MARCH 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.
SEBASTIAN and MALIFICENT were rescued from a HORRIBLE 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. But we don't know for sure that they are siblings.
As of MARCH 2026, 98 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 in their professional pictures,
Meet SEBASTIAN - A Loving, Smart, and Playful Gray Tuxedo Cat
SEBASTIAN is a charming young gray tuxedo cat with a heart full of love and a personality that will quickly win you over. At just a few years old, he has already experienced quite a lot in his life, but his resilience and sweet nature shine through every day.
A Rough Start, A Bright Future
SEBASTIAN's journey to finding his forever home hasn't been easy. He came from a heartbreaking hoarding situation, where he and many other cats lived in poor conditions. Despite his difficult start, SEBASTIAN has shown an incredible ability to trust, love, and adapt. He's blossomed into a well-rounded, affectionate, and friendly cat who deserves all the love and happiness in the world.
Personality: Playful, Affectionate, and Smart
SEBASTIAN is the kind of cat who will quickly make himself at home in your heart. He's playful and fun, always up for a little game or a cozy snuggle session. He enjoys spending time with other cats and is easygoing around them, so he'd make an excellent addition to a multi-cat household. His social nature means he's also tolerant and unbothered by dogs, although he has never lived with kids before, so it's unclear how he would react to them.
While SEBASTIAN is often content to curl up on the couch with you, he also enjoys being carried around. He's one of those special cats who loves human companionship and will show his affection in the sweetest ways, whether it's following you around or snuggling up to you for a good nap.
What SEBASTIAN Needs: A Loving Forever Home
SEBASTIAN is looking for a patient, understanding family who can continue helping him build confidence and enjoy a life full of love and fun. He's incredibly gentle and would likely do well in a home that's calm and structured. Whether you're an experienced cat owner or a first-time adopter, SEBASTIAN is the kind of cat who will adapt well to his new environment as long as he gets the attention and care he deserves.
He's a little sensitive to loud noises and chaotic environments, which makes a quiet home or one with a few other pets a perfect match for him. He's also not too demanding, and with the right family, he'll settle in and become an incredible companion.
Why You'll Love SEBASTIAN:
Affectionate: SEBASTIAN is loving and will reward you with endless purrs and cuddles.
Good with Other Cats: He's friendly and easygoing around other cats and could be a great addition to your current feline family.
Laid-Back: SEBASTIAN is calm around dogs and unreactive to new situations.

If you're looking for a fun, smart, and loving feline friend to bring into your life, look no further than SEBASTIAN. With a little patience and love, he will undoubtedly blossom into the best companion you could ever ask for.
