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.
ODIE and his siblings (GARFILED and JINX) were part of a TNR project in El Monte, California. They TNRed all the adults and reached put to us to help with the kittens. So we named them after the GARFIELD movie.
Meet ODIE, a playful gray tabby from a cozy spot where he's known for his non-stop antics and sweet nature! This curious little fellow is always on the move, whether he's chasing a broom around the house or pouncing on his favorite toys with endless energy. If there's something to play with, you can bet ODIE is right there, ready to pounce, bat, or chase it down with full kitten enthusiasm.
One thing ODIE really loves? Treats! He's quick to show his appreciation when something tasty comes his way, often giving little excited hops that show off his playful side. But it's not all about playtime for ODIE-he's also a huge love bug. He adores receiving pets and will curl up in your lap whenever you settle in for some snuggle time. If you're in need of a cuddle partner, ODIE is your guy, always ready to soak up the affection and shower you with purring appreciation.
ODIE gets along famously with his siblings, and he's always up for some fun play sessions, whether it's tag or a game of hide-and-seek around the house. His easygoing, affectionate nature makes him a perfect companion for another playful cat or someone looking for a little extra love in their life.
ODIE is at the perfect age to be a lively, fun addition to a new family. His playful spirit and loving personality would thrive in a home where he's given lots of attention, playtime, and the occasional treat or two. He'll quickly become the heart of the household with his fun quirks and cuddly demeanor!

ODIE is a DOMESTICATED SHORT HAIR / TABBY. He is about 1 year 11 months old and is good with cats, especially ones that like to play! He has never been around children. And we don't know if he has ever been around dogs.
ODIE is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California.

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.
ODIE 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!
