Foster Victoria gave this update about the kittens she trapped and is fostering:
“These are the ferals I trapped on my street. Everyone is getting more and more social every day. They all purr! Brandon and Ethan are the most social. Ashton was the most shy but he is now the third social. Ashton is timid but he wants to loved on. If I am petting someone else he comes over to be pet in a timid way. He will come over and lay next to the cat I am petting and look at me like pet me too. They have taken a lot of work but they are almost ready for new homes. No hissing no hiding. Just kitties that want to play! They are still a little sensitive to noise but we are working on that. We can hold them and snuggle them we just need to get them use to being man handle by kids!
They are about 10 – 12 weeks old and they are almost 3 lbs. They should be available in the next couple weeks. Brandon, Ashton, and Ethan are the biggest. Alyssa and Danny are smaller. ”

Foster Sadie shared this update and photos:
“Bella was posted as a pregnant stray and the moment I saw her I knew I had to take her home so she could give birth safely. She immediately adapted to my home and had her babies the same day. She a bit of trouble during delivery I had to help her free 2 babies from their sack but in the end she successfully delivered 5 babies.Bella instantly became part of my family so she is staying here with us along with one of her kittens so she has a buddy. But there is 4 other beautiful babies that will need a forever home they won’t be ready for quite a few weeks (they are only 3 weeks old) but they would love to be apart of your family and become your best friends so meet Bellas wonderful kittens; Hercules, Hades, Felix, and Gypsy. 3 males and 1 female”

Thank you for all that you do for these precious kitties. Rufus (previously Cheddar) is growing healthily and is a loving and cheeky cat who loves to play fetch with his catnip mice and my husband’s smelly socks. He is a joy in our lives, made possible because of your efforts.

Sam Rescued Maine Coon Mix KittenAngel Rescued Maine Coon Mix Kitten
60 KITTENS! Shell was off to the rescue again when she saw an online post from an auto yard giving away kittens. Even though we are overfull, she worried that another interested party may want to pick them up for snake food.
Meet Angel, Lola, and Sam! The are all girls and we believe them to be Maine Coon mixes based on the auto yard staff. They noted that the mother cat appears to hang around with a male cat that is a Maine Coon. The mother had the kittens in the back of a car where she was caring for them. The mother appears to have taken off and has not been seen in the past few days which is why the auto yard staff was trying to give away the kittens.
The kittens appear to have an upper respiratory infection and are being treated for it. As a standard of care for all rescued animals, we are also giving them prophylactic medications such as Pancur for parasites.
Angel appears to be a medium hair. Lola and Sam appear to be short hair. We think the kittens are about 5-6 weeks old. The kittens will need to be about 3 pounds or 8-12 weeks old before they can be adopted. If you are interested in adopting, please email us at info@babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org.
We were able to rescue these kittens thanks to a new foster volunteer, Sadie. We do turn away many people who ask for help given our limited resources.
– Photographer: We need a volunteer to help photograph all our kitties for posting out online. Please email info@babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org if interested.
– Web: We need a volunteer to help us with social media and WordPress blog postings. Please email info@babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org if interested.

Barn Cats are feral or semi-feral cats who live outdoors. They are provided with shelter such a barn or similar structure that is safe place from cold, heat, and predators like coyotes. Barn cats are useful for helping to keep down the rodent populations in places where there are food sources for rodents such as grain. It makes the environment safer for you since you do not need traps and poisons to trap rodents.
We ensure to spay and neuter any cats so as to stop the cycle of pet overpopulation. We will also test the cats for diseases like feline leukemia and provide them with initial vaccinations.
The cats will not be able to sustain themselves on rodents alone. The adopter will need to provide supplemental food and water. The adopter may need to take the cat in for veterinary care.
When adopting a barn cat, placements work best by having multiple cats together. You can read more about it here for the safe relocation of feral cats.
If you are in the greater Temecula area (Murrieta, Hemet, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore) and are interested in adopting a barn cat, please email us at info@babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org.
Meet the Tobe-ster (Tobey). This little kitten has been with Baby Bobby’s Meow House Rescue for a while now. Mostly due to the fact that he doesn’t show well at the adoption events because he is so scared.
Tabby Kitten Toby for Adoption
Recently, he was transferred to my house from his other Foster and he is just the sweetest little thing. It took him a couple of days to warm up but now he is constantly asking for attention and playful. He is playing with my cats, he is snuggling on the bed, and it is really cool to see his personality flourish because before this I only got to see him at adoption events and had no idea how sweet and playful he actually is when not at an event.
Tabby Kitten Toby for Adoption
If your family is looking for a laid-back, super cute, super sweet, super soft kitty cat that loves to snuggle and occasionally play then please consider adding Toby to your home. He is 6 months old, gets along very well with other cats, gets along with kids and adults, gets along with small dogs but is unsure about big dogs. He is a little shy at first but as soon as he warms up to you (which only takes a couple days) he turns into just the best companion in the world. So please don’t let his shyness at events fool you- give this kitten the chance that he deserves for his forever home.
In April 2018, 1273 cats were impounded and 660 or 52% of cats were euthanized. For the period 7/1/17 to 2/28/18, 11,620 cats were impounded and 6,543 or 56% of cats were euthanized. We occasionally rescue from San Bernardino County too which has even higher death
rates.
We are asking donations to help out since kitten season has started and the first wave of fur babies is showing up now. In addition to being contacted about found kittens, we help with rescuing adults too. We only charge $85 for kittens and $50 or less for cats as an adoption fee. This does not cover our costs and we rely on donations to make up the difference in costs.

Here is the story from Shell on our current rescues:
“These little Gods and Goddesses were dumped at the Hemet PetSmart a few days ago. Once I was contacted I arranged pick up time so these underagers wouldn’t head to the shelter while I was doing school pick ups. They were terrified and hissy. They are becoming quite the snugglebugs now.”
Shell and Valarie counted our kittens across all fosters… WE HAVE 57 KITTENS!!!! Our kittens will come up for adoption about the same time.
We wait until a kitten is 10-12 weeks old or about 3 pounds. We do not like to do surgery at an earlier date since it can impact the lifetime of the cat from the anesthesia harming the kitten or the kitten’s urinary tract no developing properly.
