My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Estimated DOB 10-1-23

Hi, my name is Dorris, and I am a very sweet girl that had a rough start at life. I was rescued from a home where I grew up with 43 other cats!

My estimated age is around 1 year, and I have already had a litter of kittens.

After I was rescued, I was spayed, and some kittens started nursing on me. They tore my incision open, so I needed to spend some time in the infirmary until I healed.

After almost a month in infirmary, I graduated to a foster home where I can stretch my legs, roam and play, as well as learn what love is. 💞

I am pretty independent but always up for an adventure with my resident cats. I wasn’t quite sure about them at first but it only took me a week to adjust. I love to follow my foster Mom around the house to make sure I don’t miss out on anything. I also like to help her work by attending zoom calls and typing on her keyboard. I am not afraid of loud noises and even help my foster Mom vacuum the carpets. When I have had enough work, I spend quiet time alone away from everyone.

My favorite toys are tunnels, wands with feathers, colored ping pong balls and I love to play fetch with my foster Mom. I am even learning to sit for treat time!

I would love to have a home with a feline friend, but I would be okay alone too. My foster Mom says I am Purr-fect!

Cats must be spayed/neutered prior to going home.

Additional adoption info

We do not allow cats to be adopted that will be declawed, or outdoor cats. All pets are fixed, microchipped and have shots prior to go home. On some occasions we may let a cat go home if it's too young to be fixed if the adopter is a previous adopter and we have an appointment set for them to bring to the vet for the sterilization with follow-up. Also we do not adopt out single kittens unless they have another cat in the home. Otherwise we require them to take two.

Go meet their pets

We do meet and greets with The Kitten League through Petsmart in Sioux Falls every other week, and we also do regular community events such as street festivals and comiccons. We are always looking for new and different ways to market our cats. We also are doing our very first Kitten Yoga fundraiser in January 2024 to help raise funds and show kittens off for adoption. If these go well we may make it a regular monthly or weekly/biweekly event.

More about this rescue

Our mission is to foster community welfare and improvement through protecting the quality of lives for feral and free roaming cats. Sioux Empire TNR works with compassionate community volunteers, local government officials, and companion animal rescues to utilize humane population control of unaltered, free-roaming, feral, and/or abandoned domestic cats in our area through education and the use of Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR). We also provide referrals for low or no-cost sterilization surgeries and provide access to a wide range of resources for TNR education and colony management in the Sioux Empire and surrounding areas.
