My story

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BELOW BEFORE YOU RESPOND.





It is a long read and a long adoption process. Please understand we are ensuring that our babies go to great homes and we don't know you personally (yet). Understand that this is an adoption of a beautiful little soul that deserves the absolute best life.





LIZ ORTECHO (named after the series ROSWELL: NEW MEXICO) and her 4 siblings were living in really bad area of Lawndale, California. The independent rescuer was asked to help get the local strays fixed and save the kittens. We were more than happy to help! These poor little guys were so malnourished, sick and scared.





So LIZ ORTECHO has known the street life for a very short time. She has now been living a nice pampered life. As you can see in the pictures, she is loved and spoiled.





LIZ ORTECHO is chunky now. She loves to be cuddled and petted. When you pick her up, she will start her little motor and purr very loud. Loves to cuddle with her siblings. Less adventurous and mischievous than her siblings. She does love to play!!





LIZ ORTECHO is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TUXEDO MIX. She is about 11 months old and is good with cats and non- reactive to dogs. She has never been around young children. She will need a super friendly cat buddy at home to teach her how to be less timid. She will be ok by herself...but you might need to be patient.





LIZ ORTECHO is currently at PETSMART in Palm Desert, California of Monterey Avenue.

************************ NO OUT OF STATE ADOPTIONS ***********************





MARCH 2023: VOLUNTEERS are the only ones allowed to let you meet the kitty. Not PETSMART employees.





Volunteers are usually at Petsmart between 9 - 10 am to 12 pm - 1 pm. The cats currently at PETSMART you are allowed to go visit. A good time to come visit is at 5 pm - 8 pm. You can call the Petsmart location and find out what time an evening volunteer will be there. There is a sheet on the cattery door with VISITING HOURS.





The kitties at a foster/rescue homes, we will accommodate as much as possible. But steps 1-6 of the ADOPTION PROCESS need to be done before we do OFFICIAL MEET & GREETS. It is easier to do the meet and greets at the locations listed below.





PETSMART

in Murrieta, California off Madison Avenue



in Hemet, California off Florida Avenue



in Palm Desert, California off Monterey Avenue





The crazy rescue mama will drive kitties to their new home, meet & greets, etc...once the adoption interview and home check have been done.. Gas donations always appreciated!





********** PLEASE NO CALLS. NO ONE IS AVAILABLE TO TAKE CALLS **********





If the CAT/KITTEN is still listed (meaning here or other websites) they are still available. It does not mean they don't have other pending applications or meet and greets.





Please note: Just because you fill out an application and are approved does not obligate you to adopt the cat/kitten. If he or she is not a fit...we have plenty of other cats / kittens available for adoption.





We are a SMALL rescue based out of Hemet, California. We are all volunteers that run the rescue. If we haven't reached out....be patient.





LIZ ORTECHO is ALREADY fully vetted.

The adoption fee of $200 covers:





Spay

FVRCP shots

RABIES shot

FELV/FIV test (Negative/Negative)

Drontal Dewormer

Stronghold Flea Control

Microchip





We are NOT a government FUNDED shelter and all our donations and adoption fees are for our rescued cats/kittens. So, we do not do DISCOUNTS.





If for some unfortunate reason you missed out on the kitten/cat you emailed about...I'm sure that we could help you with another rescue baby! Just ask!





If you have any questions not covered here, please feel free to email us:
