PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BELOW. IT WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. If you still have questions after, we are happy to respond through email. It is a long read and a long adoption process. Please understand we are ensuring that our babies go to great homes and we don't know you personally (yet). Understand that this is an adoption of a beautiful little soul that deserves the absolute best life. DARRYL HENDERSON and her siblings (CAPTAIN JESSICA CORTEZ, SERGEANT DANIEL "HONDO" HARRELSON, OFFICER JIM STREET, OFFICER DOMINIQUE LUCA and OFFICER CHRIS ALONSO) were found in a lady's back yard in San Jacinto, California. We were working on helping her fix all the ferals and keeping the kittens to socialize them. She ended up catching these guys and we brough them to the rescue. We named them all after the show S.W.A.T Now he's ready for his new home! Meet DARRYL HENDERSON, a sweet and playful cat from San Jacinto, California whose affectionate heart and silly antics will have you smiling in no time. With his bright eyes and soft coat, DARRYL HENDERSON is a gentle soul with a personality that is as delightful as it is entertaining. At first, he might be a little shy, but once he gets comfortable, his playful and loving nature will shine through. DARRYL HENDERSON loves attention and will happily settle down next to you to make biscuits in your lap. He's the type of cat who will quietly let you know when it's time for more pets—just wait too long, and you’ll hear his adorable meow demanding more love. But don’t be fooled by his sweetness—he’s also a fun-loving goofball! DARRYL HENDERSON has an enthusiastic love for toys, and whether it’s a spring, a mouse toy, or a wand, he’ll chase it with the energy of a kitten. His playful side is sure to keep you entertained for hours, and when it's time for treats or wet food, DARRYL HENDERSON’s excitement knows no bounds—he’ll meow loudly and happily bounce around in anticipation. DARRYL HENDERSON is a social guy, and while he enjoys being around his human companions, he also gets along well with other cats. He’d love a home with a playful kitty friend who can keep up with his silly side and enjoy a game of chase or a fun toy hunt. While Darryl is generally a sweet and friendly guy, he does appreciate his alone time now and then, so he’s perfectly content to relax by himself for a bit when needed. Although DARRYL HENDERSON is okay with being held, he prefers not to be, so a home where he has room to move around and engage in his own little adventures would be ideal for him. He’s gentle, curious, and always up for some fun, making him a perfect fit for a family who is ready to shower him with love and playtime. Would you like to add some fun and laughter to your home with DARRYL HENDERSON? ********** DARRYL HENDERSON IS AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER TO ADOPT ********** DARRYL HENDERSON is an AMERICAN SHORT HAIR / BOMBAY MIX.
