PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BELOW. IT WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. If you still have questions after, we are happy to respond through email.
It is a long read and a long adoption process. Please understand we are ensuring that our babies go to great homes and we don't know you personally (yet). Understand that this is an adoption of a beautiful little soul that deserves the absolute best life.
The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. So don't let that discourage you from adopting an adult cat! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old.
MJ and her sisters (FRANKIE and HARPER) were found in a backyard. The nice lady who had been taking care of the feral mama cat was trying to trap her and bring her inside with her kittens. Once the babies were old enough to leave mama, the kind lady took mama and got her fixed. Mama is now part of her family. Kittens came to us and now they're ready to get their new forever home! Now poor MJ has grown up in our rescue.
Meet MJ, a lovable three-year-old feline who embodies the perfect blend of playful curiosity and gentle affection. Her sleek coat, paired with her watchful gaze, tells the story of a kitty who's always on the lookout for her next favorite toy or cozy box to curl up in. Though MJ might be a little shy at first, give her some time and the magic of her personality will shine through.
Found as a kitten in a backyard, MJ has blossomed into a friendly companion who knows how to enjoy life's simple pleasures. One of her great loves is CHURU, a creamy and irresistible treat that brings out her enthusiastic side. Just watch her face light up when you offer her a taste! It's the perfect icebreaker to help her feel comfortable and appreciated in her new home.
When it comes to playtime, MJ is a champion. She can spend hours swatting at her favorite toys or investigating a new box that’s become the latest stage for her playful antics. Boxes, big or small, are her kingdom where she reigns supreme. Whether it's curling up for a nap or plotting her next playful pounce, MJ makes every nook her throne.
Her playful yet gentle nature means she's the ideal companion for anyone looking for a bit of extra joy in their life. Once she's warmed up to you, you'll find MJ to be a devoted friend who's always ready for a good cuddle or a round of playtime. With her blend of curiosity and sweetness, MJ will be your loyal confidante, bringing laughter and warmth into your home.
Are you prepared to share your life with a kitty who’s got a heart as full as her playful spirit? MJ is waiting to meet someone who can offer her a cozy, loving environment where she can thrive. If you're ready to open your home to this delightful cat, reach out to us. Could MJ be your perfect match?
MJ is DSH / TUXEDO MIX. She is about 3 years old and 3 months. She is good with cats and very curious about dogs. She has never been around small children.

If the CAT/KITTEN is still listed (meaning here or other websites) they are still available. It does not mean they don't have other pending applications or meet and greets.
Please note: Just because you fill out an application and are approved does not obligate you to adopt the cat/kitten. If he or she is not a fit...we have plenty of other cats / kittens available for adoption.
We are a SMALL rescue based out of Hemet, California. We are all volunteers that run the rescue. If we haven't reached out....be patient.
