1. Dallas and Vegas

Adult · Male · Tabby (short coat) · 4 mi from Menifee

Meet Dallas & Vegas! Double the love, double the purrs!
Some bonds are simply unbreakable, and Dallas and Vegas are the perfect example! These handsome 9 year old brothers have spent their entire lives together, and they wouldn’t want it any other way. Now, they’re looking for a loving forever home where they can enjoy their golden years side by side, surrounded by comfort, affection, and plenty of love. Now they might be 9 years old but they do not act like older cats. They still have so much life left and love to run around playing with toys and chasing each other through the house as if they were spry adolescents.
Dallas (brown tabby) is a sweet, affectionate boy who just needs a little time to feel comfortable with new people.

Read more about Dallas and Vegas

He may be a bit reserved at first, but give him about 24 hours to settle in, and you’ll soon have a purring lap cat who is happy to soak up your attention! Dallas takes comfort in his brother Vegas and looks to him for confidence when meeting new people. These two are so connected that Dallas will even call out for his brother if he can’t find him. His loving personality is absolutely worth the little bit of patience it takes to win his heart.
Vegas (grey/white) is the outgoing charmer of the duo! This total lovebug adores human attention and isn’t shy about asking for it. He’ll happily headbutt your hand or leg to remind you that it’s time for pets, and head and chin scratches are definitely the way to his heart. Vegas is also a big fan of mealtime and enjoys his food a little too much! He’s carrying a little extra weight and could benefit from losing a pound or two to help keep him healthy. With some portion control and a balanced diet, he’ll be on the right track!
Dallas and Vegas have lived with other cats and dogs and tend to be pretty indifferent to their furry housemates. With slow, thoughtful introductions, they may be able to share their home with other pets. Their most important relationship, however, is with each other. They are a truly bonded pair and must be adopted together.
At 9 years old, these boys have so much love left to give. They’re past the kitten chaos and ready to settle into a peaceful home where they can enjoy cozy naps, full bellies, gentle affection, and the comfort of always having their favorite companion nearby.
Could you be the forever home Dallas & Vegas have been waiting for? If you have room in your heart for two sweet adorable gentlemen, these brothers would love to meet you!

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.

Read more about 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! 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. 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.

WAYLON also gets along very well with other cats, making him a wonderful candidate for a family with friendly feline companions. With his social nature and love of play, he can bring extra fun and companionship to a cat-friendly home.

To learn more about adopting WAYLON, please apply on Workinwhiskers.com. Are you ready to welcome this curious little adventurer, professional homework supervisor, and champion lap cuddler into your family?

Meet ELI, an adventurous Egyptian Mau tabby kitten from Beaumont, California, whose curious mind, playful spirit, and affectionate personality make him a little bundle of fun with four paws and a whole lot of charm. This handsome boy is always ready to investigate something new, launch into a game, or find the nearest human who might be available for a cuddle. With ELI around, everyday life is sure to include plenty of laughter, surprises, and sweet kitten moments.

Eli’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 and discover the joys of feeling safe and cared for. Now ELI is ready to begin his next adventure with a family who will appreciate his lively personality and affectionate heart.

This boy is wonderfully adventurous and endlessly curious. He loves exploring his surroundings and investigating whatever catches his attention. If something interesting is happening, you can bet ELI wants to be part of it! He is very playful and enjoys opportunities to chase toys, pounce, leap, and show off his impressive kitten acrobatics. His enthusiasm for life is contagious, and he has a special talent for turning ordinary moments into entertaining little adventures.

But ELI is not all action and exploration. He is also a cuddly sweetheart who loves being held and has a charming habit of jumping right onto you when he wants to be involved. Apparently, personal space is optional when there are hugs and attention to be enjoyed! His affectionate nature makes him a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates a kitten who wants to participate in just about everything.

ELI shares a particularly sweet bond with his twin sister, ELIZABETH. These two look remarkably alike and get along beautifully, making their connection extra special. Their playful companionship is lovely to see, and they would bring plenty of fun to a family that enjoys watching kittens grow and explore together.

ELI is ready to fill his next chapter with playtime, cuddles, and exciting discoveries. To learn more about adopting ELI, please apply at Workinwhiskers.com. Could this affectionate little tabby be the snuggly new companion who brings extra warmth and happiness into your life?

Meet ELIZABETH, a sweet Egyptian Mau tabby kitten from Beaumont, California, whose affectionate heart and gentle personality make her a little bundle of love wrapped in a beautiful tabby coat. This darling girl has mastered the art of making people smile, and if you are looking for a kitten who loves cuddles, enjoys being held, and happily soaks up attention, ELIZABETH may be just the girl you have been dreaming of!

ELIZABETH's story began outdoors, where she was found alongside her mama, ESSIE, and her siblings, ELI and WAYLON. Their little family needed help, and a kind neighbor stepped in to bring them to safety and provide a loving foster home. Now ELIZABETH has the opportunity to grow, play, and share her wonderfully affectionate personality with a family of her own.

This girl is all about love! ELIZABETH is friendly, sweet, and wonderfully snuggly. She loves being petted and held, and she is happy to enjoy those special moments when she can be close to her favorite people. Whether you are settling in for a relaxing evening or taking a break from a busy day, ELIZABETH would love to be part of it. Her affectionate nature makes her a delightful companion who can turn an ordinary moment into something special with a little purring, cuddling, and kitten sweetness.

ELIZABETH also has a fun little family resemblance worth mentioning. She and her sibling ELI look remarkably alike, so you might need to take a second look to tell these two apart! Fortunately, ELIZABETH has her own unmistakable charm, especially when she is leaning into a gentle pet or happily enjoying a cuddle.

Another wonderful quality about ELIZABETH is that she loves dogs. Her comfort around canine companions could make her a lovely addition to a family with a friendly, cat-compatible dog, provided introductions are thoughtful and gradual.

ELIZABETH is ready to fill her next chapter with cozy snuggles, playful kitten adventures, and plenty of affection. She needs a loving family who will cherish her sweet personality and give her opportunities to keep growing into the wonderful companion she is becoming.

6. Daisy & Minnie

Female · Russian Blue / Bombay (short coat) · 4 mi from Menifee

Every Home needs two special kitties ... Meet Daisy and Minnie!
Some kitties are beautiful on their own.
But every once in a while, you find two that were simply meant to stay side by side.
Daisy and Minnie are 6 month old bonded girls whose personalities complement each other perfectly. They are sweet, gentle, playful, and incredibly loving, and after spending every day of their young lives together, they're looking for a forever family that will let them continue their adventure as a pair.
Think of them as the perfect buddy movie...
One is the outgoing tour guide.
The other is the charming best friend who eventually steals the show.
Together?
They're absolutely irresistible.
Daisy: The Social Butterfly
This beautiful Russian Blue mix believes laps were invented specifically for cats.
If you sit down...
Congratulations.
You've just volunteered.
She adores people and happily accepts head scratches, cuddles, and afternoon naps curled up beside her favorite humans.

Read more about Daisy & Minnie

She's wonderfully confident, affectionate, and has the kind of personality that makes visitors immediately ask, "Can I pet her?"
Her beautiful coat only adds to her charm. She's absolutely stunning—but she has no idea. She's far too busy making friends.
Minnie: The Bombay Beauty
She is a goofball who is always up to a new acrobatic feat.
Do you have a cat tree?
Minnie is at the top, lounging in the sun, usually with one leg dangling off.
Do you have toys?
She is bouncing around the house with them in her mouth.
Often dropping them at your feet to entice you into a game of fetch.
Better Together
These girls truly bring out the best in one another.
They wrestle.
They chase toys.
They curl up together for naps.
They groom one another.
And after a busy day of kitten adventures, you'll often find them sleeping nose-to-nose, looking like two peas in a pod.
Their bond is beautiful to witness and exactly why they're looking for a home together.
Designing Their Dream Home
If Daisy and Minnie could decorate their forever home, their wish list wouldn't be very long.
A tall cat tree where they can survey their kingdom.
A sunny window for bird watching.
A basket overflowing with toys.
A couple of ridiculously soft beds...
...although there's a very good chance they'll choose to sleep together anyway.
Most importantly, they'd love a family that understands some of life's greatest joys come in pairs.
Double the Cats... Double the Love
People sometimes worry that adopting two kittens means twice the work.
Daisy and Minnie would respectfully disagree.
They keep each other entertained.
They comfort each other.
They burn off their zoomies together.
And they ensure neither one is ever lonely.
Instead of one little heart filling your home...
You'll have two.
And somehow, they make each other even sweeter.
Imagine coming home after a long day to find these two sweet girls happily greeting you.
Imagine watching them race up their cat tree, chase one another through the house, then collapse together for a nap as though the Olympics just ended.
Imagine spending years watching their friendship grow while they become part of your family.
Some kitties are simply better together.
Daisy and Minnie are one of those rare pairs.
They have been spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350 for the pair.
If your home has room for twice the purrs, twice the laughter, and a lifetime of love, Daisy and Minnie are ready to capture your heart.

Hudson is a 2 year old handsome tabby with the kind of easygoing personality that makes everyone wonder if he's always lived there.

He would love to be your one and only kitty because he thinks one is all you need.

Especially if he gets to be the one.
You'll often find him stretched out in his favorite cat bed, perched high on his cat tree surveying his kingdom, or curled beside his favorite person enjoying a quiet afternoon together. He's wonderfully affectionate without being demanding and has perfected the art of appearing exactly when someone has an empty lap available.
Movie night?
He's in.
Working from home?
Expect a furry assistant.
Reading a book?
Hudson believes every chapter is improved by a purring companion.
A tall cat tree near a sunny window would be his dream office. Add a basket full of toys, plenty of tasty treats (Temptations are his favorite), and a cozy bed, and Hudson will consider himself one very fortunate cat.
Some cats make you laugh.
Some cats make you smile.
Hudson somehow manages to do both while also making your house feel a little more like home.
He has been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $150.

10. Jolene

Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 16 mi from Menifee

Jolene is a sweet, friendly kitty. She is just a year old and approx.10lbs. She is mostly a calm kitty who loves to cuddle or quietly explore, but she does get excited to play with her wand toy and she sometimes carries her toys around in her mouth to show off what she "caught." She isn't the best hunter though and has never been outside. Since she has been well socialized with other cats and dogs, she needs to remain an indoor kitty because she wouldn't run from strange dogs or coyotes.

Jolene has been dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is FeLV/FIV negative. She is litter box trained. If you're interested in Jolene, please submit an adoption application on our website at www.dominoeffectanimalrescue.org

11. Miki

Adult · Female · Calico (short coat) · 4 mi from Menifee

Sometimes life changes in ways our pets have no say in. Tom and Miki came to DPS after their owner had to move out of the country and was unable to take them along. They have been together since they were kittens, but they do not have to be adopted together. We are happy to place them separately in the right homes, or they can stay together if someone has room in their heart for two.
Tom is a 3 year old Turkish Van mix who is basically a professional people person. He loves his humans and wants to be right where you are, preferably supervising whatever it is you’re doing. Curious, affectionate, and happiest when he’s beside his person, Tom is the kind of cat who wants to be part of the action rather than watching it from across the room.
Miki is Tom’s 3-year-old calico sister, and her markings are absolutely one of a kind.

Read more about Miki

The transition to a new home has been harder on her, so she’s taking her time adjusting. She’s been coming around beautifully in her foster home and has discovered that lounging in her cat tree is a pretty good way to spend the day. She is gentle and sweet with her humans and loves playing with toys.
Miki also has a little hidden talent: she’s a mouser. Both cats are indoor cats, but when an unexpected mouse made its way into their former home, Miki apparently decided she had been hired for pest control. Problem solved.
Tom and Miki would make wonderful companions, together or separately, for the right home. Tom is likely to be your shadow, while Miki may take a little more time to feel completely comfortable—but once she does, you’ll have a sweet, playful girl who knows how to enjoy the good life.
Sometimes the hardest part of rescue is helping animals understand that a change in circumstances doesn’t mean they’ve lost their chance at a happy ending. We think Tom and Miki are both ready for theirs.
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.

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?

14. Cafe Con Leche

Kitten · Female · Bombay / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 4 mi from Menifee

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

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.

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) · 4 mi from Menifee

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.

I’m a gentle, affectionate tortie kitten who absolutely adores being around people. If you’re nearby, I’ll be right there too—whether it’s snuggling on the couch, sitting on your lap, or quietly keeping you company while you go about your day.

I love to play, especially with toys that crinkle or roll, and I get along great with other kittens. But what makes me happiest is being close to someone who loves me. I’m the kind of kitten who looks up at you with soft eyes, purrs the moment you touch me, and settles in like I’ve known you forever.

22. Max

Kitten · Male · Tabby (short coat) · 4 mi from Menifee

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.

23. Peninsula

Kitten · Male · Tabby (short coat) · 4 mi from Menifee

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.

24. Peninsula

Kitten · Female · Dilute Calico (short coat) · 4 mi from Menifee

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.

Meet Bubbles!
Some cats quietly tiptoe into your life.
Bubbles prefers to bounce.
Bubbles is a 2 year old rare orange (ginger) female cat with a personality every bit as bright as her beautiful coat. Female orange cats are uncommon, making Bubbles a bit of a rarity—but it's her joyful, affectionate personality that truly makes her one of a kind. She has never met a stranger, believes everyone is a potential best friend, and approaches life with the kind of cheerful optimism that makes every day feel just a little happier.
If happiness had whiskers...
It would probably look a lot like Bubbles.
She has a wonderful balance of playful energy and affectionate companionship.

Read more about Bubbles

One minute she's happily chasing a toy across the room like she's training for the Kitty Olympics, and the next she's curled up beside you, convinced that your lap was specifically designed for her afternoon nap.
Bubbles is incredibly smart and loves interactive play. She enjoys games that keep both her mind and body busy, and she's always ready to investigate something new. Whether it's batting around a toy mouse, chasing a feather wand, or figuring out the fastest route to your lap, Bubbles approaches everything with enthusiasm and curiosity.
When playtime is over, she transforms into a professional cuddle expert.
Movie night?
She's available.
Working from home?
She'll gladly supervise.
Reading a book?
She believes every good story is better with a cat curled beside you.
Need someone to greet you after work as though you've been gone for six months instead of six hours?
Bubbles has that covered too.
She forms wonderful bonds with her people and genuinely enjoys being involved in everyday life. She's the kind of cat who makes a house feel like home simply by being there.
A tall cat tree by a sunny window would quickly become one of her favorite spots, giving her the perfect place to watch birds, squirrels, and all the important neighborhood happenings. Add a basket overflowing with toys, a few soft beds throughout the house, and plenty of opportunities for snuggles, and you'll have one very happy girl.
While Bubbles would be perfectly content being your one-and-only feline queen, she also has the easygoing personality to fit beautifully into a home with respectful children or a cat-friendly dog. She's social, adaptable, and ready to become part of the family.
The wonderful thing about Bubbles is that she brings joy wherever she goes.
She'll make you laugh during playtime.
She'll keep you company on quiet evenings.
She'll brighten ordinary days simply by being herself.
And before long, you'll wonder how your home ever felt complete without her.

27. Orion

Young · Male · Bombay / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 4 mi from Menifee

Reach for the Stars... Orion Is Waiting.
Some cats dream of climbing to the top of the cat tree.
Orion assumes that's where he belongs.
Named after one of the most recognizable constellations in the night sky, Orion is a 1 year old Bombay mix who seems determined to spend as much time as possible up where the stars live. If there's a bookshelf to conquer, a high windowsill to supervise from, or the very top perch of a cat tree available, you'll probably find Orion there—looking down at his kingdom like the handsome little king he is.
But don't let his lofty ambitions fool you.
This boy is equal parts athlete, comedian, and cuddle bug.
If you've never witnessed feline parkour, Orion would be delighted to provide a live demonstration.
One minute he's quietly watching a toy...
The next he's launching into the air, bouncing off furniture with Olympic-level precision, twisting, turning, and somehow landing perfectly every single time.
We're honestly considering submitting his audition for the next action movie.
His favorite prey?
Wand toys.
Springs.
The occasional bug that accidentally wandered into the house and immediately regretted its life choices.
Nothing escapes Orion's attention when he's in hunting mode.
Of course, every superhero needs downtime.
After a busy day of acrobatics, Orion transforms into an affectionate sweetheart who loves being with his people.

Read more about Orion

One of his favorite little quirks is burrowing under blankets, where he creates his own cozy hideaway before drifting off to sleep. If you ever can't find him, don't panic.
Check under the covers.
There's a very good chance you'll discover one happy little cat tucked in like a burrito.
Orion is wonderfully social and has the kind of easygoing personality that fits beautifully into many different homes.
He would also do well with another friendly cat, a cat-savvy dog, or respectful children. Orion approaches life with confidence, curiosity, and a genuine love for being part of the family.
If Orion could write his own wish list, it would be refreshingly simple:
A tall cat tree.
Very tall.
Maybe taller.
A basket full of wand toys and springs.
A few soft blankets for his famous burrowing sessions.
A sunny window where he can keep an eye on the birds.
And people who occasionally applaud his athletic performances.
(Trust us...they're impressive.)
Imagine laughing as Orion launches into another gravity-defying leap after a feather wand.
Imagine finding a mysterious lump under your comforter, only to discover it's your favorite little blanket-loving buddy.
Imagine looking up at the highest shelf in the room and realizing, once again, Orion somehow got there before you even noticed.
Some cats fill your lap.
Orion fills your home with adventure, laughter, and just a little bit of stardust.
Orion 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 cat who's equal parts acrobat, explorer, comedian, and cuddle companion, Orion is ready to become the brightest star in your home.

28. Tala 2

Adult (2 years 4 months) · Female · Bengal / Tiger / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Menifee

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.

Read more about Tala 2

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

29. Dustin

Young · Male · Tabby (short coat) · 4 mi from Menifee

Meet Dustin!
Dustin is a 1 year old bundle of feline fun with a heart as big as his personality and enough energy to convince you that gravity is merely a suggestion. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to share your home with a tiny comedian, part-time gymnast, and full-time best friend, Dustin is ready to audition for the role.
Some cats gracefully stroll through life.
Dustin prefers to arrive with style.
If there is a toy to chase, he'll catch it.
If there's a cat tree, he'll conquer it.
If there's a feather wand involved...cancel your afternoon plans.
Dustin approaches every day like it's the grand opening of an amusement park, and he's determined to ride every ride twice.
His foster family is convinced he wakes up every morning asking himself, "What can I turn into a game today?"
The answer is...
Pretty much everything.
He's endlessly curious, wonderfully playful, and always looking for his next adventure.

Read more about Dustin

Interactive toys are his absolute favorite, and a tall cat tree would basically be his version of a luxury penthouse. From the top perch, he can keep watch over his kingdom, supervise the humans, and make sure no squirrel gets away with suspicious behavior outside the window.
When playtime finally winds down—and eventually it does—Dustin transforms into an affectionate sweetheart who loves spending time with his people. He enjoys attention, happily accepts pets, and reminds you that behind every goofy kitten is a loving companion who simply wants to be part of the family.
Dustin also has the kind of easygoing personality that makes him a wonderful addition to many homes. He could happily share his life with another playful cat or a cat-savvy dog who understands that every now and then, a spontaneous game of zoomies is simply non-negotiable.
At just one year old, Dustin has his entire life ahead of him. He's left the baby kitten stage behind but still has all the curiosity, fun, and enthusiasm that make young cats so entertaining. He's reached that wonderful age where he's playful enough to keep you laughing but mature enough to start settling into the incredible companion he'll become.
Imagine coming home after a long day and being greeted by a cat who's excited to see you.
Imagine laughing as he invents a brand-new game using nothing more than a paper bag, a toy mouse, and his own imagination.
Imagine spending your evenings with a happy little sidekick curled beside you after a full day of making memories.
Life with Dustin won't be boring.
It'll be filled with laughter, entertainment, and the kind of joyful moments that remind you why cats make our lives so much brighter.
Dustin has been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $150.
If your home could use a little more laughter, a little more fun, and a whole lot more love, Dustin is ready to leap right into your heart.

Stiles Is the Whole Package... and He Knows It.
Some cats are happy to sit quietly in the background.
Stiles has other plans.
Stiles is an 8 month old charmer with movie-star good looks, endless enthusiasm, and a personality that's impossible not to love. He's playful, affectionate, incredibly social, and has never met a lap, a toy, or a new friend he didn't think was worth investigating.

If there were an Olympic event for making friends...

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.

Adopting a cat with children in Menifee

Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.

Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.

Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
