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.
TERRY LUCA was found in a lady's back yard in San Jacinto, California. Her dogs kept chasing them out. She ended up catching him and what we think are his sons (OFFICER VICTOR TAN, SERGEANT DONOVAN ROCKER and SERGEANT DAVID "DEACON" KAY).
The lady had seen that he would come around and she would feed. When we trapped him, he was not chipped, was not fixed and he had absences ever where including in his private area. The rescue mama held him to find if he had a family and give him a chance to heal. No one claimed him. And while he was recuperating, he became such a sweet guy. Now he's ready for his FUREVER home!!
Meet TERRY LUCA, a young feline who embodies a perfect blend of sweetness and independence. His curious nature keeps him exploring, while his gentle, mellow demeanor makes him a great companion. He's a smart, loyal, and brave cat who, despite his shy side, loves to engage in goofy antics that are sure to make you laugh. TERRY LUCA is also quite the talker, always ready to share his thoughts in the most endearing manner. Mostly when your getting his wet food ready.
His large size only adds to his charm, making him a delightful presence. But what sets TERRY LUCA apart is his ability to bring joy and laughter into any home. He's not just a cat, but a friend who will always be there for you. Adopt TERRY LUCA, and let him fill your home with his unique blend of love and fun.
TERRY LUCA is MAINECOON / DOMESTIC LONG HAIR. He is about 3 years 4 months old and is good with cats. He has never been around young children. He has never lived with dogs (that we are aware of) but he seems non-reactive when they have been close to the kennels at Petsmart.
TERRY LUCA is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California.

MAY 2024: VOLUNTEERS are the only ones allowed to let you meet the kitty. Not PETSMART employees.
Volunteers are usually at PetSmart between 9 am to 1 pm for cleaning. The cats currently at PETSMART you are allowed to go visit. A good time to come visit is between 4 pm - 9 pm. The VOLUNTEERS are only there in the evening for 3 hours so please call the PetSmart location, email us, or visit the cattery for VISITING HOURS. Most days are different 3-hour shifts. It's based on volunteer availability.
******************* If you call the PETSMART location, please ask them to physically check the cattery door for the current week's VISITING HOURS. ******************
The kitties at a foster/rescue homes, we will accommodate as much as possible. But steps 1-6 of the ADOPTION PROCESS need to be done before we do OFFICIAL MEET & GREETS. It is easier to do the meet and greets at the locations listed below.
PETSMART
in Murrieta, California off Madison Avenue
in Hemet, California off Florida Avenue
in Palm Desert, California off Monterey Avenue
or any PETSMART near you!
The crazy rescue mama will drive kitties to their new home, meet & greets, etc...once the phone interview and home check have been done. Gas donations always appreciated!
************* Please no calls to the rescue. No one available to take calls. *************
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.
TERRY LUCA is ALREADY fully vetted.
The adoption fee of $300 covers:
Neuter
FVRCP shots
RABIES shot
FELV/FIV test (Negative/Negative)
Drontal Dewormer
Stronghold Flea Control
Microchip
We are NOT a government FUNDED shelter and all our donations and adoption fees are for our rescued cats/kittens. So, we do not do DISCOUNTS.
If for some unfortunate reason you missed out on the kitten/cat you emailed about...I'm sure that we could help you with another rescue baby! Just ask!
