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
Mr. Damien is a resilient boy. we have had him for the last 6 months now due to family not being able to take care of him. we took him in breaking our apartment lease in hopes of getting the treatment he needs for his Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). Proud to say he fought off FIP and is a health boy again, but we sadly can’t keep him. We have 2 beautiful kitties that were originally our focus, 3 is little much for us. Damien is good with other cats and he seems to be ok with dogs but doesn’t have a lot of experience with them. He’s good with kids and other people. Very talkative kitty especially when you get home. He is the most excited boy ever. He loves to play fetch and he loves his small cat toys, but my personal favorite part about Damien is his one eye. he wasn’t born like this it was taken out due to his FIP. he is fully updated on his vaccines and is neutered, but not micro chipped. we are located in the DFW area in Allen Texas. if anyone would love to adopt Damien!

Story
Posy has spent her life so far being loved by her family and loafing about indoors, but she thinks she’s learned all she can from them at this point. Currently, she is seeking a home where she can be a solitary queen, loved and adored by all and left to her own devices when she wishes. While she will tolerate respectful pups, she really would prefer to be the only feline in the family. If you’re looking for an aloof but benevolent dictator to rule your heart, look no further. Posy is 7 years old (though if you tell her I told you she will seek retribution) and looking forward to meeting you.

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

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.
