She was scared and would hid in the corner of her kennel at the shelter. She does not want to be handled. We have been fostering her since September 3, 2024. She is slowly accepting us. She allows us to give her treats. She is still very scared. However, there are other cats at the shelter that need our help.

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 7 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!
We love helping senior cats as well as dogs! they deserve to have the best of their life as well. So meet Maggie, aka Kaleen, #A2163454, from the North Central L.A. city shelter. 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 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!
Jenny is the sweetest thing! she needs a home! Jenny, along with her siblings, Donny and Marie were brought to us as 3 week old kittens. They were bottled fed, transitioned to regular food and put into a foster home. Donny and Marie became foster fails (adopted by their foster). jenny was adopted by someone else. At 11 months of age they returned her! they moved to a new home and purchased new furniture. They didn't want Jenny anymore. Of course, we took her back and now she is waiting her new forever home. She gets along with other cats and is very affectionate with people. She could be an only cat or go to a home with other pets. You won't regret adopting jenny! video
ISO my forever home. I'm squirt. I'm a super sweet loving and friendly 1.5-year-old spayed bundle of love. I was first brought to the shelter on June 19th as a stray, and adopted out on the 28th. I was returned on July 9th, they said I had respiratory problems, but I didnt.. I was very nervous and stressed at the shelter and had diarrhea. I didn't respond to medication so the shelter thought they should kill me. a wonderful rescue pulled me, and guess what, I don't have diarrhea! I'm not sick at all. I'm totally healthy and I really want a forever home. I get along great with other cats and people. I'm potty trained and not picky about my food. you won't regret having me as your new best friend.

Yes, Nathaniel, #a5607285 looks worried. He is a 3 year old cat that was brought to the Lancaster shelter as a stray on February 7th. he's very scared of people and so he stayed in his little den and never came out. now we have him in foster and he's accepting our attention. I wouldn't say he's a friendly cat yet and he might never be a very social cat, but he definitely deserves a home. he gets along with other cats. he tolerates our petting. he's very sweet. we only get a short time to foster these cats. failure is not an option!

Christopher Robin is an 8-10 year old neutered male ginger cat that suddenly showed up in a feral colony in our neighborhood. He is very kind and gentle. He had a previous injury to his jaw which makes it difficult for him to open his mouth. He can eat soft food. However, he could not be released back to the colony as he could not defend for himself or hunt. I do not think he minds! We are hoping to get him into a forever home where he can have peace and love. he is very friendly with people, and lives with a small dog and a cat. however, the cat doesn't like him!
Valentine was brought to our sanctuary on February 1, 2024 as a 6 week old kitten that was found with no mother or other kittens.

She will be spayed shortly and is currently available for adoption. We always prefer our kittens are adopted in pairs or go to a home with another friendly cat.

Simon was not adjusting at the shelter. In foster, he is much nicer. He is ok with other female cats, but we think he would prefer to be the only cat. He can be temperamental, but does enjoy our company. He purrs and accepts rubs. he is not big on being held. We only get a short time to foster and we need to find him a home ASAP!
Donny IS STILL WAITING FOR HIS FOREVER HOME! In August, someone called us after they saw a man dump a box in a shopping cart at target. When they looked in the box, they found three little kittens! We had space and accepted them. Donny's sisters were both adopted already. No one wants the best kitten! We must get him a home asap as kitten season is upon us. We cannot help other kittens until Donny and Kai are adopted. The two could go together as they are both playful and social with other kittens and cats. We always prefer our kittens are adopted in pairs or go to a home with another friendly cat.

Tippi is a 4 month old tuxedo kitten that was brought to the Castaic shelter as a stray on February 7, 2024. The veterinarian staff noticed she has a tremor and may have neurologic issues. We took her into foster and our first stop was the veterinarian's office.She could walk but definitely has a head shake. She is also very leery of people and needs help socializing. She is in the right place!
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.

Is it difficult for us to say no when someone reaches out and asks us to save a hospice cat. So here is Storm. We saved her from the east valley shelter on October 18, 2023. She arrived at the shelter on September 16, 2023 as a possible owner. No one came for her. She was quite sick at the shelter and was going to be euthanized if no one saved her. so we did! She has both kidney and hearty disease; we are hoping both are treatable. At this time, we are awaiting more tests. We are hoping to get her as healthy as possible and hope to find her a forever foster. Stormy is an amazing cat! she gained weight and is fine. an elderly gentleman wanted a companion cat and stormy loved him at first sight!
Gizmo was found by a good samaritan and brough to our rescue at less than three weeks of age. We estimate her birthdate as October 25, 2023.

Now Donny, marie and Jenny are ready for their forever homes! They are all playful, social, and loving kittens!

Marie now has two older step-brothers.
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!

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 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.

We are working with her to build her confidence. She does seem to like being with other cats. She is very loving and sweet. She likes to be petted and we can pick her up.

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 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.
Mr. Noodles is a neutered 7 year old gray and white manx. He is very scared of people, but is learning to trust us. He likes other cats and he would love a home with other cats where his human is ok with him being scared and shy. Mr. Noodles was adopted, however, he does not get along with one of the cats in the home. We found a wonderful home where he is the only cat...for now. 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 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!
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.

Scissors has been adopted but the other two are still waiting. They are the nicest, sweetest, friendliest kittens!
King is not even one year old yet and he has been dumped at the shelter twice! The second time after he was home for only one day. The owner tried to give him a bathe. Clearly it did not turn out well as he found himself back at the shelter and now fearful. We took him into foster to remind him people can be nice. It did not take long for him to snuggle up to us. Luckily we found a wonderful person to adopt him and give him his forever home! We love happy endings!
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!
We saw a post on facebook about a sick cat who was left in the streets. No owner came forward after weeks of searching. The people who found her wanted to help but did not know where to turn. We happened to have a space open and took her in. We thought she had URI, but it turns out she had cancer in her nose. She was the sweetest, most loving cat. 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.
Someone please adopt these two kittens! They were brought into the shelter as strays when they were 2 months old in June 2022. We have been fostering them since then as they are very fearful. We can pet and pick them up, but they will never be super friendly cats. They still deserve a home! They get passed up every time because they are not cuddly. Someone must want toe SAVE a life and just have company in their home! They do like the company of other cats!

Simon is a three-year-old, neutered love bug. He was brought in as stray on June 18, 2022. At first, he accepted attention, but time in the cage was not good for him. He became grumpy and unsocial. As soon as he was in foster, he turned into his true self: a love bug who loves to do roly-polies, play and sit on your lap! While he was a tom, you would never know he came from the streets. He just wants to be in your lap and in your business. He gets along with other cats. He is desperate for a home of his own.

These scared kittens were abandoned by their mom out in the cold. We took them in, loved them, cared for them and found them a wonderful home together!
Thankfully, when a cat does not do well at the shelter they Call Susan to foster instead of euthanizing them. She and Paul work their magic socializing these cats. Fernando was easy. he was just scared. he is a 5 year old cat that came from a hording situation where he was never socialized. Now, he has a wonderful family to love him and he loves them right back!
These two little kittens nearly died. Platinum had pneumonia and the shelter was going to euthanize him if we didn't take him. We nearly lost him, but due to our quick actions and non-stop care, he survived! His brother, Oynx, only had a URI, but it was quite bad and took a long time to get him better. The two were adopted out together by a wonderful family.
Greta Garbo was brought to our sanctuary with 3 kittens. She was left in a crate in the sun to die with her kittens. A good Samaritan asked the owner if she could take the kittens, and the homeowner said yes. thankfully! Since the shelter will not intake kittens with a mom, they ended up here.

We can't wait to get her into her forever home!

They are ready for their excellent adventure! Ted is very loving and cuddly. Bill is still shy but will play with you, and his brother, all day. While we would love for them to be adopted together, as long as they go to homes with other cats, they can be adopted separately.
These adorable, playful 2 month old kittens are ready for adoption. These boys are amazing and love to play together. We would love to adopt the boys out together. They have a sister, but she is already spoken for.

This amazing lovable cat was found in our hay barn. We fed him for months before we finally brought him inside. We were surprised at how loving, playful, and sweet he is. he gets along with other cats and will be a wonderful pet for someone.
Thin Mint is an approximately four year old female short haired cat. She originally came into foster with kittens. Her kittens were adopted , as she was. Her owner is leaving the state and needs to rehome her asap. She gets along great with other cats, is very loving and playful. She will make someone very happy!
Snow is a very sweet six year old female, spayed, short haired cat in foster from Agoura Animal Care Center. She was brought to the shelter as an owner surrender. She was very frightened at the shelter and was placed in foster. She gets along with other cats but would also not mind being the only cat. She can not remain in foster indefinitely, she needs to be adopted asap!
Katie is the biggest love bug! She is a 13 year young black long haired female cat that was owner surrendered at the shelter on December 28, 2019. She is scared of most cats, so would do best as an only cat. She loves attention and is the best lap and couch cat!
Fuzzy is a 12 year old owner surrender female cat. She is quite the character! According to her owner, she liked to hang out with her, but was not keen on being petted and picked up. We play with her every day; she is learning that being petted is nice, and she gets treats! She did not do well at the shelter, so we are fostering her, but need to get her a home asap!
Laurel is a young ( maybe two years old) scared female tabby. She was brought to the castaic animal care center as a stray. She is learning to accept humans. Since she has had little human interaction before coming to the shelter, the process is slow. But, she doesn't have that much time to find her forever home! She would make a great barn cat! Let's save her! we can't save another stray until she is homed!
Hardy is also a young ( maybe two years old) scared female tabby. She was brought to the castaic animal care center as a stray on the same day as Laurel, not necessarily related. We can pet and hold Hardy, but she is still fearful. In time, she may make a great house cat (and she can be a barn cat too!)! The longer it takes us to find homes for the cats we have in foster, the fewer cats we can save. Help us save these cats today!
George is a 14 year old owner surrender! He was brought into the shelter in November with his sister, Katie. She is still at the shelter, also looking for her forever home. George is quite shy, but a very sweet cat. He deserves a loving home to spend the rest of his days. he is healthy, neutered, vaccinated and ready to be adopted today!
Laverne came into the shelter as a stray on 11-17-18. She is a female of unknown age. She is now friendly and loving. She loves to be held and purrs. She can be an indoor or outdoor pet, and will do best with another friendly cat.
Shirley came into the shelter on 11-21-18 as a stray. Her age is unknown. She is still scared, but we are working with her every day. We can pet her, and she tolerates us holding her. She would make a great barn or outdoor cat. In time, she may be loving house pet as well. She would also benefit from being adopted with another cat. We can only foster for a short period of time, so we have to encourage their adoption even if they are still scared.
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. Dakota lets us pet her and pick her up. She will still occasionally first hiss, but puts her guard down immediately as she knows we will never hurt her. She will take a gentle person to keep bringing her out of her shell. She can be an indoor-outdoor or barn cat. She would love to be adopted with laverne or another cat.
This sister and brother pair are only 18 months old. They were owner surrendered from a hoarding situation. While a little scared, they are very loving and sweet. Pretty boy was adopted and now has two dog brothers/ Splatter was in love with Freckles; they were adopted together.
This cat cracks us up! Four year old owner surrender. Was a brat at the shelter; was awesome in foster! She found a great home.
Betty Boop came to the shelter as a stray on September 28, 2018 with a litter of kittens. She was in foster care while her kittens matured. The kittens have since been fixed and are ready for adoption. Betty, on the other hand, was still scared and would not allow anyone to hold her. So back into foster she went. She is just over one year old. We have only had her in foster for a week and we can already pet her. 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. She could be an indoor-outdoor cat; however, white cats are easy targets for owls and coyotes. So it will be imperative that she be indoors at night.
Splinter (A5245223) is an approximately nine month old gray male cat. He came into the shelter as a stray on December 20, 2018. He was scared and hissed. He was put into foster because he has been at the shelter too long. He needs out now! We can pet him and pick him up, but he still needs a quiet, patient person to love him. He can be an indoor or outdoor cat!
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.
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
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.
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
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
Oreo, Snicker doddle and Nutter butter are the sweetest kittens. These three kittens have been adopted! There are literally hundreds of kittens waiting for their forever home at a shelter near you. Save a life and adopt today!
Popeye, Bluto and Sweet Pea all ended up in the same home! Olive Oyl was adopted with a kitten from another litter!
