My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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.


ESTRELLADO was saved by an independent rescuer back in late 2017. He was a tiny kitten. Well fast forward to over a year ago, the lady was killed by a drunk driver. We were asked to help with her rescues and to our dismay, her house was a horrific hoarding case. We pulled 55 cats that were still alive. Our rescue took 26 of those cats into out rescue. ESTRELLADO is the second one to be ready for adoption.


Meet ESTRELLADO, a charming seven-year-old tuxedo cat with a heart full of love, who’s ready to find his new forever home! Rescued from a challenging hoarding situation, this sweet boy has blossomed into a delightful companion, eager to share his life with kind-hearted humans.


ESTRELLADO is a true lap cat, always looking for a cozy spot to curl up and snuggle with his favorite people. His striking black and white coat is as captivating as his personality, and he carries an undeniable charm that instantly warms the hearts of everyone he meets. Despite his rough beginnings, he exudes a joyful spirit and is always ready to show affection with gentle purrs and soft head nudges.


Playful at heart, ESTRELLADO loves to engage in fun activities, especially when there’s a cat tree involved! He enjoys climbing, perching, and observing the world from above, all while keeping an eye out for playful antics with his fellow feline friends. While he gets along well with most cats, his friendly disposition makes him adaptable and open to new friendships.


Having lived with dogs before, ESTRELLADO is comfortable sharing his space with canine companions, showcasing his easygoing nature. His love for canned food is an added bonus—he’s always ready to join you in the kitchen for a tasty treat!


With a loving personality that shines through in everything he does, ESTRELLADO is eager to be a part of a caring family. He’s looking for a home where he can continue to feel safe and cherished, and in return, he promises to fill your days with warmth and joy.


Are you ready to welcome ESTRELLADO into your heart and home? This sweet tuxedo boy is ready to share his love and companionship with you. If you think you can provide a cozy lap and a happy home for ESTRELLADO, please visit our website to apply. What adventures will you and ESTRELLADO embark on together?


ESTRELLADO is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TUXEDO MIX. He is 7 years 3 months old. He has lived with cats but needs proper introduction. We think he would do better with a cat friendly dog. He has lived with dogs. He has never been around children.


ESTRELLADO is currently at PETSMART *** 25290 Madison Ave, Murrieta, CA 92562 *** off Madison Avenue.

NOVEMBER 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 5 pm - 8 pm (Monday thru Saturday) and Sunday 4 pm - 7 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


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.


ESTRELLADO is ALREADY fully vetted.
The adoption fee of $200 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!
