Meet SHANDRA
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.
One of our previous fosters found a mama cat and her 4 kittens eating out of the dumpster at her work site in < Hemet, California. Before trapping them, she reached out if we cold help her. We agreed if she would foster.
We had the mama cat scheduled to be fixed. The day before she was due to get fixed, she had a second litter. So apparently she was pregnant before she was trapped. So now her 1st set of kittens are ready for adoption. SHANDRA and her 3 siblings (JACE - AJANI - LILI) are now ready for to to their own FUREVER homes!
Meet Shandra, a sensitive and spirited Caliby (also known as a Tabico) from Hemet, California, whose shy heart is waiting for just the right calm, loving home to help her blossom. With her beautiful blend of calico patches and tabby stripes, SHANDRA is truly one of a kind—inside and out.
SHANDRA may be the last of her litter, but she’s far from being left behind. She’s a unique little soul who’s simply taking the world at her own pace. Right now, she’s still unsure of all the hustle and bustle life can bring. Quick movements or unfamiliar surroundings might send her into hiding, and she sometimes communicates her fear with a hiss—but this is just her way of saying, “Please go slow with me.”
Despite her cautious nature, there’s a playful little spark inside her. Offer her a Churu treat, and you’ll see a different side of SHANDRA—the curious flick of her tail, the tentative paw reaching out, the quiet joy in the safety of a gentle moment. And yes, she will play! It may take a while for her to come out of her shell, but with time, trust, and tenderness, her inner kitten shines through.
SHANDRA needs a calm, quiet home—one without children, loud noises, or too many surprises. She would do well with a confident, kind, and cat-savvy feline companion who’s not pushy or dominant, but rather a gentle guide to help show her that the world isn’t so scary. She’s not looking for instant best friends—just someone willing to meet her where she is.
She’s not the cat who’ll greet you at the door right away—but with patience and love, she may just become the quiet shadow curled near your feet, or the purring presence beside you on a quiet afternoon.
Could your heart be the safe harbor SHANDRA needs? If you're ready to offer patience, peace, and unconditional care, please apply at Workinwhiskers.com.
SHANDRA is waiting for someone special—could it be you?
SHANDRA is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR/ CALIBY or TABICO. She is about 1 year 2 months old and is good with cats. In her foster home, she was around other kittens and her mom. She has never been around children or dogs.
SHANDRA is currently at PETSMART *** 25290 Madison Ave, Murrieta, CA 92562 ***
