Meet “Gimili”

Meet Gimili 🤍
Hi, I’m Gimili—a four-year-old neutered male with a soft heart and an even softer belly. Seriously, I love belly rubs. Every time my foster mom walks by, I flop over dramatically like a beached whale and beg for tummy scratches. She says I’m ridiculously cute. She’s right. 😽

I was adopted as a kitten with my buddy Pickle by a military couple. Life was good—we thought we’d hit the jackpot. But recently, our world turned upside down when our family got military orders and had to move. They didn’t leave enough time to find us a new home, but thankfully, Joanne’s Furry Friends came to our rescue at the last minute.

Despite all the chaos with movers and change, I’ve adjusted well to my foster home. My foster mom is also in the military, but she chooses to foster instead of adopt since she knows she’ll have to move again someday—and we’re so thankful for her. I do miss my original family and thought it was my forever home, but I’m ready to find a new one where I can roll over and show my belly with full confidence.

We have complete medical records for both me and Pickle. We’re not littermates, but we were adopted together and have grown up side by side. It would be amazing if we could be adopted together again—but if splitting us up helps save other cats at risk, we’ll manage (though I will give you some dramatic glances about it).

Also, let’s just be real for a second. We’re chonks. Please don’t say it to our faces, but yeah, we’ve got a little extra fluff. We’re on a diet now, but if you love big boys with even bigger personalities—hello, we’re right here.

📍 Located in San Diego, California – but we’re happy to deliver adult cats throughout Southern California to the right INDOOR-ONLY homes. If you’re local, we can set up a meet-and-greet. If you’re farther away, we can arrange delivery for a trial adoption.

Some rescues have a no-military-adopters policy. We work hard not to discriminate and to support our service members whenever possible. Could you be the one to give Gimili (and maybe Pickle too?) the loving, stable forever home we’re dreaming of?
