About Murphy

Murphy is the friendliest, sweetest cat you'll ever meet. He gets along well with cats, dogs, and just about anyone else he encounters. His warm personality makes him a great addition to any home. Before adoption, Murphy will be spayed, vaccinated with the 3-in-1 shot, de-wormed, treated for fleas, tested for FIV/FELV, and micro-chipped. Although his adoption fee is typically $175 individually, pairing up two cats costs $300. You'll also receive some helpful coupons from Petsmart to kickstart your journey with Murphy. Meet and greets occur at our Long Beach Petsmart adoption centers, but these are by appointment only due to social distancing protocols. Remember that you must complete the adoption application before scheduling any appointments. The Cat Cove is a non-profit, no-kill rescue operated entirely by volunteers. Every donation directly supports the cats' medical needs, food, and supplies, ensuring each cat gets the care they deserve. Ready to make a new friend? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
