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. CINDERELLA and several feline family members were saved from a horrific 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. As of July 2025, 78 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".

CINDERELLA is a true connoisseur of love and attention. She’s sweet as pie but can definitely hold her own when it comes to getting what she wants.

She’s playful, full of energy, and ready to be the center of attention when the moment strikes. If you’ve got treats, you’ve got her full attention—she goes absolutely wild for them!

Contribute to CINDERELLA's Stash!

100% of CINDERELLA's balance will be sent to whoever adopts CINDERELLA.
Adopt CINDERELLA and Receive CINDERELLA's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, CINDERELLA's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is CINDERELLA's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the CINDERELLA, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming CINDERELLA's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and CINDERELLA was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, CINDERELLA’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the CINDERELLA’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, CINDERELLA’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
