Pixie is a female 7 year old American short hair cat. She grew up together with her sibling Marley. She and Marley do not have any behavior issue. I want to find them a new home because my new baby is sensitive to cat hairs. I can provide all pet supplies including a robot litter box. Please give them a happy life.

Story
Pootie is a very friendly, 5 year old male cat that we are hoping to rehome. Due to our busy work schedules and 2 young children (toddler and infant), we are unable to provide the attention that our cat deserves. We are hoping to find him a forever home as he is a very sweet cat. Has never hurt either of the small children, even if they can be rough with him at times. Loves pets and is affectionate. Would fit right into a family who has someone with more time on their hands to give him the love that he deserves. He has been an indoor cat only.

Nyx is about 4 months old. She was living in the park with her siblings and mother. She has a 4 month old sister that looks just like her. She's very sweet, friendly and isn't afraid of people or other animals. My hope is that someone will adopt her that loves cats and will give her a wonderful home. Nyx will be spayed and given first set of vaccinations that are scheduled in March. My hope is that she and her sister Echo would be adopted together.

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.Meet Darcy, a charming 7 year old guy with a heart as big as his personality. Darcy's sweet nature is immediately apparent; he's the type of cat who will greet you with a friendly meow and a purr. His loyalty knows no bounds, and he's always there to offer comfort and companionship. If you are looking for a tall, dark, and handsome guy that wakes you up at 3am for attention, Mr. Darcy will consider your adoption proposal. His nonchalance quickly evaporates around mealtimes, and he will gladly cuddle with a warm blanket and a good book. Mr. Darcy requires a large space for brooding and a single-pet household because he would love to be the center of all your attention. He's a vocal kitty, communicating his thoughts and feelings openly. His delightful personality makes him a joy to be around. He is not super playful but will bat the occasional toy mice around when the mood strikes him. He loves to get daily pets from his humans and enjoys snuggling up at night with them in bed. Black cats are often overlooked at the shelter, but they have proven to have the absolute best personalities, and Darcy certainly does. He is a fabulous boy. Adopt Mr. Darcy and gain a friend for life. He has been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, dewormed, flea treated and microchipped. His adoption fee is $150.March 7, 2026, 12:03 pm
