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 31, 2026, 6:15 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 31, 2026, 6:15 pm

Story
How this pet arrived: Aldol was transferred in from Hawaii's Kauai Humane Society on October 13th, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet your friendly pal Aldol! He and his brother, Self (#1009568), are a sweet pair looking for a quiet home where they can settle in at their own pace. A calm and welcoming household is essential for helping them feel safe and relaxed. For both of them, initial confinement to a small room while they acclimate to their new environment is the true key to success. Starting out in a cozy, dedicated room gives Aldol and Self a secure homebase to decompress together, learn daily routines, and build their confidence side by side before gradually exploring the rest of the house. They are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. Where one goes the other is quick to follow. Having his brother right by his side gives Aldol the courage he needs to navigate new surroundings, making them a wonderfully devoted team. When you are ready to welcome these best of friends home, please remember to bring two carriers for their big adoption day.

How this pet arrived:Nevada was brought into care by a Humane Law Enforcement on October 11th, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Introducing Nevada! This beautiful gal is looking for a home where she will truly be the center of your world, and she would prefer to be the only cat. To make sure she gets off to a great start, initial confinement is the key to success to help her acclimate at a calm, comfortable pace. Setting her up with a quiet starter room of her own will give her the space and security she needs to build confidence and settle into her new surroundings.Once settled, Nevada is all about enjoying the good life, filling your days with bright sunbeams, tasty cat treats, and plenty of fun. She cannot wait to soak up your undivided attention and bring her playful charm to a home of her very own. If you are ready to make Nevada your number one companion, please remember to bring a top-loading cat carrier for her big adoption day to ensure a safe and smooth journey home.

How this pet arrived:Stella was brought in by a community member on September 13, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Say hello to Pluto #1006415 and Stella #1006414, a delightful bonded pair ready to bring double the love to a calm, welcoming home! While they can be a bit shy in new surroundings, they both warm up over time and enjoy affection! Stella is often the first to solicit attention and head scratches, while Pluto is happiest hanging out and observing the world from his cat tree. These devoted siblings are an inseparable team who give each other confidence and may do well with even more fellow feline companions! They can be a little sensitive around too much hustle and bustle, so would do best in a home without young kids (6+). Both kitties have some ongoing medical concerns that will require a little extra TLC, but they will gladly repay your care with quiet companionship and devotion. If you are ready to open your heart to this precious duo, please remember to bring two carriers for their big adoption day! At SDHS:Stella has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for adoption! Primary Color: Blue Cream Tortoiseshell Secondary Color: White Weight: 9.18 Age: 5yrs 1mths 2wks
