Abyssinian kittens & cats in Big Bear Lake, California

Nina was found in the street with deformed eyes, she was blind. A cat rescuer took her to the vet to have her eyes cleaned out and sew them. She has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Loves head scratches and attention, meows to ask for human company. She's a purring machine, not afraid of car rides and is silent during them. Will make biscuits anywhere, so she will need regularly nail trimming. She is potty trained and can find her way around her space quickly. She gets scared if you touch her head directly, since she can't see, try another area first like her back. She is looking for her forever home that understands her needs and can give her the attention she deserves.

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! BASIL was born in a foster's home. Her family came from a horrible situation. There were 10 cats saved. 6 of them were pregnant (one of them being BASIL's mom). They were all living in a yard where they were occasionally allowed in a garage in Moreno Valley, California. Most of the cats were all named after SUPER HEREOS, except BASIL's mom and aunt (ELENORE and MOLLY MOO). It seemed fitting since they were all basically surviving and being fed scrapes, fighting other cats and dogs. They were living off a dangerous street where people were actually poisoning the cats. So BASIL has never known the street life. She has lived a nice pampered life. The two sister moms raised their kittens together so we really don't know if ELENORE or MOLLY MOO is her mom. Our beautiful girl has not lost her love. We got her adopted at 6 months and her family returned her after a year and half because they were "supposably" allergic to her. We were so disappointed that she had to have her heart broken like that. Meet BASIL, a young feline filled with sweetness and curiosity. Her friendly nature makes her the perfect companion for anyone seeking a loyal friend. BASIL's independence means she is comfortable exploring her surroundings, but she always returns for a cuddle or a playful game. Her goofy antics and gentle demeanor will bring laughter and calm to your days. With her smart, energetic spirit, BASIL is always ready for a new adventure. Her funny, playful side will keep you entertained, while her cuddly, loyal personality will make you feel loved. BASIL is more than just a shelter cat; she is a companion, a friend, and a source of endless joy. Adopt BASIL and experience the unique bond of a human-feline friendship. Her love and loyalty are waiting for you. BASIL is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / ABYSSINIAN MIX. She is about 3 years and 2 months old. She is good with cats and dogs. She has lived with young children. BASIL is currently at a foster home in Indio, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. Go to Workinwhiskers.com (Click on ADOPT) 2. Fill Out Online Form 3. Submit Online Application 4.

One was 8 weeks old. DAMEON and his 4 siblings (BAELON - VISERYS - AEMOND - AEGON) were turned in to the shelter as strays. But by their mannerisms and as healthy as they were, we believe they were kittens born to a domestic mama cat. These guys are the absolute sweetest kittens ever! Meet DAMEON, a young cat with a personality that's as vibrant as a rainbow. He's sweet and friendly, always ready to greet you with a purr. His independent streak shines through his curiosity, leading him on goofy adventures that will leave you laughing. DAMEON's intelligence and playfulness make every day a joy. He's energetic, always ready for a game of chase-the-laser. But don't be fooled, he loves his cuddle time too. Loyal to a fault, DAMEON can be a bit picky with his feline friends, preferring to be your one and only. His outgoing nature makes him the perfect companion for any home. Adopt DAMEON, not just because he will bring laughter and love into your life, but because every cat deserves a forever home where they are cherished. DAMEON is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / ABYSSINIAN-TABBY MIX. He is over 1 year and 9 months. He is with dogs and Guinea pigs. He has never been around young children but has been with pre-teens.
