OCTOBER 2025 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. The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. So don't let that discourage you from adopting an adult cat! VICTORIA and her 4 kittens (GROGU - EWOK - MUCHI-JAWA) were part of a huge TNR effort in Los Angeles County. The group TNRed all the adult cats and rescued moms with kittens. They went to a foster. Then we were asked to help get them good homes. Now Ms. VICTORIA is ready for her FUREVER home! Meet VICTORIA, a very sweet and vocal tortoiseshell cat with a personality as colorful as her coat. This chatty girl will make sure you know exactly what she's thinking with her various meows and trills. Don't be fooled by her soft and sugary disposition, though—VICTORIA can be a little feisty and sassy, especially when she's trying to get her point across. She absolutely thrives on human interaction and loves nothing more than getting a good chin scratch or a long pet session. While she adores attention, she can be a bit shy when meeting new people, so a quiet and patient introduction is best. When it comes to other cats, VICTORIA is a "queen bee" at heart. She's okay with other felines, but she definitely prefers to be the ruler of her castle. She needs a patient and easygoing cat companion who will respect her boundaries. There’s no violence in this feisty girl—she’s all talk and sass, not a bully. Despite her regal attitude, she’s still very much a playful cat who loves chasing toys and pouncing on imaginary creatures. Her playful energy and loving nature make her an incredibly special and entertaining companion. If you're looking for a vocal, loving, and sassy feline to rule your heart and your home, VICTORIA is the cat for you. Adopt VICTORIA, and let her fill your life with love, laughter, and companionship. VICTORIA is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TORTISHELL MIX. She is 5 years 4 months old. She is OK with cats and non-reactive to dogs. She will be happiest with one other cat or by herself. She has never been around children.

Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. So don't let that discourage you from adopting an adult cat! Rescue mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old. EUROPA and her kittens (ATALANA - CIRCE - DESPONIA - ZEPHYR) were saved in San Jacinto, California. The wonderful couple saved them from the very cruel neighbors. So they called us. They are currently fostering them. And we are so glad they did. Meet DESPONIA, a delightful Tuxedo cat from San Jacinto, California, whose independent spirit and adorable quirks make her a true character. With her striking black-and-white coat and those big, golden eyes, she’s a master at capturing attention and making you feel like you need to give her some love (though she’s not shy about letting you know when she’s had enough)! DESPONIA is definitely the "do her own thing" type. She’s content to sit by your feet, gazing up with those wide eyes, silently asking for affection. But once you've showered her with pets, she’ll give a gentle paw or turn away when she’s had enough—she’s got her boundaries, and she knows how to communicate them! One of her favorite things? Snack-filled treats! DESPONIA will happily indulge in anything with a filling, and her playful zoomies are a sight to behold. She’s quick to dash around, especially when her sisters are winding down for the evening—her burst of energy will keep you smiling as she races through the room, full of joy and excitement. DESPONIA is a confident and loving companion, always ready for a cozy nap once her energy has been spent. She’s compatible with other cats, having grown up in a multi-cat environment, and would love to join a family that appreciates her independent yet loving nature. A bit of patience will go a long way with this little one, as she enjoys having her space but is equally affectionate when the time feels right. Could you offer this spunky tuxedo girl the loving home she needs to continue exploring the world on her own terms? DESPONIA is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TUXEDO MIX. She is about 1 year 9 months old. She has lived with cats. She used to play with a Aussie Shepard dog. She has never been around children.

APRIL 2026 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. The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. So don't let that discourage you from adopting an adult cat! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old. NICOLE HAUGHT and 12 other relatives of hers we're all dumped at a church in Whittier, California. These poor babies were left in the sun in a total of two carriers in front of a church. Needless to say, the rescue mama set course that day to pick them up. It took us 2 days to get them all to the rescue and to foster care. So NICOLE HAUGHT (named after the show: WYNONNA EARP) we believe was kept very well by whomever abandoned them. With all the tragedy that has happened to this girl and her family, she deserves to have a wonderful home. She is now been living a nice pampered life. Let her tell you all about herself. Meet NICOLE HAUGHT, a delicate Tuxedo cat from Whittier, California, whose elegance is painted in striking black and white and whose gentle spirit is waiting to bloom in a place filled with kindness. NICOLE HAUGHT carries both the charm of youth and the tenderness of a cat who is still learning that the world can be safe and warm. Her coat looks like a perfectly tailored outfit, with a classic tuxedo pattern that makes her appear ready for the fanciest of occasions, though what she truly craves is not a gala, but a loving home where she can relax and shine. NICOLE HAUGHT is a little shy at first, the kind of cat who prefers to quietly observe her surroundings before stepping forward with trust. Once she feels secure, however, her playful side comes alive. She has a special fondness for batting around toys, chasing after wand teasers, and—most adorably—indulging in the creamy delight of Churru treats. This is the quickest way to her heart, and with each lick, her trust in her caregiver grows stronger. One of NICOLE HAUGHT’s sweetest qualities is her ability to get along with friendly cats. She seems to find comfort in feline companionship, as if having a buddy nearby gives her courage. Because of this, she may thrive in a home where another gentle, playful cat can help her continue building confidence. She hasn’t been around dogs or young children, so a calm and patient environment would suit her best, especially one where her new family understands that she may need time, gentle encouragement, and plenty of love to fully blossom. NICOLE HAUGHT needs a guardian who will not only offer her safety, but also celebrate her quirks—the way her white whiskers twitch when she’s curious, how her paws dance when she’s chasing after a toy, and her quiet but powerful way of showing affection when she’s finally comfortable. She has already proven that, with patience and kindness, she will reward her caregivers with endless charm, playfulness, and companionship. NICOLE HAUGHT is ready to begin her new chapter. Could you be the one to show her how wonderful life can be in a caring environment filled with love? To learn more about adopting NICOLE HAUGHT, please find her on our website: WorkinWhiskers.com NICOLE HAUGHT is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TUXEDO MIX. She is about 3 years and 4 months old. She is good with cats. She has never been around young children or dogs. NICOLE HAUGHT is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1.

But we can do meet and greets at all 5 locations listed below.**** PETSMART - 17651 Colima Rd, City Of Industry, California 91748 PETSMART - 2153 W Florida Ave, Hemet, California 92545 PETSMART - 25290 Madison Ave, Murrieta, California 92562 PETSMART - 34900 Monterey Ave, Palm Desert, California 92211 PETSMART - 2851 Eastland Center Dr, West Covina, CA 91791 The crazy rescue mama will drive kitties to their new home, meet and greets, etc...once the phone interview and home check have been done. Gas donations always appreciated! ************* Please no calls to the rescue. 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. NICOLE HAUGHT 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: Workinwhiskers2020@hotmail.com
