Meet Ms. Moo, a resilient feline with an incredible backstory! Rescued at the tender age of 5 weeks from the dangerous confines of a storm drain, she’s overcome adversity with lots of love and care from her foster family. While adapting took some time, Ms. Moo has blossomed into a delightful companion. This charming kitty has a weakness for churus, wet food, and treats that can easily unlock the pathway to her heart, rewarding you with purrs and biscuits in your lap.  She is also a big fan of dogs, big and small, other cats, and older gentle kids! Mila is a remarkably independent girl, content with her toys and a clean litter box.  ##1757076##

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. YAZHU and what we believe are his siblings were saved from a really rough neighborhood in LA County. This wonderful group that helps out people in that area do TNR (Trap - Neuter - Return) saved them. So the adults were all TNRed and the kittens were sent to rescues. We took on YAZHU and his siblings (YING - YANG - YISRAEL - YAWEN). YAZHU has been ready for his FUREVER home for a long time. Meet YAZHU, a cat with a personality that is as varied as it is endearing. Independent and brave, he is a feline who thrives on his own, yet is always ready for a game of chase. His smart and mellow nature makes him an excellent companion for quiet evenings. Despite his shy and timid demeanor, YAZHU has a sweet, curious, and goofy side that shines through once he warms up to you. He's known to be a bit skittish, but his love for treats always wins out. YAZHU is not just funny and playful, but he also brings joy and laughter to everyone around him. If you're looking for a cat who is full of surprises and will keep you on your toes, YAZHU is the one. His unique personality and love for life make him the perfect addition to any home looking for a little extra love and laughter. YAHZU absolutely has the personality of a Turkish Van cat. His personality is best described as energetic, playful and fun-loving. Turkish Vans like to be cuddled and held on their own terms, though not for long periods of time. But YAHZU does come look for pets. And he is totally treat motivated! YAZHU is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TURKISH VAN MIX. He has a black spot on his nose, black on his ears and a black tail. He is 3 years and 5 months old He has never been around small children. In the rescue he has been exposed to dogs and he is quite curious about them. He absolutely loves all cats!

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. 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.
