BARONESS

JANUARY 2025

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! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old.

Meet BARONESS, a graceful Bombay cat from Riverside County who is the epitome of quiet elegance. With her sleek, ebony coat that shimmers like velvet in the light, she's a feline vision of beauty and serenity. BARONESS carries an air of gentle mystery, her golden eyes reflecting a soul that longs for a calm, loving environment where she can truly thrive.

BARONESS is a shy and timid sweetheart who takes her time warming up to new faces and surroundings. You see she lost her human and she is still a bit sad. But patience is the key to unlocking her heart. Once she feels safe, her quiet affection and gentle companionship will be your greatest reward. She's a master of the art of peaceful coexistence and is wonderfully good with other cats, making her a great addition to a multi-cat family or a perfect match for someone looking to expand their feline circle.

This reserved lady needs a caregiver who understands the value of giving her space to blossom at her own pace. Her quiet demeanor makes her an ideal companion for those who appreciate the soothing presence of a tranquil cat. Picture her curled up in her favorite sunny spot, her soft purring adding a peaceful rhythm to your home.

BARONESS isn't just looking for a home; she's looking for a family that will cherish her unique personality and provide her with the patience and care she needs to feel truly loved. Are you the kind-hearted soul ready to help this lovely lady write the next chapter of her life?

If you're ready to meet BARONESS and offer her the quiet, loving home she needs, please apply above. Could she be the calm companion you've been waiting for?

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.

BARONESS is ALREADY fully vetted.

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.
