You Gotta Love Them Cats

Oh, Charlie, you heartbreaker!
What's a foster mom to do when she's stuck fostering the sweetest, most loving, and gentle supermodel for six weeks? She's going to turn into the catarazzi, of course!

Charlie joined his forever-loving family last night! His new guardians already love him to pieces!
We want to wish Charlie and his people (and new, feline sister) many, many years of great memories, love, purrs, and belly rubs! 🐾💖💞

Willow update!! After being an only cat for her first 1.5 years, we were worried she wouldn't get along with other cats. We kenneled her for her first two days while we observed her and learned about her purrsonality. We quickly noticed Willow was unfazed by the other cats around her, so we released her. And still, no issues! So, we listed her for adoption and said she is good with other cats.
Now, we couldn't imagine Willow without her little sister, Anora! A video her new guardian sent to us shows Willow cleaning Anora's face! They love each other so much, and it's amazing how quickly they bonded! We are so happy for them both!
Their guardians must be over-the-moon with how well everything worked out and now, they have to deal with cuteness overload daily!
(Willow is the one wearing white socks.)

This beautiful girl, Willow was surrendered to us because her previous owners decided they no longer wanted any pets. Willow was adopted as a kitten, is just 1.5 years old, and was their only cat.
Willow is now living her best life in Los Angeles with her little sister and her loving guardians. They reached out because Willow looks so much like their 6-month-old kitten, who needed a playmate.
We met them at State Line to shorten their return trip.
We just received an update from her wonderful parents! Only two weeks later, Willow and their kitten, Anora have bonded! They're the best of friends and we couldn't possibly be happier for Willow and her family❣ She was worth going the extra mile for❣🐾🐾🥰

Wonderful news! Harrison has been adopted by an awesome, cat-loving couple! They already have two, four-year-old cats for Harrison to play with and keep him company while they are at work.
His new guardians were so excited to welcome him home! It's incredibly heartwarming to see him go from being homeless to becoming a very important and adored member of his new family!
Wishing Harrison and his loving family many, many years of great memories, cuddles, belly rubs, and purrs❣

💔 Unbreak my heart! 💔
I was adopted as a kitten and I had a stable loving home for five years...at least I thought! My previous owner surrendered me to the kill shelter because she suddenly developed allergies. I did nothing wrong. Now, I am scared and confused as to why I am in this loud, scary place.

I'm a BIG boy with lots of life to live and lots of love to give! I'm over 17 pounds of sweetness. My name is Blue and I am now really, really blue. 😿 Please help me get out of the kill shelter!

If anyone can foster Blue, we will get him from the Animal Foundation and bring him to you. We can supply everything he needs. Blue just needs another chance at finding a stable, loving family. This BIG boy is breaking our hearts! We wish we had the room, or a foster volunteer to help him!

Even better, you can adopt Blue from the Animal Foundation for free! All adoption fees are waived for animals over six months old, for the month of August.

From the Animal Foundation:
Blue Poptart is not adapting well to the shelter environment and exhibiting signs of extreme fear. This animal would benefit from a quieter place to adjust and become more comfortable with social and environmental changes.

Please help Blue! Please share! 💖

We received an update on our foster kid, Grayson! This man's son worked hard to find the perfect cat for his dad...and it looks like he did an amazing job! Grayson was trapped as a stray, turned feral. We are so glad we gave him time to blossom into an indoor kitty who is now invaluable to his new family! It's so touching to see this furkid fully bonded and loved by his human! More cheek rubs, Dad!! 😻😍Thank you for the update! It made our hearts sing! 💖

We hit another trifecta! Patience paid off! Not only were Jacob and Justin adopted together - they got to bring their foster sister, Punkin, with them!
These three foster kids have landed in very capable, loving hands. Their new guardians recently lost their 3 cats due to old age, so they had room in their hearts and home for these 3. How wonderful that they all get to stay together! We couldn't be happier for them! 🐾💛🧡🖤💕

We put food out at night for the strays and ferals in our neighborhood. We kept hearing a cat yowling at night and thought there may be a female in heat, so the trap was set.
This cat was pretty angry and feisty, so we thought it would most likely remain feral. He spent a few days in the bathroom while we awaited our vet appointment. The poor guy was terrified!
When we picked the cat up from the vet, we learned he was a boy! So, we put him into a crate where he could recover from his surgery in peace. The vet guessed he is 9 months old.
Truth be told, we were having a hard time releasing him back into the triple-digit heat and with him being so young, We felt bad he would have to deal with the challenges and hardships of being an outdoor kitty. He didn't seem aggressive towards other cats so, we decided to let him loose in the house.

We hand out Bench & Field cat treats to the cats who have grown to expect them daily. When we would give Grayson his share, we would try to pet him as much as we could. Every day, we pushed it a little more and tried to pet him longer. If we moved too quickly he would bolt but, he stuck around because he loves those treats! Eventually, Grayson decided he liked to be pet and even wanted to be pet before we gave him the treats! This gave us hope!

We are so proud of him and just delighted that Grayson is now a totally, normal pussycat! He transformed into a lovebug and has been adopted into his forever-loving home!! 😻
