This is Gus Gus and his brother, Bear. Writing this honestly breaks my heart. I rescued these two from the street, and they quickly became part of my family. Gus Gus is one of the sweetest, most affectionate cats I’ve ever known. He loves everyone, is endlessly curious and cuddly, and isn’t afraid of anything, not even the vacuum cleaner. Bear is just as special, and the two of them have been through everything together. I recently found out I’m going to be a father, and with three cats already at home, I’ve had to make the incredibly difficult decision to find Gus Gus and Bear a new home. I’m not looking to just “get rid of two cats.” I love them and want to find someone who will love them just as much. I would really like to keep them together if possible. More than anything, I just want them to have a safe, happy life with someone who will cuddle them, spoil them, and treat them like family

Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old. BUTTERSCOTCH and his siblings (AMARETTI, MOCHA TRUFFLE, BISCOTTI and SNICKERDOODLE) were left in a carrier with her mama COOKIE on a lady’s doorstep in Murrieta, California. When notified, we found a foster and who took them in. Meet BUTTERSCOTCH, a young orange kitten boy from Murrieta, California, whose sunny coloring and adventurous personality make him impossible not to adore. BUTTERSCOTCH was just three weeks old when he arrived with his mama, COOKIE, and his siblings AMARETTI, SNICKERDOODLE, MOCHA TRUFFLE, and BISCOTTI after their little family was left together in a tiny carrier on a Murrieta doorstep. A kind lady brought the family to us, and BUTTERSCOTCH has been growing up in a loving foster home ever since. From those very early days, BUTTERSCOTCH has had plenty of love, care, and opportunities to grow into the curious, affectionate boy he is today. This little explorer believes every cabinet deserves a thorough inspection. Open a cupboard, and there is a good chance Butterscotch will be right there, ready to investigate what treasures might be hiding inside. His curiosity keeps life interesting, and he is always eager to discover something new. BUTTERSCOTCH is also quite the foodie. He loves the idea of tasting people food and is always interested in whatever deliciousness his humans happen to be enjoying. Of course, his enthusiasm for snacks is just one of the many things that makes this boy so charming. When his adventures are finished, BUTTERSCOTCH is more than happy to trade exploration time for cuddle time. He loves a good snuggle and enjoys being close to his people. He is the kind of kitten who wants to be part of whatever you are doing, whether you are opening a cabinet, relaxing after a busy day, or simply moving from one room to another. This adventurous little orange boy is ready to bring his curiosity, playful spirit, and affectionate personality into a loving family. With BUTTERSCOTCH around, everyday life is sure to include plenty of exploration, laughter, cuddles, and perhaps a curious little face appearing from an unexpected cabinet.

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. MAY GRANT and her 4 siblings (KAREN WILSON - JOSH RUSSO - ATHENA GRANT - EDDIE DIAZ) 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. Meet MAY GRANT, a gentle brown tabby from Watts, California, whose quiet charm is as soft as her luxurious striped coat. She carries a delicate curiosity about the world, paired with a shy nature that blossoms with patience and care. MAY GRANT’s story began in a challenging situation, as she was rescued from a hoarding environment, and now she is ready to discover the joys of a peaceful and loving home. Though she may take a little time to step out from her hiding spots, those who get to know her will find a delightful companion who thrives in calm, nurturing surroundings. MAY GRANT has a playful streak that emerges when she feels safe, often batting at toys or chasing a ribbon with the stealthy grace only a tabby can summon. Her gentle demeanor makes her especially compatible with other cats, and she seems to find comfort in feline companionship, often observing or quietly joining in their playful antics. MAY GRANT's ideal home is one where she can gradually build trust and feel secure, with caregivers who understand the power of patience and soft encouragement. Positive reinforcement and a calm environment will help her confidence grow, and she is sure to reward careful attention with moments of affection, soft purring, and gentle head nudges once she feels comfortable. She is not one for loud chaos but thrives on steady routines, quiet play, and gentle interaction, making her a perfect companion for those who appreciate a cat who comes into her own at her own pace. She is a resilient little soul with a story that inspires compassion and empathy. Every playful pounce and tentative nuzzle she offers is a glimpse of the love and joy she is ready to share with her new caregiver. MAY GRANT is waiting for a home where she can feel truly safe, loved, and understood, and where her unique personality can shine at its own sweet rhythm. Are you ready to welcome this shy but spirited tabby into your life and watch her grow into the affectionate companion she is meant to be?

One was 8 weeks old. ZELENA was saved from the streets of Murrieta, California. Our volunteer saw her posted on Nextdoor and felt so bad for her. She picked her up to find out that the ZELENA was dumped by her previous family. We got her fully vetted. Unfortunately she was pregnant at the time. We were unaware that she was at the time of the appointment. Meet ZELENA, a radiant orange tabby female from Murrieta, California, whose warm golden coat is only rivaled by the warmth of her purring heart. With a personality as bold as her beautiful coloring, ZELENA is a curious, affectionate lap cat who’s equal parts snuggly companion and sassy queen. ZELENA is the kind of cat who knows exactly what she wants—and what she wants most is your attention. She adores being petted and will reward you with a full-on purr symphony the moment your hand reaches her soft fur. Whether you’re reading a book or working on your laptop, expect ZELENA to climb into your lap, settle in like royalty, and make herself perfectly at home. While she’s full of love for people, ZELENA prefers to reign as the solo feline in your kingdom. She thrives as the center of attention and would be happiest in a home where she doesn’t have to share her space (or your lap!) with other cats. Her playful curiosity and people-oriented nature make her the ultimate one-on-one companion. ZELENA has a touch of feistiness that only adds to her charm—think of it as spice in the sweetness. She’s spirited and independent, with a dash of diva flair, and she’s not afraid to let you know when she needs some personal space. But once she’s had a little time to herself, she’s right back to being your affectionate shadow. This large-and-in-charge lady is looking for a loving home where she can stretch out, soak up affection, and finally enjoy the peace and pampering she’s been waiting for. Are you ready to meet a lap cat with personality, purrs, and a whole lot of heart? To learn more or to adopt ZELENA, please apply at: Workinwhiskers.com. ZELENA is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TABBY MIX. She is about 3 years and 10 months old and is tolerant of other cats. She has not been around young children We were told that she lived with a German Shepard whom she loved very much.
