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.

A few quick reminders so playtime with your cat is more rewarding.

07/05/2025

We frequently misinterpret a cat’s actions, jumping to conclusions about their motivations. Instead, take a step back and examine both the behavior and the context in which it occurs.

1. What behavior is the cat displaying?
2. What are the surrounding circumstances?
3. What is the cat gaining from this behavior?
4. How can you change the outcome or offer a better alternative?

By exploring the conditions behind a behavior, you're better equipped to identify potential causes and triggers. For example, if your cat bites every time you pick him up, rather than labeling him as aggressive or punishing the behavior, examine your own approach. Did your handling startle him? Did you miss subtle cues in his body language signaling discomfort or a desire to be left alone? Often, unwanted behaviors are reactions and not signs of defiance. Creating a more comfortable environment where your cat feels safe and has choices can significantly improve outcomes.

Punishment is a common but counterproductive response. Many pet parents, driven by frustration, react to normal cat behavior as if it’s a deliberate misbehavior. But imagine how stressful it must be for a cat to be punished for doing something that feels natural or necessary to him. Punishment doesn’t teach; it only instills fear and defensiveness, further damaging trust.

Instead, view behavior through your cat’s eyes. What might seem like misbehavior is often a perfectly reasonable response to unmet needs or stressful conditions. Cats don’t misbehave out of spite. When we learn to understand those messages, we can respond by supplying what the cat needs and offer support rather than punishment.

For over a month, our Animal Control received calls about a mama dog seen running loose, always just out of reach. Each time, our officers searched but couldn’t find her. Then one day, after a close call with traffic, a kind-hearted Samaritan was able to safely contain her and her five puppies. Our team rushed out and finally brought them all to safety.

Her puppies have since found loving homes — and now it’s Isabella’s turn. 🥹

She’s a gentle giant with a big heart. While she can be shy at first, once she warms up, she’s all about belly rubs, treats, and being close to her people. She knows sit and shake, and would love to keep learning. Come meet her and see if she’s the one!

Meet Neo & Trinity – The Purrfect Pair

Neo (older by one dramatic second) is a big, sweet cuddle king with a serious love for food and snuggles. He’s your classic male—territorial, sensitive, and proud of it. He’ll do best with Trinity or as the solo star of your home. While he’s done fine around a small dog and met other cats, he’d rather not share the throne. Neo may take a little longer to settle emotionally in a new place, but once he does, he’s all heart.

Trinity is his sleek, independent sister who loves kids and calls the cuddle shots. When she chooses you, it’s magic.

They’re balcony loungers and birdwatchers. Neo’s the extrovert with a sensitive core; Trinity’s the cool girl with a warm heart.
