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.
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. This handsome boy has places to go, things to investigate, and important work to supervise, especially when his favorite humans are trying to get things done. 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.

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.

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.

His affectionate nature makes him a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates a kitten who wants to participate in just about everything.

After all, a dedicated companion needs to make sure everything is starting the day properly!
His affectionate personality makes MOCHA TRUFFLE a true lovebug who would thrive with a family ready to give him plenty of companionship, attention, playtime, and snuggles.

Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 83 mi from Indio


I am currently available for adoption from my foster home. If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an application on our website www.carmaoc.org
Hi! I’m Tucson and I’m the definition of cheerful charm. I’m a mostly white kitten with a small dark patch that adds a dash of character. I’m known for my long, sound naps, yet when I’m awake, life becomes a comedy routine. I’m easily trusting, eager for friendship and happiest when batting at toys on strings. My gentle, good-natured personality makes me approachable and easy to bond with. I offer a sweet mix of amusement and affection, the kind of kitten who makes people smile just by being myself.

Beyond my nap and play routine, I find a way of making myself endearing. I’ll flop onto my side, stretch my tiny legs, and look up with quiet trust. My comical side comes out unexpectedly like when I tumbles mid-pounce or pause mid-groom as though I’ve forgotten what I was doing; yet I’m never frazzled, I just calmly continue as if that was exactly what I meant to do. My welcoming nature makes me the type of kitten that’s just happy just to be here with you. I’m the kind of cat who builds quiet joy into everyday moments. I’m an easy kitty to love.
My adoption fee is $175. That includes spay/neuter, microchip, FIV/FeLV combo test, current vaccines and health check.

26. Sedona
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 83 mi from Indio


I am currently available for adoption from my foster home. If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an application on our website www.carmaoc.org
Hi! I’m Sedona and I’m the little thinker of the group, an exceptionally intelligent kitten who seems to be several steps ahead of my brothers. I am observant, curious, and remarkably quick to learn, often being the first to figure out something new. I was the first to master the litter box, the first to discover the cat fountain, and the first to confidently explore new toys and experiences. Give me a new challenge and I’m likely to have it figured out before everyone else has even realized there is something to figure out! I’m also dog-friendly and very easy to handle.
Read more about Sedona
I may not be the kitten who immediately launches myself into your lap demanding attention, but that is not because I’m unfriendly, I am simply more discerning about when and how I give my affection. I am remarkably aware of human intentions and can often tell when someone is trying to pick me up or move me. Catching me can be the challenging part because I know exactly what you are up to! Once I’m in your arms, however, I am incredibly gentle and cooperative. I do not swat, bite, or fight you, and I allow myself to be handled, picked up, and cared for with surprising ease. And when I finally choose to spend time with you, it feels like you have won the kitten lottery. My affection is not something I give away indiscriminately, which makes those moments when I seek you out or settle comfortably in your arms feel incredibly special. I have a sweet, gentle side that shines once I trust you, and earning that trust is part of what makes me so rewarding to know.
My adoption fee is $175. That includes spay/neuter, microchip, FIV/FeLV combo test, current vaccines and health check.

Adopting a kitten in Indio
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.
