I had some hiccups with a volunteer (demeanor, not hearing back from them, info missing from paperwork, etc). Fortunately, the owner reached out to me and offered to help with any issues I faced. The volunteer was very helpful initially and I appreciate her for that. I love my kitten and would adopt her again and again. Thank you Suzanne! read more

Suzanne with Catmandoo is something special! She puts her heart into every animal she brings into her rescue and really cares about the home they're going to. She found me my dream long-haired, male, orange tabby, and then worked hard to find me a beautiful complementary brother. She's responsive to my text messages and she's really easy to work with regarding scheduling for vaccinations and getting the kitties fixed. She is a saint, and the world could definitely use more people like her! I have recommended so many people to Catmandoo because they are doing this for all the right reasons. Her and her team of dedicated volunteers devote so much of their lives to these lucky animals. I'm so happy I found Catmandoo and will continue to refer her to other friends. read more

I really respect these women and the work they do. Suzanne and her fosters are extremely dedicated to the safety and well-being of the animals in their care and their love for them is undeniable. They are a smaller organization that spends many hours of their own time rescuing & caring for these animals and it's not easy work! We adopted our kitty Houdini (now called Alfie) a few months ago and worked with Dorothy. We are so happy that we stumbled upon them at Petsmart in Torrance on a random Sunday and found our Alfie, who is a sweet little character. Dorothy was a pleasure to work with, even helping arrange his neutering after we adopted him as he was too young to already have the procedure when we got him. read more

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Catmandoo Rescue Group for their tireless commitment to placing Meow-Meow's six lovable kittens in their forever homes. THANK YOU Catmandoo Rescue Group. In early March my husband and I helped a feral community momma cat who brought her six newborn kittens to an empty small pet house in our driveway. We ended up trapping mom and housing her kittens. For the next two months, we cared for momma "Meow-Meow" as we called her, feeding her 2-3 times a day, providing her and her kittens with protection from coyotes in our neighborhood. I think she knew our place was a safe space to bring her kitties to. For the next several weeks, the kittens grew. Each one thrived! Meow-Meow got spayed 8 weeks in. After 5 days, we released Meow-Meow only for her to return! She wouldn't leave her kitties. Meanwhile I had been reaching out to different organizations and rescue groups for help with taking the kittens for fostering and adoption. No takers. No one emailed or returned my frantic attempts. I was starting to feel hopeless. I would not take these kittens to the shelter. I wasn't getting any responses...until I met Marilyn from Catmandoo Rescue at PetSmart in Hawthorne. We spoke at length-as she was there volunteering with the rescue cats. Marilyn was very understanding and kind. When she said she'd talk with Suzanne from the rescue to verify that they could help me get the kittens adopted-it was a like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I was overjoyed. Fast-forward 11 weeks, all six kittens have been adopted and are in loving forever homes! THANK YOU to Suzanne, Marilyn and the whole selfless team at Catmandoo Rescue for the dedicated, tough, and heartfelt work you and your volunteers are doing to help save homeless animals. read more

Catmandoo Rescue is an incredible organization run by a woman with an amazing heart for animals. All the volunteers also have an abundance of love for cats and kittens that are in need of a good home. I fostered a kitten once and they helped the kitten find the perfect home. Their love for animals extend to dogs too. I've seen a few beautiful dogs at their pet adoptions. There are so many sweet cats at Catmandoo who need homes. I believe loved animals show love in return. For this reason, I highly recommend adopting your next family member from Catmandoo because you will be getting a cat who has been shown love everyday. read more

We adopted a cat at PetSmart on Crenshaw and PCH in Torrance, CA, with the presumption that he would get fixed, chipped, and a rabies shot. We were told that he would get fixed before we brought him home. Then we got a message that he was ready, but he wasn't neutered, chipped, or rabies shot done yet. They said he would have an appointment in September, 2025. In October, I started asking questions. The lady who adopted him to us said she would respond in a day or two. Two weeks later, I can't get a response after several attempts. I tried to contact Catmandoo through their website contact form. No response. So if you adopt from this company, they are not telling the truth about what you signed up for. And they will not respond to you. read more

I don't think they're in business anymore. I called regarding a lost kitten and was told they were working and weren't available.

I originally met Stephanie a few months ago, she was up-beat and so kind! I was hoping to become a part time volunteer, and she showed me the process and it was very easy. Since then, I adopted my newest baby Dionne from Catmandoo Rescue. I have seen first hand how hard Suzanne and the rest of this team works to put all kitties into happy, healthy homes. Adopt don't shop! read more

I hate leaving a negative review. I'm sure the organization is great but I had a bad experience. I adopted a kitten from Catmandoo 4 weeks ago. He came with a series of health issues. I should've used my better judgement to not adopt a kitten that hasn't been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and hasn't been seen by the rescues vet, but here I am... I took the kitten home without medical documents. Was told he didn't have any but that he was healthy! Now I'm hemorrhaging money in vet bills, and on the verge of a mental breakdown. The kitten I adopted came with fleas, ringworm, tapeworms, and coccidia. I've reached out to Suzanne for support and get very little or short responses. I should've saved my adoption money and rescued a kitten/cat off the street because that is exactly what I'm doing now except I paid someone an adoption fee. The worst part is that I have another cat at home and while I have been quarantining the kitten, I now have to test my resident cat for these things to ensure he hasn't been infected. I have been cleaning and sanitizing my home like crazy! And every time I feel we are moving forward, I get slapped with another issue and vet bill. It has been a nightmare! This isn't what I had envisioned when I considered adopting. It's my own fault too for not being careful with whom I adopted from. I guess we live and learn. read more

We adopted our precious little baby Spike from Catmandoo at the Petsmart adoption center in Hawthorne. I had seen Spike in the adoption area for over a month, and I was just smitten with him every time I'd see him. My husband and I were looking to get a new companion for our other cat Naomi as her sister passed away a few months ago, and she was getting lonely. I kept thinking about Spike and wanted to get more info on him. Turns out Spike needed a home with certain specifications and we ended up being the perfect fit for him! Suzanne and Stephanie were so kind and helpful throughout the whole process. I am also very happy that they keep in touch with me to see Spike's progress in his new home (as he is a very shy baby who needs a lot of patience and love). I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I definitely recommend Catmandoo for your next kitty adoption. read more

I adopted twice from here and I LOVE my kitties with all my heart. However...first kitten I adopted last year came with parasites. Ok, sure, easy fix when it's just one. But I adopted another kitten a month ago and not only did it come with fleas, internal parasites...but I found out it also has RINGWORM. I was wondering why it looked like it had been shedding fur around its face. I had to take my other cat to the vet because he too now has caught ringworm. I just think maybe do a health check before giving out cats to adopt. This has been a long process getting rid of ringworm is no joke read more

Thanks to Stephanie, I was able to find the friendliest most loving and energetic kitten ever, we decided to name her Scarlet! My fiancé and I were first paired with Scarlet after we decided we should get a kitten after our miscarriage, it took a lot of back and forth on how we would care for the kitten, especially with my oldest cat getting older and lonelier, he stopped playing. But the moment we were paired with Scarlet, our lives got a little more than just normal. She instantly bonded with my oldest cat the night we took her home, she is friendly, the most rambunctious little kitten ever! I would never trade this baby girl for anything in the world, she single-handedly saved my life as a woman who wants to become a mother so badly, she gave me hope. read more

Suzanne and Catmandoo rescue are AWESOME! Suzanne works diligently to make sure her animals are healthy. She runs a GREAT rescue with stellar credentials. Here's Sophie adopted from Catmandoo Rescue. Be aware that there are other animal rescues in LA who adopt animals that are not neutered, (which is against California state law), microchipped or properly vaccinated... I learned that the hard way when I adopted a kitten from another rescue & spent over $6000 in 8 months to get that kitty healthy!!! Adopt from Suzanne & Catmandoo Rescue! read more

If I can give 0 stars I without a doubt, would. This rescue was located with a van and cages next to a PetSmart in Los Angeles from January-February of 2025. I adopted a kitten of 5-6 months at the time and did not seem to demonstrate any physical health issues. We were told she was given all of the shots she needed and would need to wait a month to spay with the same rescue as it was already included in the fee. They never responded to our texts, calls, or emails at all. Unfortunately, our kitten started to become extremely ill so we took her to several ER's and hospitals. Turns out she had contracted both FIP and cryptococcus. Cryptococcus is developed by inhaling microscopic fungal cells developed in the environment. When she was diagnosed, it was too late, the point where she became immobile. I assume this rescue keeps their rescued animals in a toxic facility where they can contract deadly diseases. They do not show any care for the well-being of their rescued pets. Is it really a rescue at this point? read more

Stephanie is so amazing!! She was so helpful when I contacted her asking for help with a kitten I rescued from my car's engine. She quickly let me bring the kitten to her to exam and was so helpful with supplies and information for his care. She also introduced me to Marilynn who has also been amazing! She has helped so much with our baby Moe's check ups and vaccines. I'm so grateful for both of them!! read more

Adopting through Catmandoo was a wonderfully quick and painless experience! Stephanie was so helpful and communicative throughout the process and still makes an effort to keep up with my new daughter Onyx Rose days later. Their process is very detailed in the sense that they want to ensure their adoptees find a good home for them, without making you feel harassed, and they ensure all adoptees are fully vaxxed and fixed before pick up. The person who adopted my kittens sister even requested a nail trimming and they handled it right then and there with no problems. If I wasn't already 3 cats by now, I would definitely use their services again, and would recommend them to any cat lovers looking for their newest best friend. read more
