WAYLON, his mom ESSIE and his siblings, ELI and ELIZABETH were kicked out of their home. So the neighbor (our foster now) picked them up and reached out to us. Then about 2 weeks later, she picked up 3 kittens that were abandoned at a vet, So ESSIE raised all 6 kittens. The other 3 are WALTER, SONNY and MAXINE.

Meet WAYLON, a young brown tabby Egyptian Mau kitten from Beaumont, California, whose adventurous spirit, curious mind, and cuddly personality make him a delightful little companion.

With WAYLON around, even an ordinary afternoon can turn into an entertaining adventure!

WAYLON’s story began on the streets of Beaumont, where he was found with his mama, ESSIE, and his siblings. Thankfully, a kind neighbor stepped in to help the little family, bringing them into a loving foster home where they could grow, play, and discover the comforts of being cared for. Now WAYLON is ready to start his next chapter with a family who will appreciate his wonderful personality and playful zest for life.

This boy is an adventurous explorer who wants to know what is happening everywhere. He is very curious, loves discovering new things, and is always ready to turn an ordinary object into an exciting new toy. Playtime is serious business for Waylon, and he brings enthusiasm to every chase, pounce, and playful leap. His lively nature is sure to keep his new family smiling.

But WAYLON has another very important talent: he is an excellent homework supervisor! Whether you are studying, working on a laptop, reading a book, or trying to finish a project, WAYLON would be happy to offer his assistance. Expect a curious little face nearby, a possible lap inspection, and perhaps a reminder that taking cuddle breaks is an essential part of productivity.

For all his adventurous energy, WAYLON is also a sweet, affectionate boy who loves being held and enjoys curling up in laps. He is the perfect combination of playful explorer and cozy cuddle companion. After a busy round of investigations, he is more than happy to settle in close to his people and enjoy some loving attention.

ELIZABETH's story began outdoors, where she was found alongside her mama, ESSIE, and her siblings, ELI and WAYLON.

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 if a kitten is too much energy for you! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old.

AMARETTI and her siblings (SNICKERDOODLE, MOCHA TRUFFLE, BISCOTTI and BUTTERSCOTCH) were left in a carrier with her mama COOKIE on a lady’s doorstep in Murrieta, California. When notified, we found a foster and who took them in.

Meet AMARETTI, a young long-haired Torbie Maine Coon beauty from Murrieta, California, whose gorgeous coat and sweet personality make her a delightful little companion. This beautiful girl has had quite a journey from the very beginning. She arrived at just three weeks old with her mama, COOKIE, and four brothers after they were left together in a carrier on a doorstep. From those tender early days, AMARETTI has grown up surrounded by love in a caring foster home, where she has learned that people are wonderful friends.

Because AMARETTI has been lovingly socialized with people from such a young age, she is comfortable around her caregivers and enjoys being part of the action. She is okay with being carried, and when she is not busy investigating something exciting, she is happy to settle in for some snuggle time. She has a lovely balance of playful kitten energy and affectionate sweetness.

Give AMARETTI a furry ball, and she is ready for a game! She loves chasing her favorite toys and showing off her playful side. But this girl also has a wonderfully curious streak. Every now and then, she decides her water bowl looks like the perfect place for a little entertainment. A playful splash here, a curious paw there, and suddenly ordinary water time becomes an adventure.

Kitten (5 months 24 days) · Male · Russian Blue / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 9 mi from Hemet

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 if a kitten is too much energy for you! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old.

DR STEPHEN STRANGE and his sister AMERICA CHAVEZ were found at a Spay/Neuter clinic in El Monte, California. We arrived at our month hosted clinic and was told the kittens were left outside of their facility. Of course we found a foster and took them in.

Meet DR STEPHEN STRANGE, a young Russian Blue kitten from El Monte, California, whose gentle spirit is slowly emerging as he learns that people can be kind, patient, and trustworthy. DR STEPHEN STRANGE was found in an alley, and we do not know about his life before he was found, but we do know that this sweet boy is taking each new experience one small step at a time.

DR STEPHEN STRANGE is shy and timid, and right now, his favorite place may be somewhere safely tucked away while he watches the world around him. He is still learning to trust, so he needs a loving family who will give him plenty of patience, reassurance, and time to feel comfortable.

Although DR STEPHEN STRANGE is cautious, he has already shown some wonderful signs of progress. He allows himself to be picked up and does okay with gentle pets. These may seem like small things, but for a kitten who is still building confidence, they are meaningful steps forward. With a calm environment, a predictable routine, and lots of positive reinforcement, DR STEPHEN STRANGE can continue discovering that affection and companionship can be wonderful things.

And there is one particularly special source of comfort in DR STEPHEN STRANGE's life: his sister, AMERICA CHAVEZ. These two young Russian Blue kittens seem very content together, and having a familiar feline companion nearby can make the world feel a little less overwhelming for a shy kitten like DR STEPHEN STRANGE.

DR STEPHEN STRANGE also knows exactly how to show his appreciation for kindness: food and treats! His love of tasty rewards can be a wonderful way to build positive associations and help him become more comfortable with his caregivers.

This sweet boy does not need to rush. He needs someone willing to meet him where he is, celebrate his little victories, and patiently watch his confidence grow. Imagine the joy of seeing DR STEPHEN STRANGE go from hiding to seeking you out for affection because he has learned that he is safe.

To learn more about adopting DR STEPHEN STRANGE, please apply at Workinwhiskers.com.com. Could you be the patient, loving family who helps this gentle little boy discover his confidence and enjoy his next chapter?

10. Cafe Con Leche

Kitten · Female · Bombay / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 10 mi from Hemet

Meet the Café Con Leche Kittens
Four tiny cups of trouble, sweetness, and caffeine-fueled kitten chaos
Some kittens are sweet.
Some are playful.
Some are cuddly.
And then there is the Café Con Leche crew, where apparently someone decided that the perfect recipe for four kittens was to combine equal parts sugar, mischief, personality, and absolutely no regard for personal space.
These four 4 month old siblings are currently in Southern California and are ready to bring a little café con leche magic into their forever homes. Imagine coming home after a long day, putting your feet up, and having one of these little characters race across the room, launch themselves onto the couch, demand attention, steal a toy, climb into your lap, or curl up beside you for a nap.
Basically, you're not adopting a kitten.
You're opening a very small, very furry café.
And there will be no closing time.
COOKIE BUTTER
Cookie Butter is proof that someone can, in fact, be shaped like a cookie.
This handsome boy absolutely lives up to his name.

Read more about Cafe Con Leche

His belly is round, soft, and looks remarkably like someone took a perfectly baked cookie and turned it into a kitten.
Cookie Butter loves playing with his three sisters, chasing toys, and generally participating in whatever kitten nonsense is happening around him. He does, however, have one important rule:
The toys are HIS.
You may have purchased them.
You may have paid for them.
You may have lovingly placed them in a basket.
But Cookie Butter has reviewed the situation and determined that ownership has been transferred.
He is also a professional napper and very much appreciates a good belly rub. So after he has finished his regularly scheduled kitten activities, he'll happily flop down and enjoy some quality relaxation.
Picture Cookie Butter in your home: racing through the living room with a toy, wrestling with his siblings, suddenly realizing he has exhausted himself, and then collapsing somewhere comfortable with his adorable round cookie belly on full display.
He's sweet, he's silly, he's cuddly, and he's basically a cookie with legs.
HONEY
Honey would like to speak to management.
Actually, Honey would like to speak to YOU.
The moment you make eye contact with this girl, she starts demanding pets.
Not subtly.
Not politely.
Not with a gentle little “excuse me.”
Demanding.
Because Honey has determined that eye contact is a legally binding agreement that you will now pet her.
And frankly, she's probably right.
Honey absolutely loves attention and has already decided that she will be Queen of the House. She loves being with her brother and sisters and can usually be found doing one of two things:
Play fighting or napping.
There is apparently no third option.
She also lives up to her name in the sweetest possible way. Once you pick her up, she just melts into your arms.
Imagine coming home after a long day and having Honey race over to greet you, demand that you acknowledge her royal presence, and then melt against you while you hold her.
Congratulations.
You have been chosen.
Honey isn't going to be your cat.
You're going to be Honey's human.
LAVENDER
If your ideal cat is one who believes the entire house is an obstacle course designed specifically for her, allow us to introduce you to Lavender.
Her foster family calls her a ninja, and we are not about to argue with people who have witnessed her in action.
Lavender bounces off walls.
She parkours.
She launches.
She explores.
She apparently believes gravity is merely a suggestion.
And somehow, in between all of that, she manages to be an incredibly social little girl who gets comfortable in new environments fairly quickly.
Her one request?
Provide toys.
Lots of toys.
Because Lavender has places to go, things to investigate, furniture to conquer, and possibly a wall to bounce off of.
Picture bringing Lavender home and watching her immediately begin mapping out her new kingdom. Five minutes later, she's discovered the couch. Ten minutes later, she's discovered the

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 if a kitten is too much energy for you! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old.

AMERICA CHAVEZ and her brother DR STEPHEN STRANGE were found at a Spay/Neuter clinic in El Monte, California. We arrived at our month hosted clinic and was told the kittens were left outside of their facility. Of course we found a foster and took them in.

Meet AMERICA CHAVEZ, a Russian Blue kitten whose delicate presence hides a sweet little heart waiting to bloom. AMERICA CHAVEZ is a very shy and cautious girl who can feel overwhelmed by new experiences, but underneath her timid nature is a gentle kitten who is beginning to show just how much affection she can offer when she feels safe and comfortable.

AMERICA CHAVEZ needs a loving family who understands that trust takes time. She may not be the kitten who immediately runs up to greet you, but she has already shown that she can accept gentle pets and even allows herself to be picked up. Those quiet moments are precious glimpses of the loving companion she can become with patience, kindness, and plenty of reassurance.

Once AMERICA CHAVEZ feels secure, she has a wonderful opportunity to build confidence at her own pace. A calm, caring environment with a predictable routine and lots of gentle encouragement will help her learn that she is safe and surrounded by people who care about her. Positive reinforcement, patience, and simply allowing her to choose when she is ready to interact will be important parts of her journey.

AMERICA CHAVEZ is also very comfortable around other cats, and she seems especially content when she is with her brother, DOCTOR STEPHEN STRANGE. Having a familiar feline companion appears to give her comfort and confidence, and watching these two together is a sweet reminder of how meaningful companionship can be for a shy kitten. They share a special connection, and AMERICA CHAVEZ clearly enjoys having her brother nearby.

For the family who is willing to give this tiny girl the time she needs, AMERICA CHAVEZ has the potential to become a wonderful companion. Imagine watching her gradually emerge from her shell, discovering favorite toys, seeking out affection, and eventually greeting you with the confidence of a kitten who knows she is safe and loved.

AMERICA CHAVEZ is ready for a patient, nurturing family who will celebrate every little step forward. To learn more about welcoming AMERICA CHAVEZ into your family, please apply at Workinwhiskers.com. Could you be the gentle person who helps this tiny girl discover just how wonderful the world can be?

We would love to see both AMERICA CHAVZ and DR STEPHEN STRANGE

Kitten · Female · Bombay / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 10 mi from Hemet

Tiny But Mighty
14 weeks old | Tiny by name, tiny by size, HUGE by personality
If you’re looking for a kitten who proves that big personalities do not require big bodies, allow us to introduce you to Tiny.
Tiny is 14 weeks old and, well… the name is extremely accurate. She is about half the size you’d expect for her age, but before you start worrying, her veterinarian has given her a clean bill of health. She’s healthy, happy and apparently just decided that being pocket-sized was the way to go.
And don't let her tiny little body fool you. Tiny is fearless.
This girl has confidence that some cats twice her size could only dream about.

Read more about Tiny

She loves people, loves other animals and thinks absolutely everything deserves to be investigated. Nothing seems to intimidate her. Not new surroundings. Not new people. Not other animals. And certainly not the 100-pound German Shepherd currently living in her foster home.
Most kittens would take one look at a dog that size and think, "Perhaps I'll stay over here."
Tiny's response?
"Oh! Hi! You're huge! Wanna be friends?"
She will walk right up to him without a hint of hesitation, completely unaware that she is approximately the size of one of his paws. She is endlessly curious, loves to explore and seems determined to personally inspect every corner of her world.
Tiny was rescued by one of our volunteers from a human homeless encampment, and watching her blossom into this confident, playful little kitten is pretty remarkable. Whatever her start in life looked like, Tiny has clearly decided that her future is going to be fun.
She would fit beautifully into just about any home dynamic. A family, a couple, a single person, a home with other cats or a home with a friendly dog. Tiny isn't looking for a particular lifestyle. She just wants people and animals to love, things to explore and a whole lot of life to experience.
She may be tiny enough to fit almost anywhere, but we're pretty sure she'll find a way to take up an enormous amount of space in your heart.
Tiny: approximately 50% kitten by size, 100% kitten by energy, and approximately 900% confidence.
All kittens have all been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350 for the pair or $200 per kitten.

15. Max

Kitten · Male · Tabby (short coat) · 10 mi from Hemet

Adoption Fee: $200
Who abandons a kitten like THIS?
Seriously.
We have questions.
Because Max is the kind of kitten who thinks every human is his new best friend, every lap was specifically invented for him, and every room in your house deserves a thorough daily inspection.
At just 4 months old, Max was abandoned at a cat colony in the Bay Area. Thankfully, one of our incredible DPS cat fosters stepped in and welcomed him into his home. (This foster currently has two other DPS foster kitties and is basically the Cat Whisperer.) It didn't take long for Max to settle in and prove exactly who he is.
Spoiler alert...
He's awesome.
Max is one of those rare kittens who genuinely wants to be wherever his people are.

Read more about Max

If you're sitting down, congratulations... you've just been selected as today's lap. If you're walking around the house, he'll happily escort you from room to room, offering running commentary because this little guy has thoughts, and he feels it's only fair that you hear them.
He's the kind of kitten who greets you at the door like you've been gone for six months instead of six minutes.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I HAVE IMPORTANT KITTEN BUSINESS TO DISCUSS."
Our foster describes Max as incredibly loving, affectionate, and social. He's curious about absolutely everything. Cabinet door opens? Inspection time. Grocery bag on the floor? Better investigate. Laundry basket? Obviously built for kittens.
Trying to make the bed?
Max is here to help.
Trying to fold laundry?
He'll make sure every sock receives a proper quality-control inspection.
Working on your laptop?
Perfect. He was hoping you had a warm place for him to nap.
Max also gets along beautifully with the other foster kitties. Whether it's a wrestling match, a game of chase, or a synchronized afternoon nap in a sunny window, he's always happy to join in. Because he's such a confident, friendly little guy, we think he'd do wonderfully in a home with other cats and would likely fit right in with respectful dogs and children, too.
The best part about Max isn't that he's playful.
It isn't that he's adorable.
It isn't even that he's hilariously nosy.
It's that he genuinely loves being with his humans.
He's not looking for a house where someone occasionally remembers to feed him.
He's looking for a family to do life with.
Morning coffee? He's there.
Movie night? He's already claimed a spot on your lap.
Making dinner? He's supervising from a safe distance... mostly to ensure you don't accidentally drop any chicken.
If you're searching for a kitten who will make your home feel happier, your couch feel cozier, and your daily routine a whole lot more entertaining, Max may have the most ordinary name in the world...
But there is absolutely nothing ordinary about this little guy.

Kitten · Male · Tabby (short coat) · 10 mi from Hemet

Warning: Your House Will Never Be the Same
At just 5 months old, the Peninsula Litter has already mastered the art of being kittens. Some kittens spend their days quietly napping in a sunbeam. These are not those kittens.
The Peninsula Litter believes every shoelace is a snake that must be defeated. Every cardboard box is a luxury condo. Every paper bag is an amusement park. They can turn a crumpled receipt into a 30-minute sporting event, race through the house at warp speed for absolutely no reason, then collapse in a tiny pile as if they have just completed an Olympic marathon.
Five minutes later, they do it all again.
If you've ever laughed while a kitten proudly carried a toy twice their size through the house at 2:00 a.m., found yourself applauding an impossible leap from the couch to the cat tree, or wondered why there was suddenly a kitten hanging halfway out of a laundry basket, you already understand the magic of this age.
These four siblings—Mateo, Foster, Carlos, and Clara—are exactly what kittens should be: curious, fearless, playful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining.
They've been raised in loving foster homes where they've been well socialized from the very beginning.

Read more about Peninsula

They've been exposed to dogs and other cats and would do wonderfully in a home with respectful children. They're confident little explorers who settle in quickly because people have always been part of their world.
Whether you live in a downtown apartment, a cozy condo, or a house with room to roam, these kittens aren't looking for square footage. They're looking for someone who will laugh when they steal a sock, smile when they chase invisible "monsters" across the living room, and happily make room for a warm little body curled up beside them at the end of the day.
Picture coming home from work and being greeted by tiny paws racing to the door. Imagine making your morning coffee while a curious kitten supervises from the nearest chair. Picture movie nights with a purring kitten asleep in your lap, or lazy Sunday mornings when the biggest decision is whether to chase a toy mouse or curl up in a sunny window for a nap. Before long, you'll wonder how your home ever felt complete without them.
Because kittens almost always do better with another playful feline companion, we'd especially love to see two of these siblings continue growing up together.
Mateo and Foster are the very best of friends. They currently live together, play together, wrestle together, and often end the day curled up side by side. We'd absolutely love to see them continue their adventures in the same home.
Carlos and Clara are another wonderful pair we'd love to see adopted together as they live together now. They complement each other beautifully and make a fantastic duo.
These pairings are not requirements, and we'll always choose the home that is the best fit for each kitten. However, if we have two equally qualified applicants and one family is interested in adopting one of these pairs together, that family will receive priority.
If you're looking for laughter, companionship, endless entertainment, and tiny best friends who will quickly become cherished members of your family, the Peninsula Litter is ready to fill your home with love, purrs, and just the right amount of kitten mischief. We can't wait for you to meet them.They have all been spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350 for the pair or $200 per kitten.

Whether you live in a downtown apartment, a cozy condo, or a house with room to roam, these kittens aren't looking for square footage. They're looking for someone who will laugh when they steal a sock, smile when they chase invisible "monsters" across the living room, and happily make room for a warm little body curled up beside them at the end of the day.
Picture coming home from work and being greeted by tiny paws racing to the door. Imagine making your morning coffee while a curious kitten supervises from the nearest chair. Picture movie nights with a purring kitten asleep in your lap, or lazy Sunday mornings when the biggest decision is whether to chase a toy mouse or curl up in a sunny window for a nap. Before long, you'll wonder how your home ever felt complete without them.
Because kittens almost always do better with another playful feline companion, we'd especially love to see two of these siblings continue growing up together.
Mateo and Foster are the very best of friends. They currently live together, play together, wrestle together, and often end the day curled up side by side. We'd absolutely love to see them continue their adventures in the same home.
Carlos and Clara are another wonderful pair we'd love to see adopted together as they live together now. They complement each other beautifully and make a fantastic duo.
These pairings are not requirements, and we'll always choose the home that is the best fit for each kitten. However, if we have two equally qualified applicants and one family is interested in adopting one of these pairs together, that family will receive priority.
If you're looking for laughter, companionship, endless entertainment, and tiny best friends who will quickly become cherished members of your family, the Peninsula Litter is ready to fill your home with love, purrs, and just the right amount of kitten mischief. We can't wait for you to meet them.They have all been spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350 for the pair or $200 per kitten.

18. Peninsula

Kitten · Male · Turkish Van (short coat) · 10 mi from Hemet

Warning: Your House Will Never Be the Same
At just 5 months old, the Peninsula Litter has already mastered the art of being kittens. Some kittens spend their days quietly napping in a sunbeam. These are not those kittens.
The Peninsula Litter believes every shoelace is a snake that must be defeated. Every cardboard box is a luxury condo. Every paper bag is an amusement park. They can turn a crumpled receipt into a 30-minute sporting event, race through the house at warp speed for absolutely no reason, then collapse in a tiny pile as if they have just completed an Olympic marathon.
Five minutes later, they do it all again.
If you've ever laughed while a kitten proudly carried a toy twice their size through the house at 2:00 a.m., found yourself applauding an impossible leap from the couch to the cat tree, or wondered why there was suddenly a kitten hanging halfway out of a laundry basket, you already understand the magic of this age.
These four siblings—Mateo, Foster, Carlos, and Clara—are exactly what kittens should be: curious, fearless, playful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining.
They've been raised in loving foster homes where they've been well socialized from the very beginning.

New people? Wonderful. Other cats? Let's play! A cozy lap? Don't mind if I do.
One of Stiles' favorite things in the world is being held. Scoop him up, and he'll happily reward you with loud purrs, cuddles, and the contented look of a cat who's convinced he's exactly where he belongs.
Of course, sitting still only lasts so long.
After all...
He's eight months old.
There are toys that need chasing.
Feather wands that clearly require his full attention.
Invisible monsters hiding under rugs that only he can detect.
Life is busy when you're Stiles.
His foster family says he absolutely loves playing with the other cats in the home, making him an ideal companion for a resident kitty who's been wishing for a playful new best friend. Wrestling matches, games of chase, and afternoon zoomies are all high on his list of favorite activities.
When playtime finally winds down, Stiles is more than happy to trade adventure for affection. He's wonderfully balanced—active enough to keep life entertaining but affectionate enough that you'll often find him curled up nearby when the excitement is over.
Stiles also has the kind of adaptable personality that fits beautifully into many different homes. He should do well with another cat, a cat-savvy dog, or respectful children. His easygoing nature and friendly attitude make him the kind of cat who seems to settle in wherever love is waiting.
If Stiles could write his own wish list, it would include:
A tall cat tree for climbing.
A basket overflowing with toys.
Another playful cat would be a bonus.
Plenty of people willing to hold him.
And a family that appreciates equal parts laughter, cuddles, and kitten antics.
Imagine walking through your front door and being greeted by one happy young cat who's genuinely thrilled you've come home.
Imagine laughing as he races through the house after a feather wand with complete determination before flopping into your lap for a well-earned cuddle.
Imagine years of stories that all begin with, "You won't believe what Stiles did today..."
Some cats become pets.
Stiles becomes the life of the party.
He brings energy without chaos, affection without hesitation, and enough personality to make every day a little brighter.
Stiles has been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $150.
If you're looking for a playful, affectionate young cat who's ready to fill your home with laughter, love, and nonstop entertainment, Stiles is waiting to meet you.

Every toy deserves investigating. Every cardboard box hides a mystery. Every sunbeam is the perfect place to stretch out after a busy day of exploring.
Her foster family quickly discovered that Luna approaches life with equal parts curiosity and confidence. She's independent enough to entertain herself, smart enough to figure things out on her own, and affectionate enough to remind you that no adventure is complete without a cuddle at the end.
One minute she's chasing a toy across the room like she's on an important mission...
The next she's climbing into your lap, purring as though she's been there all along.
It's the perfect combination.
Luna has that wonderful kitten energy that keeps life exciting without ever feeling overwhelming. She loves to play, explore, climb, and investigate, but she's also perfectly happy curling up beside her favorite people once the day's adventures are over.
She has been fostered with cats, dogs, and children, and has proven to be wonderfully adaptable. Whether she's making feline friends, confidently greeting a cat-savvy dog, or entertaining the kids with her playful antics, Luna seems to fit wherever love is waiting.
Of course, every little explorer has a wish list.
A tall cat tree for climbing and surveying her kingdom.
A basket overflowing with toys.
A cozy bed for afternoon naps.
A sunny window where she can keep watch over birds, butterflies, and whatever other important neighborhood business requires her attention.
And, most importantly...
A family to call her own.
Luna's nickname may be "Baby Bobcat," but don't let her wild good looks fool you.
Beneath that striking coat is a gentle little heart that simply wants to love and be loved.
She's brave enough to explore new places.
Smart enough to keep you laughing.
Sweet enough to melt into your lap after a long day.
And beautiful enough that you'll find yourself stopping every now and then just to admire her.

Luna lights up your world.

Adopting a kitten in Hemet

Kittens usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're eating on their own and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Think about adopting two. Kittens raised together play with each other instead of your ankles and furniture, and many rescues charge less for a pair.

Kittens need more of your time than grown cats: several small meals a day, plenty of play, and a home with cords and small objects tidied away.
