Handsome boy in search of his forever home!

DAL NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!

Currently Living at: Foster in the DC Area 

I am Looking For: My loving forever family! Hi! I'm Dal, and I am a cute little kitten! I won’t ask for much- just some love, cuddles and lots of toys so I can run and play and be my kitten self. 

 

What my Foster Says About Me:  

Dal is a quiet, thoughtful kitten whose love shows up softly — and then stays. His personality has taken a little time to unfold, and now that it has, it’s clear he’s a truly special little soul. He is sweet, sensitive, and deeply affectionate once he feels safe.

Dal can startle at loud or sudden noises and may scatter briefly, but what matters most is what comes next: he returns. He reaches out a paw. He looks for connection. One of his most endearing traits is his “silent meow” — if you lock eyes with him and silently open your mouth like you’re going to meow, he’ll do it right back. It’s his quiet greeting, his way of saying hello, and his gentle request to be picked up and loved.

He’s still very much a kitten, so he’s not a lap cat yet, but he nuzzles right in when held and relaxes into calm affection. He enjoys playtime, explores with curiosity, and continues to gain confidence each day — all at his own thoughtful pace.

Dal has been introduced to other cats and has done well, though he benefits from slower introductions and time to bond. He would thrive best in a quieter household — one with gentle energy rather than constant chaos. A calm family, a couple, or a home with respectful children or a baby would be an excellent fit. While any kitten can adapt, Dal will shine most in an environment that values patience and calm connection.

Dal is an incredibly loving kitten with a gentle heart. Given time and kindness, he will form a deep, loyal bond and become a devoted companion.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption process begins when you submit an adoption application either online or at an adoption event. The individual responsible for the dog you are interested in adopting - a position we call the “adoption coordinator” - will then set up a time to discuss your application over the telephone. The adoption coordinator will check your vet reference to make sure all current and past pets were kept up-to-date with their shots and medical care. The adoption coordinator will also set up a home visit with one of our trained volunteers. That individual will come to your home to ensure that it is a safe environment, to confirm that everyone in the home is on board with adopting a dog, and to discuss any other questions you may have about dog adoption!

Go meet their pets

Our adoption events are held each weekend. A schedule of times and locations can be found at www.luckydoganimalrescue.org.
