<\/p>\nCan you help someone in a tight spot? She\u2019s a member of the feline-rescue community and is desperate for a temporary space for her three cats, all of whom she rescued. She needs a space for them, five weeks at the max. She\u2019ll feed them, scoop poop, play with them and give them love, if that works for the temporary foster. There aren\u2019t any special meds or needs\u2014just a place for them to roost and a friendly windowsill, if available, and the owner will cover food, litter and other expenses. All are indoor cats.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cicily<\/strong> is a 2 1\/12-year-old gray-and-white tuxedo. She’s very playful and social.<\/p>\n Cora<\/strong> is an 8-year-old silver tabby. She\u2019s somewhat of a loner but gets along with other cats.<\/p>\n Cornelia<\/strong>, another silver tabby, was rescued from the outdoors, so she has a bit of skittishness in her. Once she gets to know you, she’s a love bug, but she will probably hide most of the time if someone is in the room.<\/p>\n If you can offer sanctuary, please email pglegjig@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Wrigley Kittens\u00a0<\/a>is a neighborhood group that solidified after its founder, Kelly McHugh Lopes, decided to form a group page for anyone wanting to help rehome cats and assist in the numerous trap\/spay\/neuter efforts she does. It worked very well\u2014some of the people who lived nearby were overjoyed that someone shared their heart, and others realized that they, too, had such a heart.<\/p>\n Wrigley Kittens is also offering staunch support to the human cat mama in the above section. They also deserve a profile; being a smaller group often leaves them in the shadow. Donations can be made via their Facebook page. More importantly, you can directly help with rehoming some of the little guys. Email wrigleykittens@gmail.com<\/a>to adopt any or all. Check the page for more adoptable cats and kittens<\/p>\n Macy Gray, gray tabby with orange dot on her head<\/strong><\/p>\n Hi, my name is Macy Gray<\/strong>! I was found in a backyard along with my mom and my three brothers back last spring. We were all rescued, given our shots, and fixed when we were old enough. Everyone got adopted, even my mom! Except me, that is. Don\u2019t get me wrong\u2014I am happy for them, but I sure would like to go to my forever home soon. I am a quiet 7-month-old girl, a little shy at first, but I warm up quickly and love to cuddle and snuggle with my foster mommy and the other kitties at her house. I am playful and very well behaved, and I have the cutest<\/i> little peach dot on my head! It’s easy to meet me at my foster mom’s house in Long Beach. Just send an email to\u00a0wrigleykittens@gmail.com<\/a>,\u00a0and the nice rescue lady will set it up!<\/p>\n Orange Crush (orange tabby) and Xena (dark tortoiseshell)<\/strong><\/p>\n Hi, my name is Orange Crush<\/strong>! I know it’s a funny name, but it’s kind of perfect because I’m orange, plus I am as sweet and delicious and there is no way to meet me without falling for me! My sister Xena, sitting next to me and I are about 6 months old and have been in foster care for about four months now. Originally, there were six of us, and we were all nearly abandoned by the man who found us, but a nice lady saved us. We all went to another lady’s house, and we all got our shots and got fixed when we were old enough. Our brothers and sister all got adopted, but we are still waiting for our forever homes. Our foster mommy says we are the best kittens she has ever taken care of\u2014sweet, playful, but well mannered and super affectionate. We even come when she calls us. Why wouldn’t we? We love to get cuddles! We would like to stay together, but we can go to separate homes, too. We love everyone\u2014other kitties, dogs, but especially people! My sister and I are living with the rescue lady who runs Wrigley Kittens Rescue, and it’s super easy to meet us\u2014you just need to email her at\u00a0wrigleykittens@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hi, my name is Xena,<\/strong> but my foster mommy also likes to call me Sister Cat because my brother Orange Crush and I are always together, whether we are sleeping or playing. You can read my story\u2014it’s the same as my brother’s, but there is something else you should know about me. I know all the cat people talk about tortie kitties like me having something called “tortitude.” But my foster mommy swears that I only have a little bit of it and that I am the sweetest and most affectionate tortie she has ever met. Well, I don’t know about all that, but I sure do love to be near her and cuddle with her and the foster daddy even more than I like playing with the other kitties and the doggie at her house, which is a lot! She also says I am super-smart and\u2014well, you can see that I am adorable! I would like to stay with my brother, but I would be fine on my own as long as there was another kitty or doggie in the house to play with and humans for me to love. My brother and I are living with the rescue lady who runs Wrigley Kittens Rescue, and it’s super easy to meet us, you just need to email her at\u00a0wrigleykittens@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n K9\u2019s Uncorked Benefit for the Pups<\/strong><\/p>\n Saturday, October 21, 5:00PM\u20138:00PM, Harvey Girls Gallery, 130 \u00bd Main Street, Seal Beach<\/strong><\/p>\n Ticket prices $35 online, $40 at door<\/strong><\/p>\n Who doesn’t love wine and food?
