Limon is spending the night at socalanimalhospital_. “They are thinking it is brachial plexus avulsion. There is severe nerve damage. They want to give him a steroid injection and see how he does over the next couple days, usually severe cases do end up with a leg amputation, but only time will tell.” This update and video brought to you by Bri. She also says his little spicy self is warming up quickly. She’s one of our fabulous fosters and also employed by SoCal. Thank you Bri! ❤️🐱

Meet Limon! This little man was found in the gutter on Limonite near where the golf course used to be. Despite the fact that his front right leg is dangling he gave me quite the run this morning. 🐈‍⬛🏃‍♀️Lucky for him, I was already heading to socalanimalhospital_ to see Dr. Means with another cat. He’s going to get an evaluation and we will see what he needs. Looks like he fell from an engine compartment onto the road. We’ll update when we know more. ❤️🐱

Meet Tux! He was part of a TNR’d group of kitties that were abandoned on a property. The trapper/foster mom noticed how friendly he was and decided to try to find him a forever home instead of releasing him to fend for himself.
Tux’s approximate dob is 5-27-2024.

Tux has been enjoying the indoor life at his foster mom’s home. He uses the litter box faithfully and enjoys the other kitties through a screened off room. You can tell he wants to get to know them better. So far, he's been calm and plays gently. He enjoys the catnip mice and other small toys/balls that he can either carry or bat around.

He follows his foster mom around and does not try to escape back outside! He LOVES to be brushed. It’s unknown whether he has been around children or dogs. He’s getting better at being held but would prefer to worship you at your feet! He responds well to patience and wants to be loved!

Tux’s adoption fee is $50. He is fully vetted meaning: neutered, microchipped, vaccinated FVRCP (x2) & RABIES, FIV/FELV tested (negative/negative), dewormed and flea treated. His adoption fee is greatly reduced if you’d like to meet this cutie send us a PM so we can set up an appointment.

Our Story

In 1972, Room 8 Memorial Cat Foundation was founded by Hettie L. Perry (1905-1996). Hettie -- affectionately known as The Cat Lady of Pasadena -- and her very patient husband, fed, nursed, groomed and cared for cats in their private home. Hettie's life was filled with love for helping unwanted homeless cats. Hettie named Room 8 Memorial Cat Foundation after a cat named "Room 8" that she had read about who was the mascot at a Los Angeles county elementary school for 16 years. The current shelter in Jurupa Valley, California was built by Hettie in the mid-1980’s and continues her vision of taking in, caring for, and providing and finding cats of all ages a place to feel loved and safe. Our no-cage environment provides a safe and caring home for approximately 85 cats awaiting adoption, as well as lifetime care for those who cannot be placed, including feral cats and senior cats who will live out their lives in a comfortable setting. Our cattery is divided into eight separate rooms and each room has an attached outdoor, enclosed patio area where the cats can get fresh air and lounge in the sun on benches and other furniture. We are open by appointment only. Adoption procedures include completing an application and, if approved, paying an adoption fee for each cat or kitten.
