Story
We MUST NOT let this mother and FOUR NEWBORN kittens be put back onto the streets! Mom is a SUPER FRIENDLY Calico Sweetheart- kittens were born last week (neighbor took the pregnant Mom indoors to be safe but cannot keep them there!) These four tiny babies are still WITH MOM, we need a FOSTER HOME for the four kittens WITH the Calico Mom! If you have a GUEST room or other SAFE SPACE where Mom can raise her babies, YOU get to PLAY WITH THE KITTENS and help socialize them, then YOU may be considered to adopt the PICK OF THE LITTER (Preferably two, of course, because kittens are best in pairs!) ACT FAST! With all of the RAIN COMING for the rest of the week its CRITICAL that these babies dont go back into the street! HELP! Please respond with a PHONE NUMBER and schedule a SPECIFIC TIME WINDOW to chat so we can expedite your application and SAVE THEIR LIVES!

Story
Kiki is a loving, curious, playful kitty who is looking for her forever home. She enjoys her toys, treats and watching the birds and insects from the window. She is good with older children and teens. We are not sure how she will be with dogs, but she will want to be the only cat in the house. She loves Lasers, springs and catnip toys. She also likes wand toys as well. Kiki takes a little time to warm up, so she needs a gentle, patient owner who will allow her space and security.

These cats are in Carlsbad, California too!

Story
All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, shots current (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies where applicable), dewormed, flea and tick treated, and microchipped.  * If you are interested in a dog, please first read the biography on the dog (keep scrolling down for the bio!) and then go to our website, www.dpsrescue.com for an application. Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Mutt and Jeff are two bonded kitties that we rescued from a horrible situation. They were living in a small pet carrier for over a year when we rescued them from a hoarding situation. They have been decompressing for a couple of months with us in one of our amazing foster homes and it has been a labor of love but now it is time for them to find their forever humans. They are approximately 2 years old and we have promised them that the rest of their lives they will be surrounded by love and affection. Mutt is the cream and white boy and he is still quite shy, but every day we see him healing more and more. He had a very broken spirit when he first came to us but now his foster mom can hold him in her lap and he is thoroughly enjoying all the love he is receiving. When he is not in her lap he is usually sleeping in his plush bed or in a cubbie in the cat tree. Jeff has a solid cream coat and has become very social and has a huge purr. He loves to play and enjoys pets and kisses from his foster mom. He definitely is the more outgoing of the two and will be the first one to seek out attention. We want to place them together because they are very bonded, especially because of the ordeal they survived. We are hoping that someone will see their story and want to give these two wonderful boys a chance at the life they deserve! They have been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Their adoption fee together is $250. Apply to adopt these two special kitties today!May 5, 2025, 5:02 pm

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Our Pasta kittens are the most fun-loving 6 month old bunch of boys you will ever meet. They are also sweet and funny and will bring joy and laughter to any home. They can be adopted individually or in a bonded pair. They could also join a home with a resident cat, cat savvy dog, and children. Here are some individual characteristics about each of them. Macaroni - He is the master of mischief. He often mistakes the paper towel roll for his personal playground and sets out in creating the world's largest confetti pile. He is very friendly and is sure to keep you entertained with his antics. If you're looking for a kitty to add a touch of hilarity to your life, Macaroni's your guy. He promises to keep the paper towel shredding to a minimum in his new home.  Penne - His elegant tuxedo coat makes him a real looker. He is Macaroni's partner in crime. Yep, he is a paper towel shredder too, but he is also the feline embodiment of friendliness, cuddliness, and loyalty. He has an adventurous spirit, and his antics are sure to bring laughter and joy to your daily life. He loves to be held and doted on. Tortellini - He is full of curiosity and intelligence. He has a quick mind and is always at work, solving puzzles and exploring his surroundings. He's also an expert at finding the coziest and strangest spots for a catnap. His intelligence makes him a quick learner, easily adapting to new environments and situations.  They have been neutered, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, dewormed, flea treated and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $200 each or $375 for a pair. Adopt one (or two) of these special boys and enjoy a lifetime of pasta-filled adventures!November 2, 2025, 1:21 pm
