Story
PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BELOW BEFORE YOU RESPOND. 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. 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 is ready for his "Furever" home. He is the last of his siblings left. He is very curious about everything. He can be shy...but we truly needs a chance to blossom!! Loves can food. He does not like to be PICKED UP. He prefers to play and explore. He absolutely loves to play with other cats and loves the cat wand toys. 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 2 years 10 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! YAZHU is currently located at our rescue in Hemet, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. Go to Workinwhiskers.com (Click on ADOPT) 2. Fill Out Online Form 3. Submit Online Application 4.

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. ALLY and her 4 siblings (REESE - SCOUT - HAMMY - FRANKY) were saved from the shelter. Actually FRANKY was saved from a different situation, but was adopted by his foster siblings quite quickly. We were notified by the shelter about ALLY and her siblings that the kittens were sick and were gonna be euthanized. ALLY is a little more independent. She will allow you to pick her up and enjoys cuddles. I think after a few good ear rubs, she will be won over! She definitely loves to play and run. She was the first of her siblings to master the cat tree to the top. ALLY is not a picky eater. She loves kitty treats toys, kitty tunnels and cardboard boxes are her 3 favorite things in life. She has the cutest little mustacho on her little face! She will definitely need a cat at home. She seems to be fond of older female cats. As you can see in the pictures, she's happiest with an older cat. ALLY is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TURKISH VAN MIX. She is 13 months old. She is good with cats of all ages and non-reactive with dogs. She has never been around children. ALLY is currently in a foster home in Cathedral City, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. Go to Workinwhiskers.com (Click on ADOPT) 2. Fill Out Online Form 3.
