In the shelter’s words

OCTOBER 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. CINDERELLA 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 July 2026, 100 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, Rescue Mama names her rescue cats after shows she is currently watching at the time she saves them. Meet CINDERELLA, a delightful Domestic Shorthair from a tough past, now searching for a new loving home where she can shine in all her sassy sweetness. With her soft, Bombay fur and big, bright eyes, shell capture your heart in a heartbeat. CINDERELLA might have had a challenging start in life she came from a hoarding situation involving over 100 cats but that hasn't dampened her vibrant spirit one bit. CINDERELLA is a true connoisseur of love and attention. She is sweet as pie but can definitely hold her own when it comes to getting what she wants. You'll often find her rubbing up against furniture, doors, or even your legs, claiming her space in the world with a gentle nudge. She is playful, full of energy, and ready to be the center of attention when the moment strikes. If you've got treats, you've got her full attention she goes absolutely wild for them! Although CINDERELLA was surrounded by other cats in her past, she has shown she gets along wonderfully with them, so she is sure to fit in well with your feline family. As for dogs, she is lived with them before, but the specifics of their interactions remain a mystery. With some patience and positive reinforcement, she is likely to adapt to a new canine companion, especially if given the space to feel comfortable and safe. CINDERELLA has not just about the cuddles (though she is definitely into those, too). She has a quirky side, often rubbing herself up against anything she can find furniture, walls, or even your hands claiming her territory in the most adorable way. This sweet, sassy girl needs a patient caregiver who can show her the love and stability she's been waiting for. Are you ready to give CINDERELLA a second chance at a life filled with treats, attention, and endless love?
