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!
DOC HOLIDAY and his brother XAVIER DOLLS (named after the show WYNONNA EARP) were living in a tough neighborhood in Fontana, California. These poor boys were residing in an isolated area and had taken shelter in an abandoned warehouse. The kind family living nearby knew about their situation and would provide them with food. Unfortunately, they discovered that the warehouse was going to be demolished, leaving the boys with no place to live. So they cam to us and now he's ready to be adopted!
Meet DOC HOLIDAY, a magnificent Maine Coon with a mysterious past. This dashing feline, estimated to be around a little over 2 years old, once roamed the streets with his brother XAVIER DOLLS, Now he's ready to find his forever home. DOC HOLIDAY's luscious coat, resembling the rich hues of autumn leaves, hints at the wild beauty within him. Though initially shy and timid, DOC HOLIDAY has a heart full of warmth just waiting to blossom.
He's learned to tolerate gentle pets and quiet affection, slowly revealing glimpses of his true gentle nature. With patience and understanding, DOC HOLIDAY has the potential to become the loyal companion you've always dreamed of. Are you ready to open your heart and home to this enigmatic feline friend?
DOC HOLIDAY is DOMESTIC LONG HAIR / MAINECOON-TABBY MIX. He is about 2 years 4 months old and is good with cats. He is really good with his brother XAVIER DOLLS. And we would love to see them go home together. He has never been around kids or dogs.
DOC HOLIDAY is currently at a foster home in San Diego, California.

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.
