Pet of the Week: Stop and Smell Rose
By Staff Writer
Published on Fri, Sep 11, 2026
Meet Rose, a petite little flower who’s ready to bloom in a loving forever home! Long Beach Animal Care Services is hoping this sweet 1-year-old girl will soon find the family she’s been waiting for.
At just 7.5 pounds, Rose (A761813) may be petite, but she has plenty of personality.
With big, expressive green eyes, oversized ears and the sweetest face, she’s pretty hard to resist. And while we can’t promise she always smells like a rose, she certainly looks like one you’ll want to pick and take home.
Rose came to the shelter as a stray, and now she’s hoping for something simple: a safe, cozy home where she can relax, play and become someone’s special companion. She’s young, beautiful and ready to leave her stray days behind.
Roses are red, and this just might be the sweetest kitty you’ve ever seen. Come meet her and see if you’re the purr-fect match!
