(CLAIR | Simi Valley, CA) — At the Simi Valley Animal Shelter, two special souls are ready to bring warmth, companionship, and quiet joy to the right family.
Meet Taz (Animal ID: A863691), a 7-year-old male cat with a quiet gaze and a heart that’s still full of hope. He’s a Domestic Shorthair with sleek fur, soft paws, and the calm, steady presence of a cat who’s seen a bit of life and still believes in kindness. Taz arrived at the shelter on April 15 and became adoptable that very same day. He’s been neutered, vaccinated, and is all set to step into his next chapter. Whether you live in a peaceful apartment or a cozy house, Taz will fit right in—he’s the kind of companion who’s just as happy lounging in a sunbeam as he is sitting beside you while you read or work.
Not far from him, in kennel 950, is a 4-year-old spayed female Domestic Shorthair (Animal ID: A863683) who seems to be carrying the weight of the shelter walls in her expression. Her eyes are quiet and soulful, hinting at a longing for comfort, safety, and someone to notice her. She, too, was brought in on April 15 and will be ready for adoption beginning Saturday, April 19.
Both cats were found in Simi Valley and brought to the shelter in search of a second chance. What they need now is a quiet space, a warm lap, and someone who sees them not just as pets—but as family.
Cats like Taz and his feline friend are more than animals—they are steady presences in a sometimes-unsteady world. They wait in silence, but their hearts speak volumes. They don’t ask for much, only for a soft place to land and a human to trust. And somewhere out there, perhaps someone is reading this and feeling a tug they can’t quite explain. Maybe their home has been missing something gentle. Maybe it’s time. Maybe it’s them.
If you think that someone might be you, Taz and his friend will be waiting—quietly, hopefully—at the Simi Valley Animal Shelter, located at 670 W. Los Angeles Avenue. You can call (805) 388-4341 for more information, or better yet, stop by. Two tender hearts are ready to come home.
