Story
Kay gave birth in a baseball dugout, because who needs a hospital when you've got a dugout, right? It was the only safe place she could find, and at 8 months old, she was basically a baby herself. What she didn't know was that the summer heat would be unbearable in the dugout, but luckily a Good Samaritan came to her rescue. Since then, her babies have been adopted. Mama Kay is getting some much-needed rest and enjoying living indoors, playing with toys and living her best life. Kay does well with other indoor cats but is still fearful of dogs. She may learn to enjoy the company of dogs with a very slow introduction but a cat only home might be the best option for her. Kay is a petite and a bit shy but loves to curl up in your lap once she gets to know you. She would love to join a family of her own. Can she stay with you?

FeLV + Kitty needs home!!! YES these beautiful kitties have FeLV but they are not sick. They just need to be in a home with other FeLV + cats. IF you have an open home for this bonded pair they are awesome or if you know anyone with FeLV cats please share!! Meet Friday and Sunday, 7 month old male/female combo we call the dynamic duo! If you want cuddly, playful & affectionate cats, then look no further! These kitties are the definition of friendly. Friday and Sunday are bonded and would do best to remain in the same home. Although they love snuggling and playing with each other, they have their own little quirks. Sunday, the gorgeous gray kitty, loves being by her humans side as much as possibly while Friday, the beautifully patterned kitty is a bit more independent. Their personalities help make them the perfect pair!

Story
How this pet arrived: Leena was brought in by a community member on November 1, 2025.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Leena! This little kitten is still learning how to interact with the world, which means they can be a bit shy when meeting new people. The key to Leena's heart is plenty of gentle, positive interactions and lots of patience while they settle in. Leena will need to start off in a small, quiet room where they can explore at their own pace. Because they're still building confidence, Leena will need a home without young children, and they will need to be adopted either with their littermate or into a home with another cat-social cat or kitten who can help show them the ropes and provide a sense of security. Just imagine the special bond you'll create as you help this sweet kitten come out of their shell! Don't forget to bring a cat carrier for a safe ride home!Shy/Fearful Cat: Leena requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Blue Weight: 2.39 Age: 0yrs 3mths 1wks

IN FOSTER: Mies and Minnie's foster is committed to helping them find a new family! To begin the adoption process, please reach out to the foster directly at: lesliesdhsfostervolunteer@gmail.com. How this pet arrived: Mies was brought in by a community member on October 4, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Minnie #968507 and Mies #446698 (pronounced Meece) are bonded sisters who are looking for a home together! They're currently in a foster home and we have had the joy of seeing them settle in and show their sweet, gentle natures. Gentle and affectionate, they've only lived indoors in a calm, quiet home and will do best in a similar environment - they haven't ever lived with other pets or children, so a home without those things may be best. They may be shy at first, but with patience they warm up beautifully. Minnie could use a little diet and extra playtime, but both adore treats, daily brushing, wand toys, and the occasional catnip party. They're tidy girls who do best with at least two jumbo litter boxes. Most days they nap together, then in the evenings cuddle on the couch, the bed, or their kitty condos. They enjoy both wet and dry food, and "squeeze-up" treats are a favorite. If you think these sweet sisters might be the right fit, reach out about adopting today! At SDHS:Minnie has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for her new home! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 11.4 Age: 7yrs 5mths 1wks
