APRIL 2026 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! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old. DAMEON and his 4 siblings (BAELON - VISERYS - AEMOND - AEGON) were turned in to the shelter as strays. But by their mannerisms and as healthy as they were, we believe they were kittens born to a domestic mama cat. These guys are the absolute sweetest kittens ever! Say hello to DAMEON, a delightful Abyssinian Tabby from Hemet, California known for his playful spirit, sweet demeanor, and, of course, his love for cuddles! DAMEON is a true charmer who not only loves his humans but also adores his fellow cat friends—he’s all about socializing and spending time with his feline pals. Whether he’s chasing a toy, curling up next to you for a cozy cuddle, or just following you around like a little shadow, DAMEON is sure to fill your home with warmth and joy. A little diva at heart, DAMEON knows exactly how to work his charm and will happily accept being pampered with attention. He’s a big fan of canned food and treats, so don’t be surprised if he lets you know when it’s time for a snack—his adorable “feed me” look is impossible to resist. But when it’s not snack time, DAMEON is all about affection, and he’ll happily climb into your lap or let you scoop him up for some extra love. One of DAMEON’s favorite pastimes is following his humans around the house, making sure you’re never far from his gaze. His playful, energetic nature means there’s never a dull moment when he’s around, and you can always count on him to bring some excitement and fun to your day. He thrives in a loving environment where he gets plenty of attention, and he’s more than happy to share his love with his fellow cats. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful companion who’ll shower you with affection, treats, and maybe even a few diva-like demands, DAMEON might be the perfect fit for you! Do you think your home is ready for a loving, cuddly little shadow? Apply at workinwhiskers.com! DAMEON is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / ABYSSINIAN-TABBY MIX. He is over 3 year and 8 months. He has lived with a dog and Guinea pigs. He is good with cats. He has never been around young children but has been with pre-teens. DAMEON is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California.

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! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old. RICHARD CASTLE and his siblings (KATE BECKETT -ALEXIS CASTLE - KEVIN RYAN - JAVIER ESPOSITO) were saved by a sweet man that takes care of his cats in his neighborhood in Hemet, California. We named them all after the show CASTLE. And lets introduce you to him. RICHARD CASTLE: A Regal Spirit Seeking a Patient Heart With a name as distinguished as his looks, RICHARD CASTLE is an undeniably striking cat. He is an Abyssinian tabby mix which makes him an intelligent, high-energy, and affectionate cat, often described as a "Tabyssinian" or a ticked tabby domestic shorthair. These mixes typically feature the athletic, slender body and large ears of an Abyssinian, combined with the distinctive ticked coat pattern, and are known to be vocal, curious, and very people-oriented, acting as loyal, active companions A True Connoisseur with a Playful Side: One of RICHARD CASTLE's greatest joys in life is his wet food – he absolutely adores it! Providing him with delicious, high-quality meals is sure to be a wonderful way to connect with this discerning gentleman. When not indulging in a gourmet treat, RICHARD CASTLE is a lover of playtime. He delights in chasing toys and engaging in playful tussles, especially with a feline friend. He truly enjoys the company of other cats and would thrive in a home with another friendly feline who's up for some playful wrestling matches. Learning to Trust, One Step at a Time: Having come from a difficult past, RICHARD CASTLE has learned to navigate the world with a bit of caution. He's comfortable with the presence of humans, often enjoying being in the same room as his people, soaking up the warmth of companionship. However, he's still learning to trust physical affection and isn't comfortable with being touched just yet. He'll need a patient adopter who understands his boundaries and is willing to let him initiate contact when he feels safe and ready. Imagine the joy of watching this resilient boy slowly open up and potentially seek out gentle pets on his own terms – it will be a truly rewarding experience for the right person or family. His Ideal Kingdom: RICHARD CASTLE is searching for a quiet, patient home where he can feel secure and continue to build his confidence at his own pace. An understanding adopter who respects his need for space and allows him to come to them for interaction will be the perfect match. His love for playing and his enjoyment of other cats means a home with a friendly feline companion would truly be a dream come true for RICHARD CASTLE. If you're looking for a handsome, independent cat with a regal presence and a heart full of potential, consider giving RICHARD CASTLE the loving, patient home he deserves. You'll be providing a safe haven for this special boy and will be rewarded with the deep satisfaction of watching him blossom into a confident and affectionate member of your family. RICHARD CASTLE is an DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / ABYSSINIAN TABBY MIX. He is about 2 years 0 months old. RICHARD CASTLE is good with cats. In his foster home, he was around other kittens and older cats. He has never been around children or dogs. RICHARD CASTLE is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. Go to Workinwhiskers.com (Click on ADOPT) 2. Fill Out Online Form 3.

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! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old. MIKITA was saved by an independent rescuer.. The lady was killed by a drunk driver. We were asked to help with her rescues and to our dismay, her house was a horrific hoarding case. We pulled 55 cats that were still alive. Our rescue took 26 of those cats into out rescue. MIKITA is now healthy and ready for adoption. Meet MIKITA! This sweet, laid-back girl is a beautiful Abyssinian Tabby, rescued from a difficult hoarding situation in Lucerne Valley, California. While MIKITA can be a bit shy at first, it doesn’t take her long to get comfortable in her new surroundings. With a little time and patience, she’ll warm right up and start showing you just how loving and affectionate she truly is. MIKITA’s gentle and sweet nature makes her the perfect companion for someone looking for a quiet, affectionate pet. Although she might get startled now and then, she’s curious and will always come back to investigate. Her little grouchy face may seem a bit intimidating at first, but don’t be fooled—she’s a total love bug who’s ready to curl up in your lap and enjoy some quiet moments together. One of MIKITA’s favorite things in the world is can food. When it’s mealtime, you’ll see her excitement shine through, and her loud purr will let you know just how much she’s enjoying her meal. And that purr? It’s as loud as it is endearing! It’s hard not to smile when you hear it—it’s Mikita’s way of telling you how much she loves being around you. MIKITA is looking for her real Furever home, where she can finally feel safe and cherished for the rest of her life. She’s the kind of cat who loves her pets and has a special way of making you feel like the most important person in the room. Her beautiful, unique coat is just one of the many things that make her stand out—along with that adorably grouchy expression! If you’re looking for a sweet, easy-going companion who’ll fill your home with love and a very loud purr, MIKITA might just be the perfect fit. Give this sweet girl a chance, and she’ll make sure you know just how much love she has to give. MIKITA is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / ABYSSINIAN-TABBY MIX. She is over 4 years 0 months old.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Skye. This incredibly sweet and humble 3-year-old Siamese boy has been through more than any cat should. Skye was found in Tijuana, Mexico, curled up on an old sheet, surrounded by broken concrete and torn-up boxes. Seeing this precious boy trying to find comfort on a pile of rubble absolutely crushed my foster’s heart. She called me, and off Skye went to the vet. Thankfully, his story didn’t end there. We would never rescue a cat just to put him back on the streets. Skye came into his foster home, where he finally found something he had been missing for far too long—safety, comfort, soft places to sleep, and plenty of good food. ❤️ Now this beautiful boy is ready for a new beginning. Siamese cats are known for being incredibly intelligent, social, affectionate, talkative, and deeply bonded to their people. Skye is looking for a patient, loving home that will give him the time he needs to adjust, feel safe, and learn that he is finally home. Skye is also friendly with other friendly male cats and has even done well with dogs! As with any animal, introductions should always be slow, calm, and respectful so everyone has time to adjust. Like every animal we rescue, Skye deserves time, patience, and understanding as he settles into his new life. His story started in Tijuana, but it doesn’t end there. ❤️ We want Skye to know that those lonely days are behind him. We want someone to look into those beautiful eyes and tell him, “You’re home.” If you think Skye could be the boy your family has been waiting for, please consider giving this sweet soul the forever home he deserves. Apply to adopt Skye at tlck9rescue.org. ❤️Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 26, 2026, 8:25 pm

Story
Meet Toulouse! This handsome Siamese point kitten has striking blue eyes and a sweet, social personality. Toulouse loves people and gets along great with other cats. His foster home has active dogs that are a bit much for him, but he does fine meeting dogs through a baby gate. He’d likely do best with a calmer, more laid-back dog. Toulouse has a whole lot of love to give and is ready to find his forever home!

Story
This girl is a total snuggle bug who loves being near her human and will come when you call her. She’s not food‑motivated — she’s you‑motivated. She’s incredibly affectionate, but she’ll give you a gentle “okay I’m done now” love‑bite when she’s had enough. She’s a play chaser, a door‑watcher (so no quick outdoor access, please), and she’s perfectly happy living indoors. She’s been great with a dog — mostly uninterested, only hissed when ambushed. She could coexist with another pet, but she’d truly shine as a solo queen. If you want a snuggly shadow with personality, boundaries, and endless charm, she’s your girl.
