FEBUARY 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.
HAMLET, his 3 siblings (BANKURO - GATZ - DEVIL DIAS) and 4 older cat relatives were living in a tough area in Baldwin Park, California. These poor babies were living in someone's yard in the heat. The rescue mama happened to look on Facebook one day and saw the video of one of BANKURO''s possible siblings being chased by a coyote, Needless to say, the rescue mama set course the next day to pick them all up.
HAMLET (named after the anime: ONE PIECE) has known the street life for a very short time. With all the tragedy that has happened to this boy and his family, he deserves to be have a wonderful home. He has now been living a nice pampered life.
Meet HAMLET, a sweet and shy small, young adult looking for a quiet home! This handsome boy, named after the popular anime series One Piece, is a survivor from the streets of Baldwin Park, California. He and his family faced the dangers of coyotes before being rescued. This brave young adult, understandably, after this experience has made him a bit shy at first, but with a patient and loving approach, his sweet personality will shine through.
While a bit reserved initially, HAMLET thrives on the companionship of his people and enjoys playing. He'll make sure you know when it's wet food time with a delightful fuss, and will bring a gentle sweetness to his forever home. HAMLET enjoys playtime, and thrives in a calm environment where he can feel safe and loved. He's looking for a forever family who will cherish his quiet loyalty and help him blossom into the confident, loving cat he's meant to be.
HAMLET is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TUXEDO MIX. He is about 3 years and 9 months old, He is good with cats and non-reactive to dogs. He has never been around young children.
HAMLET is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California.

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.
