This very beautiful 12-year old Calico has just lost her only owner, and is trying to adjust to her new life. She’s lovely to look at, her coat is super soft and lush and look at those whiskers! Her foster tells me she is doing very well, although still quite shy and a bit skittish. She loves to cuddle, have her tummy scratched, her tail stroked and sleeps with her foster most nights. She’s beginning to play, enjoys her tree and the view outside. She ‘chatters’ a bit when she wants attention, doesn’t jump on tables etc. and all in all, she’s just a lovely kitty looking for a new companion to spend the rest of her life with. Cali has been vet checked and is in excellent condition. Her shots are up to date and she’s been chipped. Now she just needs a new and loving home to take her in and love her a lot. Perhaps that is you?

Cali has a video you will enjoy seeing too !

This precious girl has had a pretty hard time of it these past few months. Her first and only owner was no longer able to care for her, and Mindy was left pretty much on her own with food, water and no companionship. As a result she is shy, a little overweight and just ‘looking for love’. She’s still a bit skittish around newcomers, but soon warms up and allows a warm welcome. Mindy is 9 years old, a beautiful brown and black Tabby with great big eyes. She’s been vet-checked, her shots up-dated and she’s been groomed. She is also chipped. She’s on a weight-loss diet and its working well. Her Foster tells me she has warmed up to her quickly, liking to be petted, stroked and just plain loved. She’s a lap cat for sure – and likes to snuggle next to her. She’s in heaven when brushed – loves that ‘glove’. Mindy is playful – chases balls and enjoys string toys too. She’s just looking for that forever home that she was so used to for so long. Perhaps she’s just what you are looking for in a friend.

You will be very glad you did.

The Laguna Woods Cat Club has just welcomed a beautiful 4 year old kitty into our Adoption Program. Her name is Jeane and she came to us because her loving owner recently passed away. She is a beautiful grey with white markings, paws and chest, and her coat is thick and silky. Her foster, Tom, says she is a delightful companion, sweet tempered and loving. She’s been vet checked, has no health issues, is up to date on her shots, and she is chipped. Jeane is a good eater, always uses her litter box, thank you very much, and has no bad habits. She enjoys her scratching post, her tower, and gazing out at the world around her foster's home. She plays with wands and feather toys, and gets along with dogs. Jeane likes to be groomed, stroked, and can be picked up. All in all, a lovely cat looking for a loving home.

You will be so glad you did.

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 its care. On this basis, we reserve the right to deny an application. However, because we are so thorough, 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.
The Adoption Process
*To find your perfect companion, go to lagunawoodscatclub.com and click on “adoptable cats.” Also check out our kitties on Pet Finders and Adopt-a-Pet.
*Call the number on our site for our Director of Adoptions. Arrange to meet the kitty in which you are interested.
*Complete an Adoption Application and email or send it to the address on the form.
*Arrange a home visit. Cats are very clever escape artists and relentlessly curious. We will visit your home and point out possible hazards or places in which they can get into trouble.
*Arrange for the transfer of the kitty and its stuff to its new forever home!
* The adoption fee will be applied at the finalization of the adoption .
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 you 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.
