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.
SAWYER and his siblings (SKY & STUART) was saved by an independent rescuer. They came from a mom at a colony in the area South Los Angeles, California. Once the kittens were stable, the rescuer reached out to us. And now they are with our rescue.
Meet SAWYER, a shy but endearing Russian Blue from Los Angeles, California, whose heart is just waiting to bloom with the right touch of patience. Wrapped in a sleek, silvery-blue coat, SAWYER's appearance is as elegant as his breed’s reputation for being gentle and affectionate. Though he may start off skittish, once he feels safe and comfortable, you’ll quickly see the playful side of him emerge—especially if there are toys involved!
This little guy has a deep love for playtime, and you’ll often find him happily chasing after a feather wand or pawing at a string with surprising energy. While his cautious nature may make him seem reserved at first, don't be fooled—Sawyer is full of curious spirit. He just takes his time getting comfortable with new faces and environments. Once he knows he’s in a loving and safe space, he’s sure to show off more of his playful, quirky personality.
SAWYER is also a big fan of feline company, getting along well with other cats. He would thrive in a home where he can share the space with another calm, friendly cat companion who understands his need for gentle interactions. His love for other cats makes him a wonderful addition to a multi-cat household. And when it comes to meals, wet food is his absolute favorite—he’s not shy about letting you know it’s dinner time with a few soft meows.
SAWYER is seeking a family who understands his shy nature and is willing to give him the time and patience he needs to truly settle in. With a calm, nurturing environment and a bit of understanding, SAWYER will reward his new family with quiet companionship, playful moments, and a loving bond that grows stronger every day.
Are you ready to open your heart to SAWYER and watch him blossom into the confident, playful companion you’ve been looking for? Fill out the application today!
SAWYER is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / RUSSIAN BLUE MIX. He is about 2 year and 10 months old. He is good with cats. He has never been around children or dogs.
SAWYER is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California.

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.
SAWYER is ALREADY fully vetted.

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!
