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! DR TEMPERANCE "BONES" BRENNAN and 10 other cats were dumped in the Home Depot parking lot in Hawthorne, California. Our trapper friend was notified and she started trapping them. She took her because she was emaciated. Eyes were sunk in and a bad URI. She had a litter somewhere and she was too sick to release back. Because she was in such bad shape, we think the kittens all died. We helped her with 4 cats. And will hopefully help her with any of the rest of the cats. We named them after the show BONES. The rescue mama was watching that show at the time. DR TEMPERANCE "BONES" BRENNAN, a feisty Turkish Van from Hawthorne, California whose striking white coat is as bold and brilliant as her larger-than-life personality. Bones, as her friends call her (and yes, she absolutely expects to be your friend—eventually), is the kind of cat who marches to the beat of her own pawsteps. She's got sass, class, and a touch of mystery—true to her namesake. With a mind as sharp as her claws during playtime, she keeps things interesting with her signature blend of charm and strong opinions. She’s playful, intelligent, and never one to turn down a good game of chase-the-feather or laser-pointer espionage. This confident lady knows what she likes—and she’s not afraid to let you know. Her preference? A quiet kingdom where she's the reigning queen. While she’s full of personality and has a soft spot for her favorite humans, she prefers not to share her domain with other cats. She’s a solo act, and honestly, she rocks it. Turkish Vans are known for their athleticism, playful spirit, and love of high perches, and Bones is no exception. She’s curious and clever, always eager to investigate new spaces or watch the world go by from a windowsill throne. Just be ready to give her a little space on her terms—she’s not one for constant snuggles, but when she warms up, her affection is genuine and full of trust. DR TEMPERANCE "BONES" BRENNAN thrives in a calm environment with a patient and loving caregiver who appreciates her independent streak and can match her clever energy with enrichment and play. She’d be a great fit for someone who values personality and a touch of drama in their feline companion—because with Bones, life is anything but boring. Could your home be the mystery-filled adventure this bold beauty needs? If you're ready for a one-of-a-kind cat with a sharp mind and an even sharper sense of humor, DR TEMPERANCE "BONES" BRENNAN might just be your perfect match. DR TEMPERANCE "BONES" BRENNAN is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TURKISH VAN MIX. She is about 3 years and 1 months old. She has lived with cats, but would do better by herself. She has never been around children or dogs. DR TEMPERANCE "BONES" BRENNAN is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. Go to Workinwhiskers.com (Click on ADOPT) 2.

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. 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 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?
