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 if a kitten is too much energy for you! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old.
BISCOTTI and his siblings (AMARETTI, MOCHA TRUFFLE, SNICKERDOODLE and BUTTERSCOTCH) were left in a carrier with her mama COOKIE on a lady’s doorstep in Murrieta, California. When notified, we found a foster and who took them in.
Meet BISCOTTI, a young Russian Blue kitten from Murrieta, California, whose elegant good looks are matched by an exceptionally gentle and affectionate personality. BISCOTTI was just three weeks old when he arrived with his mama, COOKIE, and his siblings AMARETTI, SNICKERDOODLE, MOCHA TRUFFLE, and BUTTERSCOTCH after their little family was left together in a tiny carrier on a Murrieta doorstep. A kind lady brought them to us, and BISCOTTI has been growing up in a loving foster home ever since.
This handsome boy has a wonderfully tender nature and simply loves being close to his person. One of his favorite places in the world is right on your chest, where he can curl up for a cozy nap while listening to the comforting rhythm of your heartbeat. There is something especially sweet about having this gentle little man settle in for a cuddle, purr softly, and drift off to sleep.
BISCOTTI is the kind of kitten who makes companionship feel effortless. He enjoys being near his people and seems happiest when he can share their space. Whether he is snuggled up for a nap or quietly keeping you company, he brings a peaceful sweetness wherever he goes.
But do not let his elegant appearance and gentle personality fool you into thinking BISCOTTI does not know how to have fun. This boy has an impressive talent for detecting treats! Simply shake the treat jar, and BISCOTTI will appear in an instant. Apparently, no nap is too cozy and no distance is too great when a delicious snack is involved.
Raised with plenty of love and care, BISCOTTI is ready to bring his soft purrs, affectionate nature, and charming personality into a loving family. He can offer all the cozy companionship of a lap-loving kitten while adding plenty of smiles to snack time.
To learn more about adopting BISCOTTI, please contact adopt@joyfulpets.com. Could this gentle little Russian Blue be the sweet, snuggly companion who curls up on your chest and fills your days with purrs?

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.

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!
