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!
ZANDER and his 5 siblings were living in a large colony in Long Beach, CA. He was part of a large colony that was getting TNR help. They were living in a busy parking area under cars because management had bolted shut the area under houses they use to seek shelter.
People had intentionally run over some and & poisoning others there. Since the 6 were already 5-6 months old and were unsocialized and very skittish, they were released back to the site. Their trapper called us crying the night she was releasing them because she had no other option since she already had 8 cats at home she had nowhere to put them.
When she released them, all 6 were crying and confused in the middle of the street until they all came together and touched each other’s noses and cuddled up in a ball in middle of street. So that was our cue to bring them to our rescue.
Our boy was adopted and lived with his human for over 2 years. To his dismay, his human died. And the back up humans, dumped them on her neighbor. So now ZANDER is back at our rescue. He is now ready for his new home.
Meet ZANDER, a three-year-old Egyptian Mau from Long Beach, California, whose essence is pure joy wrapped in a stunning silver-spotted coat. ZANDER is the kind of cat who can turn any ordinary day into a playful adventure. His lively, funny personality shines through in everything he does, from the way he pounces on his favorite toys to the endearing moves he makes when he's excited. This energetic feline loves to chase after feather wands. a
ZANDER isn’t just about playtime, though. He has a sweet side, especially when he’s around other cats. Having lived with a female cat before, ZANDER has shown that he enjoys the company of his fellow felines, making him a great companion for a home with other cats. He’s the kind of kitty who would love to curl up next to a furry friend after a day of play, sharing warmth and comfort in that special way only cats can.
With his affectionate and social nature, ZANDER is sure to bring a lot of laughter and companionship to his new loving home. Whether he’s chasing after a sunbeam or curling up for a cozy nap, Zander’s playful spirit and charming personality are bound to win your heart. Are you ready to welcome this fun-loving cat into your life?
ZANDER is a EGYPTIAN MAU / TABBY-TIGER MIX. He is about 2 years 10 months old and is good with cats. He has never been around children or dogs.
ZANDER is currently at PETSMART *** 25290 Madison Ave, Murrieta, CA 92562 ***
********* MAY CONSIDER OUT OF STATE ADOPTIONS NEAR CALIFORNIA, BUT BE AWARE THAT WE WILL NOT SHIP. ADOPTER WILL NEED TO PICK UP**********
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.

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.
ZANDER 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!
