Amelia was apart of a loving home for 15 years, but unfortunately her owner passed away and left her without a home. She ended up returning to our foundation and has been settling well since. Amelia might be a little older, but she is overall in good health and warming up more and more each day. This sweet senior is ready to join a new home that can love and care for her in her golden years.

Visitors may not even notice Blake. That is partly by his design. Blake arrived in 2018, as a victim of Florida's Hurricane Imra. He has remained a quiet, respectful member of the enclosure; and he is wary of new people and of too much physical attention. HOWEVER, volunteers and staff have watched him make progress with familiar people in the Lange environment. He knows his name and does want to connect! We have just had to learn his *language.* In Blake's world, he is really "leaning in" and open when you see him watching you. He may come over and perch in your proximity, rest his head in his paws and turn his chin up towards you. It's not necessarily an invitation--but it is definitely an overture! Blake will likely have a nice life here at Lange. But a special adopter that can provide him with the stability and security he craves--it would truly mean the world to this gentle little fellow who has already been through so much.

Boo was rescued from the East Valley shelter after being abadoned by his owner at a local vet. He had a massive wound on his neck that needed immediate medical care. We were contacted and rushed to take him directly to the vet. They were able to close his wound with several stitches and he spent 2 weeks healing. Unfortunately, even though his wound healed great he tested positive for FIV. He is a bold and sweet boy that would love a home that understands his special needs and provide a safe loving space.

This gorgeous girl came to us with an upper respiratory infection and a pyometra issue. We got her vet attention as soon as she arrived to our sanctuary and ensured she received the best care possible. She now has a clean bill of health and is ready to find her forever home! She can be a bit shy but with a bit of patience, she will be sure to show you what a loving and sweet girl she is.

Chloe is a shy girl. She is a gorgeous, short haired tabby with bright green eyes and a serious stare. Chloe is slowly learning to trust people. She loves playing with the other cats in her room and chasing after run-away mouse toys. Earning the trust of a shy kitty takes time and patience and a lot of treat bribery, but you will be rewarded with a special bond and a one-of-a-kind friend.

Chrissy is a tall, beautiful and playful tabby girl. She was scared when she first came to us, but is slowly starting to trust people. When a shy cat warms up and bonds with a person, the reward is a very loyal and affectionate friend. Chrissy gets along great with the other cats and enjoys her time around them. All this gorgeous girl needs is a patient person to give her love, gentle affection and a safe place where she can bloom into the amazing cat she truly is.

Cinema was found as a stray stuck in the hood of a car. He was extremely malnourished and dehydrated upon his arrival to St. Bonnie's Sanctuary. After sometime to recuperate Cinemas personality slowly began to show. He is a very mellow boy and enjoys spending his time lounging in his bed. He is a gentle soul and can be very sweet and affectionate. Cinema is overall a great little guy who deserves nothing but the best.

Cutie Pie has lived nearly all of her life at Lange Foundation--after she was surrendered by her owner when she was just two. She is one of those cats who has faced several challenges living in the kennel environment. These challenges have given her a bit of a Reputation and have made it difficult for her to find a forever home. Always a curious and affectionate cat, she easily approached visitors and volunteers. But she would get overstimulated when other cats would come near for their share of attention. She also would become uncomfortable when pet--particularly along her back. So visitors would misread her cues and she would snap. And what would start out as a nice friendly session would end up with her beating a disappointed retreat. To add to her burdens, Cutie Pie has recently suffered some loss of vision and is taking (like a champ) medication for arthritis. She has been moved to a quieter room and seems to have no trouble navigating the physical and social environment. She is perhaps even more wary now at being approached by people, so it is still difficult to pet her for any length of time. It's likely that her reactions are deeply ingrained at this point. The best outcome for Cutie Pie is placement with an adopter, where she could learn to form a relationship one-on-one. If she does not find this type of home, she will likely continue to grump her way through life at Lange. Safe, of course. But not living her most full life. How much better if Cutie Pie could find a tranquil and cozy living situation, where she could finally have some piece of mind? Where she doesn't have to compete for resources or attention? This type of adoption is not for everyone. But it is a truly rewarding process to provide space for a cat in this type of need. To know that you have given them the best possible outcome--a real Home! Anecdotal note: Last summer Cutie Pie received a "lion cut" at the groomers. Volunteers found it made all the difference in being able to pet her--that she tolerated being touched all over and she was not reactive. It is not certain if she would tolerate or accept the stress of the grooming process at this point, but it is an observation. Ideally, the best way to start with her in a home environment is to make her feel safe and to let her lead the way and show YOU how she wants to be treated. Are you up to cracking the "Cutie Code?"

Dixie (one of the prettiest cats we've ever seen!) originally came through St. Bonnie's Sanctuary, where she lived until 2016. She was transferred to us with other St. Bonnie's residents and it took her a long time to settle in. She was famous for either hiding in cubby holes--either deep and low or up high. Seated in her trademark "talk to the tail" style: Head In. Tail OUT. Dixie was a whole mood. Not angry. Just not really ready to participate in her new reality. How Dixie handled her feline roommates? Well, she didn't. She only emerged for the necessities--she would pick her way delicately through the room, careful not to encounter the other cats. Slowly, over time, she began to stop and say hi to people in the enclosure--but only if they were on her intended path. And sometimes she would just sit at the door of the enclosure. Staring out as if she knows there is something out there waiting for her. We are looking for just the right adopter/s for gentle Dixie. She has been placed twice before, but returned both times. You can imagine this has not helped Dixie's self esteem! We are certain that Dixie wants to be your ONLY pet. If you are drawn to this beauty, take your time to get to know her. Ask the staff and the volunteers about her. She is a lovely cat! She needs to connect with someone who will, with love and patience, help her be her best authentic self. Someone that is committed to helping her move forward in life with confidence and deserved trust. So that she can enjoy the next chapter of her one, precious life!

Dolce is an extremely shy girl that has underlying sweetness. She likes gentle strokes on her cheeks and enjoys playing with a feather toy. She enjoys other cats and would do well in a multi-cat household. Dolce might not be the most outgoing cat, but with a lot of patience and encouragement in a home she will thrive and become a big ball of love!

Dorothy may be 12 years old but she has a lot of pep in her step! She is a giant love bug and is extremely affectionate. She would prefer to have the entire spot light on her but she can coexist with another feline friend. This beautiful girl is so ready to find a family who love and care for her like the queen she is.

Dottie is a gorgeous Domestic Longhair that was rescued from the East Valley shelter. She has the most luxurious white hair and a wonderful personality to match. Dottie loves humans and wants to be your best friend almost instantly - she has plenty of love to give!

Emma 12 years young Seeking Human Hello I’m Emma and I’m seeking my own human. I’m a beautiful mature calico who has been at St Bonnie’s Sanctuary too long. I’ve decided to take matters into my own hands and will be interviewing worthy humans. I’m up for just about anything as long as it’s my idea. I will find you when it’s time for pets and cuddles. I like laying in the sun for my naps. I do believe I would be okay with a dog as long as the drooling creature knows his place. I have been around too many cats all these years and would prefer a home to myself. And no young children please as I’ve heard that they pull ears and tails. I really don’t need much but I do like things my way. If you are looking for a beautiful mature girl who knows what she wants, please contact St Bonnie’s Sanctuary so an interview can be scheduled. All our cats are FIV and FeLV tested. St. Bonnie's Sanctuary (Lange Foundation) is located in Canyon Country, CA. If you would like to meet any of our cats and kittens, please call us at (661) 251-5590 or email at st.bonnies@gmail.com. We adopt to families/people in the Southern California area only.

Wonderful little Eva is a chatter box who is always asking for attention. Her most favorite thing in the world is being pet and rubbing up against the people she loves. Eva would do great in a home who has lots of love to give! All our cats are FIV and FeLV tested. St. Bonnie's Sanctuary (Lange Foundation) is located in Canyon Country, CA. If you would like to meet any of our cats and kittens, please call us at (661) 251-5590 or email at st.bonnies@gmail.com. We adopt to families/people in the Southern California area only.

Finley came to Lange when he was 3 months old. It was January and *not kitten season.* That meant that Finley was not able to learn from his peers how to BE a kitten.He lived with the adult cats for a few months and was very well behaved. But was still tentative and unsure about them and about people. Once it was kitten season and Finley had roommates, he didn't know what to think of them, either! Staff and volunteers have worked with Finley since his arrival and have found him to be a sweet and loving little boy, even though he is scared. There are two things that have made a huge improvement in Finley's life--a cat friend named Rampage and learning how to play. Rampage was a lot like Finley when he arrived at Lange. They found a friend in each other. You can often see them sitting or snuggling together. And both of them CAN NOT RESIST a toy or laser light. Pro-tip: instead of heading directly in to pet Finley, try picking up that feather wand! Call his name. See if you can get him going. We bet you can! Rampage will likely join in. They just can't help it! If you are interested in helping two shy boys help each other--take some time to get to know Finley and Rampage. A home with patience and love, and with human/s who "get" them like they "get" each other is just what they are looking for.

Freddie was rescued from the East Valley shelter after being surrendered from a hoarding situation. He was in a home with 30 other cats and when we first brought him into our care was dealing with a serious upper respiratory infection. After his course of antibiotics, he is doing infinitely better and showcasing his sweet and friendly side. Freddie is ready to find his true forever home!

There are so many words to describe Ginger. And many of them are contradictory! She is at once sweet and fiesty; needy and easily irritated; brave and reactive. Ginger has been at Lange since the age of two. She is definitely very sensitive to the environment around her and she will let you know what is on her mind. Sometimes it comes in the form of telling a visitor that she loves them, but is DONE being pet; or being angry when another cat is picking on her. On a positive note, Ginger has found a wonderful outlet for when things get to be "too much"--she uses the exercise wheel! This self-care practice has been very helpful for her and she also would love to play more...but the other cats get in the way! Ginger does not want your sympathy or pity. She wants to be who she is. And who doesn't want that? We feel she would hugely benefit in a home environment with an adopter who understands her needs and loves her for ever single quality that makes her perfectly...Ginger!

Meet Hannah, a gorgeous orange and white female cat. Hannah came to St. Bonnie’s as a mother with tiny kittens. She raised fantastic kittens who all have been adopted and this stunning girl is now waiting for her turn. She is a bit shy at first but gets more comfortable as time goes by. She has been fostered in the past and definitely blossoms in a home. Hannah likes to be petted, held and is a purrer. She plays with wand toys and gets along with other friendly cats…what more could one ask for. Please call St. Bonnie’s Sanctuary at 661/251-5590 to meet her. All our cats are FIV and FeLV tested. St. Bonnie's Sanctuary (Lange Foundation) is located in Canyon Country, CA. If you would like to meet any of our cats and kittens, please call us at (661) 251-5590 or email at st.bonnies@gmail.com. We adopt to families/people in the Southern California area only. For more information, visit our website: http://langefoundation.org

Young Hope was found without a tail and extremely malnourished. She did not appear to have had a very good history at such a young age. Unfortunately as a result, Hope is incontinent due to her trauma. Despite her sad past Hope is a silly and loving little girl. She loves being the center of attention at all times. Hope needs someone who will bathe her regularly and won't mind some extra clean up. She is as happy as ever despite her little quirks and we are looking for the right home for our special girl. If you are interested in learning more about our Hope, give us a call today! All our cats are FIV and FeLV tested. St. Bonnie's Sanctuary (Lange Foundation) is located in Canyon Country, CA.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE CAT. Houdini was wearing his collar and tag when he was turned into the East Valley Shelter in 2019; and there he remained unclaimed. The Lange Foundation picked him up, after realizing at first glance--this was one special kitty. Houdini is a large, muscular athlete--with energy to spare! He is an extremely intelligent cat that bores easily. He is also an adept escape artist (!) that likes to get into mischief. Mostly, he is a comical, sweet brat of a boy! (We mean that in the best possible sense). In the atrium enclosure, Houdini has caught the attention of many visitors--but soon scares them off with his "EXTRA-ness." Anyone interested in adopting Houdini must understand that he is unusually high-spirited and quite stubborn. To thrive, he will require a confident human/s who will be happy to provide exercise through LOTS OF PLAY, exercise, mental stimulation and enrichment. Houdini may prove to be open to training--he certainly has the smarts for it! He would also prefer full-time companionship and of course, plenty of affection. Because Houdini is literally MORE CAT than 99% of the general population--it's important to fully understand that he is more than a house pet--and he will require a greater care commitment than your average cozy house cat. In reality, Houdini is more like a LIFESTYLE. And because Houdini does not like to share the limelight very gracefully, he needs to be your ONLY. With the right, dedicated human support, Houdini has the makings of a unique and stunning companion! Are you up for the challenge?

JJ is a handsome but EXTREMELY shy boy who likes to be on his own. JJ does best if he has somewhere he can hide and come out only when he is comfortable. At this point, he is a little curious about, but not good with people. He would need a very dedicated and patient person to help him overcome the neglect he experienced early in his life. JJ cannot be in a home with small children.

There's no denying Jackie has had some rough patches in her life! She was adopted and in a home for several years. When her owner passed away, she was left all alone in the house for THREE MONTHS until she was finally brought to Lange in 2015. Since she's been back in the kennel, it's clear that this trauma has taken its toll. While she is friendly, she still does not trust people. At first, she will seem fine--but gets stressed out when visitors, volunteers or staff move too quickly or are too physically demonstrative with her. She also has some difficulty feeling free in the kennel environment. She will want to play with you, but she doesn't love having to share the space with other cats. So be mindful that it may be difficult during a visitation for her to show you; but she is an enthusiastic chaser-of-the-laser-light! A Mistress of the Feather Wand! Jackie would love to live her life out in a peaceful home, with a compassionate and undemanding adopter. Are you the one that would allow this special girl to learn to trust and love in a forever home?

Jackson is a TRUE Rescue Cat! He was found wandering the streets in the aftermath of 2017's Hurricane Irma. A good samaritan took him in; and the following year he and 3 other cats were flown from Florida to our facility. Jackson seemed to be one of the least affected, emotionally speaking, from this dramatic experience. He has a naturally quiet nature, which has remained constant since his arrival. Jackson can usually be found in the middle of the atrium, soaking up the atmosphere and taking everything in with a very zen attitude. He is one of those cats that the other feline residents like to sit by. He is seen as a friend to all. Jackson does have a few common health issues--he has chronic nasal congestion due to feline herpes, as well as skin allergies. It's hard to say if they pre-date his Hurricane experience, but they have been apparent since his arrival and are certainly exacerbated by living in the kennel environment. They do seem to get in his way of feeling truly comfortable, particularly when he is initially getting to know people. When you try to pet him, you might find that he gets a little excited or distracted. It's not that Jackson doesn't want touch or attention. He is just reminded suddenly that he is stuffed up and a little itchy. We encourage you to talk to him and get to know him first by just hanging out. Stay for a little chat--his steady, child-like eye contact and little silent meows are adorable! Staff and volunteers know him to be a truly darling fellow who makes a real heart connection. The pets and physical touch can come gradually. And in a peaceful home, with steady nourishment (emotionally and physically speaking), Jackson is sure to open up more and more...rewarding an adopter with his lovely companionship for years to come!

Jovi was originally a kitten with us and quickly adopted. Unfortunately, after being in a home for 14 years, circumstance changed and Jovi was returned into our care. He is an extremely handsome brown tabby that is affectionate and very sweet to new visitors. Jovi is hoping to find a home that can truly be forever.

Karl came to Lange during kitten season, as a stray from East Valley Shelter. Karl has spent the majority of his young life in the company of many friendly, young cats. He is truly a "beta" type--never one to cause trouble and one who gets along well with every cat in the room. Because he does not put himself front and center, Karl often reads as "shy." We feel he just needs continued help to gain confidence and boost his self-esteem. You will see glimmers of a truly enthusiastic cat when he joins in and plays. He is eager and so enjoys the interaction! Karl would make a wonderful, easy addition to a home with another easy-going cat. He just needs that love, focus and some friends to help him shine bright!

Vivacious, spirited Katie. This energetic lady has so much life and love to give! She is known as the official Lange Greeter, from the way she meets every incoming person with enthusiasm and a tongue bath. It's important to know that Katie has had several bumps in her life. She came to Lange in 2017, after being surrendered by her owner because they were moving. She has been placed with an adopter twice, which has not worked out. Each time, the adopter did not keep her for very long. Each time, it has taken time and effort on her part to readjust to the disappointment of being back. We are looking for the perfect placement for Katie. In a home where she is the ONLY cat. We also need an interested adopter to understand this reality: Katie will take a long while to fully settle into a new home. It could be several months where she is likely to be cranky and very put out at yet another change in her life. With her large capacity for emotion and expression, she is going to let you know about it! It will require a home that will help her ride that out with patience, calm and good humor. With adopter/s that are up for that challenge. We know all of these complexities to be true about Katie. We also know what it looks like when she experiences Joy. And that it is a sight to behold! Funny and affectionate. Zesty and adorable. That's just Katie.

Kensi came to Lange as a tiny singleton and was adopted out shortly after she arrived. She only remained at that home for two months. As a result, her behavior upon return suggested that she had missed out on socialization with humans. While she was very friendly and all her language cried out for human contact, she became very reactive to being handled in almost any way or form! That said, she is still eager to play with toys (she loves a good feather wand) and does like people. These ingrained traits do not mean that she would not love a a home or human companionship - we have seen first hand that she has the potential to change. She would be well-suited for an adopter that understands her history and how it manifests itself in this athletic, engaging little girl. So that she can move forward in her young life and live it out with freedom and the potential to learn, be and grow!

Leslie Winkle is no fool! That is perhaps why she is still at Lange, after coming in as a Mama-Cat in 2011. Leslie Winkle is one of those smart cats that senses "something's up" when she is being shown or appraised--she is simply will not play the *adopt me* game. This cautious attitude makes it difficult for her to "show well" with people she doesn't know. We suggest that you meet her for yourself, ideally over a few visits. You'll notice that she is front and center when people hang out in the enclosure. Be sure to admire her unusual black coat and tortie markings--so pretty! She's a staff and volunteer favorite--one that likes to sit close and look up at you with adoring eyes. She also likes to play quietly with a toy when the situation arises and loves a good sunbeam. Play it cool and you will fall in love with this sweet kitty who so deserves a home to call her own!

Lovesky is our senior domestic longhair that was recently returned after several years in a home. Unfortunately, her owner was no longer physically able to care for her and so Lovesky now finds herself back at Lange Foundation. She is a sweet but slightly shy torbie that is looking for a home to enjoy her golden years.

Lyra was one of 14 cats we rescued from he East Valley shelter who came in from a hoarding situation. She is an older lady, but SO full of life and love. Of all the cats from that group, she was the most outgoing and friendly right off the bat. She doesn't have any hang ups from her pervious life and is just ready to start a new chapter of her life.

Dear Maddie is one of the most overlooked and underrated cats at Lange Foundation! She has been a resident since 2013, when her family surrendered her to the Lancaster Shelter at the tender age of 1. So the life here is almost all she has ever known. Because Maddie loves to sit quietly in the sunshine and is respectful of visitors, she does not always call out for the attention she deserves. Staff and volunteers know, however, that she would make an amazing companion for any adopter! The key to Maddie's heart is gentleness, kindness and patience. Once she opens up, she is one of the most loving and affectionate cats you will ever meet. She also has an endearingly playful nature and loves to take turns chasing the laser light, with the other cats. We just know that she would love to open up even more in a home environment. Will you give Maddie the chance to be the Queen of your domain?

Beautiful Malory lived in a home for 7 years when she was returned to Lange because her owners moved out of the Country. She lived at Lange until she was adopted again. This only lasted 6 months and her most recent owner returned her because they failed to connect--so much so that the owner borrowed a trap to catch Mallory. During the in-between times, Malory has been many things. She has been playful and full of fun. She has been loving. She has been confused and overwhelmed by the other cats. She has been depressed. More recently, she has been hiding her days away, because she can't find the fun any more. We know for sure that Malory CAN connect with people! She remembers staff and volunteer friends, even over time. And is a very loyal and loving girl. Malory is a truly sensitive cat, one who feels things deeply. She can get stressed when she feels that physical contact is too fast or too much. She does not "show" well with visitors. And that makes sense--why should she trust a stranger, when she has not been able to trust those who are meant to care for her. The real shame of it all, is that she is not really the shy and timid cat, always hidden from view. This is just the outside shell of a cat that people have failed. Inside, there is a magnificent creature. One that will need your help to emerge and grow. Although she is physically "safe" here at the Halfway Home Kennel, Malory is in true need of Rescue. She requires a home where she will be a beloved, treasured member of the family. Forever. Could it be with you?

Maple and Waffle are sweet girls who came from the same home. They were abandoned in their neighborhood and a good Samaritan continued to care for them until they were no longer able to do so because of landlord issues. We stepped in to rescue these two girls as they were so sweet and were longing to be saved. Maple and Waffle are both very gentle cats and would love to find a home where they could be together. In addition they both need to be on a strict diet regime as they are both on the heavier side. These two beauties are ready to find a safe and loving home.

Marie Antoinette was originally rescued as a kitten, found living inside a tire behind an Auto Parts store. She was brought into our care and quickly adopted. Unfortunately, after 11 years in a home, medical issues have forced her owner to relinquish her back to us. This Lynx Point Siamese is a sweet and vocal cat. Marie Antoinette would love to get back into a loving home, where she can spend her days relaxing and being treated like the queen that she is!

Our boy Mikey is the ultimate cool cat. Found as a stray, he was turned into the South LA Shelter in 2018. While he has been at Lange Foundation, he has been overlooked time and again. His striking looks get him noticed and he has visitors returning--but his laid back manner has not seemed to "seal the deal." One theory: Mikey is not a NEEDY cat. He is a truly well-balanced fellow. While he is friendly, he does not demand. Mikey loves to hang out in high places, watching the world go by. He loves to play and can usually be coaxed into fun by staff and volunteers. He gets along fine with his kennel mates and has enjoyed romping with playful, friendly cats. If you are looking for a steady, pleasant presence, with room to evolve, Mikey's your man.

Milo is a super sweet and affectionate kitten. He plays well with other cats and will benefit from going to a home with another kitty. He will suckle on anything and everything and will purr up a storm the minute you pick him up. Milo is eagerly waiting for his forever family to come and scoop him up!

Misty was found inside a car engine and rescued by a good samaritan. We took her into our care and treated burns she sustained on her paws. She healed well and is showing off her sweet personality!

This handsome man is all eyes! Poor Momo was in a home for about 5 years before his previous humans gave him up due to unfortunate circumstances on the humans part. Momo and his big beautiful green eyes is missing a home to call his own. He is litter boxed trained and gets along with other cats. He has been around dogs in the past and is believed to get along well with them as well. Momo loves to bird watch and is very sweet. He is also very vocal and he loves to converse with his humans! Momo is a great cat and deserves a loving home. ----------------------------- All our cats are FIV and FeLV tested. St. Bonnie's Sanctuary (Lange Foundation) is located in Canyon Country, CA.

Moose's previous family had to turn her into the shelter when they moved and that's where we rescued her. Moose would do best in a single cat home where she can be left to do as she pleases. She is a great cat, but can be a little moody when she wants to be left alone. Come meet her today and see if Moose is the right cat for you! All our cats are FIV and FeLV tested.

Mr. Grey was rescued along with 3 other cats from the streets of Fort Lauderdale, FL following the devastation of Hurricane Irma. A good samaritan picked up these poor cats and has provided a home until now. We agreed to take these cats here to help find them a loving home.

Nicky arrived to our Sanctuary with multiple open wounds on her left hind leg. It did not look good for Nicky so quickly rushed her to the emergency vet minutes after she arrived to our Sanctuary. Due to the old wounds the vet made the decision to amputate her leg. After sometime to heal Nicky is now ready to find her forever home. Despite her disability Nicky moves around just fine. She can be a bit shy at first but she will be purring in your hands in no time at all. Nicky would do best in a quiet home with a family who will make her feel safe and secure.

Nigel is one handsome man. This sweet boy is very into just relaxing and hanging out with his humans. He has a very calm and mellow temperament and is perfectly content lounging on a cat tree and staring out the window. He like to watch the birds fly by and is very accepting of cuddles. Nigel is a very sweet and independent cat who is ready for his forever home! ----------------------------- All our cats are FIV and FeLV tested.

Did you know that delightful Oreo has been at Lange for the majority of her life? We know her to be such a fun, communicative and loving girl, so this is really surprising! She may not have connected with an adopter yet because while she is very friendly and open, she does have definite boundaries with new people. So save the immediate belly rub that you would like to give her. Get to know her! This won't take long at all; and you will find that she is such a comical and silly friend. One that would make an ideal companion or family cat. All Oreo would like is to be adored. You'll find that once she knows you, she is more than ready to adore you right back!

Padme is a super sweet and playful girl. She came to us with one kitten and adopted five orphaned kittens who needed to nurse. She has a big heart and a one of a kind personality. Sweet Padme loves everyone she meets and is eagerly waiting for a family to call her own.

Heroic, resilient and goofy Pandora. This little girl has been through a lot in her young life and through it all she has been a joy. Because she is so full of joy! Pandora came to Lange as a tiny kitten with a prolapsed rectum and chronic diarrhea. We worked diligently to find ways to help her and what finally worked was...can you believe it...a poop transplant! Healthy fecal matter was introduced into her digestive tract and now Pandora has a healthy stool! Pandora is an extremely happy cat. The only thing she doesn't like is to have her bottom cleaned, which is understandable! She is a real charmer that will go out of her way to get your attention--she literally will turn somersaults to catch your eye. Pandora gets along great with all dogs, cats and people. She approaches everyone as her friend. She gets along most famously with fellow quirky kitty, SULLIVAN. Pandora does still need some help and work with the litter box. She is getting the hang of how "regular" elimination works and where to put it. She is looking for a home that understands the health hurdles she has overcome. One that will embrace her as the little ray of sunshine she is, and celebrate her daily!

Our very special boy! We rescued Pebbles from the North Central Shelter, after his family surrendered him with a urinary tract infection. He was very angry and wary when he first arrived. It seemed clear that he had experienced a rough life and didn't trust that people can be nice. With time, very gentle treatment and a focus of positive interactions, he has mellowed so much! Pebbles is looking for just the right, patient person/s to help him overcome his previous trauma and trust issues. We believe that there is a teddy bear in there somewhere; and that he will make even more progress outside of the kennel environment. Where Pebbles can fully relax in comfort, perhaps learn to play, and most importantly--experience the miracle of Love!

Puff was in a home for many year, but unfortunately due to circumstances in the household, Puff ended up at the Palmdale Shelter. This 15 year old beauty is very sweet and affectionate to people and wants nothing more than to join a forever home. Puff is hyperthyroid and requires medication twice a day to control her levels. She is good about taking her medication and thriving in our care.

Such a big name for such a shy little boy! Rampage came to Lange when he was 2 months old, at the height of Kitten Season. He was found as a stray on the streets, so it came as no surprise when we noticed that he was always tucked deep in the recesses of the cat furniture. Attempts to socialize him were met with something more disheartening than if he lashed out and tried to hurt us; he would instead just turn into an unresponsive, limp lump. Surprisingly, Rampage never seemed to mind the many other kittens he shared space with--they viewed him as a non-threatening, warm little body to curl up next to. But he never seemed to catch on from either humans or cats, the basic social skills that would have made it simpler for him to navigate the world. But that all changed when he became friends with fellow "shy guy," FINLEY. No one really knows just when they formed this alliance. But like PB & J, it's hard to think of them without one another! They give each other the confidence to play and have fun with staff and volunteers (we recommend the feather wand!). They have also really enjoyed being up front with the adult cats in the larger room and Cattio space. These boys would LOVE to live their lives together. With an adopter that celebrates their quiet, endearing ways and treasures their very special bond

This is a remarkable kitty, right here. When Lange rescued Riley in December, 2019, she was in very bad shape. A huge wound ran the length of her back and she had an obstruction in her intestines. After surgery, to remove a seed pod that was causing this blockage, her liver was in distress due to the poor nutrition she had experienced on the streets. Riley went into a wonderful foster home, where she could receive continual care to help her build her weight back up and rest that liver. She did very well in that home environment, considering how critical her condition had been. And now we are thrilled to say that she is back at the kennel, fully recovered and so very ready to find a home of her own! From the moment she arrived at Lange, Riley was SO trusting and loving. It was as if she knew that we were all trying to help her get back on her feet. And this sweetness continues--it is just who she is. She is so eager to connect! Her eye contact is off the charts. Her chatty, chirping vocalizations are truly adorable. It's hard to remember that this petite little lady is a full-grown adult cat. When she came back from foster care, she was placed in the Kitten Room, with cats that were near her own size. Well, let's just say, she was not a real fan of these teenagers and their antics--she found it hard to claim staff, volunteers and visitors for her own! She has since been staying up in the adult enclosure, where she loves exploring the Catio and the cat bridge. She is learning to tolerate her more seasoned peers up there; and she appears to be good with dogs! But Riley is at her peak-best when she is one-on-one with people. She would make THE MOST devoted and darling companion. Are you able to offer this miraculous little girl the chance of her lifetime?

ROCKET MAN! Rocket is a recent arrival here at Lange Foundation. He was picked up, wandering as a stray cat. The poor fellow had burn marks on his legs, either from possible abuse or from some incident while he was living rough. Once he was taken into our care, his wounds were treated, he was neutered and he was placed into the general cat population in the catio/front room enclosure. Rocket stood out at once--he had absolutely no trouble adjusting to his new surroundings! He was, and continues to be, open and friendly to the other cats. He simply ADORES people. And he shows no sign of trauma from anything that may have happened in his prior life--he is just a well-adjusted, sweet boy! Rocket knows his name--just call him and he will respond in his chatty, chirpy way--coming to you on the double! His cheerful, optimistic attitude is infectious. At five years of age, he is still a young man with so much joy to give. He would likely be a great addition to a multi-cat household. Rocket will be the delight of any home!

Shellay is truly one of the most interesting cats. Visitors are often drawn to her petite size and pretty markings; but find that she can be hard to approach and resistant to their overtures. Then there are other times when she is super loving and open. You see then how she gets the reputation for being a little fickle--of blowing "hot and cold." Volunteers and staff know that the best approach is to literally ask her if she is in the mood for a visit. If she is not, you will know it--she will shrink away from you. If she is, she will come when called and love you up. Just respect her vibe. That's all she wants. Don't rush in--and you'll find that the relationship and love starts from there! The other cats in the enclosure view her as a calming, steady presence. A safe "ally" that they are able to sleep next to and hang out with. And to add another layer of enigma, this soft, quiet girl will zip around the room, in a move that even the most playful of Lange cats can't match. She's so beautiful. So truly fascinating. In sum, she is an original. She is Shellay.

Shemp was rescue from the East Valley shelter after being surrendered to the shelter from a hoarding situation. He was in a home with 30 other cats. Unfortunately, during his time in that home, he contracted FIV. He is a very sweet boy that is slowly but surely becoming more and more confident! Shemp is a young boy that is ready to find a responsible and loving home to call his own!

Independent and energetic Sophie was rescued from the Palmdale Shelter at 2 months of age. She lived at St. Bonnie's Sanctuary until January, 2020. Sophie is still learning how to navigate life at the kennel. She is very active and loves to zoom through the cat tunnel, play with toys and explore the Cattio enclosure. The staff has found her to be friendly--often following them around the enclosure, seeking attention. One thing about Sophie--she can get overstimulated and appear feisty. With people, she gives ample notice and a few gentle nips or a soft paw swat. When she gets frustrated, she is more likely to act out towards another cat in the room. Whether Sophie is just a little overwhelmed, if she lacks the social skills, or if she is a true Sassypants--time will tell. In the meantime, staff and volunteers will be working with her to become the Best Possible Sophie. Until she finds that perfect adopter who will provide this young beauty with a home where she can live in comfort, ease and love for the rest of her life!

There is something so tough and so tender about Sullivan. Part of this due to his poignant start in life. He was found underneath a trash can. Alone and with a birth defect that prevented his eyelids from forming completely. We think that this feature gives him a mischievous look, which matches his personality perfectly. Sully is an absolutely wonderful boy! Definitely more of a dog than a cat; he's a sometimes wild boy, who also loves a good cuddle. Fun Facts: Sullivan wakes up from a nap super cute and snuggly. He has earned a reputation for "Most Hangry Boy" at Lange In his lean teenage days he was sometimes overwhelmed and defensive with so many other kitty residents. Over time, he's made so much progress. We've loved watching Sullivan getting more settled into his own skin. He's found a fast friend in the light-hearted PANDORA--they are hilarious together! Sullivan is one of those truly unique cats that we know will live a full, rich life as a solo companion--or in a home with any other cat that is mellow and sweet. His care is easy--he just requires an eye drop twice a day. If you would like to know more about this handsome fellow, just ask the staff!

Sweet Pea is a beautiful orange and white female cat who came to St. Bonnie’s Sanctuary as a young mother with kittens. She has raised her kittens and is now looking for a home. Sweet Pea’s name suits her well as she is truly a sweet girl, but she can be shy at first. This beautiful girl was in foster care for a bit where she let down her guard. She was accepting of pets and brushing, and purred her gratitude. Sweet Pea also played with toys by herself and a wand toy with her foster. This adorable girl needs a kind and gentle person to make her feel safe and then she can blossom into the fantastic cat that she is destined to be. Please call St. Bonnie’s Sanctuary at 661-251-5590 to meet her.

Tomato is our handsome orange tabby that was rescued from the city shelter after sustaining injuries to his pelvis. We took him into our care and our orthopedic surgeon let us know that his pelvis was healing nicely on its own and did not require surgery. He has been healing at our facility and showcasing his lovely personality! His pelvis will heal over the next month, but he will forever have a strange gait while walking. Tomato is ready for his next chapter!

Turner wants to be your best girl! Adopted as a kitten, her family returned her at 4 years of age. She has adapted to being back at the kennel--but it has taken a toll on her self-esteem. This manifests in her sleeping the day away and not grooming as often as she should. We KNOW her full potential, because she spent several months as a "Featured Lange Cat"--in a room of her very own. Did she ever bloom! In no time, she was super-chatty, playful and endearingly happy! When she was placed back into the general population, she was really disappointed. She reverted back to the reserved, sleepy girl of "before." Are you willing to give this sweet girl a chance? She is going to make a lucky adopted a devoted, ever-grateful companion.

This handsome boy is a little shy and is still working on building up some confidence. Twinky is being socialized as much as possible to ensure him that he is safe and out of harms way. He is currently being fostered and his foster says he is an incredibly sweet and playful kitten. Twinky would do well in a home who will be patient with him as he comes to terms with his new environment while showering him with love and affection.

Vader is a young boy looking for a family who will love and care for him as much as he will love and care for them. He is quite affectionate and enjoys being in the presence of his favorite humans. In addition, he is quite independent and spends his days bird watching and sun bathing. This fancy man is eagerly awaiting a home to call his own.

Maple and Waffle are sweet girls who came from the same home. They were abandoned in their neighborhood and a good Samaritan continued to care for them until they were no longer able to do so because of landlord issues. We stepped in to rescue these two girls as they were so sweet and were longing to be saved. Maple and Waffle are both very gentle cats and would love to find a home where they could be together. In addition they both need to be on a strict diet regime as they are both on the heavier side. These two beauties are ready to find a safe and loving home.

Zowie is originally from the Lancaster area, where she lived for many years in a home. When her family moved, they did not include Zowie in this life change. She came to Lange in 2017, understandably disgruntled. From the start, Zowie was an independent and spirited cat. She was not really happy with the other cats and would let them know it! She did like people and loved to play--particularly with the laser light. She was a very sprightly older lady, indeed! Zowie has settled into kennel life at this point. She has mellowed, for sure. She co-exists peacefully with the other cats. And still LOVES people. She is definitely coming into her Golden Years a more serene cat. She is seventeen, so it is not surprising that she does have some minor age-related dental issues. It's also a little more difficult to keep her long black fur in order. So she usually sports a "lion cut" at Lange. We have found that this also has the benefit of making her even more snuggly. She loves a good lap and cuddle! And she is so pretty with her surprising smoke-grey undercoat. The one thing that would make life really perfect for Zowie is a real Home. We realize that Senior Adoptions can be a big "ask." But they can also be so very special! For many people who choose this route--to give a comfortable, loving home to an older animal--it can be one of the most profound and rewarding of experiences! For more information about Zowie, please do inquire! This is one of our favorite types of placements and we would love to help you make it happen.
