Description:
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. PIONEER and his 5 siblings were found in the rough streets of Riverside, CA. The rescue lady kept them safe until she could find a rescue to take them. And unfortunately it had to be quick because the lady was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. So now they are here with us. PIONEER can be shy and may shy away. But once he knows you will pet him, he will meow and do this cute little dance to get your attention. He loves to talk! He meows when we put out his wet food. PIONEER loves to play with his toys and enjoys hanging out in his hammock! He does like to stay in his kennel because he loves her privacy. But now at the cattery, loves to come out and socialize! He loves to be petted and loves other cats. He's looking for his FUREVER home. We named him and his siblings after the streets in the area where they were saved from. PIONEER is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TABBY MIX. He is about 2 years old and 7 months is good with cats and non-reactive to dogs. In his foster home, he was around other kittens and older cats. He has been around older children. PIONEER is at our rescue in Hemet, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. Go to Workinwhiskers.com (Click on ADOPT) 2. Fill Out Online Form 3.

But steps 1-6 of the ADOPTION PROCESS need to be done before we do OFFICIAL MEET & GREETS. It is easier to do the meet and greets at the locations listed below. PETSMART in Murrieta, California off Madison Avenue in Hemet, California off Florida Avenue in Palm Desert, California off Monterey Avenue or any PETSMART near you! The crazy rescue mama will drive kitties to their new home, meet & greets, etc...once the phone interview and home check have been done.. Gas donations always appreciated! ************ PLEASE NO CALLS. NO ONE IS AVAILABLE TO TAKE CALLS ************* 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. PIONEER is ALREADY fully vetted. The adoption fee of $200 covers: Neuter FVRCP shots RABIES shot FELV/FIV test (Negative/Negative) Drontal Dewormer Stronghold Flea Control Microchip 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!
