Story
Kahlua (Lua) is the most unique cat I have ever met. She is loyal and loving while also being strong willed and independent. She is particular, in that she likes a quiet, slow pace, unchanging living environment. As a family with 2 young kids we are not able to provide the home environment ideal for her. This has lead to some current behavior issues which I believe will resolve when she’s in a new home. Lua is 9 years old and still full of life and energy. Her ideal next owner would be a cat loving individual who does not have young children and can give her the time and attention she needs. Lua needs a quiet, predictable home to thrive in, ideally with no other cats as well. I’m so sad to see Lua go, but I know a different environment will be less stress on her.

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 5 months 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. . October 8, 2026, 11:46 pm

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.  Sometimes life changes in ways our pets have no say in. Tom and Miki came to DPS after their owner had to move out of the country and was unable to take them along. They have been together since they were kittens, but they do not have to be adopted together. We are happy to place them separately in the right homes, or they can stay together if someone has room in their heart for two. Tom is a 3 year old Turkish Van mix who is basically a professional people person. He loves his humans and wants to be right where you are, preferably supervising whatever it is you’re doing. Curious, affectionate, and happiest when he’s beside his person, Tom is the kind of cat who wants to be part of the action rather than watching it from across the room. Miki is Tom’s 3-year-old calico sister, and her markings are absolutely one of a kind. The transition to a new home has been harder on her, so she’s taking her time adjusting. She’s been coming around beautifully in her foster home and has discovered that lounging in her cat tree is a pretty good way to spend the day. She is gentle and sweet with her humans and loves playing with toys. Miki also has a little hidden talent: she’s a mouser. Both cats are indoor cats, but when an unexpected mouse made its way into their former home, Miki apparently decided she had been hired for pest control. Problem solved. Tom and Miki would make wonderful companions, together or separately, for the right home. Tom is likely to be your shadow, while Miki may take a little more time to feel completely comfortable—but once she does, you’ll have a sweet, playful girl who knows how to enjoy the good life. Sometimes the hardest part of rescue is helping animals understand that a change in circumstances doesn’t mean they’ve lost their chance at a happy ending. We think Tom and Miki are both ready for theirs. 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.  October 8, 2026, 11:46 pm

Pearl has dental disease and will need a follow-up visit with a veterinarian to help keep her smile bright. If you think Pearl could be a good fit for your home, come meet her today!

How this pet arrived: Shylo was brought in by their previous owner on September 15, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Shylo! Shylo is a sweet, easygoing girl who appreciates the simple pleasures in life: a warm sunbeam, a peaceful room and the occasional high-speed chase after a favorite string toy. She has a wonderfully independent personality, making her the perfect match if you love having a quiet companion lounging nearby while you work, read, or unwind. She flourishes in a calm, predictable environment and would love to be the only pet soaking up your attention. A relaxed household with adults or older kids (12+) fits her gentle vibe best. Like most of us, moving to a brand-new place can feel a little overwhelming at first. With a patient hand, a quiet spot to start out and a steady daily routine, she will easily get her bearings and settle into a great litter box groove. Ready to meet Shylo? Don't forget a sturdy secure carrier for her ride home. At SDHS:Shylo has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for her new home!

How this pet arrived: Gigi and Hewo were brought in by their previous owner on August 28, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Gigi and Hewo! This bonded pair is looking for a quiet home where they can relax and take their time getting comfortable. They're both shy, so a calm space and a patient adopter will help them settle in. Gigi enjoys attention but prefers to keep her belly to herself. Hewo gets along well with other cats and may take a little time to warm up. As they become more comfortable, they'll show you their sweet personalities and may even curl up nearby for a nap. A small, quiet room to start, along with cozy cat trees and sunny windows, would help them adjust. If Gigi and Hewo sound like the right pair for you, come meet them today-and don't forget two hard-sided carriers for their ride home!Shy/Fearful Cat:  Gigi and Hewo require a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.
