Bolt – Tuxedo Kitten Available for Adoption

tuxedo kittens for adoption from Temecula cat rescue — Bolt is a tuxedo male short hair kitten for pet adoption

A woman found two black and white pregnant female cats in her carport. She took them into her apartment. This kitten is from one of the mothers. The kittens were picked up by our rescue on 4/22/18.
The kittens for this litter include Bat Girl (black female), Bolt (B&W male), Bolt (B&W male), Mittens (B&W female)

This kitten’s foster home said this about him:
“Bolt is a lightning bolt of energy, all he ever wants to do is run and play. You will always be entertained with this little munchkin running around. And the little lightning bolt on his back just adds character to his fun personality. ”

This is a kitten being fostered in a private home by our cat rescue. We are a rescue and not a shelter so we do not have a facility. The kitten will not be available to meet until an adoption event at PetSmart in Temecula. We are unable to bring any unsterilized animals to the adoption event per PetSmart policies but we will have updates on our cats posted on our blog, Facebook, and our newsletter.

At the adoption event, there will be an interview to discuss whether you understand and are willing to take on the responsibilities involved with owning a cat. The first qualified person interested in an animal will be able to adopt the feline(s). If people have indicated interest in advance, we will go through that list of names first before adopting to anyone who is present at the event.

This kitten’s foster home said this about her:
“Bat Girl is the ninja of the litter. With her dark as night fur, she hides in the corners waiting for the perfect moment to pounce on her brothers or maybe even you. This little girl is super playful and is quite the ball of energy. But when she wants to be, she is a total sweetie and cuddler. ”

Why does my cat not use its litter box?

Someone contacted us on surrendering a cat because it was going outside the litter box . Often cats will go next their litter box for a variety of reasons. They do this to try and get their owner’s attention since they can’t shout “Hey, I there is problem here!”

Have you considered all options on why your cat is not using the litter box?

Have you taken her to the vet to be evaluated? It may be that she has a UTI or some other problem. Your cat is trying to tell you it does not feel well.
Have you using a kitty litter with a strong scent? The scents are for humans but can be really offensive to cats. Cats live by their nose rubbing their cheeks and bodies on you as a friendly way to establish scent. The scent may discouraging the cat from going inside the litter box. As humans, no one wants to be in elevator with the person with bad body odor or reeks of perfume/ cologne. Kitty litter scents can be just as shocking and the cat is trying to give you a thumbs down vote.
Have changed the kitty litter brand? By changing from one brand to another can be offensive if the smell is different (see above) or the texture is different for their paws. If you want to change litter brands, do it gradually by mixing a small amount into what is familiar. Keep gradually increasing the mix so the transition is easy and feel comfortable.
Do you not scoop the litter box on a regular basis? Cats will stop using a litter box if it is too full. If you are not consistent, consider buying an automatic litter box that will scoop itself.
Did you add another cat to the household? Some cats are fine to share the litter box versus others will not. Cats are scent sensitivity when it comes to territory. Consider adding an extra box.
Is the litter box in a quiet area? If cats become startled by loud noises while in the box, the cat could be afraid to crawl into it. Is there is a dog, child, or another cat that pokes or attacks the cat when it tries to use its litter box? Cats are predators but also prey animals so they need to feel safe when using a litter box. (Humans too are known to have performance issues when using public restrooms!) Consider moving the litter box to a new location where your kitty can do its business undisturbed. This noise issue also applies to food dishes.

Contact us at info@babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org if you have other questions. When in doubt, please take your cat to a vet for evaluation!

Rescued Neighborhood Feral Kittens – Ashton, Ethan, Alyssa, Danny, Brandon

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. ”

Momma cat Bella and her new baby kittens

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.

Rescued Hemet Auto Yard Maine Coon Mix Female Kittens

Female DSH Rescued Maine Coon Mix Kitten — Sam Rescued Maine Coon Mix Kitten

Female MSH Rescued Maine Coon Mix Kitten — Angel 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.

If you want to help us, here are a few ways:

– Cash Donations: You can donate online via PayPal on our website at: http://babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org/donate.html

– In-Kind Donations: For many reasons, people have cat supplies to donate. We receive them at our Temecula PetSmart weekend adoption events.

– Foster: Sign-up to be a foster home by completing our application at: http://babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org/foster.html

– 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.

Pardon our Cats! Kitten Season is Here!

Rescued B&W Mom and her Kittens — Rescued B&W Kittens

We rescue cats and kittens from the greater Riverside County area which has a high euthanasia rate for cats. (https://www.rcdas.org/index.php/about-us/statistics)

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.
