COLTON

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

COLTON, his mom (BETTI BOOPERS) and her 3 siblings (LYNX, BEBE & TIGGER) were living in a bad hoarding situation in Bakersfield, California. They were living off a dangerous street and people were actually poisoning the cats there. A group of rescuers helped all the cats involved and called us to take these babies.

These poor guys were so skinny, dirty and scared. And when COLTON came to our rescue, we discovered he was very social. COLTON is a sweet boy. He has found toys and likes to play. He loves ear and belly rubs. And you can't help but fall in love with his little face that looks so sweet. And he is very sweet and a bit shy.

COLTON and his sister BEBE were adopted together. And to their dismay, their dad passed away. We were called to pick them up and the rescue mama ran to get them. It has been a very hard journey for them.



Meet COLTON, a handsome young adult orange and white tabby from Bakersfield, California, whose gentle heart and warm, sunshine-colored coat make him a truly special companion. This sweet boy has experienced some heartbreaking changes, but beneath his shy beginnings is a loving cat who still hopes to find his very own happily ever after.

COLTON was originally rescued from the streets of Bakersfield and eventually adopted alongside his beloved sister, BEBE. Life seemed to be settling into a wonderful new chapter for these two siblings until tragedy struck. Their beloved human parent passed away, leaving COLTON and BEBE facing another unexpected change. BEBE has since found a new family, but COLTON is still waiting patiently for someone to open their heart and welcome him home again.

COLTON can be a little shy when meeting new people, but please don't let that fool you! Once he feels comfortable, his sweet personality begins to shine. He truly enjoys the company of both cats and humans, and having friendly feline companions around can be especially comforting for him. He is the kind of boy who appreciates companionship, gentle attention, and simply being near the people and cats he loves.

A calm, welcoming environment and a little patience will help COLTON settle in and feel secure. He needs someone who understands that trust takes time and who will allow him to become comfortable at his own pace. In return, you will discover a wonderful companion with a loving heart and so much affection to share.

COLTON's story is a reminder that sometimes the sweetest cats are the ones who need a little extra time to feel brave again. He has already experienced the joy of having a family, and he is ready to experience that happiness once more. A cozy place to nap, friendly feline company, gentle pets, and a loving caregiver could make all the difference in his world.

This handsome orange-and-white gentleman is still waiting for his next chapter, and we would love for it to be filled with comfort, companionship, and love.

COLTON is currently at our rescue in Hemet, 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:

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!

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.

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!
