My story

Xena has a special story, making her way in life, not receiving the care and understanding she needed. She originally belonged to a family with a busy home with children. She was not spayed by the family. She was allowed to go in and out of the house (despite the dangers of outdoor life). Of course, she turned up pregnant and birthed her 4 kittens in the home. When the kittens were 4 weeks old, the family ejected her and 3 of her babies onto the lawn in the middle of summer with no protection, because the babies were still learning to use the litter box, and they didn't want to tolerate this phase. Xena and kittens were fostered together until the kittens were old enough to get spayed and neutered and have all found homes.  Mama Xena is also scheduled to be spayed.  It is now her turn to find a home that will love her unconditionally. We think she's had a hard life, and enjoys the comforts of being in a home receiving love and companionship from people. She shows no interest in returning to a life of running around outside. Xena is a delightful, curious, calm, and affectionate cat. Please complete the link below to be contacted to schedule a meet and greet.   * * * * * Adoption Application here All adoptions include: spay/neuter, FVRCP vaccination (core feline vaccine), rabies vaccination (if old enough), FIV/FeLV test, deworming, microchipping, an initial complimentary veterinary examination at a specified veterinary practice. To help support our mission, we suggest a  donation of: - Kittens  1 year                      $89 - Adult    1 year - 10 years       $75 - Senior 10 years+                    $0 REQUIREMENTS: Unless specifically indicated, INDOOR pets only and NO declawing - all of our cats and kittens use a variety of scratching posts and other scratching devices. Please note, we often get multiple applications for the same cat or kitten. Unless there are over-riding constraints or requirements, e.g., one of a bonded pair, we always give priority to the order in which we receive a completed application (first qualified, first served). ForeverMeow is a 501(c)(3) non-profit cat rescue, registered with the California State Attorney General. ForeverMeow is a certified adoption partner of: Riverside County Department of Animal Services, Petco Foundation, and a Best Friends Network Partner.       Nearly all of our cats & kittens are rescued from Coachella Valley shelters, or to avoid them from entering the shelter. Since 2012, we have rescued over 2,000 cats and kittens.    September 6, 2025, 6:18 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Xena, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
