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”

Shell took photos of the wide variety of cats and kittens that are coming up soon for adoption! Overall we have about 60 kittens and it is just the start of kitten season. We rescue cats from Temecula and surrounding areas, such as, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, and Hemet.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Here is a foster home update on one of the black and white momma cats and her kittens:
“There are five kittens and their mother. We named the mother cat Lily. I think that all the kittens are males with short hair. They are all very playful and healthy. They are about five weeks old. They love to play with each other. They all get along very well.”

Meet our rescued 2 momma cats and 10 kittens! Here is an update from
Rescued B&W Mom and her Kittens
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.
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.
Rescued B&W Kittens
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.
Rescued B&W Mom and her Kittens
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.
Rescued B&W Mom and her Kittens
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.”
We are a cat rescue that adopts out cats and kittens in the greater Temecula area in Riverside County, CA. We hold regular adoption events at PetSmart located at 32413 Temecula Parkway, Temecula, CA 92592. Learn more by signing-up for our newsletter.
More kittens! We do need to do a tally at some point. Volunteer Patsy trapped 3 kittens and their mother. She had been trying to trap mom for 2 years. She is guessing the kittens are 5 weeks old, but will confirm when she takes them in for a vet check.
Our fur babies are all too small for adoption, but you can complete an application form to be pre-approved if there if you want to adopt or are interested in a specific kitten that we have featured. If so, please email us at info@babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org.
Our kittens need to be about 10-12 weeks old or 2.5-3 pounds before they are big enough for a spay and neuter surgery. People have told us they know kittens who have had it done at an earlier age. Please know that we believe that this compromises the cat’s long term health with potential problems from not being physically developed enough. There can be complications from receiving anesthesia while being so young or the urinary track does not develop correctly due to the surgery being too soon.
Yes, potential adopters will miss a few weeks when they are super small and adorable, but it will make for a lifetime of a healthier cat. Thank You!

We were notified of a feral mother cat and her kittens in Santiago Estates in Temecula, CA. We were able to trap the kittens and plan to work on trapping the mom so as to help end the cycle of pet overpopulation.
The kittens will be available for adoption once they are about 2.5 – 3 pounds or 8-11 weeks old. If you are interested in adopting, then please email us at info@babybobbysmeowhouserescue.org.
