Story
Bob is a sweetheart and we love him so much, but he does not love our dog or our other cat so much anymore and has gotten to where he’s just seeming stressed out all the time lately from them. He was born in my home and is almost 4 years old (bday is in April). He plays fetch better than my dog (stretchy hair ties or bands work). He loves to snuggle. Takes a little bit of time to warm up, but is so sweet after. He tends to run and hide when we have people over and doesn’t love big crowds of people or noises, so ideally a quieter home would be better and I think he would do best as an only pet. It breaks my heart to rehome him and there will be tears, but as much as we love him and he loves us, I think he would be happier if he wasn’t so stressed all the time. Also he is not a huge fan of the automatic litter boxes. At least not the one I got. I want to find him a home where he is loved and can couch snuggle someone and get back to his happy stress-free self.

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.

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

Story
Max was abandoned by his original family as a kitten. He spent some time on the streets until he wandered into my garage one day and found his new home. He enjoys laying on your lap or chest once he’s warmed up to you. He loves to be pet, and he loves to play. He often headbutts my face when I put him on me. He is vocal when overstimulated and will let you know if he doesn’t like something. He is very food motivated, and has learned how to shake hands in exchange for treats. He can be a little rough when accepting treats and I don’t recommend feeding him by hand unless you do it in a specific way that I did when training him. He thinks rubber is edible so keeping the house clear of things he might try to eat is important. Keeping the trash cans inaccessible is also recommended. He lived with a dog for years but keeps his distance. He plays with other cats but can be rough. He is a sweet boy and will be a wonderful companion for any home.

Story
What do you see when you look at Little Button? Do you see beyond an odd-looking black cat with a strange marking on her nose and sad, beautiful, emerald eyes? In our rescue, we see a gentle survivor of the alley streets where cats are often discarded, abandoned or neglected. Sweet little Button was on her last breath when she was found by rescuers who was astounded at her desire to live. Despite being malnourished, unkempt and covered with blemishes, those emerald eyes blazed with determination to keep breathing. Faced with such an indomitable spirit in a broken body, rescuers carried little Button in foster care. With influx of medication, nutritious meals and time to recovery, little Button plumped up and her fur coat grew glossy and thick again. She is now a healthy, beautiful black, urban panther with the sweetest temperament. The only remnants of her sad past lay in her scalloped ears and the blaze marking on her nose. We believe this is a survivor's badge of courage and we love the pixie charm it gives to her little furry face. We are actively looking for a first time cat owner or a quiet home for our Little Button. She is a very peaceful, quiet little kitty with a lot of affection to give. She is very low maintenance but sweet-tempered and will easily fit into a loving household where she can spend the rest of her life being pampered by loving owners. She gets along with other older cats. Come and meet our sweet little survivor by texting 214 621 1139.

Story
To meet this kitten, please text 214 621 1139. Our little Stubby is a tail-less wonder. He goes around wagging his little stubble of a tail happily all day long. He has a round little tummy and a big round apple head. The lack of a tail only adds to his appeal as he hops around the house like a deranged black and white bunny. He loves to chase toys and is always inventing new ways to play kitty soccer with his balls and anything that can be rolled across the living room floor. Poor Stubby must have been really food deprived when he was a baby because he sure loves food. He eats like there is no tomorrow. He has the cutest little chirps when he begs for more food. No wonder he has a beach belly. We love this engaging, interactive and extremely human friendly little kitten. He enjoys being picked up and cuddled and he loves getting attention from his humans. He is adorable!
