MARCH 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. 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? If you’re interested in bringing MAY GRANT into your life, please apply at: Workinwhiskers.com MAY GRANT is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / EGYTIAN MAU TABBY MIX. She is about 1 year 7 months old.

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. 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.

JUNE 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. ANASTACIA 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 JUNE 2026, 100 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 and for only the pictures, Rescue Mama names her rescue cats after shows she watches. MEET ANASTACIA!! ANASTACIA is a beautiful orange tabby kitten with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love. She came from a terrible hoarding situation, but despite her difficult start in life, this resilient little girl has blossomed into a sweet, playful kitten who is ready to find the loving forever home she deserves. ANASTACIA may be a little shy at first and needs some time to feel safe and comfortable in new surroundings. Once she trusts you, her affectionate and friendly personality shines through. She enjoys being around people and has a soft, loving nature that makes her incredibly special. One of ANASTACIA's favorite things is the company of mother cats. She finds comfort and security around calm, nurturing feline companions and would likely do well in a home with a gentle, cat-friendly adult cat who can help her continue to build confidence. Like any kitten, ANASTACIA loves to play! She enjoys chasing toys, exploring her surroundings, and engaging in all the fun and antics that make kittenhood so delightful. And if you really want to win her over, treats are the way to her heart! She absolutely loves snack time and happily accepts treats as part of making new friends. ANASTACIA is looking for a patient, loving family that will give her the time she needs to settle in and continue learning that the world can be a safe and happy place. In return, you'll gain a sweet, playful, and grateful companion who is ready to leave her past behind and begin a wonderful new chapter filled with love. ANASTACIA is a loyal friend, always ready to lend a paw in times of need. ANASTACIA's past doesn't define her. She's ready to start a new chapter, filled with cuddles and laughter. If you're seeking a friendly, smart, and brave companion, look no further. Adopt ANASTACIA today! ANASTACIA is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TABBY MIX. She is about 9 months old and likes other cats.

FEBUARY 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. CORA HALE, her mom NATALIE MARTIN and her 4 siblings (KIRA YUKIMURA, THEO RAEKEN, LIAM DUNBAR and MALIA TATE) were rescued from the a backyard. Rescue mama was called that the neighbors were not being kind to the little family. So a trapper went out and trapped the family and brought them to our rescue. With all the chaotic rescuing going on in the summer, we were not able to get out kittens into our regular clinic. We were offered a different clinic and we made the appointments. To our dismay 7 of the 18 cats sent to this clinic ended up in the emergency room. CORA HALE was one of them. Her incision opened and were were able to save her. Our little CORA HALE has been through so much tragedy at such a young age. She deserves a wonderful home that will love her and want to give her a TRUE FUREVER home. Meet CORA HALE, a shy and sweet orange and white tabby from a quiet corner of the world, whose timid nature is perfectly balanced by her love for fun and food. CORA HALE is the kind of cat who needs a little time to warm up, but once she feels safe, her quirky side really shines. You’ll often catch her hissing at first, but don’t let that fool you—she’s just a little hesitant at the start. With patience and understanding, CORA HALE becomes the sweetest companion, especially when she’s surrounded by her favorite things: catnip, treats, and a good can of wet food. CORA HALE's love for catnip is nothing short of legendary—once she gets a whiff, it’s like a switch flips, and she’s ready for all the crazy antics that come with it! Her playful side also comes out when you toss a toy her way; she’ll chase and bat it around like the happiest little kitty. But what really brings her joy is having a fellow feline friend around. CORA HALE absolutely thrives in the company of other cats, and she would benefit from having a friendly, confident cat to help her feel more secure and comfortable in her new surroundings. A cat companion who can show her the ropes and help her build confidence would make all the difference in her journey. CORA HALE would do best in a quiet, loving home where she has time to acclimate and get used to her new family. A patient pet parent who understands the value of giving her space when she needs it, and gently encouraging her with treats, play, and a little love, will see her blossom into the affectionate and playful companion she’s meant to be. Are you the gentle, caring family who can help CORA HALE bloom into her most confident self? Reach out today at Workinwhiskers.com CORA HALE is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TABBY MIX.

MARCH 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. 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?

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. 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.

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. ANASTACIA 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 JUNE 2026, 100 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 and for only the pictures, Rescue Mama names her rescue cats after shows she watches. MEET ANASTACIA!! ANASTACIA is a beautiful orange tabby kitten with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love. She came from a terrible hoarding situation, but despite her difficult start in life, this resilient little girl has blossomed into a sweet, playful kitten who is ready to find the loving forever home she deserves. ANASTACIA may be a little shy at first and needs some time to feel safe and comfortable in new surroundings. Once she trusts you, her affectionate and friendly personality shines through. She enjoys being around people and has a soft, loving nature that makes her incredibly special. One of ANASTACIA's favorite things is the company of mother cats. She finds comfort and security around calm, nurturing feline companions and would likely do well in a home with a gentle, cat-friendly adult cat who can help her continue to build confidence. Like any kitten, ANASTACIA loves to play! She enjoys chasing toys, exploring her surroundings, and engaging in all the fun and antics that make kittenhood so delightful. And if you really want to win her over, treats are the way to her heart! She absolutely loves snack time and happily accepts treats as part of making new friends. ANASTACIA is looking for a patient, loving family that will give her the time she needs to settle in and continue learning that the world can be a safe and happy place. In return, you'll gain a sweet, playful, and grateful companion who is ready to leave her past behind and begin a wonderful new chapter filled with love. ANASTACIA is a loyal friend, always ready to lend a paw in times of need. ANASTACIA's past doesn't define her. She's ready to start a new chapter, filled with cuddles and laughter.

FEBUARY 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. CORA HALE, her mom NATALIE MARTIN and her 4 siblings (KIRA YUKIMURA, THEO RAEKEN, LIAM DUNBAR and MALIA TATE) were rescued from the a backyard. Rescue mama was called that the neighbors were not being kind to the little family. So a trapper went out and trapped the family and brought them to our rescue. With all the chaotic rescuing going on in the summer, we were not able to get out kittens into our regular clinic. We were offered a different clinic and we made the appointments. To our dismay 7 of the 18 cats sent to this clinic ended up in the emergency room. CORA HALE was one of them. Her incision opened and were were able to save her. Our little CORA HALE has been through so much tragedy at such a young age. She deserves a wonderful home that will love her and want to give her a TRUE FUREVER home. Meet CORA HALE, a shy and sweet orange and white tabby from a quiet corner of the world, whose timid nature is perfectly balanced by her love for fun and food. CORA HALE is the kind of cat who needs a little time to warm up, but once she feels safe, her quirky side really shines. You’ll often catch her hissing at first, but don’t let that fool you—she’s just a little hesitant at the start. With patience and understanding, CORA HALE becomes the sweetest companion, especially when she’s surrounded by her favorite things: catnip, treats, and a good can of wet food. CORA HALE's love for catnip is nothing short of legendary—once she gets a whiff, it’s like a switch flips, and she’s ready for all the crazy antics that come with it! Her playful side also comes out when you toss a toy her way; she’ll chase and bat it around like the happiest little kitty. But what really brings her joy is having a fellow feline friend around. CORA HALE absolutely thrives in the company of other cats, and she would benefit from having a friendly, confident cat to help her feel more secure and comfortable in her new surroundings. A cat companion who can show her the ropes and help her build confidence would make all the difference in her journey. CORA HALE would do best in a quiet, loving home where she has time to acclimate and get used to her new family. A patient pet parent who understands the value of giving her space when she needs it, and gently encouraging her with treats, play, and a little love, will see her blossom into the affectionate and playful companion she’s meant to be. Are you the gentle, caring family who can help CORA HALE bloom into her most confident self? Reach out today at Workinwhiskers.com CORA HALE is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TABBY MIX.

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.

Story
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.
