JUNE 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. ATHENA GRANT and her 2 siblings (KAREN WILSON - JOSH RUSSO - MAY GRANT - EDDIE DIAZ) were saved from a hoarding case in Watts, California. They were all barley surviving. We named all the cats that were saved from that place after the characters in the show 911. ATHENA GRANT is a shy yet inquisitive cat. She possesses a loving demeanor and thrives on proximity to her human companions. While she enjoys cuddling, it is essential to respect her boundaries and allow her to initiate affection. A gradual approach is recommended, as sudden movements may be overwhelming. ATHENA GRANT is deeply devoted to her human family and requires time to establish trust. Her athletic build and slender physique are reminiscent of a track and field athlete. As a highly energetic and playful individual, ATHENA GRANT delights in engaging in physical activities and chasing toys. She coexists harmoniously with calm and composed felines who respect her personal space. However, she may become overwhelmed by assertive or dominant cats. ATHENA GRANTs greatest desire is to form a deep bond with a human companion. Due to her sensitive nature, it is advisable that she be placed in a household with older children who understand and respect personal boundaries. Her compatibility with canine companions is uncertain. ATHENA GRANT seems to be the kind of cat who is both subtle and graceful in her approach to relationshipswhether with humans or other animals. Her Egyptian Mau background gives her a naturally athletic and agile build, but it also comes with a keen sense of awareness. These cats are often known for their intelligence and sensitivity, so ATHENA GRANT might be particularly attuned to the emotions of the people around her. When shes shy, its likely her way of processing the world and making sure she feels comfortable with the energy in the room. It also means she can form incredibly strong bonds with her human family once she feels safe. Its clear that patience is key with her. Since sudden movements can overwhelm her, its likely that building trust with Athena will take time, and that slow, consistent approach will eventually pay off. The fact that shes playful and energetic suggests that once youve earned her trust, shell open up and be an active participant in your life. Its just a matter of respecting her boundaries and allowing her to initiate physical affection when she feels ready. For someone who is attentive to her needs, I imagine ATHENA GRANT would be a deeply rewarding companion. Her playful side might come out during quiet, low-stress moments when she feels comfortable and secure. Given her athletic build, shes probably not the type to just lounge around all day. Egyptian Maus are known for their energetic bursts, and I can imagine her delighting in chasing toys, maybe pouncing on them with that sleek, graceful movement thats characteristic of the breed. Whether shes chasing a feather wand or pouncing on a ball, those play sessions will likely be an essential part of her routine to burn off energy and keep herself mentally stimulated. When it comes to other animals, ATHENA GRANT seems like she could thrive in a calm, peaceful household. Shed likely get along best with other cats who respect her spaceones who are more introverted or laid-back rather than overly dominant or assertive. Since shes sensitive, its understandable that she might feel overwhelmed by more dominant cats who are pushy or aggressive, but with the right companion, she might develop a harmonious relationship where both cats understand each others boundaries. The mention of her being better suited for a home with older children is insightful. Children who are respectful of ATHENA GRANTs personal space would allow her to feel more secure and be able to interact with them at her own pace. ATHENA GRANTs shyness could be an asset in a quieter, more structured environment where she can learn to trust the people around her at her own speed. ATHENA GRANT's story is one of resilience and healing, and her gentle soul is a reminder of the power of kindness and care. Though shes come a long way from her rough beginnings, shes never forgotten how much love can change a life. Now, she spends her days in quiet joy, a constant reminder of the unconditional love that a rescue pet can give. ATHENA GRANTs journey from a sick kitten in a rehab center to the sweet lap cat she is today is a testament to the strength of the human-animal bond and the healing power of patience, care, and a warm lap.

Oh and quite fond of his (we think) sister KOALA. NEZUMI is such a sweet love bug. All he wants is pets and love. Loves to play. He really loves to play with anything and makes you laugh with his silliness. NEZUMI comes running when it's time to get his can food. He will actually let you know to hurry up!

Adoption is an important time in your life and we are grateful to be a part of it. We take pride in offering you a personalized adoption experience with continuing behavioral support as needed. -Mindy Gould, CEO   Hi, I’m Tala I may have a tiny little body, but don’t let that fool you—I have a HUGE personality! I’m a Bengal girl who was rescued from a retiring breeder situation, and I’m learning more every day what it means to be a spoiled, loved house kitty. My absolute favorite thing in the world? My wheel! I could run for hours and would love a home that enjoys my playful, energetic side. When I’m not zooming, I’m soaking up attention from my people—I really love being around humans and getting lots of pets. I’ll be honest, I’m not a big fan of being held, but I show my love in my own sweet ways. I’ll charm you instantly with my big green eyes and my affectionate personality. I bond deeply with my people and will happily keep you company. Because I like to be the center of attention, I do best as your one and only kitty. At just 6–7 pounds, I’m closer in size to my leopard relatives than your average house cat—but my heart is all about love. If you’re looking for a unique, beautiful, and lively companion who will truly capture your heart, I just might be your girl Note:  A2R kitties are all sterilized, fully vaccinated (if old enough), socialized in private homes not a cattery, they usually receive high end cat food, probiotics, & regular health care.

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 July 19, 2026, 2:56 am

Adoption is an important time in your life and we are grateful to be a part of it. We take pride in offering you a personalized adoption experience with continuing behavioral support as needed. -Mindy Gould, CEO   Hi, I’m Xia I’m a Toyger — which means I look like a tiny tiger, with beautiful bold stripes and a sleek, athletic build (think Bengal flair with a designer twist!). I even come from the original creator of the Toyger breed, which makes my story a little extra special. I spent my early life as a breeder kitty, so when I first arrived in rescue, people and home life were still very new to me. At first I was VERY shy and liked to hide while I figured things out.  With a little patience and a lot of kindness, I started learning how nice it feels to be loved. My favorite thing became being wrapped in a cozy blanket and held while relaxing on the couch. That's when I discovered how comforting human affection can be.  I am still a bit shy when meeting new people and may take a moment before I come up to say hello, but once I feel safe, I turn into the sweetest girl who loves gentle pets and quiet cuddles. I just need someone patient who will give me a little time to blossom. I love being held and giving neck snuggles.  If  you have a calm home and a kind heart, I promise I will reward you with the  most loving companionship.    Now I’m ready for the next chapter - one where I’m someone’s special girl, not part of a program, but part of a family.

I got this cat in 2023 when he was a small baby and I've raised him myself I am moving and the apartments are not gonna let me keep him I want him to go to a home I know where he will be able to live long and comfortably. He is really sweet and chill he never attacks hisses or anything. All he does is lay around and rub against you and eat .
