VICTORIA

My story

SEPTEMBER 2025 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. The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. So don't let that discourage you from adopting an adult cat! VICTORIA and her 4 kittens (GROGU - EWOK - MUCHI-JAWA) were part of a huge TNR effort in Los Angeles County. The group TNRed all the adult cats and rescued moms with kittens. They went to a foster. Then we were asked to help get them good homes. Now Ms. VICTORIA is ready for her FUREVER home! Meet VICTORIA, a very sweet and vocal tortoiseshell cat with a personality as colorful as her coat. This chatty girl will make sure you know exactly what she's thinking with her various meows and trills. Don't be fooled by her soft and sugary disposition, though—VICTORIA can be a little feisty and sassy, especially when she's trying to get her point across. She absolutely thrives on human interaction and loves nothing more than getting a good chin scratch or a long pet session. While she adores attention, she can be a bit shy when meeting new people, so a quiet and patient introduction is best. When it comes to other cats, VICTORIA is a "queen bee" at heart. She's okay with other felines, but she definitely prefers to be the ruler of her castle. She needs a patient and easygoing cat companion who will respect her boundaries. There’s no violence in this feisty girl—she’s all talk and sass, not a bully. Despite her regal attitude, she’s still very much a playful cat who loves chasing toys and pouncing on imaginary creatures. Her playful energy and loving nature make her an incredibly special and entertaining companion. If you're looking for a vocal, loving, and sassy feline to rule your heart and your home, VICTORIA is the cat for you. Adopt VICTORIA, and let her fill your life with love, laughter, and companionship. VICTORIA is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TORTISHELL MIX. She is 5 years 3 months old. She is OK with cats and non-reactive to dogs. She will be happiest with one other cat or by herself. She has never been around children. VICTORIA is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California.
