Understand that this is an adoption of a beautiful little soul that deserves the absolute best life. CASION and CASSIE were living in really bad area of Torrance, CA. The independent rescuer was asked to help get the local strays fixed and save these 2 teenagers. We were more than happy to help! These poor little guys were so malnourished, sick and scared. So once there was space at our rescue, we picked them up! Meet CASION, a young, sweet, and independent soul. His curious nature leads him to explore every nook and cranny, while his goofy side keeps everyone around him amused. Gentle and mellow, CASION also has a funny streak that will leave you chuckling. He's smart, playful, and brave, yet retains a shy side that makes him all the more endearing. His favorite thing in the world? Can food! He can't resist it. CASION's diverse personality traits make him a wonderful companion. His independence means he's content on his own, but his playful and loving side means he'll always be there when you need a friend. Adopt CASION and let his sweet, goofy charm brighten your everyday life. We would love to see CASION go home with her brother CASSIE. They are not bonded. But they have lived together all their lives. The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. That said, it’s not uncommon for cats to live into their late teens or twenties. Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. CASION is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TURKISH VAN-TUXEDO MIX. He is about 2 years old and 6 months. He is good with cats. He has never been around young children or dogs. CASION is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. Go to Workinwhiskers.com (Click on ADOPT) 2. Fill Out Online Form 3.
