APRIL 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! Rescue mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old.
SIR LANCELOT and his siblings (VIOLET MORGAN - SIR PERCIVAL -KING ARTHUR - QUEEN GUINEVERE) were rescued from a HORRIBLE hoarding case in Riverside, California. We know they are all related because the horrible human woman, kept letting them mate. When the Rescue Mama found out she took action. But we know for sure that these 5 kittens are siblings.
As of APRIL 2026, 98 cats have either gone to other rescues or have been saved by us. You will know who these cats are by their names. They have all been named after the show "Once Upon A Time". Aside from the necklaces the kitties wear in their professional pictures,
Meet SIR LANCELOT: The Gentle, Shy Knight in Fluffy Armor
SIR LANCELOT may have a noble name, but he's a humble soul, full of sweetness and gentleness. This charming orange tabby may not carry the title of knight in the traditional sense, but his heart is as brave and kind as any hero’s. Rescued from a tragic hoarding case in Riverside, California, SIR LANCELOT is a survivor—a cat who has endured a tough start but still finds joy in life, love, and play.
With his bright orange coat and sturdy frame, SIR LANCELOT may seem big for his size, but don’t let his size fool you—he’s as soft and gentle as they come. His sweet, shy nature means he’s not the type to seek attention from just anyone, but once he feels safe, he’s a snuggly, loving companion who’s eager to curl up next to you for warmth and affection. His favorite place? Right by your side, where he can quietly rest and soak up your love. He likes to climb on people too.
One thing that makes SIR LANCELOT unique is the film over his eyes. Both of his eyes have a cloudy film, which a vet suspects could have been the result of a past eye infection that went untreated—or possibly something he was born with. While this doesn't slow him down one bit, it does add to his gentle nature. SIR LANCELOT may not be able to see the world with perfect clarity, but it certainly doesn’t stop him from living life to the fullest. He’s still fully able to navigate his surroundings, find his favorite toys, and play with boundless enthusiasm.
When he’s not being a cuddly lovebug, SIR LANCELOT loves to play! He’s not the most outgoing of cats, but when a toy is involved, he’s ready to pounce and play like a kitten. Whether it's chasing a feather wand or batting around a crinkle ball, Sir Lancelot brings out his playful side with joy and abandon. It's impossible not to smile watching him in action.
One of the most beautiful parts of SIR LANCELOT’s journey has been his bond with his sister, VIOLET MORGAN. They share a special connection that’s undeniable. Like SIR LANCELOT, VIOLET MORGAN also has eye scar tissue, but despite their shared challenges, they are both incredibly resilient and loving. SIR LANCELOT, and VIOLET MORGAN are like two peas in a pod—they get along famously and find comfort and companionship in each other. Their bond is heartwarming to witness, and it's clear they are meant to be together, supporting one another through life's ups and downs.
Despite his shy exterior, SIR LANCELOT is a cat who has so much love to give. He’s still learning to trust the world, but with time and patience, he’ll blossom even more. His gentle spirit, paired with his endearing playfulness and loving nature, make him an absolute treasure to anyone lucky enough to welcome him into their home.
SIR LANCELOT may not have had the easiest start, but he’s here now, ready to be part of a family that will cherish him and provide the love and care he deserves. If you're looking for a sweet, playful, and snuggly companion who comes with a heart full of love, SIR LANCELOT might just be the knight in shining fur you’ve been waiting for.
