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.
PRINCE CHARMING and several feline family members were saved from a horrific hoarding case in Riverside, California. We know they are all related because the horrible human woman, kept letting them mate. When the Rescue Mama found out she took action.
As of OCTOBER 2025, 86 cats have either gone to other rescues or have been saved by us. You will know who these cats are by their names. They have all been named after the show "Once Upon A Time". Aside from the necklaces the kitties wear i in their professional pictures, Rescue Mama names her rescue cats after shows she watches.
PRINCE CHARMING is the definition of a survivor with a heart of gold. Arriving from a difficult hoarding case in Riverside, California he faced overwhelming challenges. But despite a rough start in life, this sweet orange tabby holds absolutely no grudges. His spirit is as bright as his ginger fur, and he is ready to write the next, much happier chapter of his life with a loving family.
PRINCE CHARMING has quickly learned that a soft human touch and a full food bowl are two of life's greatest pleasures. He absolutely adores his wet food and isn't shy about asking for it-his charmingly persistent "talks" will let you know exactly when he's ready for dinner. These conversations are just one of his many endearing qualities. PRINCE CHARMING is a playful cat who loves to chase toys and bat around anything that crinkles. Watching him play brings pure joy, and his happy spirit is contagious.
Sometimes, when he's deep in thought, you might notice a little worried look on his face, a tiny echo of his past. But a gentle scratch behind the ears or a quiet word is all it takes to remind him that he is safe and loved. He has shown incredible resilience and an ability to trust, proving that true happiness can be found after hardship. If you're looking for a cat who will appreciate every ounce of kindness you give him, PRINCE CHARMING is waiting for his happy ending.
PRINCE CHARMING is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TABBY MIX. He is about 1 year and 4 months old. PRINCE CHARMING is good with cats. He has never been around children but has lived with dogs. Not sure if he actually met the dog but there was a dog in the home.
PRINCE CHARMING is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California.

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.nt.
