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.
SNICKERDOODLE and his siblings (AMARETTI, 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 SNICKERDOODLE, a young buff tabby boy from Murrieta, California, whose tiny beginnings have grown into a BIG personality packed with energy, curiosity, and plenty of silly kitten antics. SNICKERDOODLE arrived with his mama and four siblings after they were left together in a carrier on a kind lady’s doorstep. He was the little runt of the litter, but with some extra love and encouragement from his foster mom, this determined little guy quickly caught up with his siblings.
Today, SNICKERDOODLE is anything but slow! He has transformed into the busiest boy around, and if there is something happening, you can be pretty sure he is right in the middle of it. Running, pouncing, chasing, climbing, and playing are all important parts of his daily schedule. He seems to have an endless supply of kitten energy and is always ready to turn just about anything into an exciting new adventure.
SNICKERDOODLE also knows how to make sure he never misses an important event, especially when treats are involved. He is always the first one in line for snack time, eagerly waiting to see what tasty surprise might be coming his way. His enthusiasm is absolutely contagious, and his silly antics are sure to bring plenty of laughter to the family lucky enough to welcome him.
Although he started life as the smallest of his siblings, SNICKERDOODLE has certainly made up for it with his big personality. He is an active, playful kitten who would love a family ready to embrace his busy nature and provide plenty of toys, enrichment, and opportunities for play. Watching him zoom around and invent his next adventure is sure to become one of the highlights of your day.
This handsome buff tabby boy is ready to fill his next chapter with fun, games, tasty treats, and a loving family who appreciates a kitten with personality to spare.

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.
With her luxurious long hair, beautiful Torbie coloring, and Maine Coon charm, AMARETTI is certainly easy on the eyes, but her personality is what makes her truly special. She can bring laughter with her playful antics, warmth with her snuggles, and plenty of companionship as she grows into the confident young cat she is becoming.
AMARETTI would thrive with a loving family who will continue nurturing her social nature, provide plenty of playtime and enrichment, and enjoy all the little quirks that make her uniquely AMARETTI She is ready to fill her next chapter with toys to chase, cozy places to cuddle, and people to love.
To learn more about adopting AMARETTI, please apply at Workinwhiskers.com. Could this beautiful Torbie girl be the playful and affectionate companion you've been hoping to welcome into your family?

He is incredibly affectionate, purrs nonstop, loves being close, and his paws are always stretching and making biscuits…he is a happy lovable fellow. Mister is the kind of cat who bonds deeply and will happily stick to his person like super glue.
His story started in our alley, where he kept crying for attention and trying to follow us through the gate. We’d say, “Hey, Mister… what are we going to do with you?” — and the name stuck.

We soon realized he wasn’t asking to be a community cat at all. He was asking to come inside.

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.
ALADDIN and several feline family members were saved from a horrific hoarding case in Riverside, California. We know they are all related because the horrible human woman, kept letting them mate. When the Rescue Mama found out she took action.
As of AUGUST 2026, 100 cats have either gone to other rescues or have been saved by us. You will know who these cats are by their names. They have all been named after the show "Once Upon A Time". Aside from the necklaces the kitties wear i in their professional pictures, Rescue Mama names her rescue cats after shows she watches.
Meet ALADDIN, a majestic adult Tuxedo Maine Coon from Riverside, California, whose gentle spirit shines as brightly as his striking black and white coat. Weighing a healthy 18 pounds, this handsome boy has blossomed into a sweet and affectionate companion who adores every moment of attention he receives. ALADDIN came through an incredibly difficult chapter early in life, but today he radiates warmth, trust, and quiet confidence that instantly draws people close.
ALADDIN is the kind of cat who believes cuddles are an essential part of every day. He loves being carried through the house like royalty, happily soaking up kisses, soft conversations, and cozy snuggle sessions. If you sit down, there is a good chance ALADDIN will gently settle beside you, purring contentedly while enjoying pets and affection. His calm personality makes him a comforting presence, and his loving nature creates an immediate bond with everyone lucky enough to meet him.
This charming Maine Coon is managing FIV and FeLV with supportive supplements and attentive care, and he continues to thrive while enjoying life to the fullest. ALADDIN approaches each day with sweetness, curiosity, and appreciation for the comfort surrounding him. He would do well in a caring environment where he can relax, feel safe, and continue being treated like the cherished king he truly is.
Like many Maine Coons, ALADDIN has a larger than life personality wrapped inside a fluffy, elegant package. He enjoys attention, companionship, and peaceful moments shared with the people around him. Whether he is lounging proudly in a sunny window or following his favorite humans from room to room, Aladdin brings a calming and joyful energy wherever he goes.
ALADDIN is ready to find a loving home filled with affection, patience, and plenty of cuddles. For more information about welcoming this sweet boy into your family, please apply at Workinwhiskers.com. Could ALADDIN be the royal companion your heart has been waiting for?
ALADDIN is an DOMESTIC LONG HAIR / TUXEDO MAINECOON MIX. He is about 5 years and 3 months old. ALADDIN needs to be an only cat. He has never been around children or dogs but we believe he would do great with dogs.

Caring for a long-haired cat
Long coats need regular grooming: brushing a few times a week, and every day when they shed in spring, stops knots and mats from forming and cuts down on hairballs.
Get them used to it gently, with short sessions and a treat afterward. A wide-toothed comb and a soft slicker brush handle most coats.
