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.

ESTHER was saved by the Rescue Mama's neighbor in Hemet, California. The neighbor found her at a park really scared and skinny. We got her into the rescue and now this little sweetie is ready for her own family!

Meet ESTHER: The Shy but Resilient Bombay Beauty

ESTHER is a stunning Bombay cat with a sleek, black coat that gleams like velvet in the light. She may be a little shy at first, but don’t let her quiet demeanor fool you – ESTHER is full of heart and resilience. She was found abandoned on the streets of Hemet, California, left to fend for herself, but despite her rough start, she’s proven to be a true survivor. Now, ESTHER is looking for a loving and patient forever home where she can feel safe and cherished.

A Quiet Soul with a Playful Heart

ESTHER may take a little time to warm up to new people and environments, but once she feels comfortable, her playful nature shines through. She enjoys chasing after toys and loves to explore her surroundings at her own pace. She’s a cat that values routine and needs a quiet, calm home where she can slowly adjust and build trust. A peaceful, low-stress environment is key to helping her come out of her shell.

Resilient and Loving

Though ESTHER may initially appear reserved, she’s incredibly resilient and has made great strides since her rescue. She thrives in a gentle and consistent environment, and she’s already shown she’s capable of forming strong bonds with those who treat her with patience and respect. With time, she will reward you with affection and a deep sense of connection.

Good with Other Cats

ESTHER gets along well with other friendly cats. She’s not one to pick fights or cause drama, but she does enjoy the company of a calm feline friend. A household with another friendly and well-mannered cat could be ideal, as it would give her the social interaction she craves while allowing her to stay at her own pace.
