BANKURO, his 4 siblings and 4 older cat relatives were living in a tough area in Baldwin Park, California. These poor babies were living in someone's yard in the heat. The rescue mama happened to look on Facebook one day and saw the video of one of BANKURO''s possible siblings being chased by a coyote. Needless to say, the rescue mama set course the next day to pick them all up. So BANKURO (named after the anime: ONE PIECE) has known the street life for a very short time. With all the tragedy that has happened to this boy and his family, he deserves to be have a wonderful home. He has now been living a nice pampered life. Meet BANKURO, a Turkish Van-Tabby mix from the quiet edges of safety in Baldwin Park, California, whose story is stitched with bravery and a heart waiting to bloom. Draped in a velvety coat of soft tabby stripes with hints of creamy white, BANKURO carries a quiet elegance that pairs beautifully with his shy but deeply thoughtful nature. This handsome fellow has known the feeling of being chased by coyotes and rescued just in time—so it’s no surprise he approaches the world with a bit of caution. He’s timid and may give you a polite hiss if you rush the introduction, but give him the gift of patience and a few churru treats, and you’ll watch the sweetest transformation unfold. While touch takes time, your gentle presence and consistency can help this shy soul come out of his shell. BANKURO is a thinker—he’ll observe from a cozy perch before joining in. But once the toys come out? It’s game on! Wand toys, feathers, crinkly tunnels—play unlocks his lighter, joyful side. He’s also incredibly food-motivated, and if you happen to hold a treat pouch in your hand, well, you just might be his new favorite person. He thrives in the company of other confident, kind-hearted cats who respect his space and offer companionship without overwhelming him. He may be best suited for a calm, cat-savvy household, where feline friendships can blossom and humans understand the art of quiet connection. He hasn’t yet met dogs or children, so a home without either—or one that can introduce him slowly and safely—would be the most comforting path for him. BANKURO doesn’t ask for much—just time, understanding, and a warm spot where he can feel secure. And in return? You’ll gain a loyal, unique companion whose moments of trust are as rewarding as they are heart-melting. Are you the calm, patient companion who can help this beautiful boy feel truly at home? Apply at Workinwhiskers.com to bring BANKURO’s quiet courage into your life. ************************** AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER TO ADOPT *************************** BANKURO is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TURKISH VAN-TABBY MIX.

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 gentle and shy black and white Turkish Van from Torrance, California, whose sweet nature is just waiting to be uncovered by a patient and loving family. CASION may be a little skittish at first, but once he feels safe and secure, his playful side shines through, and you'll discover what a joyful companion he truly is. CASION’s delicate personality means he’s not one to rush into new situations, but with a little time and a lot of understanding, he becomes a loving presence in your home. He’s especially fond of wet cat food and churru treats—there’s nothing quite like seeing his eyes light up when he gets a taste of something yummy. His quiet demeanor can sometimes be mistaken for shyness, but CASION has a lot of love to give once he feels at ease. This Turkish Van is also playful and curious, and he loves to chase after toys and explore his surroundings when he’s feeling comfortable. His playful spirit is sure to bring a smile to your face as he tumbles around, showing off his natural agility. CASION also adores the company of other friendly cats. He’s a social kitty at heart and would thrive in a home with another gentle feline friend to share his days with. CASION may be a little more reserved than some cats, but in the right environment, with a patient family who understands his need for slow introductions, he will blossom into a loyal, affectionate companion. He truly needs a loving home where he can feel safe to be himself and share his sweet personality with those who care for him. Could you offer CASION the home he needs to become the playful, loving cat he was meant to be? If you’re ready to help this shy boy come out of his shell and experience the joy of his company, apply today and give CASION the true home he’s been waiting for!

ADOPTER WILL NEED TO PICK UP********** AUGUST 2024: VOLUNTEERS are the only ones allowed to let you meet the kitty. Not PETSMART employees. Volunteers are usually at PetSmart between 9 am to 1 pm for cleaning. The cats currently at PETSMART you are allowed to go visit. A good time to come visit is between 4 pm - 9 pm. The VOLUNTEERS are only there in the evening for 3 hours so please call the PetSmart location, email us or visit the cattery for VISITING HOURS. Most days are different 3 hour shifts. It's based on volunteer availability. ******************* If you call the PETSMART location, please ask them to physically check the cattery door for the current week's VISITING HOURS. ****************** The kitties at a foster/rescue homes, we will accommodate as much as possible. But steps 1-6 of the ADOPTION PROCESS need to be done before we do OFFICIAL MEET & GREETS. It is easier to do the meet and greets at the locations listed below. PETSMART in Murrieta, California off Madison Avenue in Hemet, California off Florida Avenue in Palm Desert, California off Monterey Avenue or any PETSMART near you! The crazy rescue mama will drive kitties to their new home, meet & greets, etc...once the phone interview and home check have been done.. Gas donations always appreciated! ************* Please no calls to the rescue. No one available to take calls. ************* If the CAT/KITTEN is still listed (meaning here or other websites) they are still available. It does not mean they don't have other pending applications or meet and greets. Please note: Just because you fill out an application and are approved does not obligate you to adopt the cat/kitten. If he or she is not a fit...we have plenty of other cats / kittens available for adoption. We are a SMALL rescue based out of Hemet, California. We are all volunteers that run the rescue. If we haven't reached out....be patient. YAZHU is ALREADY fully vetted. The adoption fee of $200 covers: Neuter FVRCP shots RABIES shot FELV/FIV test (Negative/Negative) Drontal Dewormer Stronghold Flea Control Microchip We are NOT a government FUNDED shelter and all our donations and adoption fees are for our rescued cats/kittens. So, we do not do DISCOUNTS. If for some unfortunate reason you missed out on the kitten/cat you emailed about...I'm sure that we could help you with another rescue baby! Just ask! If you have any questions not covered here, please feel free to email us: Workinwhiskers2020@hotmail.com
