on the road of life, look no further.

Adopt me today!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and we want to share a few important tips for ensuring our furry friends have a safe and happy holiday, too.

Avoid giving your pets the following foods:

🚫 No Turkey Bones or Skin – These can be choking hazards or cause digestive issues.

🚫 Avoid Onions, Garlic, and Chives – Toxic to pets, even in small amounts.

🚫 Say No to Rich Foods – Avoid fatty sides like mashed potatoes, stuffing, and gravy, which can upset their stomachs.

🚫 Skip the Sweets – Chocolate, raisins, and artificial sweeteners (like xylitol) are dangerous for pets.

👍Make sure your pet has a cozy, quiet space to escape the holiday hustle and bustle.

It’s National Slobber Appreciation Day!

Today, we're celebrating ALL the lovable licks, gooey grins, and wet-nosed wonders that bring us so much joy! At the Irvine Animal Care Center, we know a little slobber is just one of the many ways our furry friends show us their love, loyalty, and excitement.

Are you a slobber fan? Drop a ❤️ if you don’t mind the mess and think slobbery kisses are the best kind of kisses! Every wag, purr, and slobbery kiss reminds us that these animals just want a family to love.

Swing by the Irvine Animal Care Center to meet some adorable friends who’d love to shower you with slobbery affection waiting to find their forever homes! 🏠

Aldo came to us as a stray, unable to walk, with multiple wounds to his face and chest. Enhanced Care surgery was required to treat his injuries, including repairing a broken femur using a titanium plate and screws.

Foster Care volunteers nurtured him back to health and began the work of teaching this shy boy that it was safe to trust. He is thriving now in his forever home.

Aldo’s care, as well as the care of many in our center, was possible because of the generous support of our community. The Irvine Animal Care Center Holiday Donation Drive is underway through January 15. Your donation provides critical support to animals in need, bringing animals like Aldo closer to a safe, loving home.

Check out this pawsome purr-sonality, Emerson!

This charming kitty has a gentle temperament—he’s a little shy at first but warms up to be quite the cuddle buddy. Once he’s comfortable, he loves playtime just as much as quiet moments by your side. Emerson would thrive in a calm, patient home with family members over the age of eight.
