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. BOBO DEL REY and 12 other relatives of his were all dumped at a church in Whittier, California. These poor babies were left in the sun in a total of two carriers in front of a church. Needless to say, the rescue mama set course that day to pick them up. It took us 2 days to get them all to the rescue and to foster care. So BOBO DEL REY (named after the show: WYNONNA EARP) we believe was kept very well by whomever abandoned them. With all the tragedy that has happened to this young boy and his family, he deserves to have a wonderful home. He is now been living a nice pampered life. But let him tell you all about himself! Hello, I'm BOBO DEL REY. I'm a bundle of paradoxes. I can be shy, but I'm brave when it counts. I'm independent, yet I love a good cuddle. I'm mellow, but my goofy antics will make you laugh. I'm curious about the world around me, always ready to explore. I'm sassy, feisty, and have a playful streak.  My intelligence is undeniable, I'm a quick learner and I love to play games that challenge me. Despite my diverse range of traits, I'm a simple cat at heart. I just want a home where I can be myself, a place where my unique personality can shine. Adopt me, and I promise to keep you entertained, comforted, and loved.   BOBO DEL REY is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / EGYPTIAN MAU-TABBY MIX.  He is 1 year 8 months old and is good with cats. He has never been around young children. But he does seem very curious about dogs. Look at his video!   BOBO DEL REY is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1.
