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.
ZEPHYR and his sisters (ATALANA, CIRCE, and DESPONIA) and his mama EUROPA were saved in San Jacinto, California. The wonderful couple saved them from the very cruel neighbors. So they called us. They are currently fostering them. And we are so glad they did.
Meet ZEPHYR, a charming tuxedo kitty from San Jacinto, California, whose signature cue mustache and striking golden eyes make him look like the most dapper feline on the block. This young gentleman is a delightful mix of playful mischief and poised sophistication-a true character ready to bring smiles to your days.
ZEPHYR has a soft spot for snacks and considers any ball or box his ultimate treasure. Whether he's chasing a bouncing ball across the floor or dramatically jumping into a box with a sense of victory, his antics are sure to brighten your home. When it's time to relax, you'll find him perched at the very top of his cat tree, gazing down at the world with an air of regal confidence, as though he's the CEO of all he surveys.
Though he's full of youthful energy, ZEPHYR's playfulness is matched by his gentle nature. He doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body and prefers to keep things lighthearted. Of course, like any self-respecting cat, he occasionally succumbs to a classic case of the zoomies, darting through the house like a furry whirlwind of joy. It's all part of his irresistible charm.
ZEPHYR would thrive with a pet parent who can offer him plenty of interactive playtime and a cozy spot for lounging (preferably high up for optimal people-watching). He'd fit in wonderfully with a family who loves an affectionate, quirky companion to share laughs and snuggles. Whether you're up for a game or relaxing after a long day, ZEPHYR's warm personality makes him the purr-fect partner.
Are you ready to meet this snazzy tuxedo cat with a playful streak and a heart of gold? ZEPHYR is waiting to bring laughter, love, and a touch of feline elegance to his new loving home. Reach out to adopt ZEPHYR to start your journey together!
ZEPHYR is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TUXEDO MIX. He is about 1 year 4 months old and is good with cats and has lived and played with a dog. He has never been around children.
ZEPHYR is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California.

************* 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.
ZEPHYR 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.
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!
