Hi, I’m Poppy! I was rescued from a feral cat colony in 2016 by the amazing Surfcat Cat Rescue. I was heavily pregnant, but a kind woman named Leslie Ann Weiss, who is also the executive director and president of Surfcat Rescue, set me up with a “maternikitty” suite and everything I needed to deliver and nurse my kittens. Due to my very hard start in life, I was understandably not the friendliest kitty, but Leslie managed to get me and my daughter, Izzie, a wonderful forever home together. I quickly became a slightly chonky lap cat. Life is good—thanks, Leslie! Visit www.Surfcatcafe.com to learn how you can help Leslie save more cats like me!

Hi, I’m Loulou! I’m a 4-year-old Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix, rescued as a puppy from a goat farm in Bakersfield. I enjoy napping, eating, and barking. At my latest vet visit, I weighed in at 116 pounds, but I’m a big-boned gal with exceptionally dense fur, which obviously adds an extra 10 pounds. My family says I’ll be taking longer walks for the next few months to help me tone up and get back to my usual svelte self. See you around the neighborhood!

I’m Ralphie a 5-year-old mini poodle mix. I love to fetch balls and hang out in the garden.

Moesley is an 18-month-old Chocolate Lab. He loves to hike and play with as many toys as possible in his mouth! And look for sea lions.

I’m Mitten a 5-year-old Tortoise Shell.

In the heart of Casita Boricua, Tiger Lily reigns as the embodiment of love and playful spirit. Adopted by Juanita Vega, she arrived as a stray, filling the void left by her predecessor with boundless affection and joy. Tiger Lily’s days are filled with camaraderie, as she hosts feline gatherings in the lush native garden. With an appetite for fresh cooked turkey dinners and the thrill of chasing butterflies, this two-year-old darling embodies the essence of love and companionship, enriching every moment with her presence.

I’m Peanut a 5-month-old Maltipoo. I love running, snuggling and reading the Ventura Breeze (especially the Pet Page, I wish I got to meet Professor Scamp) with mom.

Sydney is a German Shepherd mix 10 months old.

Rescued by Mira from Westside German Shepherd Rescue in LA.

Her name is Tatum aka Tatiebuggie aka Tatertot. She has two big sisters, Piper the Rottweiler and Cali the Cane Corso/Rottweiler. They weigh over four times as much as Tatum, only in size though. She is queen of the household. And she definitely puts them in their place.
