OCTOBER 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 4 year and 2 months.

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. 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.

This lovable boy is incredibly gentle, affectionate, and just wants to be near his people. He loves to play, enjoys getting lots of pets, and if you’re looking for a nighttime cuddle buddy, Billy Bob is your guy!  He is very docile and gets along wonderfully with other cats. Billy Bob has so much love to give and would be happiest in a home where he can be part of the family and shower his humans with affection. Billy Bob came into rescue through no fault of his own after his previous owner became seriously ill and was no longer able to care for him. He’s ready for his next chapter and is hoping it leads to a loving forever home where he can be cherished as much as he deserves. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving, playful, and cuddly companion, Billy Bob might just be your perfect match!  I am all ready for my new home! I have been sterilized by a veterinarian, had all shots I was able to get when I was sterilized or they checked my sterilization status and microchipped!  All I need now is you! I am currently living in a foster home and am fully litter trained. Act 2 Rescue will even help you make sure I am able to integrate into your human and pet family with their behavioral coaching support during the transition period. I can't wait to meet you so please fill out an application for me today! _______________________________________________________________________  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please be aware we are a small foster based rescue in Riverside, California. Our volunteers often have other jobs/careers as well. We are not a government funded shelter and all of our donations including adoption donations are used to run the rescue and help the animals in our care. Since we are no kill, higher fees for in demand breeds help us cover critical care.  We are always in need of volunteers, donations, and fosters. Please excuse any wait times as we are often inundated with emergencies or short staffed due to the overpopulation crisis. You can learn more about us on our website or follow us here.   Steps 1-2  of the ADOPTION PROCESS must be done before we do OFFICIAL MEET & GREETS or take deposits.  To keep animals healthy,  we limit  foster based meet & greets  to people fully qualified to adopt them.   No animals can be held without a $75 deposit. Deposits cannot be refunded if you change your mind, they are to hold a cat and can result in other adopters being told they cannot adopt. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1.  Application:  Log into our website and complete the adoption application at link below: Applications :  Forms (rescuegroups.org) 2. Virtual Home Check: Once your application is approved, check back if you haven't been scheduled for a virtual home check within 48 hours.  A virtual home check to ensure safety of your residence for your kitty (not perfect cleanliness). You will be told during the visit if you pass.  3. Official meet & greet with your kitty at an adoption event, foster care, or adoption center depending on location of the kitty.   We only have a few  volunteers,  so we apologize at times we fall behind due to high demand of some cats.  5. Sign adoption contract and, if appropriate, foster to adopt clause. 6. Pay adoption fee via zelle using act2rescue@gmail.com (not our phone number) or using cash. We can accept cards at adoption events but the terminal charges fees that are pretty high so it's not the best option.  7. Take your kitty home. Be sure to isolate kitty while they adjust to your home. We may check in from time to time to be sure you do not need any additional support because we love hearing how our kitties are doing. As volunteer staff, happy stories are literally our paycheck.  8. Check out our website https://act2rescue.org for resources, blogs and info on how to best take care of your new kitty. Our professional behavior coach is available via text to assist you with transition as well. We also have a Facebook group to interact with our behavior coach and other kitten care experts, as well as our A2R family like you! ****Please note, we do not have dedicated staff for phone lines so please text instead of calling. If the cat/kitten is listed, they are available. However, they could have pending applications or meet and greets scheduled. Filling out an application and approval does not obligate you to adopt the kitty. If they are not a fit...we have plenty of other kitties for adoption. This kitty has received at least two FVCRP vaccines, rabies if over 4 months, Revolution for fleas/ticks/heartworms/stomach parasites/ear mites, de-wormer, sterilization*, and microchip (you must register for it to work but it's free).  All kitties are given a general wellness check by a veterinarian prior to sterilization.  Deposits: The only way we can hold a kitty is with a non-refundable (if you decide not to adopt within 2 weeks not if we void the adoption) deposit of $75. We reserve the right to void the adoption up until the point the contract is signed. If we cancel the adoption (for kitty health or other issues) we will refund your deposit. If you wait longer than 2 weeks, we cannot hold the kitty due to space constraints. Your deposit could be used on another kitty. If you decide not to adopt at all, any deposit will go to the care of animals rescued with us and may be written off as a donation.   Foster to Adopt: Kittens must be 2 lbs or 8 weeks and fixed to be adopted. This will be noted in the approximate available date. If a kitty is unable to be fixed in a timely manner, they may foster to adopt. This would be all adoption paperwork and donations would be exchanged and the kitten would go home. Adoption paperwork will have a clause that it is not final until animal is sterilized.  Once the sterilization appointment arrives you must bring them in to be sterilized or the animal will have to be returned to the rescue. You may also have them sterilized on your own and show proof to the rescue. Once sterilized the adoption will be complete. We normally do not do these in this manner but due to extreme situations they may arise. Final health checks are done during sterilization. Any unknown health issues would also allow you to choose a different cat.   Failure to comply with sterilization will result in returning the animal to us without refund of donations. Breeds:  We cannot guarantee breed but do our best to identify possible breeds based on their appearancxe and personality. If you DNA test your furry friend, let us know the results. It is fun to see what the kitty actually is and how close our guess is. Please know not all DNA companies test for all breeds and the science is still catching up so it may adjust later to have breeds we saw. We like to know so we can improve our analysis too.   We cannot guarantee health but go to great lengths to have healthy kitties. Kitties do not live in a cattery but in private fosters for this reason.  Snap Testing: We do not test for FELV/FIV in healthy animals as it is often incorrect in animals under 6 months and can be a false positive. False negatives also give a false sense of security. These tests are best done if an animal is unhealthy to determine disease.  https://www.uwsheltermedicine.com/library/resources/why-are-some-shelters-no-longer-testing-all-cats-for-felv-and-fiv October 27, 2026, 8:00 pm
