CAPTAIN JESSICA CORTEZ

My story

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. CAPTAIN JESSICA CORTEZ and her siblings (SERGEANT DANIEL "HONDO" HARRELSON, OFFICER JIM STREET, OFFICER DOMINIQUE LUCA and OFFICER CHRIS ALONSO) were found in a lady's back yard in San Jacinto, California. We were working on helping her fix all the ferals and keeping the kittens to socialize them. She ended up catching these guys and we brough them to the rescue. We named them all after the show S.W.A.T Now she's ready for her new home! Meet CAPTAIN JESSICA CORTEZ, a delightful tortoiseshell cat from San Jacinto, California, whose personality is as multifaceted as her beautiful coat. With her playful, curious, and sassy nature, CAPTAIN JESSICA CORTEZ is always ready to bring a little extra charm to your life—when she feels like it, of course. Though she’s a bit shy at first, once CAPTAIN JESSICA CORTEZ gets comfortable, you’ll see her sweet side shine. She has a gentle demeanor, though she's also known for her independent streak. CAPTAIN JESSICA CORTEZ is happiest when she can observe her surroundings quietly from a cozy perch, giving the occasional meow when she’s in the mood for treats or wet food. Her inquisitive eyes are always watching—whether you're making dinner or simply scrolling through your phone. When it comes to playtime, CAPTAIN JESSICA CORTEZ is a fun-loving gal! She adores chasing laser pointers and pouncing on wand toys, especially when she can do so with her fellow feline friends. She's not exactly the social butterfly of the cat world, but she's a big fan of lounging close to her cat buddies for an afternoon nap, nestled up next to them as they sleep the day away. She’s more of a self-sufficient player, though, and enjoys her own time exploring or pouncing on imaginary prey. As much as she loves attention, CAPTAIN JESSICA CORTEZ isn’t fond of being picked up, preferring to keep her feet (or paws) firmly planted on the ground. She might not be the best fit for a household with young kids who want to cuddle her, but she’s absolutely ideal for a calm and observant environment with a fellow cat or two. CAPTAIN JESSICA CORTEZ needs a loving family who understands her laid-back, quirky ways and who can give her the space and respect she needs while still offering her plenty of opportunities to play and be her sweet, silly self. Could you be the one to give her the home she’s been waiting for? CAPTAIN JESSICA CORTEZ is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TORTISHELL MIX. She is about 1 year 5 months old and is good with cats. She has never been around young children and seems non-reactive to dogs. CAPTAIN JESSICA CORTEZ is currently at a foster home in Temecula, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1.
