SEPTEMBER 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. VIOLET VAN HELSING, her moms (SCARETT and VANESSA VAN HELSING) and her siblings (AXEL MILLER and JACK & DYLAN VAN HELSING) were saved by the Rescue Mama. So one day while on Facebook, Rescue Mama saw that there were 2 very young cats living in a back yard. Long story short, we rescued the girls and right before their vet appointment they had kittens. We are not sure which kittens belong to which mom because they were born in the middle of the night and both sisters nursed them. So now the babies are fully vetted and ready for their FUREVER homes. Meet VIOLET VAN HELSING! If you're looking for a lap cat, a cuddle buddy, and a best friend all in one, look no further than VIOLET VAN HELSING. This gentle and sensitive girl is the most snuggly of her group, and she's ready to lavish her endless affection on a devoted human. All she wants is to be as close to you as possible, whether she's nuzzled against your neck at night or stretched out beside you in bed with her soft belly exposed for rubs. Her capacity for love is immense, and she connects quickly and deeply with people. VIOLET VAN HELSING's love language is physical affection. You'll hear her signature, rumbling purr the moment your eyes meet, and she'll rub all over you with loving headbutts and gentle pawing to ask for more pets. When she's overcome with joy, she might even greet you by climbing your jeans to get into your arms for a happy hug. This little shadow will follow you everywhere, always keeping a watchful eye on you from wherever she is in the room. She even has a special, charming habit of perching on your shoulder or back while you're busy with chores like scooping the litter box. Despite her affectionate nature, VIOLET VAN HELSING is a gentle soul who is a little wary of new noises and animals. She gets intimidated by strong or dominant cat personalities, so she would do best in a calm home environment where she can be the center of her human's attention. She may need a bit of time to relax and feel safe in a new space, but once she does, her loving and playful personality will shine through. VIOLET VAN HELSING enjoys a good play session, whether she's chasing after crinkle balls or tackling a wand toy. VIOLET VAN HELSING isn't just looking for a home; she's looking for her human. She's a sweet, gentle spirit who will reward your patience with unwavering loyalty and an abundance of hugs and cuddles. Her love is a gift, and for the right person, it's a gift that will keep on giving. VIOLET VAN HELSING is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / MACKEREL TABBY MIX. She is about 5 months old. She is good with cats, children and dogs. JACK VAN HELSING is currently at a foster home in North Hollywood, California. ******We do not do adoptions of any kitten under 8 months, if there is no other cat in the home. It must be a young cat.

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.

NOVEMBER 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! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old. PRINCE CHARMING 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 OCTOBER 2025, 86 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 i in their professional pictures, Rescue Mama names her rescue cats after shows she watches. PRINCE CHARMING is the definition of a survivor with a heart of gold. Arriving from a difficult hoarding case in Riverside, California he faced overwhelming challenges. But despite a rough start in life, this sweet orange tabby holds absolutely no grudges. His spirit is as bright as his ginger fur, and he is ready to write the next, much happier chapter of his life with a loving family. PRINCE CHARMING has quickly learned that a soft human touch and a full food bowl are two of life's greatest pleasures. He absolutely adores his wet food and isn't shy about asking for it—his charmingly persistent "talks" will let you know exactly when he's ready for dinner. These conversations are just one of his many endearing qualities. PRINCE CHARMING is a playful cat who loves to chase toys and bat around anything that crinkles. Watching him play brings pure joy, and his happy spirit is contagious. Sometimes, when he’s deep in thought, you might notice a little worried look on his face, a tiny echo of his past. But a gentle scratch behind the ears or a quiet word is all it takes to remind him that he is safe and loved. He has shown incredible resilience and an ability to trust, proving that true happiness can be found after hardship. If you're looking for a cat who will appreciate every ounce of kindness you give him, PRINCE CHARMING is waiting for his happy ending. PRINCE CHARMING is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TABBY MIX. He is about 1 year and 4 months old. PRINCE CHARMING is good with cats. He has never been around children but has lived with dogs. Not sure if he actually met the dog but there was a dog in the home.

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.

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.

SEPTEMBER 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. VIOLET VAN HELSING, her moms (SCARETT and VANESSA VAN HELSING) and her siblings (AXEL MILLER and JACK & DYLAN VAN HELSING) were saved by the Rescue Mama. So one day while on Facebook, Rescue Mama saw that there were 2 very young cats living in a back yard. Long story short, we rescued the girls and right before their vet appointment they had kittens. We are not sure which kittens belong to which mom because they were born in the middle of the night and both sisters nursed them. So now the babies are fully vetted and ready for their FUREVER homes. Meet VIOLET VAN HELSING! If you're looking for a lap cat, a cuddle buddy, and a best friend all in one, look no further than VIOLET VAN HELSING. This gentle and sensitive girl is the most snuggly of her group, and she's ready to lavish her endless affection on a devoted human. All she wants is to be as close to you as possible, whether she's nuzzled against your neck at night or stretched out beside you in bed with her soft belly exposed for rubs. Her capacity for love is immense, and she connects quickly and deeply with people. VIOLET VAN HELSING's love language is physical affection. You'll hear her signature, rumbling purr the moment your eyes meet, and she'll rub all over you with loving headbutts and gentle pawing to ask for more pets. When she's overcome with joy, she might even greet you by climbing your jeans to get into your arms for a happy hug. This little shadow will follow you everywhere, always keeping a watchful eye on you from wherever she is in the room. She even has a special, charming habit of perching on your shoulder or back while you're busy with chores like scooping the litter box. Despite her affectionate nature, VIOLET VAN HELSING is a gentle soul who is a little wary of new noises and animals. She gets intimidated by strong or dominant cat personalities, so she would do best in a calm home environment where she can be the center of her human's attention. She may need a bit of time to relax and feel safe in a new space, but once she does, her loving and playful personality will shine through. VIOLET VAN HELSING enjoys a good play session, whether she's chasing after crinkle balls or tackling a wand toy. VIOLET VAN HELSING isn't just looking for a home; she's looking for her human. She's a sweet, gentle spirit who will reward your patience with unwavering loyalty and an abundance of hugs and cuddles. Her love is a gift, and for the right person, it's a gift that will keep on giving. VIOLET VAN HELSING is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / MACKEREL TABBY MIX. She is about 5 months old. She is good with cats, children and dogs. JACK VAN HELSING is currently at a foster home in North Hollywood, California. ******We do not do adoptions of any kitten under 8 months, if there is no other cat in the home. It must be a young cat.

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.

NOVEMBER 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! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old. PRINCE CHARMING 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 OCTOBER 2025, 86 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 i in their professional pictures, Rescue Mama names her rescue cats after shows she watches. PRINCE CHARMING is the definition of a survivor with a heart of gold. Arriving from a difficult hoarding case in Riverside, California he faced overwhelming challenges. But despite a rough start in life, this sweet orange tabby holds absolutely no grudges. His spirit is as bright as his ginger fur, and he is ready to write the next, much happier chapter of his life with a loving family. PRINCE CHARMING has quickly learned that a soft human touch and a full food bowl are two of life's greatest pleasures. He absolutely adores his wet food and isn't shy about asking for it—his charmingly persistent "talks" will let you know exactly when he's ready for dinner. These conversations are just one of his many endearing qualities. PRINCE CHARMING is a playful cat who loves to chase toys and bat around anything that crinkles. Watching him play brings pure joy, and his happy spirit is contagious. Sometimes, when he’s deep in thought, you might notice a little worried look on his face, a tiny echo of his past. But a gentle scratch behind the ears or a quiet word is all it takes to remind him that he is safe and loved. He has shown incredible resilience and an ability to trust, proving that true happiness can be found after hardship. If you're looking for a cat who will appreciate every ounce of kindness you give him, PRINCE CHARMING is waiting for his happy ending. PRINCE CHARMING is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TABBY MIX. He is about 1 year and 4 months old. PRINCE CHARMING is good with cats. He has never been around children but has lived with dogs. Not sure if he actually met the dog but there was a dog in the home.

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.

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! 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 1 month old and is tolerant of other cats. She has not been around young children She has never been around dogs.

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. ESTRELLADO was saved by an independent rescuer back in late 2017. He was a tiny kitten. Well fast forward to over a year ago, 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. We pulled 55 cats that were still alive. Our rescue took 26 of those cats into out rescue. ESTRELLADO is the second one to be ready for adoption. Meet ESTRELLADO, a charming seven-year-old tuxedo cat with a heart full of love, who’s ready to find his new forever home! Rescued from a challenging hoarding situation, this sweet boy has blossomed into a delightful companion, eager to share his life with kind-hearted humans. ESTRELLADO is a true lap cat, always looking for a cozy spot to curl up and snuggle with his favorite people. His striking black and white coat is as captivating as his personality, and he carries an undeniable charm that instantly warms the hearts of everyone he meets. Despite his rough beginnings, he exudes a joyful spirit and is always ready to show affection with gentle purrs and soft head nudges. Playful at heart, ESTRELLADO loves to engage in fun activities, especially when there’s a cat tree involved! He enjoys climbing, perching, and observing the world from above, all while keeping an eye out for playful antics with his fellow feline friends. While he gets along well with most cats, his friendly disposition makes him adaptable and open to new friendships. Having lived with dogs before, ESTRELLADO is comfortable sharing his space with canine companions, showcasing his easygoing nature. His love for canned food is an added bonus—he’s always ready to join you in the kitchen for a tasty treat! With a loving personality that shines through in everything he does, ESTRELLADO is eager to be a part of a caring family. He’s looking for a home where he can continue to feel safe and cherished, and in return, he promises to fill your days with warmth and joy. Are you ready to welcome ESTRELLADO into your heart and home? This sweet tuxedo boy is ready to share his love and companionship with you.

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! DR TEMPERANCE "BONES" BRENNAN and 10 other cats were dumped in the Home Depot parking lot in Hawthorne, California. Our trapper friend was notified and she started trapping them. She took her because she was emaciated. Eyes were sunk in and a bad URI. She had a litter somewhere and she was too sick to release back. Because she was in such bad shape, we think the kittens all died. We helped her with 4 cats. And will hopefully help her with any of the rest of the cats. We named them after the show BONES. The rescue mama was watching that show at the time. DR TEMPERANCE "BONES" BRENNAN, a feisty Turkish Van from Hawthorne, California whose striking white coat is as bold and brilliant as her larger-than-life personality. Bones, as her friends call her (and yes, she absolutely expects to be your friend—eventually), is the kind of cat who marches to the beat of her own pawsteps. She's got sass, class, and a touch of mystery—true to her namesake. With a mind as sharp as her claws during playtime, she keeps things interesting with her signature blend of charm and strong opinions. She’s playful, intelligent, and never one to turn down a good game of chase-the-feather or laser-pointer espionage. This confident lady knows what she likes—and she’s not afraid to let you know. Her preference? A quiet kingdom where she's the reigning queen. While she’s full of personality and has a soft spot for her favorite humans, she prefers not to share her domain with other cats. She’s a solo act, and honestly, she rocks it. Turkish Vans are known for their athleticism, playful spirit, and love of high perches, and Bones is no exception. She’s curious and clever, always eager to investigate new spaces or watch the world go by from a windowsill throne. Just be ready to give her a little space on her terms—she’s not one for constant snuggles, but when she warms up, her affection is genuine and full of trust. DR TEMPERANCE "BONES" BRENNAN thrives in a calm environment with a patient and loving caregiver who appreciates her independent streak and can match her clever energy with enrichment and play. She’d be a great fit for someone who values personality and a touch of drama in their feline companion—because with Bones, life is anything but boring. Could your home be the mystery-filled adventure this bold beauty needs? If you're ready for a one-of-a-kind cat with a sharp mind and an even sharper sense of humor, DR TEMPERANCE "BONES" BRENNAN might just be your perfect match. DR TEMPERANCE "BONES" BRENNAN is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / SIAMESE MIX. She is about 3 years and 5 months old. She has lived with cats, but would do better by herself. She has never been around children or dogs. DR TEMPERANCE "BONES" BRENNAN is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. Go to Workinwhiskers.com (Click on ADOPT) 2.
