We also get a reference from your vet, if applicable. Home Visit. If all the steps above are completed satisfactorily, we will set up a visit where you can meet the pet you are interested in. We will try to include the foster parent so you can learn more about how the pet is in a home environment. Due to COVID, we may ask you to send a video of your yard and the pet's expected living space.

Story
Mac (born ~9/18/25) is a sleek black explorer with a big heart—affectionate when he wants to be, and otherwise on a mission to investigate every corner of the house. He’s playful, curious, and happiest with interactive toys and short bursts of attention before settling in for a cuddle.

Story
To meet this kitten, please text 214 621 1139. Pre-adoption tag. Purrcilla came into foster care with all her siblings and her mommy, Skye. They were rescued from a life of misery off the streets when Purrcilla and her litter were only a few days old. If you have ever seen the Disney Pinocchio, then you would have met Purrcilla's doppelganger, Figaro. If Purrcilla had been a boy, we would probably have named her such. She has the classic, clean beautiful pattern of the elegant tuxedo. Her little pink nose and expressive eyes make everyone instantly fall in love with her. She is rather vocal and for such a tiny mite, she has a lot to say. She follows her brother, Marlowe, around the house, seeking mischief and mayhem. We can't wait to show her off to the right adoptive family. Purrcilla is available for preadoption as her spay surgery is scheduled for Oct 8. To Meet and Greet our kittens/cats, please copy and paste the link into your browser to fill out this application form so we can schedule a meeting: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdf3ebq7POP7EcSJGQV-GK9GThtux4SYMGV9jqWyQJyq7M1KQ/viewform This is a No Exception Rule: Due to its young age, this kitten cannot be adopted into a home that has no other young cat(s) or kitten(s) for it to socialize with. Consider adopting the kitten with a sibling if you don't already have a kitten or cat at home. Please note the following: We always do vet reference checks and we WILL NOT adopt kittens or cats into household where the residential pets are unvaccinated. This is to ensure the safety of BOTH our kitten/cat and your current pets.February 13, 2026, 5:33 pm
