Axel is a sweet, affectionate boy with a playful streak and a serious appreciation for lap time.
He originally turned up at a tow yard in Hawthorne, where employees caring for a local feral cat colony quickly realized this handsome newcomer was anything but feral. Friendly from the start, Axel happily accepted attention and even made air biscuits while being held.
That easygoing personality has continued to shine. Axel loves people and is comfortable meeting strangers, both men and women. He is a complete cuddle bug who enjoys curling up in a lap, but he is equally enthusiastic when it is time to play. Anything that moves has the potential to become an Axel-approved toy.
He is also bright, food motivated, and very trainable. In foster care, Axel quickly learned that counters were off limits and even cooperated for a little nail trim. He can occasionally be tempted to chew on paper, so important documents may want to keep their distance.
Axel also spent about a week living with a Yorkie and did well, showing that he can coexist comfortably with a small, respectful dog.
With his affectionate personality, playful nature, and willingness to learn, Axel should make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a cat who wants to be part of everyday life

Munji is a handsome, confident boy with a big personality, an impressive floofy tail, and plenty to say.
He was found roaming a neighborhood and quickly made it clear that life with people is very familiar to him. He is affectionate, adaptable, talkative, and completely comfortable making himself at home.
Munji settled into foster care quickly and proved to be remarkably comfortable around people, including strangers. In fact, Munji has been known to flop onto his back and fall asleep belly-up not long after someone new walks through the door. Even the vacuum doesn’t faze him. He’s more likely to chase it than run away from it.
He enjoys being near his people and likes to keep tabs on whatever is happening around the house. He’ll follow you from room to room and happily soak up attention.
Munji has a playful side and can get a little mouthy at times, but his bites have been gentle and he redirects well to toys. A little playtime goes a long way with this curious, social boy.
If you’re looking for a cat who wants to be part of your day without needing to be in your lap every minute, Munji may be your guy





- Tabby, Domestic Short Hair
- Baby, Male Prefers home without dogs, Prefers home without small kids
- Submit an Adoption Application for Maverick
* Available in Shelter for Meet & Greet *
Maverick was rescued with his mama and siblings from Hawthorne Auto Square when he was only five or six weeks old. He was always the cautious kitten and much more comfortable with cats than people, so it took him a little longer to figure humans out.
A few months in foster care have made a huge difference. Once too scared to leave his box for days at a time, Maverick now follows his foster mom around the house like a little shadow, naps beside her during the day, slow blinks at her from across the room, and comes over looking for attention and play. He’s even become comfortable being picked up and cuddled by his foster dad. He may be shy at first, but once he feels safe, he genuinely likes being around his people.
Underneath all that caution was a very sweet little cat who really wanted to be loved—he just needed time to feel safe enough to show it. Now he seeks out affection and happily soaks up pets. He is an incredibly gentle boy, even when he’s frightened.
Maverick is a quiet, easygoing guy who rarely meows, but he makes up for it with a surprisingly loud purr. He loves his toys and will happily entertain himself, but he also likes to initiate play with his people. He’s curious and observant, and his funny, playful side has come out more and more as his confidence has grown.
Maverick loves other cats and would especially enjoy a home with a friendly cat looking for a buddy. A feline friend isn’t required, but it would be a big plus for him. He’s looking for a loving home that can give him a little time to settle in





- Domestic Short Hair, American Shorthair
- Adult, Male Prefers home without dogs, Prefers home without small kids
- Submit an Adoption Application for Joji aka Joe
* Available in Shelter for Meet & Greet *
Joji (aka Joe) is a sensitive, intelligent tuxedo boy who has come a long way since his outdoor days. He’s left street life behind and is learning to fully enjoy the comfort and predictability of indoor living.
Joji can be shy with new people, but once he trusts you, he becomes an affectionate companion. He loves sunny naps, curling up beside you, and settling into your lap or on your chest for snuggles. Chin and neck scritches are his favorite, and he’s a total gentleman at mealtime.
He’s smart and food-motivated, knows how to sit and jump on cue, and enjoys quiet playtime with wand toys, kickers, and small solo toys.
Joji thrives in a calm, adult-only home and does best as the only pet. Sudden movements can startle him, and he communicates with a warning nibble when overstimulated, but he’s made huge progress learning to feel safe. With patience and consistency, he blossoms into a loyal, loving shadow who prefers to stay close by.
If you appreciate a thoughtful cat who bonds deeply and rewards kindness with quiet devotion, Joji may be the perfect match

Tabitha is a sweet, affectionate girl with a gentle personality and a very loving heart.
She can be a little shy when something is new, but once she feels comfortable, she makes it very clear that she wants love. Tabitha enjoys pets, closeness, and quiet time with her people. Her foster says she will settle in nearby, ask for attention, and purr like she means it.
She is also a wonderful little communicator. Talk to Tabitha and she may meow right back, making her feel less like a cat in the room and more like a tiny companion keeping you company.
Tabitha would do beautifully with someone who appreciates a soft, affectionate adult cat and is willing to let her settle in at her own pace. She coexists well with other cats, but she is not bonded and does not need to be adopted with another cat.
Loving, interactive, and full of quiet charm, Tabitha is the kind of cat who makes earning her trust feel extra special





- Snowshoe, Domestic Short Hair
- Adult, Male Prefers home without dogs
- Submit an Adoption Application for Simba
* In Foster Care * Meet & Greets by appointment. * Please submit an application online and well call to schedule! *
Simba is a handsome, friendly boy with a confident personality and an independent streak.
He enjoys people and is absolutely social, but he does not need constant attention to feel secure. Simba is the kind of cat who appreciates companionship while also enjoying his own space and routine. He may be a great fit for someone who wants a friendly adult cat who is not attached at the hip.
In foster care, Simba has shown that he may prefer a calmer environment with fewer cats. He has been living in a busy foster home with multiple feline roommates and has handled many changes, but we think a quieter home may help him truly settle into his best self.
Simba and Alfie spend time together and could be considered as a pair, but Simba may also do well as a single cat with the right person.
Simba is currently being monitored for a stress-related urinary issue. Peter Zippi is working with our veterinary team and trying a low-dose medication plan to support him for now. It is very possible his needs may change once he is in a calmer home with fewer cats.
Friendly, confident, and quietly independent, Simba is ready for someone who will appreciate him for exactly who he is

Maisie is a beautiful girl with a soft heart and a quiet way of asking to be loved.
She may take a little time to feel comfortable in a new place, but once she decides she is safe, Maisie is all about affection. Her foster describes her as a “velcro kitty” with her people. She loves pets, enjoys being close, and is very happy to settle in with someone who is willing to sit still and let her soak up attention.
Maisie has been through a lot of change recently, so we are looking for a home that will give her a little patience up front and plenty of love once she is ready. She is not the kind of cat who needs to be rushed. She just needs someone who understands how rewarding it can be when a shy-to-start cat decides you are her person.
Maisie coexists well with other cats, but she is not bonded and would make a wonderful individual companion. She may also do well with a calm, compatible cat who respects her space.
Sweet, affectionate, and quietly devoted, Maisie is ready for a soft landing and someone to love her back





- Tabby, Domestic Short Hair
- Adult, Male Prefers home without dogs
- Submit an Adoption Application for Alfie
* In Foster Care * Meet & Greets by appointment. * Please submit an application online and well call to schedule! *
Alfie is a handsome, social boy with a curious spirit and plenty to say.
His foster describes him as wonderfully chatty, almost like you can have a conversation with him when he is in curious, exploratory mode. Alfie likes being near his people and being part of what is happening, but he is not overly demanding. He has a nice balance of social confidence and independence.
Alfie enjoys exploring, observing, and adding his own commentary along the way. He is the kind of cat who brings personality into a home without needing to be the center of attention every minute.
He has spent time with other cats and may do well with a compatible feline friend. He and Simba have also shown a nice connection and could be considered together, though Alfie is not dependent on another cat and may also do well as an individual companion.
Curious, conversational, and easy to enjoy, Alfie is a wonderful adult cat for someone who likes a cat with presence, charm, and a little running commentary

Maribelle was found keeping her four kittens safe in an unlikely place, the Hawthorne Auto Square. Whether she had been surviving quietly on her own or was left behind, we may never know. What’s clear is that she was an incredibly devoted and protective mother.
Now that her kittens are grown, Maribelle is ready for a home of her own.
She’s a thoughtful, observant cat who prefers to take things in before jumping in. She enjoys gentle pets—sometimes short, sometimes longer—and will let you know what she’s comfortable with. She’s generally a quiet companion with a soft presence and a strong appreciation for cozy resting spots but she has a playful side that is a joy to witness.
Maribelle isn’t the type to demand attention right away, but for someone who understands cats and respects their pace, she offers something really special: a calm, loyal presence and a bond that builds over time.
After raising her kittens, it’s finally her turn to be cared for

- Submit an Adoption Application for Elton
* In Foster Care * Meet & Greets by appointment. * Please submit an application online and we’ll call to schedule! *
Elton is a big, handsome, affectionate boy who loves greeting his people, rubbing up for attention, and soaking in scratches and brushing. When he’s especially happy, he may even drool a little or try to groom your face.
He enjoys interactive play, bird watching, and relaxing near his person. Elton is food-motivated and does best with a predictable routine.
Like many affectionate cats, he can become a little overstimulated during long petting sessions. He does best with people who understand cat body language and are comfortable giving him space when he’s ready for a break.
Elton takes a small daily medication (easily hidden in treats) that helps him stay relaxed and balanced. He also has a fondness for plastic bags, so those should be kept out of reach.
A calm home without young children would be best. Elton may enjoy another cat, but he’s also happy soaking up human attention on his own.
If you’re an experienced cat person looking for a devoted companion with a big personality, Elton could be a wonderful match.

- Submit an Adoption Application for Sonny
* In Foster Care * Meet & Greets by appointment. * Please submit an application online and we’ll call to schedule! *
Sonny is the kind of cat who quietly becomes your shadow. He’ll follow you from room to room with soft little chirps, happy just to be near you. Settle onto the couch and he’ll be right there beside you, purring like it’s his full-time job.
At 10 years young, Sonny has perfected the art of companionship. He’s mellow, affectionate, and wonderfully easy to live with. He enjoys playtime in short bursts, appreciates a cozy nap, and truly thrives on simple, steady connection.
Sonny is FIV positive, which simply means his immune system needs a little extra care. FIV+ cats can live long, happy lives indoors, and Sonny has done this beautifully. He also has kidney disease that has remained stable on a prescription diet alone. He feels great, loves his special food, and continues to enjoy each day to the fullest.
What Sonny wants most is a calm, loving home where he can be someone’s steady companion. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle presence who will quietly fill your home with warmth, Sonny may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for.

This adorable boy was born approximately April 27th, 2026. Cashew is a playful, toy-loving kitten with a sweet, slightly shy personality.
He loves chasing toys, running around, and especially playing with a cat teaser. He also enjoys the company of his siblings, Elio, Midnight and S’Mores and is happiest when he has opportunities for fun and play.
A little shy when meeting new people, he may need some time to feel comfortable. But bring out a cat teaser, and you’ll quickly capture his attention! With a little patience, gentle encouragement, and love, he’ll have the chance to come out of his shell and show you his charming personality.
When he’s not busy playing, he enjoys his daily naps and is always interested in treats and mealtime. This sweet boy is looking for a loving home where he can feel safe, play to his heart’s content, and continue growing into a confident companion.
He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped, and ready to start his next adventure!

- Submit an Adoption Application for Mr Peabody (Courtesy Posting)
* Courtesy Posting. Please See Below for Contact and Meet & Greet Information. *
Mr. Peabody is a big, handsome 4-year-old all-white cat looking for a loving home of his own. He is a very friendly and affectionate cat who enjoys human company and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loving feline friend. His previous owner was no longer able to keep him because of a difficult housing situation.
Mr. Peabody would be happiest as your one and only feline companion, where he can enjoy all the attention and affection for himself.
Because of his beautiful white coat, Mr. Peabody must be an indoor-only cat to protect his sensitive white skin from sun damage and keep him safe and healthy. And he has an extra-special feature you'll notice his beautiful one blue eye and one gold eye!
Mr. Peabody is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped and ready to find his forever home. If you're looking for a devoted companion who wants to be your one and only cat, Mr. Peabody may be the perfect match.

Stitch is a gorgeous 3½-year-old tuxedo boy with soft, medium-length fur and a wonderfully affectionate personality.
Stitch was bottle-fed from birth as part of a litter of six kittens, so he has known the comfort and companionship of people his entire life. He is healthy, neutered, current on his vaccinations, and loves both affection and playtime.
He currently lives with an older feline “brother” and gets along well with him. With a thoughtful introduction, Stitch may be a good match for a home with another friendly cat. He could also be very happy as the center of someone’s attention.
Sadly, Stitch’s elderly owner is experiencing health challenges and can no longer provide the care and attention he deserves. This sweet boy has been deeply loved, and we are hoping to help him find a secure, loving home where he can begin his next chapter.
Stitch is being shared as a courtesy posting and is not currently in the care of Peter Zippi Memorial Fund. Additional information about his location, adoption process, and any applicable adoption requirements can be provided to interested applicants.

* Courtesy Posting. Please See Below for Contact and Meet & Greet Information. *
This handsome tabby boy is about 7 months old and has come a long way since he was first found outdoors. After spending time in a home and learning that people are pretty wonderful, he has blossomed into an affectionate, social kitten who loves being part of the action.
He follows his people around the house, enjoys attention and has earned a reputation as a serious sweetheart. One of his particularly adorable habits is reaching out to “hold hands” with his people.
He also gets along well with other cats and enjoys playing with the cats in his foster home. Their presence helped him gain confidence as he adjusted to indoor life. He could be a nice match for a home with another friendly cat, but he may also do well as the only cat with plenty of attention and companionship from his people.
He is neutered, has tested negative for FeLV/FIV and has received his first FVRCP vaccination. He will still need his remaining age-appropriate vaccinations.
This sweet boy has already made the transition from an uncertain outdoor kitten to a happy member of a household. Now he just needs a family of his own.

Jeremy is a handsome orange and white cat who was rescued in Redondo Beach and is currently being cared for in foster while he waits for a home of his own.
He is estimated to be about 2–3 years old, neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, and up to date on vaccinations.
Jeremy is friendly with people and does well with other cats. He can be a little shy when first meeting new people or entering a new environment, but he has a gentle and calm nature and settles in once he feels safe.
He would likely do best in a home that can give him a little time to adjust and build confidence. With patience and kindness, Jeremy has the potential to become a very devoted companion.
