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!

OCTAVIA BLAKE and her siblings (CLARKE GRIFFIN, RAVEN REYES, LINCOLN, JOHN MURPHY and BELLAMY BLAKE) were saved in Menifee, California. The couple saved the kittens and got mom fixed. They fostered them till they were ready for us to take them. They were all named after the show The 100. Meet OCTAVIA BLAKE, a sweet Abyssinian Torbie Tabby from Menifee, California, whose heart is as warm as her beautifully patched coat of cinnamon, cream, and smoky gray. With her playful personality and endless affection, OCTAVIA BLAKE is the kind of feline friend who turns every day into a cozy little adventure. She’s an explorer at heart—always the first to venture into a new room or peek behind a curtain with wide, curious eyes. Whether she's following a trail of toys or just chasing shadows in a sunbeam, OCTAVIA BLAKE brings a delightful spark of wonder to everything she does. But don’t be fooled by her adventurous side—this girl is also a certified cuddle expert. One of OCTAVIA BLAKE’s favorite places in the world? Right beside her person. She loves to curl up for a nap next to her human, her soft purrs humming like a lullaby. She offers the perfect blend of independence and companionship—exploring her surroundings with enthusiasm and then settling in close when it's time to rest. And when it comes to feline friendships, OCTAVIA BLAKE is a total sweetheart. She thrives in the company of other cats, sharing toys, affection, and the occasional game of tag with gentle enthusiasm. Her Abyssinian heritage shines through in her sleek frame, big expressive eyes, and high intelligence. Tabico markings make her especially unique, giving her a one-of-a-kind look that matches her one-of-a-kind heart. Whether she’s batting at a feather wand or simply lounging nearby while you go about your day, she brings warmth, joy, and a comforting sense of companionship. OCTAVIA BLAKE has been raised in a calm and quiet home and would thrive in a loving environment where she can keep up her favorite routines: exploring, snuggling, and bonding with both feline and human friends. Could OCTAVIA BLAKE be the cozy, playful companion your heart’s been searching for? OCTAVIA BLAKE is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / ABYSSINIAN TORBIE TABBY MIX. She is about 1 year old 4 months old.

They fostered them till they were ready for us to take them. They were all named after the show The 100. Meet RAVEN REYES, a curious Abyssinian Dilute torbie from Menifee, California, whose spirit is equal parts explorer and sweetheart, wrapped in a beautifully soft swirl of silvery blue and cream. With a heart full of adventure and a nose that always leads her to the next great discovery, RAVEN REYES is the first to step into new spaces, tail high and eyes wide with wonder. This little trailblazer doesn’t just explore the world—she embraces it with kindness. RAVEN REYES is gentle and considerate with her siblings, often pausing her play to groom and cuddle them. Whether she’s chasing a toy mouse, batting a jingly ball, or gleefully batting a lone piece of kibble across the floor like it’s the crown jewel of toys, RAVEN REYES turns every moment into playtime. She has a real talent for finding joy in the little things, and her playful energy is as contagious as her contented purrs. RAVEN REYES is also a total people-watcher. She loves to perch nearby while you work, her big curious eyes soaking in every movement like she’s trying to crack the mystery of what humans actually do all day. She thrives on companionship and adores being pet—just the sight of a hand reaching her way gets that motor running! And she loves sitting on your lap to get lots of love! Though she’s lived in a quiet home without children, she’s been exposed to the sound of dogs thanks to a chatty neighbor pup, so she may adjust to a home with calm canine companions. She’s got a brave streak too—yes, she’ll dart away at the sound of the vacuum, but moments later, she’s right there investigating like a tiny detective on the case. Cuddly, observant, and endlessly curious, RAVEN REYES is ready to bring love, laughter, and a dash of feline mischief to a new loving home. Could she be the delightful new addition your family has been waiting for? RAVEN REYES is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / DILUTED ABYSSINIAN TORBIE MIX. She is about 1 year 1 month old.

SEPTEMBER 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! Rescue mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old. MARIE was found in a parking lot in Compton, California. The independent rescuer that found her saved her from being attacked by other animals. At the time, it was unsure if she was going to be returned to that colony and was ear-tipped. While in recovery, it was discovered that she is a very sweet girl. That's when we got the call. So MARIE has known the street life for a very short time. She has now been living a nice pampered life. As you can see in the pictures, she is loved and spoiled. MARIE loves to be petted, but she still gets a little nervous. Loves to cuddle with her cat friends. She does love to play!! While in foster care, she's made really good friends with CARMEL. They love to hang out and play very well together. They are not sisters, but they sure act like it. Our girl was adopted with ZANDER and lived with his human for over 2 years. To her dismay, her human died. And the back up humans, dumped them on her neighbor. So now MARIE is back at our rescue. She is now ready for his new home. From Compton to Comfort: MARIE ’s Second Act MARIE 's tale began with an act of heroism. A compassionate soul found her in a Compton parking lot, saving her from a dangerous situation. Though she was ear-tipped with the intention of returning her to the streets, her innate sweetness during her recovery quickly revealed that this was no ordinary street cat. Since coming into our care, MARIE has happily retired from her short-lived life of crime and taken up a new one of leisure. As you can see, the spoiling has commenced!. Now, MARIE is a girl who appreciates the finer things: a warm lap, a soft bed, and a good friend. She may start off a little shy, and a bit nervous about new situations, but her heart is open and ready for love. She's a cuddler, especially with her feline companions, and a true play enthusiast. Her time in foster care has proven she's excellent with other cats, having developed an especially close friendship with Carmel. Unfortunately, fate dealt MARIE another cruel blow when the human who adopted her with ZANDER passed away, and she was left to fend for herself again after being abandoned on a neighbor. But MARIE 's spirit is not so easily extinguished. This beautiful Abyssinian/Tabby-Tiger mix has already survived the streets and heartbreak. Now, she's ready for her happily ever after.

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. MARIE is ALREADY fully vetted.
