COOKIE

NOVEMBER 2026

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 if a kitten is too much energy for you! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old.

COOKIE and her kittens (AMARETTI, SNICKERDOODLE, MOCHA TRUFFLE, BISCOTTI and BUTTERSCOTCH) were left in a carrier on a lady's doorstep in Murrieta, California. When notified, we found a foster and who took them in.

Meet COOKIE, a beautiful Torbie (Diluted Tortoiseshell Tabby) from Murrieta, California, whose colorful coat and wonderfully quirky personality make her a one-of-a-kind feline sweetheart. This spirited girl has a playful streak, a curious mind, and enough entertaining antics to keep you smiling throughout the day!

COOKIE's story began when she and her five tiny kittens, Amaretti, Snickerdoodle, Mocha Truffle, Biscotti, and Butterscotch, were left together in a carrier on a kind woman's doorstep in Murrieta, California. When our rescue was notified, we quickly found a wonderful foster who welcomed this little family and gave them the care and safety they needed. COOKIE raised her babies, and now this special mama is ready for a chapter of her own.

COOKIE is a character in the very best sense of the word. She has plenty of energy and enjoys running around, chasing her own tail, and keeping herself entertained with her wonderfully unpredictable antics. One of her favorite hobbies is sink sitting, because apparently bathroom sinks make excellent feline lounge chairs! She is curious, playful, and full of personality, making everyday life with her an entertaining adventure.

COOKIE currently prefers spending her time in a comfortable bedroom and bathroom retreat. She is still feeling uncertain around adult cats and may respond with a hiss when they approach. She will need continued patience and gentle socialization before she is ready for a busy cattery environment. Her comfort and confidence are important, and she should be allowed to progress at her own pace.

COOKIE may be especially suitable as the only cat in a loving home where she can enjoy being the center of attention without navigating feline roommates. A calm environment, interactive toys, cozy resting spots, and positive reinforcement can help her feel secure while allowing her playful personality to shine.

This lovely girl has so much charm packed into her colorful coat. Imagine watching COOKIE race through the room, chase her tail, and then settle into her favorite sink as if she has reserved the royal bathroom suite!

COOKIE is an DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TORBIE MIX. She is about 1 year 4 months old. COOKIE is OK with cats. She has never been around kids or dogs.

COOKIE is currently at a foster home in Murietta, California.

The cats/kittens at a foster/rescue home, we will accommodate as much as possible. But steps 1-6 of the ADOPTION PROCESS need to be done before we do the OFFICIAL MEET and GREETS. It is easier to do the meet and greets at the locations listed below:

*********WE CAN DO MEET AND GREETS AT THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS*********

PETSMART - 17651 Colima Rd, City Of Industry, California 91748

PETSMART - 25290 Madison Ave, Murrieta, California 92562

The crazy rescue mama will drive kitties to their new home, meet and greets, etc...once the phone interview and home check have been done. Gas donations always appreciated!

************* Please no calls to the rescue. No one is 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.

COOKIE is ALREADY fully vetted.
The adoption fee of $200 covers:

Spay
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!
