My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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.


NIKO HAMADA and 10 other cats were saved from the shelter. You see NIKO HAMADA is a bit feisty and naughty! She is only sweet and loving on her terms. She loves to play with other cats. She loves to play by herself too. She is a bit of a wild child. She will need a home with a family that loves her just the way she is.


NIKO HAMADA is an actual Abyssinian. Abyssinians are quite active, social and vocal. They bond closely with their owners and want to be involved in everything that their people do. They are very adaptable to new situations and environments. Abys are intelligent and easy to train; they also are quite good at training their owners to wait on them hand and foot. Abyssinians are not simply ornamental lap cats, although they enjoy a good snuggle and are highly affectionate to their family members. This is a sturdy, smart, witty, fun and funny breed that can be demanding of attention and respect.


NIKO HAMADA is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / ABYSSINIAN. He is about 17 months old and is good with cats. In his foster home, she was around other kittens and older cats. She has never been around dogs or children that we are aware of. She will probably do better with teenagers and with a cat that can handle a rough playmate.


NIKO HAMADA is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California.

********* MAY CONSIDER OUT OF STATE ADOPTIONS NEAR CALIFORNIA **********


FEBRUARY 2024: VOLUNTEERS are the only ones allowed to let you meet the kitty. Not PETSMART employees.


Volunteers are usually at PetSmart between 9 am to 1 pm for cleaning. The cats currently at PETSMART you are allowed to go visit. A good time to come visit is between 4 pm - 9 pm. The VOLUNTEERS are only there in the evening for 3 hours so please email us or visit the cattery for VISITING HOURS. Most days are different 3 hour shifts. It's based on volunteer availability.


>>>>>>>>>>>> If you call the PETSMART location, please ask them to physically check the cattery door for the current week's 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

or any PETSMART near you!


The crazy rescue mama will drive kitties to their new home, meet & greets, etc...once the phone 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.


NIKO HAMADA is ALREADY fully vetted.
The adoption fee of $250 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!
