Story
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! A lady on Next Door reached out to our rescue partner and asked if she could help a kitten. She was found in a bush alone in Torrance, Ca. SHELL was feisty and so small. Meet SHELL, a reserved three-year-old Diluted Calico Maine Coon from Torrance, California whose soft, pastel-toned fur reflects her gentle and quiet nature. With her long, fluffy coat that blends soft grays, creams, and whites, SHELL is a picture of elegance and grace. She may be shy at first, often preferring to observe her surroundings from a cozy, tucked-away spot, but with a little patience, she begins to open up in her own delicate way. SHELL has a refined personality and will allow pets—but only on her terms. She enjoys gentle head scratches and soft strokes when she's feeling comfortable, making her a true cat who values her independence. She’s skittish with sudden movements or new situations, but given time, her cautious curiosity will win out, and she’ll be quietly near, soaking up the calm energy of her environment. SHELL gets along well with other cats, blending into a multi-cat household without causing any fuss. Her mellow nature makes her unreactive to dogs, so she could live peacefully alongside a calm canine companion as long as they respect her space. While she’s never been around children, SHELL might do well in a quiet home where she can settle in at her own pace without too much hustle and bustle. Her Maine Coon heritage gives her a majestic look with a luxuriously thick coat and a large, regal presence. However, unlike the stereotypical social Maine Coon, SHELL leans into her more reserved, introverted side, making her the perfect match for a patient and understanding caregiver who will give her the time she needs to feel safe and secure. Are you ready to provide a calm, loving home where this beautiful girl can thrive at her own pace? If you’re looking for a quiet, independent companion who will blossom with time, SHELL may just be the perfect addition to your family. SHELL is a DILUTED CALICO / MAINE COON MIX. She is about 4 years and 4 months old and is good with cats. In her foster home, she was around other kittens and older cats. She will probably do best with a very friendly, loving and non aggressive cat or 2. She has never been around children. We are not sure how she will do with dogs, but she is non-reactive. SHELL is currently located at our rescue in Hemet, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. Go to Workinwhiskers.com (Click on ADOPT) 2. Fill Out Online Form 3. Submit Online Application 4.

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. ERIN YEAGER and his 2 siblings (ARMIN ARLERT and LEVI ACKERMAN) had a rough life. They were brought into the shelter as tiny kittens. We rescued them and sent them to a foster. But she kept them for a long time and returned them unsocialized. They deserved a chance to be adopted. And this boy has come a long way. Meet ERIN YEAGER, the gentle giant with a heart as big as his fluffy Maine Coon exterior. True to his breed's "gentle giant" nature, ERIN YEAGER is a stunning boy who simply needs a patient, quiet home where she can take her time getting to know you. Though he can be a bit skittish and reserved at first, ERIN YEAGER's sweet, affectionate side shines through with a little time and understanding. His journey to trust is one that is incredibly rewarding. As he settles in, he'll slowly emerge from his shell, blossoming into a loving companion who adores gentle head scratches and soft pets. ERIN YEAGER's favorite quiet time activity is to sit on his person's feet, a subtle way of showing his affection and feeling close to you. He also lives for treats and sees them as the ultimate sign of friendship. If you are someone who enjoys quiet companionship and finds joy in small victories, watching ERIN YEAGER's confidence grow will be a truly magical experience. In a home with other feline friends, ERIN YEAGER truly thrives. He has a wonderful, friendly disposition with other cats and would love a confident cat companion to show him the ropes and help his feel more at ease. This big, beautiful boy is looking for a patient human who will give him the space he needs to feel safe, while cherishing the quiet moments of connection he offers in return.

BELLE is a beautiful Dilute Calico Maine Coon who’s ready to find her forever home. This gentle and shy girl has come a long way after surviving a difficult life in a hoarding situation. She’s now learning to trust, embrace love, and enjoy the comfort of a safe, loving environment. Despite her rough start, BELLE has shown incredible resilience and a heart full of potential. At first, BELLE may seem a bit shy, especially in new situations or around unfamiliar people. But don’t let that fool you—once she feels safe, she’ll show you her playful, affectionate side. BELLE absolutely loves wet food (a true foodie at heart!) and will happily engage in play sessions, especially with her beloved siblings. She’s got a playful spirit and will delight in chasing toys, pouncing, and just having fun with her fellow kittens. BELLE is a calm, thoughtful girl who enjoys her time exploring at her own pace. Her Maine Coon personality shines through in her curiosity and intelligence, and while she may need a little time to adjust to a new home, she will repay your patience with love and affection. BELLE gets along beautifully with her siblings, and it’s clear she thrives in the company of other cats. A home with other friendly, confident cats might be ideal for her as she continues to build her trust and confidence. She’s an independent soul, but when she’s comfortable, BELLE loves to curl up in a quiet spot and take a nap, or sit to soak in some attention. Her soft, luxurious fur and calm demeanor will make her the perfect companion for someone who understands her need for a gentle approach and a little extra time to settle in. If you’re looking for a cat who’s sweet, a little shy, and full of potential, BELLE might be the perfect fit for you.

Story
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! A lady on Next Door reached out to our rescue partner and asked if she could help a kitten. She was found in a bush alone in Torrance, Ca. SHELL was feisty and so small. Meet SHELL, a reserved three-year-old Diluted Calico Maine Coon from Torrance, California whose soft, pastel-toned fur reflects her gentle and quiet nature. With her long, fluffy coat that blends soft grays, creams, and whites, SHELL is a picture of elegance and grace. She may be shy at first, often preferring to observe her surroundings from a cozy, tucked-away spot, but with a little patience, she begins to open up in her own delicate way. SHELL has a refined personality and will allow pets—but only on her terms. She enjoys gentle head scratches and soft strokes when she's feeling comfortable, making her a true cat who values her independence. She’s skittish with sudden movements or new situations, but given time, her cautious curiosity will win out, and she’ll be quietly near, soaking up the calm energy of her environment. SHELL gets along well with other cats, blending into a multi-cat household without causing any fuss. Her mellow nature makes her unreactive to dogs, so she could live peacefully alongside a calm canine companion as long as they respect her space. While she’s never been around children, SHELL might do well in a quiet home where she can settle in at her own pace without too much hustle and bustle. Her Maine Coon heritage gives her a majestic look with a luxuriously thick coat and a large, regal presence. However, unlike the stereotypical social Maine Coon, SHELL leans into her more reserved, introverted side, making her the perfect match for a patient and understanding caregiver who will give her the time she needs to feel safe and secure. Are you ready to provide a calm, loving home where this beautiful girl can thrive at her own pace? If you’re looking for a quiet, independent companion who will blossom with time, SHELL may just be the perfect addition to your family. SHELL is a DILUTED CALICO / MAINE COON MIX. She is about 4 years and 4 months old and is good with cats. In her foster home, she was around other kittens and older cats. She will probably do best with a very friendly, loving and non aggressive cat or 2. She has never been around children. We are not sure how she will do with dogs, but she is non-reactive. SHELL is currently located at our rescue in Hemet, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. Go to Workinwhiskers.com (Click on ADOPT) 2. Fill Out Online Form 3. Submit Online Application 4.

But she kept them for a long time and returned them unsocialized. They deserved a chance to be adopted. And this boy has come a long way. Meet ERIN YEAGER, the gentle giant with a heart as big as his fluffy Maine Coon exterior. True to his breed's "gentle giant" nature, ERIN YEAGER is a stunning boy who simply needs a patient, quiet home where she can take her time getting to know you.

His journey to trust is one that is incredibly rewarding. As he settles in, he'll slowly emerge from his shell, blossoming into a loving companion who adores gentle head scratches and soft pets. ERIN YEAGER's favorite quiet time activity is to sit on his person's feet, a subtle way of showing his affection and feeling close to you. He also lives for treats and sees them as the ultimate sign of friendship. If you are someone who enjoys quiet companionship and finds joy in small victories, watching ERIN YEAGER's confidence grow will be a truly magical experience. In a home with other feline friends, ERIN YEAGER truly thrives. He has a wonderful, friendly disposition with other cats and would love a confident cat companion to show him the ropes and help his feel more at ease.

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. BELLE and several feline family members were saved from a horrific hoarding case in Riverside, California. We know they are all related because the horrible human woman, kept letting them mate. When the Rescue Mama found out she took action. As of DECEMBER 2025, 91 cats have either gone to other rescues or have been saved by us. You will know who these cats are by their names. They have all been named after the show "Once Upon A Time". Aside from the necklaces the kitties wear in their professional pictures, Rescue Mama names her rescue cats after shows she watches. BELLE is a beautiful Dilute Calico Maine Coon who’s ready to find her forever home. This gentle and shy girl has come a long way after surviving a difficult life in a hoarding situation. She’s now learning to trust, embrace love, and enjoy the comfort of a safe, loving environment. Despite her rough start, BELLE has shown incredible resilience and a heart full of potential. At first, BELLE may seem a bit shy, especially in new situations or around unfamiliar people. But don’t let that fool you—once she feels safe, she’ll show you her playful, affectionate side. BELLE absolutely loves wet food (a true foodie at heart!) and will happily engage in play sessions, especially with her beloved siblings. She’s got a playful spirit and will delight in chasing toys, pouncing, and just having fun with her fellow kittens. BELLE is a calm, thoughtful girl who enjoys her time exploring at her own pace. Her Maine Coon personality shines through in her curiosity and intelligence, and while she may need a little time to adjust to a new home, she will repay your patience with love and affection. BELLE gets along beautifully with her siblings, and it’s clear she thrives in the company of other cats. A home with other friendly, confident cats might be ideal for her as she continues to build her trust and confidence. She’s an independent soul, but when she’s comfortable, BELLE loves to curl up in a quiet spot and take a nap, or sit to soak in some attention. Her soft, luxurious fur and calm demeanor will make her the perfect companion for someone who understands her need for a gentle approach and a little extra time to settle in. If you’re looking for a cat who’s sweet, a little shy, and full of potential, BELLE might be the perfect fit for you. With love, patience, and a gentle hand, BELLE will flourish and become the loving companion you've been looking for. BELLE would thrive in a quiet, patient home where she can continue to build her confidence and feel secure. If you’re looking for a beautiful Maine Coon with a heart of gold, Belle is waiting to meet you! Could your heart and home be the next soft landing for this dignified girl ?

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! HENRIETTA "HEN" WILSON and her 2 siblings (ROBERT "BOBBY" NASH - HOWIE "CHIMMENY" HAN) were saved from a hoarding case in Watts, California. They were all barley surviving. We named all the cats that were saved from that place after the characters in the show 911. HENRIETTA "HEN" WILSON is a sweet and serene Mackerel Tabby cat who has captured the hearts of everyone she meets. Her journey began in an unlikely place—a drug rehab facility in Watts, California—where she and her siblings were found as tiny, sickly kittens. Despite the odds stacked against them, HENRIETTA "HEN" WILSON and her siblings were nursed back to health, and HENRIETTA "HEN" WILSON quickly proved herself to be a survivor, emerging from her difficult beginnings with a calm and loving demeanor that would define her for the rest of her life. HENRIETTA "HEN" WILSON, is the picture of chill. She’s the kind of cat who prefers lounging on your lap for hours, gently purring away as she soaks up all the pets and attention. While she does enjoy playtime on occasion, her true passion is simply being near her human companions. Whether it’s curling up next to you on the couch, stretching out in a sunbeam, or peacefully coexisting with her feline siblings, HEN is a laid-back spirit who just wants to be part of the family. Her easygoing nature extends to her relationships with other cats as well—HENRIETTA "HEN" WILSON gets along with every feline she meets, proving that her friendly disposition is as limitless as her love. She’s not one to claim a single spot, but she does have a preference for lap time, effortlessly finding her place as a comforting presence in any room. HENRIETTA "HEN" WILSON's story is one of resilience and healing, and her gentle soul is a reminder of the power of kindness and care. Though she’s come a long way from her rough beginnings, she’s never forgotten how much love can change a life. Now, she spends her days in quiet joy, a constant reminder of the unconditional love that a rescue pet can give. HENRIETTA "HEN" WILSON’s journey from a sick kitten in a rehab center to the sweet lap cat she is today is a testament to the strength of the human-animal bond and the healing power of patience, care, and a warm lap.

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! STEWART was saved by an independent rescuer. The lady was killed by a drunk driver. We were asked to help with her rescues and to our dismay, her house was a horrific hoarding case. There was so many dead cats and feces everywhere. We pulled 55 cats that were still alive. Our rescue took 26 of those cats into out rescue. STEWART was one of the lucky ones to get out alive. Meet STEWART (or as his friends call him, Stewy), a gentle 5 year old tabby with a heart as soft as his plush, striped fur. This shy yet sweet boy hails from Lucerne Valley, CA, and has experienced quite the journey to becoming the loving companion he is today. While STEWART might be reserved at first, he has blossomed into a calm and affectionate cat who now craves gentle pets and quiet moments of connection with his caregivers. His favorite place to be is curled up in a cozy corner of his catio, where he can soak up the sun’s warm rays while lounging in his beloved cat tower. STEWART’s world revolves around the simple pleasures in life—especially his favorite treat, a Churu. He’ll happily let you pet him while indulging in this tasty reward, making snack time a special bonding experience. His transformation into a more confident and social cat is truly inspiring, especially considering his humble beginnings. While STEWART is still a bit shy, he draws immense confidence from the company of other cats. He thrives in the presence of feline friends, finding joy and reassurance in their companionship, and would love to share his new home with another gentle cat or two. He really shines when surrounded by other cats who are soaking up love and attention, making him the perfect addition to a multi-cat household. STEWART’s tender heart and quiet courage are just waiting to bring peace and warmth into the lives of his future family. He’ll need a patient and loving environment where he can continue to blossom at his own pace, but the reward will be a sweet, loyal companion who’s ready to fill your days with contented purrs and sun-soaked afternoons. Could your home be the peaceful sanctuary STEWART has been waiting for? He’s ready to meet his new loving family! STEWART is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TABBY MIX. he is about 5 years and 6 months old and is GREAT with other cats. He has been around young children He has lived with dogs but have o idea what his interaction with them was.. STEWART is currently at a foster home in Beaumont. California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1.
