Critter Details

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!  JOHN NOLAN, his mom ANGELA LOPEZ and his siblings (BAILEY NUNE-LUCY CHEN-NYLA HARPER) were saved from a horrible hoarding case in Rialto, California. The rescue that was fixing all the cats reached out for us to help ANGELA LOPEZ and her kittens. Now they are all healthy and ready for a real home! Meet JOHN NOLAN, an Egyptian Mau Mackerel Tabby from Rialto, California, whose days are fueled by playful leaps, joyful pounces, and a heart full of affection just waiting to be shared. This handsome boy is the kind of cat who turns every moment into a game. Whether it’s a crinkly ball, a feather wand, or an unsuspecting dust bunny, JOHN NOLAN sees it all as fair game for a good chase. His athleticism and natural grace—classic Egyptian Mau traits—are on full display as he zips through the room with his signature spotted silver coat flashing by like a streak of mischief. He’s quick, curious, and always up for a round of hide-and-seek with his toys. But don’t let his energy fool you—JOHN NOLAN is also a total snuggle pro. After a satisfying play session, he’s more than ready to settle into your lap, purring like a tiny engine and soaking up every ounce of attention. He thrives on human connection and will make it known when it’s time for cuddles. This affectionate side, paired with his expressive eyes and gentle demeanor, makes him a truly special companion. JOHN NOLAN is wonderfully social and would enjoy the company of a home that can match his energy and offer plenty of time for bonding. He's compatible with other playful, friendly cats and would thrive in an environment that offers both stimulation and soft spaces to unwind. While he’s lively and full of fun, he’s also deeply loving—he wants nothing more than to be part of a family who will celebrate both sides of his personality. With his rare breed charm and warm heart, JOHN NOLAN is ready to bring laughter, love, and a whole lot of playtime to his new home. Could your life use a little more purr-sonality?
