Notes from Workin' Whiskers

OCTOBER 2026

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 if a kitten is too much energy for you! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old.

SNICKERDOODLE and his siblings (AMARETTI, MOCHA TRUFFLE, BISCOTTI and BUTTERSCOTCH) were left in a carrier with her mama COOKIE on a lady’s doorstep in Murrieta, California. When notified, we found a foster and who took them in.

Meet SNICKERDOODLE, a young buff tabby boy from Murrieta, California, whose tiny beginnings have grown into a BIG personality packed with energy, curiosity, and plenty of silly kitten antics. SNICKERDOODLE arrived with his mama and four siblings after they were left together in a carrier on a kind lady’s doorstep. He was the little runt of the litter, but with some extra love and encouragement from his foster mom, this determined little guy quickly caught up with his siblings.

Today, SNICKERDOODLE is anything but slow! He has transformed into the busiest boy around, and if there is something happening, you can be pretty sure he is right in the middle of it. Running, pouncing, chasing, climbing, and playing are all important parts of his daily schedule. He seems to have an endless supply of kitten energy and is always ready to turn just about anything into an exciting new adventure.

SNICKERDOODLE also knows how to make sure he never misses an important event, especially when treats are involved. He is always the first one in line for snack time, eagerly waiting to see what tasty surprise might be coming his way. His enthusiasm is absolutely contagious, and his silly antics are sure to bring plenty of laughter to the family lucky enough to welcome him.

Although he started life as the smallest of his siblings, SNICKERDOODLE has certainly made up for it with his big personality. He is an active, playful kitten who would love a family ready to embrace his busy nature and provide plenty of toys, enrichment, and opportunities for play. Watching him zoom around and invent his next adventure is sure to become one of the highlights of your day.

This handsome buff tabby boy is ready to fill his next chapter with fun, games, tasty treats, and a loving family who appreciates a kitten with personality to spare. If you are looking for a companion who will keep life entertaining and never leave you wondering what he is up to, SNICKERDOODLE may be your guy.

To learn more about adopting SNICKERDOODLE, please apply Workinwhiskers.com. Are you ready to welcome this busy little boy and all his nonstop fun into your family?

We do want him and his sister AMARETTI to go home together.

The crazy rescue mama will drive kitties to their new home, meet and greets, etc...once the phone interview and home check have been done. Gas donations always appreciated!

************* Please no calls to the rescue. No one is available to take calls. ************

If the CAT/KITTEN is still listed (meaning here or other websites) they are still available. It does not mean they don't have other pending applications or meet and greets.

Please note: Just because you fill out an application and are approved does not obligate you to adopt the cat/kitten. If he or she is not a fit...we have plenty of other cats / kittens available for adoption.

We are a SMALL rescue based out of Hemet, California. We are all volunteers that run the rescue. If we haven't reached out....be patient.

SNICKERDOODLE is ALREADY fully vetted. The adoption fee of $250 covers:

Neuter FVRCP shots RABIES shot FELV/FIV test (Negative/Negative) Drontal Dewormer Stronghold Flea Control Microchip

We are NOT a government FUNDED shelter and all our donations and adoption fees are for our rescued cats/kittens. So, we do not do DISCOUNTS.

If for some unfortunate reason you missed out on the kitten/cat you emailed about...I'm sure that we could help you with another rescue baby! Just ask!

If you have any questions not covered here, please feel free to email us:
