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.

Barn Cats for Adoption & Placement in Temecula, CA

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.

Pardon our Cats! Kitten Season is Here!

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.

Newest Gods & Goddesses Kitten Rescues and Cat Rescue Volunteers Needed!!

Rescued Gods and Goddesses Kittens — Hemet PetSmart Rescued Kitten Zeus

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.

We are looking for assistance (donations/ volunteers) in many ways:
– Donations – Financial assistance always helps and we also accept in-kind donations. You can donate through Facebook or if you do not mind clicking over to our website, you can donate through PayPal or learn about mailing a check. PayPal allows you to choose an amount plus we immediately get the funds. Here is the link:

Hemet Black and White Kitties Everywhere! Rescue of 2 Moms & 10 Kittens

Meet our rescued 2 momma cats and 10 kittens! Here is an update from

Volunteer Shell about their history:

“A young woman in Hemet went out to her carport and discovered a young mom cat with 5 newly born kittens and she took them in so that they could be somewhere safe and warm. She made sure that the mom had access to food and water and was in her house in a warm safe place with her kittens.

Temecula Cat Rescue of Mom Cat & her Kittens — Rescued B&W Mom and her Kittens

Approximately a week later she discovered a heavily pregnant cat also in her carport and took that one in as well. It looked very similar to the first cat so she thought maybe they were related and decided to keep both of them in her apartment. The second cat is the one that Lynn has and sent pics for. Shortly after taking in the pregnant cat she gave birth to 5 kittens. She had trouble birthing two of them and the girl needed to help her deliver. But the mom and the kittens have seemed healthy and happy since.

When the kittens started to grow and scamper around she realized that
1) her apartment was too small to keep herself, her boyfriend, her dog, her cat, plus two mom cats and 10 baby kittens in forever.
2) if she gave away the mom cats and the kittens without getting them spayed and neutered and vaccinated first she was just going to be adding to the overpopulation problem and she didn’t want that.
3) getting all of them spayed and neutered and vaccinated before giving them away was going to be more costly than she could afford and so getting them into a rescue was probably the best route so she began to look for a rescue.

She found the contact information for Karen at let them be little and contacted Karen about the cat and the kittens and Karen notified her that LTBL was full but that she would try to get in touch with somebody else that could possibly help and she contacted me, and here we are.

The kittens that I have are about 6 weeks old, were flea free, but were suffering from a mild URI which is mostly cleared up now. The ones that Lin has are about 4-4.5 weeks old. I am bad about guesstimating older cats ages so I would guess under 3 years old for the moms, possibly under 2 but may be off.”

Here is the link to a newer post with an update on one of the momma cats, Lily and her five kittens.

Cat Rescue of Mama Torrie and her Kittens

Mama Torrie was living with a pack of other stray and feral cats in a condominium complex in Hemet. Her finder moved in almost a year ago and has been feeding this cat because she likes to hang around her place and is up on her roof a lot. We think but do not know for sure that it is possible her owners used to live in that same home and then just left their cat behind when they moved send Torrie seems to prefer that place so much. Shell helped to trap pregnant Torrie.

On Monday, April 2nd, Torrie gave birth in the morning to two beautiful kittens. Because she was so large and she was continuing to breathe rather heavily as though she was still in labor we ended up taking her into the vet yesterday to check and see whether or not she had any more kittens stuck inside her. It turns out that she’s just a little bit chunky and does not have any more kittens stuck inside of her which is good. She is a very good mother, very loving, takes excellent care of both of her babies and they are eating and moving well. The dark, solid colored one looks to be male, and Shell thinks the other will end up with a Torbi or Torti color pattern once older and is a female. Mom is a Torbi though looks more tabby as her orange splashes are light and only around the back legs/bum area.
