Abyssinian kittens & cats in Oceanside, California

-

Belinda is a very sweet, misunderstood biscuit-making lover who is easily spooked by loud noises (then comes immediately back). She has had all of her teeth removed due to stomatitis, but still eats everything put in front of her, hard or soft. She loves food, and snuggling with other cats! Because she can be shy with loud noises and lots of commotion, she would do best in a home with no young kids.

Melissa lives for attention! She isn't overly interactive with the other cats but she tolerates their presence. She loves getting attention from humans and lounging in the Sun on a soft spot.

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. KOALA was saved by an independent rescuer back in late 2021. She was young. Well fast forward to 1 year ago, the lady was killed by a drunk driver.

KOALA is the eight one to be ready for adoption. And still with us after a year. KOALA can be shy at first. She gets comfortable very quick and is curious about everything. She can get startled, but will come back and investigate. She gets very excited about her can food. He is a very good assistant and loves to help you do your chores (well she will chase the broom and mop). Meet KOALA, a young feline filled with a vibrant spirit and an independent streak. Her sweetness is as infectious as her playful antics, making every moment with her a joy. She's curious and smart, always on the hunt for a new adventure. Her goofy, gentle nature will have you chuckling, while her mellow demeanor ensures she's never too much to handle. She'll flop on her side to catch your attention, her tail curling in delight. KOALA is loyal and brave, her energy boundless. She's a cuddly companion, ready to offer comfort or join in playtime.

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. He would do best as an only cat. DAMEON is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. Go to Workinwhiskers.com (Click on ADOPT) 2. Fill Out Online Form 3.

How this pet arrived: Nirvana was brought in by her previous owner on November 10, 2024. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Nirvana, the beauty queen and proud cardholder of the No Cat Club, who's all about claiming her throne in a calm, cat-exclusive home. Why share the spotlight when you can keep it all to yourself? She's on the hunt for that perfect sunbeam to lounge in, where she can relax without a single whisker out of place. Her hypnotic gaze and luxurious coat might just make you feel like you belong to her-and she'll expect you to act accordingly. Nirvana is a fan of pets and even brushing- no baths though! Nirvana's ideal home is one that understands her specific needs. She comes with a few quirks, including dental disease that will likely require some tooth extractions. Her allergies also mean she needs a hypoallergenic diet and to stay indoors. But fear not; your vet will be on hand to help tailor a care plan that keeps her feeling fabulous. For Nirvana, it's all about quality care and the VIP treatment. When you're ready to whisk her away, make sure to bring a top-loading carrier for her royal journey home. This lovely lady knows she's special and expects her new humans to be equally committed to keeping her comfortable and adored. If you're ready for a diva with a big personality and a knack for charming her subjects, Nirvana just might be your ideal match. Primary Color: Seal Point Weight: 8.56 Age: 3yrs 11mths 0wks
