Tiny is 14 weeks old and, well… the name is extremely accurate. She is about half the size you’d expect for her age, but before you start worrying, her veterinarian has given her a clean bill of health. She’s healthy, happy and apparently just decided that being pocket-sized was the way to go. And don't let her tiny little body fool you. Tiny is fearless. This girl has confidence that some cats twice her size could only dream about. She loves people, loves other animals and thinks absolutely everything deserves to be investigated. Nothing seems to intimidate her. Not new surroundings. Not new people. Not other animals. And certainly not the 100-pound German Shepherd currently living in her foster home. Most kittens would take one look at a dog that size and think, 'Perhaps I'll stay over here.' Tiny's response? 'Oh! Hi! You're huge! Wanna be friends?' She will walk right up to him without a hint of hesitation, completely unaware that she is approximately the size of one of his paws. She is endlessly curious, loves to explore and seems determined to personally inspect every corner of her world. Tiny was rescued by one of our volunteers from a human homeless encampment, and watching her blossom into this confident, playful little kitten is pretty remarkable. Whatever her start in life looked like, Tiny has clearly decided that her future is going to be fun. She would fit beautifully into just about any home dynamic. A family, a couple, a single person, a home with other cats or a home with a friendly dog. Tiny isn't looking for a particular lifestyle. She just wants people and animals to love, things to explore and a whole lot of life to experience. She may be tiny enough to fit almost anywhere, but we're pretty sure she'll find a way to take up an enormous amount of space in your heart. Tiny: approximately 50% kitten by size, 100% kitten by energy, and approximately 900% confidence. All kittens have all been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350 for the pair or $200 per kitten. September 21, 2026, 1:09 am

Orion Is Waiting. Some cats dream of climbing to the top of the cat tree. Orion assumes that's where he belongs. Named after one of the most recognizable constellations in the night sky, Orion is a 1 year old Bombay mix who seems determined to spend as much time as possible up where the stars live. If there's a bookshelf to conquer, a high windowsill to supervise from, or the very top perch of a cat tree available, you'll probably find Orion there—looking down at his kingdom like the handsome little king he is. But don't let his lofty ambitions fool you. This boy is equal parts athlete, comedian, and cuddle bug. If you've never witnessed feline parkour, Orion would be delighted to provide a live demonstration. One minute he's quietly watching a toy... The next he's launching into the air, bouncing off furniture with Olympic-level precision, twisting, turning, and somehow landing perfectly every single time. We're honestly considering submitting his audition for the next action movie. His favorite prey? Wand toys. Springs. The occasional bug that accidentally wandered into the house and immediately regretted its life choices. Nothing escapes Orion's attention when he's in hunting mode. Of course, every superhero needs downtime. After a busy day of acrobatics, Orion transforms into an affectionate sweetheart who loves being with his people. One of his favorite little quirks is burrowing under blankets, where he creates his own cozy hideaway before drifting off to sleep. If you ever can't find him, don't panic. Check under the covers. There's a very good chance you'll discover one happy little cat tucked in like a burrito. Orion is wonderfully social and has the kind of easygoing personality that fits beautifully into many different homes.  He would also do well with another friendly cat, a cat-savvy dog, or respectful children. Orion approaches life with confidence, curiosity, and a genuine love for being part of the family. If Orion could write his own wish list, it would be refreshingly simple: A tall cat tree. Very tall. Maybe taller. A basket full of wand toys and springs. A few soft blankets for his famous burrowing sessions. A sunny window where he can keep an eye on the birds. And people who occasionally applaud his athletic performances. (Trust us...they're impressive.) Imagine laughing as Orion launches into another gravity-defying leap after a feather wand. Imagine finding a mysterious lump under your comforter, only to discover it's your favorite little blanket-loving buddy. Imagine looking up at the highest shelf in the room and realizing, once again, Orion somehow got there before you even noticed. Some cats fill your lap. Orion fills your home with adventure, laughter, and just a little bit of stardust. Orion has been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $150. If you're looking for a cat who's equal parts acrobat, explorer, comedian, and cuddle companion, Orion is ready to become the brightest star in your home.  September 21, 2026, 1:09 am

Story
* To be considered for a meet/adoption, please read the full biography to see whether they may be a good fit for your home, then submit an online application at www.dpsrescue.org.     Meet the Café Con Leche Kittens  Four tiny cups of trouble, sweetness, and caffeine-fueled kitten chaos Some kittens are sweet. Some are playful. Some are cuddly. And then there is the Café Con Leche crew, where apparently someone decided that the perfect recipe for four kittens was to combine equal parts sugar, mischief, personality, and absolutely no regard for personal space. These four 4 month old siblings are currently in Southern California and are ready to bring a little café con leche magic into their forever homes. Imagine coming home after a long day, putting your feet up, and having one of these little characters race across the room, launch themselves onto the couch, demand attention, steal a toy, climb into your lap, or curl up beside you for a nap. Basically, you're not adopting a kitten. You're opening a very small, very furry café. And there will be no closing time. COOKIE BUTTER Cookie Butter is proof that someone can, in fact, be shaped like a cookie. This handsome boy absolutely lives up to his name. His belly is round, soft, and looks remarkably like someone took a perfectly baked cookie and turned it into a kitten. Cookie Butter loves playing with his three sisters, chasing toys, and generally participating in whatever kitten nonsense is happening around him. He does, however, have one important rule: The toys are HIS. You may have purchased them. You may have paid for them. You may have lovingly placed them in a basket. But Cookie Butter has reviewed the situation and determined that ownership has been transferred. He is also a professional napper and very much appreciates a good belly rub. So after he has finished his regularly scheduled kitten activities, he'll happily flop down and enjoy some quality relaxation. Picture Cookie Butter in your home: racing through the living room with a toy, wrestling with his siblings, suddenly realizing he has exhausted himself, and then collapsing somewhere comfortable with his adorable round cookie belly on full display. He's sweet, he's silly, he's cuddly, and he's basically a cookie with legs. HONEY Honey would like to speak to management. Actually, Honey would like to speak to YOU. The moment you make eye contact with this girl, she starts demanding pets. Not subtly. Not politely. Not with a gentle little “excuse me.” Demanding. Because Honey has determined that eye contact is a legally binding agreement that you will now pet her. And frankly, she's probably right. Honey absolutely loves attention and has already decided that she will be Queen of the House. She loves being with her brother and sisters and can usually be found doing one of two things: Play fighting or napping. There is apparently no third option. She also lives up to her name in the sweetest possible way. Once you pick her up, she just melts into your arms. Imagine coming home after a long day and having Honey race over to greet you, demand that you acknowledge her royal presence, and then melt against you while you hold her. Congratulations. You have been chosen. Honey isn't going to be your cat. You're going to be Honey's human. LAVENDER If your ideal cat is one who believes the entire house is an obstacle course designed specifically for her, allow us to introduce you to Lavender. Her foster family calls her a ninja, and we are not about to argue with people who have witnessed her in action. Lavender bounces off walls. She parkours. She launches. She explores. She apparently believes gravity is merely a suggestion. And somehow, in between all of that, she manages to be an incredibly social little girl who gets comfortable in new environments fairly quickly. Her one request? Provide toys. Lots of toys. Because Lavender has places to go, things to investigate, furniture to conquer, and possibly a wall to bounce off of. Picture bringing Lavender home and watching her immediately begin mapping out her new kingdom. Five minutes later, she's discovered the couch. Ten minutes later, she's discovered the hallway. Fifteen minutes later, you're wondering how she got on top of something you didn't even know was climbable. And then, just when you're convinced you've adopted a tiny furry stunt performer, she curls up beside you like nothing happened. Lavender is adventure, entertainment, and affection all rolled into one very cute little package. TIRAMISU Every café needs something sweet and comforting, and that is exactly where Tiramisu comes in. This beautiful girl is the soft, sweet one who likes to take a little time to check things out before deciding that everything is okay. Tiramisu can be cautious when she first enters a new space. She likes to look around, take everything in, and make sure she understands the situation before fully committing to the fun. But give her a little time and watch her blossom. Once she settles in, you'll discover a girl who loves belly rubs, being held, and playing with her toys. She's the kitten who may spend the first day quietly investigating her new home... ...and then suddenly you're holding her in your arms wondering when exactly she became completely comfortable with you. Imagine Tiramisu curled up beside you while you watch television, eventually climbing into your lap for some attention, or happily batting around a toy before settling down for a nap. She isn't in a hurry. She's just waiting until she's sure she's home. And once she decides she is? You're going to get the sweetest Tiramisu imaginable. YOUR VERY OWN CAFÉ CON LECHE These four kittens would make an absolutely hilarious addition to a home because each one brings a completely different personality to the table. Cookie Butter is the round-bellied toy hoarder and professional napper. Honey is the demanding little queen who screams for pets and then melts into your arms. Lavender is the ninja parkour champion who believes walls are perfectly acceptable launching pads. And Tiramisu is the sweet girl who takes her time, then blossoms into a loving lap kitten. Can you imagine them in your home? A kitten racing through the hallway while another attacks a toy. Someone yelling from the other room because apparently pets have not been administered quickly enough. A tiny ninja flying off the couch. A kitten curled up on your lap while you watch TV. Four little personalities following you around the house, greeting you when you come home, entertaining you when you're bored, and eventually collapsing into a pile of sleepy kittens after exhausting themselves. That's life with the Café Con Leche crew. They're not just kittens. They're four tiny reasons to smile every single day. All four kittens are located in Southern California and are ready to find their forever families. Adoption Information:All kittens have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Adoption fee: $200 for one kitten or $350 for a pair. And while you technically can adopt just one... we're pretty sure two cups of Café Con Leche are better than one.   September 21, 2026, 1:09 am

He is not a Bombay, but looks very similar and will have a body shape that is lean and lithe. He is so friendly and affectionate and will immediately start purring the minute you pet him. He is definitely a cuddle bug! He would be happy to be adopted on his own or be a wonderful addition to an existing fur-family. Salem is an orphan whose Momma was hit by a car. But, after joining a different litter of kittens he has adjusted well. All of our kittens are looking for a loving, safe, and forever home.

Knight was born in 2019 and is a very sweet guy who loves to have his chin and neck scratched. He wants a home where he can chill and be loved in a peaceful environment. He is patient with other cats, dogs, and people as long as you don't make super loud noises right next to his face. He has FIV but can live a long happy life.

Story
Bella is 11 years old, in good health, and is currently in Encinitas (San Diego County). She has been an indoor/outdoor cat all her life and needs unrestricted access to a balcony/patio/yard to sit outside. She's looking for someone who doesn't have other cats or dogs. Bella loves back scratches and kisses on her forehead. I'm moving out of the country in mid-October, so time is of the essence.
