Story
This sweet girl was in a bad situation, her owners said that she was too hyper for them and they kicked her out of the house. A very kind lady took her in and then got her to us. She is not hyper, she is a super sweet, energetic fun kitten. She loves to play with the other cats. She does like to be pet and enjoys being around us. Understandably she can be shy and isn’t comfortable yet with being picked up. We adore her and are looking for her forever home

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! WOLVERINE, his mom X-23 and his sister ELEKTRA were saved in Hemet, California. The wonderful lady that lives in a mobile home saved them from the very cruel neighbors. She fostered them till they were ready for us to take them. Meet WOLVERINE, a sweet and curious Turkish Van mix from Hemet, California, whose stunning yellow eyes and shiny coat will captivate you at first glance. While he may be a bit shy initially, once he builds trust with you, WOLVERINE transforms into an affectionate, cuddly companion who loves nothing more than curling up for a cozy snuggle session. His gentle nature and playful spirit make him an irresistible friend, always eager to explore new things and share love with those he holds dear. WOLVERINE has a particular fondness for wet food and Churu treats, which he eagerly devours, making meal time a delightful experience. His playful side shines through when he’s chasing after toys, leaping with agility, and engaging in his favorite games. He’s also a highly curious and inquisitive kitty, constantly exploring his surroundings and investigating every nook and cranny, making him a little adventurer at heart. One of WOLVERINE’s most special relationships is with his sister, ELEKTRA. The two love each other, spending hours together, playing and cuddling. Their companionship is a heartwarming sight, and they absolutely love being in each other’s company. Whether they’re snuggling up for a nap or embarking on a playful chase. WOLVERINE is looking for a loving family who will appreciate his quiet, thoughtful nature and understand his need for patience while he gets comfortable in a new environment. Once he’s given the time and space to trust, he will reward his family with endless affection, laughter, and curiosity. A home where he can continue his playful would be the perfect place for this sweet, inquisitive boy. Are you ready to share your home with WOLVERINE? He will bring warmth, love, and adventure to your life. For more information, please go to our website: Workinwhiskers.com WOLVERINE is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TURKISH VAN MIX.

So YAMATO (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 girl, she deserves to be have a wonderful home. She has now been living a nice pampered life in our cattery. Meet YAMATO, a feline with a spirit as strong as her namesake. Her independence shines through in her daily routines. She's brave, often exploring new corners of her surroundings with a cautious curiosity. Her intelligence is evident in the way she solves our treat puzzles and toys. Despite her bravery and smarts, YAMATO maintains a mellow demeanor, often seen lounging peacefully. She can be a bit shy and skittish, preferring a calm, quiet environment. But once she warms up to you, she'll show you a loyalty that's unmatched. Adopt YAMATO and you'll gain not just a pet, but a companion who will brave life's adventures with you, offering a comforting presence in quieter moments.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.BlindJelly – A Sweet, Blind Calico Looking for Her Forever Lap   Jelly is a beautiful calico kitty she 1 1/2 with a heart full of love. As a baby, she survived an eye infection that left scarring and impaired vision. She’s fully healed now, but because she can’t see clearly—only shapes & movements—new places can feel scary at first. She just needs a gentle, patient adopter who will give her time to settle in at her own pace. Once Jelly feels safe, her true personality blossoms. She becomes wonderfully affectionate, seeks out laps, and gives the softest purrs. She loves being petted, enjoys her toys, and is very food-motivated. Her foster mom describes her as  “the easiest cat to care for!”  Jelly happily climbs into her lap on her own, sleeps beside her every night, and politely entertains herself in the morning until she hears you waking up—then greets you with the sweetest, quiet meow. &#226&#156&#168  Jelly’s Foster Mom Says: “She’s really delightful. Beautiful fur—so soft and colorful. My sweet JellyBelly.”   Special Needs & Safety Because of her limited vision, Jelly needs a home with a few simple safety accommodations: Block off high stairs or railings Use lower cat trees and avoid tall perches A calm environment and patient introduction period Once settled, Jelly is a gentle, loving companion who adores being close to her person. If you’re ready to open your heart to a special kitty who will reward you with endless affection,  jelly is fully litter box trained, up-to-date on vaccines, micro chipped, negative for FIV/FELV treated for fleas, healthy and happy.apply to meet Jelly today . www.dreamar.org She can’t wait to find her forever lap.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 1, 2026, 2:33 pm
