Meet Freddie: classic orange kitten, loves people
they are trying to place. He sounds like a sweetie. If you or someone you know would like a cat, contact Peter Zippi in Hermosa Beach at 310-379-1264. Volunteers will be at the PetSmart in Hermosa today (Saturday, 8/20/10) from noon to 3 p.m.This beautiful orange and white boy with classic tabby markings caught the eye of a woman who was volunteering at a local shelter.
He had been recently surrendered and was absolutely petrified.
The kind woman pulled him and found him a wonderful foster home, where they named him Freddie.
Freddie spends his days indoors in that foster home, in the company of adults, older children, the family's resident cats, a multitude of other foster kittens, and three small dogs (chihuahuas). Freddie gets along great with all of them!
Thanks to that loving foster family, Freddie has come a long way in overcoming his fearfulness, and he is a real love: he will curl up with you and sleep with you --- but he still gets scared at abrupt, loud noises so we cannot recommend him for a family with small, active children.
Freddie's approximate birthdate is 3/1/10. He is healthy, neutered, microchipped, pest and virus free, and has received all the vaccinations appropriate to his age.
If you'd like to meet Freddie, please call or email The Peter Zippi Fund - we'd love to introduce you!

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
