AVAILABLE FOSTER CATS AND KITTENS IN 2025

ROBBY-AVAILABLE

ROBBY NEEDS A HOME NOW!!! Meet Robby, aka Angel from the North Central shelter. He was owner surrendered on February 4, 2025. He didn't want to eat and then became combative. Instead of seeking medical help, they put him on medical alert and on a euthanasia list for February 7, 2025. We couldn't let that happen. We thought he had kidney disease. He just had a UTI for which he has been treated and is now doing great! He is ok with other cats, but prefers to keep to himself. He is very friendly with people and would love to be someone's cuddle bug! He needs a forever home! We can't help other cats in need until he has a home as he is taking up a space where we would put a foster cat.

Gerry- AVAILABLE FOR FOSPICE

This poor old cat was brought to the North Central Animal Shelter as a "stray" on March 13, 2025. he is a 15 year old neutered male ragdoll cat with a severely matted coat. He has no teeth and a funny shaped nose that our veterinarian is suspecting may be cancer. Despite his terrible condition, Gerry is the sweetest cat! he is friendly with people and cats. We would love to get him into a forever home for whatever time he has left. Foster for us today! we take care of medical. You just love him and give him a great life!

BUTTONS -AVAILABLE

Poor buttons can't seem to catch a break. All her litter mates have been adopted and she remains waiting for a forever home! She is approximately 9 months old now. She is very friendly and social with other cats. She is very loving with us at feeding time. She is not fond of being held. She would do best in a home with a cat savvy family with other cats. While she is still shy, she is so deserving of a home of her own! She was brought to us as singleton stray when she was about 6 weeks old. We already had three female tabby torties that looked just like her. They were all great together. GIVE BUTTONS A CHANCE! ADOPT TODAY!

CHARLIE - AVAILABLE

Charlie, #a5680070 is waiting for her forever home. She is a very sweet affectionate, friendly, four-year-old female spayed Maine coon. She was owner surrendered to the castaic shelter on February 22, 2025, for being aggressive. At the shelter, she was hissy and didn't want to be picked up. We took her into foster on March 17, 2025, and put her with another cat. She hissed. We took away the other cat, and she was friendly. Easy solution: make Charlie the only cat in the house. Now that she is by herself, she is super friendly and affectionate. If you walk in the room, she comes up to you for attention. We brought Charlie back to the shelter in hopes she can get adopted faster from the shelter than in foster. However, we worry she will get stressed again. She need to be adopted asap! We also had to bring her back, so we could help our new foster cat, Tally. adopt today!

WALTER-HOSPICE

Just after the holiday, Baldwin Park shelter sent an email with a medical notice for this 15 year old cat that came into the shelter as a stray. he is severely underweight and blind. His prognosis was guarded. We couldn't let him die at the shelter, so we rescued him! His bloodwork was not too bad for a cat of his age. he is currently on blood pressure medicine and is enjoying his days sleeping and eating.

SOPHIE- ADOPTED

We brought her to the Palmdale shelter on January 22, 2025 for bloodwork. The results were she is in the beginning stages of kidney disease. Since then, she is doing GREAT! She eats dry food and loves her treats! SHE NEEDS A HOME!!! We returned Sophie back to the shelter so she could be seen for the adoption event and to give us room to foster Charlie.

Belle was brought to the shelter as a stray on September 24, 2024. She had a deadline of that day by 4pm. We asked around for help with transport and had the little princess delivered to us. As with many singletons, it was touch and go at first as she didn't want the bottle and she didn't want to go poop. We got her over those hurdles and now she is an almost 8 week old little vibrant kitten. She is very socialized and loves people and cat company. She is available for adoption to a home with another friendly cat or kitten. Or, we still have buttons for whom is she loves. We would love a family who wanted them both!

She was brought to the shetler as an owner surrender on September 18, 2024. She had a dull, dity coat, worn teeth and an abrasion on her nose. The shelter put her on antibiotics which did not help. She began to vomit at the shelter. They thought perhaps the nose sore was cancer and gave her deadline as they were not equipped to give her the medical care she needed. We could! We immediately took her to our veterinarian for a check up and blood work. She is on medication for her nose, and it already, just a few days later, looks better! She does have signs of the start of kidney disease, so we will treat her for that. She has a wonderful fospice home and we hope to give her a long best of the rest of her life

Hobbs- IN FOSPICE CARE

Hobbs was owner surrendered to the East Valley shelter on July 8, 2024, with a huge mass on his right front leg. The biopsy showed it was osteosarcoma; an aggressive bone cancer. The shelter considered him a hospice. Since he has a looming expiration date, they wanted to euthanize him. A good Sam pulled him from the shelter to have his leg amputated. But, without a rescue to take him, he went back to the shelter. We rescued him on August 1, 2024. He is such a great cat! A nice gentleman who recently lost his cat, has taken Hobbs under his wing. Hobbs will have a wonderful foster home and all the love he deserves!

Mango- RIP

saying "no" is not something we do when a senior pet needs help. Such was the case with Mango, aka Sydney from the West Valley shelter. Mango is a sweet 16 year old cat that was brought to the shelter as a stray on January 20th. We rescued him on February 13, 2024. He has some respiratory problems and clearly something else going on with his nose and face. We pulled him and brought him immediately to the vet. He has a fungal infection as well as kidney and liver disease. He is in good hands and he will be taken care of so he can have the best of the rest of his life. We got rid of the fungus, but he wasn't healing. we cultured it again and treated it with different antibiotics. it never got better. it got worse and worse.the vet said that if he doesn't respond, it's probably cancer. she was right. it kept growing. While he ate 3+ times a day, he kept losing weight. His nose was congested and his sight was fading. he was still happy, and he only wanted to eat and cuddle. but today we made the decision to say goodbye as he was not going to get better and we didn't want him to suffer. I didn't show a current picture, as it is too graphic. Besides, I want to remember him as he was when we rescued him in February. RIP our dear Mango.

Marie- ADOPTED

We received a call on labor day from someone who found a single kitten. His eyes were barely open and his ears were still flat. We asked if the person who found the kitten would foster for us. They said yes! However, once we explained the process of bottle feeding a 12 gay old kitten and how often he would need to be fed, they said they were unable to do that. However, they do want to adopt him when he is ready! So we took in litle Rocky and bottle fed him. Now he is strong and running around. He is currently in a foster home with Donny, Marie, and Jenny, We can't wait for him to go into hs forever home!

Mink- RIP

Ruff-ADOPTED

On October 24, 2023 we received an email from east valley. they had an 8 month old kitten that was owner surrendered after being adopted when she was only 4 weeks old in April. The kitten was not eating and was sick. They were goin to euthanize her if no one stepped up. So we did. We suspected she had FIP, and the bloodwork showed she did have an auto- immune issue. We started her on medicine to help her and force fed when she woul dnot eat. We had high hopes we could give her some time. She had three great days in our home laying the sun, sleeping in a bed and getting lots of love. On Friday, October 27, 2023, she declined rapidly. Susan slept with her on the couch, mink sleeping on her chest, until she took her last breathe. It pains us when they decline in the middle of the night and we can not get them to a veterinarian to be euthanized. But we make sure they are loved and safe and leave this world with someone holding their paw.

Ruff-ADOPTED

Ruff was born on approximately June 5, 2023. She was found screaming in a hedge with no mom or other kittens around on July 3, 2023.

Thomas- RIP

Thomas is a 12 year old cat that was brought to the east valley shelter as a stray on June 4, 2023. He was very skinny, blind and overall in bad health. A good Sam took him to the veterinarian for diagnostics where it was discovered he has cancer and pancreatitis. His prognosis is poor, so we took him on June 11, 2023, as a hospice cat so he does not have to die at the shelter. Thomas loved his nightly cuddles on the couch. The shelter said he was a stray, so I do not think he ever knew love. He had lots of it with us. He started to decline on August 4, 2023. I told him it was ok for him to go to sleep and not wake up. He deserved a peaceful departure from this earth, and was granted that on August 5, 2023.

Patrick-RIP

Patrick is a 13 year old cat that was owner surrendered to the East Valley shelter on May 22, 2023 for being old and sick. A good Sam took him to the vet for diagnostics where it was discovered he has lung cancer, pancreatitis and diarrhea. No one will adopt this old soul, so we took him on June 11, 2023, so he can spend his last days and weeks in a home with love. Surprisingly, Patrick stayed with us for over two wonderful months. He loved feeding time. We will miss hearing his meows the moment he heard the first cat food opening. In the last week of August he was hungry but would only eat a few bites. His body was finished. He was curled i susan's arms when he took his last breathe on August 31, 2023.

The couple fostered him until they were certain they want him forever..and they do! Salem was adopted on August 7, 2023.

Calvin and Hobbes - ADOPTED

Calvin and Hobbes came to our sanctuary as 4 month old scared kittens. They were adopted out before we really had a chance to socialize them. They were in their home for year but the owner could no longer keep them becasue she has stage 4 cancer! These cats are very good with other cats. They like to be petted, but they're not keen on being picked up. We found a wonderful person to foster them and she helped with the socialization with people. And then, we found the nicest person to adopt them both! They are so happy now!

Michelin- ADOPTED

We live in a wonderful community where people help each other out to help hurt animals. Michelin was found in the wheel well of a tow truck. The two truck driver had to remove the wheel in order to get the kitten out! Someone posted on our neighborhood page asking for help with a rescue. One of our former fosters said she would foster if we would take him under our wing. Of course we said yes! He is a very lucky 8 week old kitten!. We took him to the veterinarian as soon as possible as he could not bear weight on his left front leg. The good news is there are no broken bones. The bad news is he has nerve damage that may be permanent requiring his leg to be amputated. We are hoping his leg will heal and he will regain use of it. Only time will tell. In the meantime, we can certainly use your donation to help with his medical expenses. Donations can be made at PayPal and venmo at Goldenyearsdogsanctuary@yahoo.com.

King- ADOPTED

Conan-O'Brian- ADOPTED

Luckily we found a wonderful person to adopt him and give him his forever home! We love happy endings!

Conan-O'Brian- ADOPTED

Meet Conan O'Brian. Conan was once someone's cat. He is super friendly and sweet, so we can only imagine he came from a loving home. However, he was found by a Good Samaritan under her car. He was clearly injured and was unable to walk. She took him to her local vet where x-rays showed a dislocated hip. His other hind leg was degloved. He wasn't going anywhere on his own. Luckily, he was microchipped. However, when the veterinarian called the owner and told him what happened to the cat; they didn't want him. The good Samaritan was forced to take him to the local shelter. Shelters these days are full beyond capacity. Without enough cages and staff, this cat was doomed to die in the shelter. Until we came along! We quickly saved him and took him to our veterinarian to get him the help he needs. Our estimated cost for surgery is over $2,400. yikes! thankfully he's a candidate for the star program, and the city of Los Angeles is going to pay for a portion of the surgery. We can still use help paying for the remainder of the surgery and extra medical expenses, such as bandages that need changing every day for over a month and medicine. He is now healed and ready for his forever home. he is a great cat! He is friendly, affectionate, and gets along with other cats!

She just wanted to be near you and lay with you...unless she was hungry. she barely weighed 4 pounds when we took her in. She died, November 18, 2022, after three months weighing nearly 5 pounds. She had a full heart and we know she was loved every moment she was in our life.

Dakota is a female calico cat of unknown age that came into the shelter on 12-9-18. She is most likely related to Shirley and Cali. She loves being friends with Laverne.

We only have a limited time to foster her, so we need to find her a home with someone willing to work with her asap.

ADOPTED! Splinter (A5245223)

Jolson (A5243896), a black, male older cat ( at least 7) plays on your heart strings. He is kind, loving, and very scared. Who knows what terrible things were done to him. He is very afraid, but slowly coming out of his shell. We can pet him, and he will let us hold him, but he is scared and runs back to his bed. He needs a kind, patient soul to help him see that life and love can be beautiful.

ADOPTED! Maximus (A5246790)

ADOPTED! Splinter (A5245223)

Maximus (A5246790) is a neutered 3 year old tabby that came to the shelter as a stray on new year’s eve. He was hoping 2019 would bring him a friendly forever home. He was quite grumpy at the shelter, so we are fostering him. He is a love, with an opinion. Probably not a cat for young children, but certainly for anyone who wants a big gorgeous cat in their house

ADOPTED! Freckles (A5250962)

Freckles was one of many cats trapped at a hoarding situation along with his offspring. He was an outdoor cat and could be again. However, he is liking being petted, being held and most of all being hand fed sardines! He just needs a loving home! He is at least one year old and will be neutered, micro-chipped and vaccinated before being adopted.

ADOPTED! Cameron, Sammy and Alex

These three kittens were all from a hoarding situation. They were not handled before being fostered. Thankfully, Castaic Animal Care Center allows us to foster these fearful cats and find them forever homes

ADOPTED! Blue (A5252822)

Who doesn't love a Russian Blue? Blue is approximately one year old. She came into the shelter as a stray on January 29, 2019. She was very scared and shy, but not aggressive Learning to trust, she is fine with us petting her and picking her up. She would do best in a home with another cat who can teach her how to be a better house cat! But, any home allows us to save another!

ADOPTED- Olaf (A5278442)

Olaf is a four year old altered male cat who was dumped by his owners at the shelter on May 11, 2019. He is upset about being left behind. He is in foster because he is having a tough time adjusting to a cage. He is quite a sweet cat and deserves a loving forever home.

ADOPTED-Splenda (A5273432)

Splenda came to the shelter on April 25, 2019 with a litter of six week old kittens. She didn't want to be separated from her kittens and kept trying to escape from her cage so she was put into foster. Her kittens were adopted and she has been spayed and returned to the shelter. She is a super sweet, playful, young cat deserving a great life!

ADOPTED! Smokey (A5261889)

It says on her kennel card, this twelve year old, incredibly friendly cat was a stray. More likely her owners didn't know what to do with her and put her out on the street. At the shelter, she had difficulty moving and kept peeing outside her box, so we took her into foster to help. Two visits to the chiropractor helped the inflammation in her spine. Now she jumps up and down off the bed! Her blood work showed she has an elevated kidney level, but NO signs of kidney disease. A big high walled litter box keeps her from peeing outside the box. This twelve year old cat is a doll! She deserves better than being dumped at the shelter!

ADOPTED Felix (A5266169)

ADOPTED! Oscar (A5266169)

ADOPTED! Smokey (A5261889)

Felix (A5266170) is a 5 month old, female, kitten. She, and her sister, were born in a house and then not handled for the first four months of their life. Needless to say, she didn't understand love and attention. Now she yearns for it! She rubs against us, does mashed potatoes, plays... She is a doll! While she now trusts us, it will take time for her to trust and love a new person. But, she is so worth it! She will need patient humans to take their time to win her trust and love.

ADOPTED! Oscar (A5266169)

Oscar is a 5 month old, female, kitten. She, and her sister, were born in a house and then not handled for the first four months of their life. Needless to say, she didn't understand love and attention. Now she yearns for it! While she now trusts us, it will take time for her to trust and love a new person. But, she is so worth it! She will need patient humans to take their time to win her trust and love.
