DownloadMeet Callie, our lovely calico girl cat in need of a forever home! Calico cats are known for their uniquely colorful coat patterns, and Callie is no exception. She's also got big green eyes. See her in action in her video.
Callie is 12 years old. She's been vet-checked and is current on her shots. Her human best friend passed away and she's had to move, so she's been through a stressful time and has some alopecia. But she's adjusted well to her foster home and now she's looking for a new home with the love and attention she's used to.
Affectionate Callie likes to sit in her foster's lap, and enjoys petting. She likes to sleep near her foster too. Her interests also include chasing lasers and cat toys, and watching out the window. This playful and friendly girl has plenty of love to give and will make a wonderful feline friend.
If you would like to meet Callie, contact Sally North at 818-326-9526 or snorth223@gmail.com. You won't regret it!
Max and Katie are 13-year-old littermates, and a bonded pair. They have always been together and need to stay together in a new forever home. This pair were the pampered pets of a longtime resident who has had to move into memory care. Max is darker and has tabby stripes; Katie is more tortie with some warm brown in her soft fur. Both have large greenish eyes. See their video.
Vet-checked and current on shots, Max and Katie have been through a lot of changes, and depend on each other. Katie is more shy, and in stressful situations it seems to calm her to have Max nearby. They groom each other. Max and Katie like petting and grooming attention from people too. Both will roll over for a nice tummy rub.
Max and Katie are good laid-back cats who don't get into mischief. They're not interested in jumping on things. They both love their catnip scratcher boxes. Katie is a talker and she often chatters to herself or to her foster. They seem content to hang out, relax, and nap, which makes them easy pets to care for and love.

Meet Belle, a gray and white kitten found in Laguna Woods Village. A resident found her during one of our rainstorms, scared and hungry, in a carport storage cabinet. They were able to befriend her and help Belle get safely inside. Now the Cat Club is helping her find her forever home. See Belle in her video.
Belle is about 9 months old now. She's been vet-checked, has been spayed, is current on her shots, and is healthy. She can be shy at first, but is warming to the inside life. She's adjusting well to her foster home and is growing into a lovely cat girl.
This playful kitty has plenty of love to give and will make a wonderful feline friend.

Sherlock is a beautiful black-brown tabby guy with white on his nose, under his chin, and on all 4 feet. He's 13 years old, current on his shots, and he's been vet-checked.
His long-time owner has had to move for more assistance, and could not bring Sherlock along. But Sherlock has settled in comfortably at his foster's home. He's a laid-back cat with a great personality -- he's friendly, playful, and affectionate. Check him out in his video short.
Sherlock enjoys being petted and brushed, playing with cat toys, and watching out the window. He has lived with another cat before, and they got along fine.

Josie and Jake are 3-year-old sibling cats who need a new home. They've always been together and need to be adopted together. Both cats have gleaming black fur. Josie is almost all black with some white under her chin, while Jake is tuxedo black and white with bright white whiskers to go along with his greenish eyes. See them in their video.
The pair have been vet-checked and are current on shots. Their favorite human passed away recently, so they've been through some stress. Josie is a little shy, and takes her time to warm to people. Not so her brother though, it seems he has never met a stranger. Our photographer Susan called him "personality plus"!
Jake and Josie have settled in quickly with their foster. Both do enjoy petting attention. Jake is a big fan of playing with wand toys; Josie can be too. Josie was a lap cat with her previous owner so in time she might be again.
To meet this sis-and-bro combo, contact Carolyn Maxwell, 949-742-0066 or maxwell.carolyn1@gmail.com . You won't be sorry!
Meet Susie, a little tabby kitten found wandering around Gate 4 area of Laguna Woods Village. Little and hungry, she picked a home to frequent and the kind resident began feeding her. She was clearly not feral but scared. She picked the right resident to hang around!
The Cat Club was able to trap her and place her with a temporary foster to keep her safe. When brought for her first vet check, we learned that she'd had kittens. And then another resident reported finding kittens behind a utility unit. Could they be Susie's kittens? Cat Club volunteers brought the kittens to Susie and she immediately went to them and started nursing them!
Susie is about 6 months old. She's been vet-checked. She's being a wonderful momma to the kittens, who will be available for adoption through Smitten with the Kittens (info@smittenwiththekittens.org) when they are old enough.
If you would like to meet Susie, contact Lonnie Painter at 949-533-7947. You won't regret it!
Meet Sammi (Samantha), a little black kitten found in Laguna Woods Village. Sammi was seen wandering near Gate 4 for awhile before kind residents were able to feed her, and the Cat Club managed to trap her. Thanks to these kind residents, she's now inside where she's safe.
Sammi is about 6 months old. She's been vet-checked.
For more information and to meet Sammi, contact Lonnie Painter at 949-533-7947. You won't be sorry!
Kitten Paws was found wandering in Laguna Woods Village. He's gone unclaimed, so we're looking for a forever home for him.
Paws is a handsome youngster. This mostly black boy has white under his chin and on all four paws. His short fur shines. He looks at you with large yellowish eyes. See him in action in his video short.
The vet estimates Paws to be 6 months old, and he's healthy. He's had his first rounds of kitten shots and was neutered recently. He's growing well and using his litter box perfectly.
Like good kittens everywhere, Paws enjoys catnip toys and cardboard boxes. He's an athletic player and chaser. Paws is friendly and enjoys petting and playing with people, but he's not comfortable with other cats. He will need to be an only cat.
Paws is ready for visitors! Please contact Lonnie Painter at 949-533-7947. You won't be sorry!

The Adoption Program
Our primary goal is a successful adoption: finding a loving and safe forever home for the special cats who have entered our program, most of whom are older and grieving the loss of their home and human.
It’s important to us to establish that the potential adopter is capable of providing the kitty with a safe environment, nourishing food, regular veterinary care, appropriate attention, and an understanding heart.
We are honest about each cat’s needs and the potential cost of his/her care. On this basis, we reserve the right to deny an application. However, it is because we are so thorough that our success rate is phenomenally high.
Most of our cats have spent their lives in one home where they were given lots of love and care. So most, in spite of their advanced age, are friendly, affectionate, and healthy creatures. Each has had a recent exam and is up to date on all required shots and tests. For us, the joy of a purrfect match is indescribable.
Our Adoption Process
Another year, and in spite of Covid, we still managed to find loving homes for 14 kitties in our Adoption Program. And in our Courtesy Program, we helped to find homes for 14 more cats. We hope you will enjoy the beautiful kitties we had in our lives this past year. Thanks, as always, for your constant support.

Be prepared should be your mantra when bringing a new pet into your home. Cats are particularly sensitive to new surroundings and some may hide under a bed or in a closet for days or even weeks. You can avoid pitfalls with your new critter and help him or her adapt more easily by following these guidelines:
Before You Bring Your Cat Home:
First Day: Now, you are ready for your cat’s homecoming. Preferably, bring her home in a cat carrier. It will feel safer to her.She has seen a lot of excitement, so take her directly to her new room. (Make sure the toilet lid is down, if she’s to acclimate in your bathroom.) Ideally, you would restrict her exposure to the whole family, but naturally, everyone is going to want to see her. Remind them of the ground rules you’ve set up.
Following Weeks: It may take your cat a week or two to adjust. Be patient.
Congratulations! If you follow these tips, you’ll be on your way to having a well-adjusted feline family member.
