Story
This beautiful, playful girl likes to take her time getting to know new people. But once you've earned her trust, you've gained a loyal companion who will curl up beside you on the couch, snuggle with you in bed, and happily follow you from room to room. The love she gives is genuine, and it's absolutely worth the wait. Kiki has a funny, quirky personality that will make you laugh every day. She loves chasing laser pointers, springs, catnip toys, and wand toys with kitten-like enthusiasm. When playtime is over, you'll usually find her perched on her cat tree watching birds and insects—or relaxing in one of her favorite places... the bathroom sink! (Yes, really!) She also has one adorable little quirk: Kiki has a soft spot for men and often forms an instant connection with them. No one knows why, but it's part of her unique charm. Kiki would thrive in a calm, quiet home where she can feel safe and loved. She'd be happiest as your one-and-only pet, though she may do well with a young, playful kitten after slow introductions. Because she's a bit shy, an adult-only home would likely be her perfect match. Kiki is currently living with a foster family who knows just how wonderful she is. They're waiting for the right person to discover what they already know—that beneath her shy exterior is an incredibly sweet, affectionate cat just waiting to give her heart to someone special. Could that someone be you? If you'd like to meet Kiki or learn more about adopting her, please complete an adoption application at: https://kittenrescuelife.org/adopt Kiki has been waiting patiently for her forever home. Maybe she's been waiting for you. 🐾

Story
I got jack when she was just a kitten from a lady in Mexico. She has been with my family and I for over a year we love her but due to landlord issues we are unable to keep her. I am in the process of trying to move but it is taking longer than expected. I would love to keep her for my family and I but right now I am just unable to. She is a great kitty! She loves to talk and she will tell you exactly how she is feeling! She is great with kids. I have three boys two are special needs and they are rough with her she can take it for the most part but sometimes she will swat them but with good reason! She is so sweet and I’m sure she will adapt to any new family. She might cry for a bit because she is extremely vocal but I’m sure with a loving environment she will get used to it. She does not like dogs though after she got spayed she just can not stand the sight of them and she will attack.

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.    Warning: Your House Will Never Be the Same At just 13 weeks old, the Peninsula Litter has already mastered the art of being kittens. Some kittens spend their days quietly napping in a sunbeam. These are not those kittens. The Peninsula Litter believes every shoelace is a snake that must be defeated. Every cardboard box is a luxury condo. Every paper bag is an amusement park. They can turn a crumpled receipt into a 30-minute sporting event, race through the house at warp speed for absolutely no reason, then collapse in a tiny pile as if they have just completed an Olympic marathon. Five minutes later, they do it all again. If you've ever laughed while a kitten proudly carried a toy twice their size through the house at 2:00 a.m., found yourself applauding an impossible leap from the couch to the cat tree, or wondered why there was suddenly a kitten hanging halfway out of a laundry basket, you already understand the magic of this age. These four siblings—Mateo, Foster, Carlos, and Clara—are exactly what kittens should be: curious, fearless, playful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining. They've been raised in loving foster homes where they've been well socialized from the very beginning. They've been exposed to dogs and other cats and would do wonderfully in a home with respectful children. They're confident little explorers who settle in quickly because people have always been part of their world. Whether you live in a downtown apartment, a cozy condo, or a house with room to roam, these kittens aren't looking for square footage. They're looking for someone who will laugh when they steal a sock, smile when they chase invisible 'monsters' across the living room, and happily make room for a warm little body curled up beside them at the end of the day. Picture coming home from work and being greeted by tiny paws racing to the door. Imagine making your morning coffee while a curious kitten supervises from the nearest chair. Picture movie nights with a purring kitten asleep in your lap, or lazy Sunday mornings when the biggest decision is whether to chase a toy mouse or curl up in a sunny window for a nap. Before long, you'll wonder how your home ever felt complete without them. Because kittens almost always do better with another playful feline companion, we'd especially love to see two of these siblings continue growing up together. Mateo and Foster are the very best of friends. They currently live together, play together, wrestle together, and often end the day curled up side by side. We'd absolutely love to see them continue their adventures in the same home. Carlos and Clara are another wonderful pair we'd love to see adopted together as they live together now. They complement each other beautifully and make a fantastic duo. These pairings are not requirements, and we'll always choose the home that is the best fit for each kitten. However, if we have two equally qualified applicants and one family is interested in adopting one of these pairs together, that family will receive priority. If you're looking for laughter, companionship, endless entertainment, and tiny best friends who will quickly become cherished members of your family, the Peninsula Litter is ready to fill your home with love, purrs, and just the right amount of kitten mischief. We can't wait for you to meet them.They have all been spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350 for the pair or $200 per kitten. . August 30, 2026, 5:05 pm

Jinny is a sweet, social, and snuggly kitten who loves cuddles, chasing balls, and napping in a pile with her sister Jan. She also has a soft spot for socks, enjoys watching TV, and loves exploring every corner she can find. She has bilateral vestibular syndrome, so she’s a little wobbly and uncoordinated, but it only adds to her charm! She is super lovable and thrives on affection and playtime. Jinny would love to go home with her look-alike sister Jan, or any friendly furry companion. If you have love to give, Jinny has cuddles to spare!

Meet Toulouse! This handsome Siamese point kitten has striking blue eyes and a sweet, social personality. Toulouse loves people and gets along great with other cats. His foster home has active dogs that are a bit much for him, but he does fine meeting dogs through a baby gate. He’d likely do best with a calmer, more laid-back dog. Toulouse has a whole lot of love to give and is ready to find his forever home!
