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.


DINGO, his mom BALALAIKA and his 5 siblings (BEACON - CLARA - ALLIE - EDNA - FINNIE) were saved by the rescue mama's son in Lynwood, California. Her son found out thru a friend that there was a mama cat with six kittens that were lining in a bad neighborhood. The mama cat had a hugeeee gash on her face, Needless to say, they went into action.


Her son was able to trap mom and the kittens were scooped up. She was rushed to the vet and is currently learning to adapt to indoor life. All her kittens are now healthy, social and ready for homes!


Meet DINGO, a playful Bombay kitten from Lynwood, California, whose sleek, shiny black coat and bright, curious eyes make him the center of attention in any room. DINGO is the definition of a little explorer—his days are filled with playful mischief and boundless curiosity. Whether he’s chasing a feather toy, peeking under furniture for hidden treasures, or swatting at a sunbeam, DINGO is always on the move, ready to discover something new.


But don’t let his energy fool you—DINGO has a soft, affectionate side, too. When the day's adventures wind down, this lovable kitten transforms into a snuggle bug. He adores gentle pets and will happily curl up in your lap, purring contentedly as you stroke his silky fur. There's nothing he enjoys more than feeling the warmth of a caring hand or cozying up for a nap with his favorite human. He’s the perfect mix of playful and affectionate, making him a wonderful companion for someone who wants a kitten that loves interaction.


Bombay cats are known for their friendly and outgoing nature, and DINGO is no exception. He’s not just curious about his surroundings, he’s curious about people, too! Always eager to be where the action is, DINGO will follow you around, watching your every move with wide, inquisitive eyes. He’s great with other cats, and his friendly disposition suggests he might get along well with other pets, too, especially with proper introductions.


At just six months old, DINGO is at the perfect age to bond with a new family. He’s still learning about the world and would thrive in a home that can offer plenty of attention and playtime. With his sweet nature and endless enthusiasm, Dingo is sure to bring a lot of joy and laughter into the lives of his future family.


Are you ready to make memories with this lovable little explorer? Go to our website today and fill out the ONLINE application and let DINGO light up your life!


DINGO is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / BOMBAY MIX. He is about 7 months old. He has lived with cats but needs proper introduction. He has never lived with dogs or been around children.

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.


DINGO 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!
