PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BELOW. IT WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. If you still have questions after, we are happy to respond through email.
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.
TEMPEST was turned into the shelter as a stray. She was very scared and unsocial. The shelter decided to make her a barn cat and ear-tipped her. Well the kennel manager knew the she was too young and not feral. So he called us and we went running to get her.
Now TEMPEST is ready for her FUREVER home. She is not a lap cat. But we can see in her eyes she wants to be. She loves to play with any cat that will play with her. She is curious and so sweet...the cat she intended to be. She is also great with all cats. Loves to wrestle and play with them. And will come look for pets now, especially if you got treats or can food!
We know that in the proper environment with another friendly cat / kitten she will be AMAZING!!! The way to TEMPEST's heart is wet food. She will scream at you to hurry up!! TEMPEST really is becoming so much more happy and secure. Just look at her pictures!
TEMPEST is a EGYPTIAN MAU / TIGER-TABBY MIX. She is about 2 years 7 months old and is good with cats and non-reactive to dogs. She actually really loves other cats. She has never been around children.
TEMPEST is currently located at our rescue in Hemet, California.
