The Cat Posse

The Cat Posse Because every cat deserves a loving, *forever* home... We are currently caring for 200 cats, and 110 of these cats are up for adoption.

The Cat Posse’s mission is to rescue and rehabilitate unwanted and abused cats in Southern California and to educate communities about the importance of spaying and neutering their cats. We believe that all animals deserve dignity and kindness, and we work toward the day when all public shelters will have a “no kill” policy. The Cat Posse is entirely operated and driven by a group of dedicated vol

unteers who rescue, rehabilitate, foster and adopt out cats. Approximately 50% of the cats in our care are ten years or older, and many have special needs. We have cats with thyroid, dental, eye and intestinal diseases; cats who need fluids on a regular basis, cats who have respiratory problems, cancer, and cats who periodically need surgeries for a variety of reasons. Our experience has shown that many of our cats, due to age, special needs, or temperament, will most likely not be adopted. These cats will remain with us, receiving loving care, for the rest of their lives. The Cat Posse does not have a shelter per se; rather, we maintain numerous volunteer foster homes in Southern California, primarily in Pasadena, Altadena, Tujunga and the San Fernando Valley. The cats we take in are strays, owner surrenders or selected from the local Humane Societies. We are fully committed to the cats in our care and it is a privilege to serve them.

Are torties the most unique cat in colour and personality?

These sweet girls certainly tick off both of those boxes!

Please say hello to Sullivan (F, ~4 years old), Dottie (F, ~7 years old), Charli (F, ~7 years old and Dottie’s litter mate), Autumn Leaf (F, ~7 years old) and Leila (F, ~1.5 years old).

Dottie, Charli and Autumn Leaf have lived with their foster since they were kittens and are very bonded so would be a package deal! They warm up to people very quickly, with Charli loving being the first one to become affectionate with humans☺️

Sullivan and Leila can/would be adopted separately. They are also known for being affectionate (Sullivan loves to be petted, held, and lots of attention, but not overly needly) and Leila would be fine with having a cat housemate, while Sullivan would be best as the centre of attention 💅🏻

Read below for adoption fees and reach out to us for more information on any of these girls 💗💗💗

Our adoption fee ($150) includes: FIV/FELV test, FVRCP vaccination, dewormer, flea control, spay/neuter procedure (if not already), microchip, and a breakaway collar.

⭐ To apply to adopt any of the torties, please visit the linktree in our bio for the application. To have an application emailed to you directly, please contact Sharon Clark at [email protected]

I know there are so many misconceptions, but is there a common one that really bothers you?

11/13/2024

When you're trying to stop the unwanted litters, please do not overlook the males. Neuters are a fraction of the cost of spays & the recovery is much faster. One unneutered male can father 2500 kittens a year. You may not be having to deal with the kittens, but your neighbors within a 5-mile radius will. Be part of the solution! 💜

When temperatures drop, outside cats need twice as much food as they eat during warm weather to maintain their body heat. Let half of their dry food be kitten chow. 😸

We could really use more Friskies canned food again if anyone can help us. Here is our Chewy Wish List that you can use...

NICOLAS is on the EUTH LIST at the ORANGE COUNTY, CA SHELTER. He needs a RESCUE COMMITMENT by 5:00pm on 11/13/2024 or he WILL BE EUTHANIZED.

NICOLAS is a 2 year old PitBull mix that came into the Orange County shelter on 05/21/2024. He came in neutered and microchipped..!! Let's face it, that rarely happens ~ but where is his owner..?!?!

NICOLAS has managed to survive shelter living for 6 months. He is very treat motivated and knows 'sit' and 'shake'. He also loves the water so bath time is also time to play.

When NICOLAS first arrived at the shelter, notes say he was friendly but showed some barrier reactivity in his kennel and dog reactivity when he was taken out for a walk. On 8/30/2024 there is an entry on his file that says, "Has been doing well, volunteers and I have no issues leashing and unleashing him in kennel. Is still a very a hard puller on leash. Is calm and collected when entering kennel and doesn't seem too reactive to other dogs in kennel most of the time."

However, like many "extended stay dogs" that don't get enough physical, mental and/or emotional stimulation it seems like it is just a matter of time when the stress of the shelter shows up in a dog's behavior. Recent resource guarding test results say that NICOLAS is showing extreme resource guarding when eating his food. On 11/05/24: "Observed note on kennel door not to enter while eating."

NICOLAS needs a rescue that can get him out of the shelter, give him time to decompress and have him properly assessed.

Hi Cat Posse Crew!! 🎁

We’re doing another See’s Candies Yumraiser ✨ this year were hoping our friends, family and community members can take advantage of the opportunity to buy gifts, stocking stuffers and host/hostess gifts for the holidays while supporting a cause at the same time!❤️

The following slides show the two holiday specific items on our storefront that we will get back 50% on as opposed to 20% of the profit. For FAQs about the shipping etc check out our See’s Candies highlight section.

We have a link dedicated to our campaign in our linktree to get to our store front! You will be helping us reach the $25K
Marathon Goal that we are $2000 away from currently! So if you choose to buy from our storefront, donate or share, the cats would be forever grateful.

Is your cat not finding the new toys you just bought her interesting? That doesn't mean they will be ignored forever and left to waste. You just need to tweak..

And also for the pon pom balls! The kitties LOVE these.
Thank you to Shannen for the churus and cat litter in memory of Cosmo. When I scanned the QR code it did not give me an option of thanking you so I hope you see this post. We so appreciate you!

We hope everyone has enjoyed their Caturday - and this soundtrack to the kitties eating Churu 🐈😹🐈‍⬛ Also, Walter’s cameo at the very end is awe-inspiring 👀. 🎥 @paaaaaaaige_ #rescuecats #catsofinstagram #cats #blackcat #tabbies #socal #rescue #adopt

Human + Churu = 🤝🐈🐈‍⬛😹 What size of Churu package do you get and how long does it last? 😋 And is your cat(s) like Sage (grey) or the more demure tabbies? #churu #rescuecats #tabbies #greycat
