Story
How this pet arrived: Louie was brought in by his previous owner on August 6, 2024.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Louie, the ultimate senior gentleman who's ready to grace your home with his distinguished and majestic presence! Louie is a sweet, head-butting love bug who can't resist a good head scratch or a cozy brushing session. Louie has a refined palate - wet food is his absolute favorite. Additionally, Louie will need vet visits once or twice a year to monitor his kidney values and his overall health, to keep him healthy! But let's get one thing straight: Louie has absolutely no tolerance for canine companions. Dogs beware - Louie runs a strict no-dog policy and isn't afraid to enforce it with a swift paw of justice. He's looking for a quiet, dog-free home where he can enjoy his golden years in peace. With a little patience and understanding, Louie will soon settle in and be your best feline friend. Be sure to bring a cat carrier when you come to meet him - Louie is ready to go home! Primary Color: Brown Tabby Weight: 12.4 Age: 12yrs 3mths 1wks

Story
All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, shots current (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies where applicable), dewormed, flea and tick treated, and microchipped.  * If you are interested in a dog, please first read the biography on the dog (keep scrolling down for the bio!) and then go to our website, www.dpsrescue.com for an application. Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Amaretto is a 2 year old young lady that one of our volunteers rescued from a precarious life. She was living with her littermates on the street in a high danger zone. We couldn't leave them there, so our volunteer took all of them in to give them a chance at life. Amaretto is a shy girl, it will take her a while to warm up to her humans, but once she does, you have a friend for life. We know she appreciates having been rescued and wants to trust people so badly but it just takes her a little time. She could easily join a home with another cat or cat savvy dog. She is particularly fond of one of her siblings. So if you are interested in adopting a pair, please look at Kahlua's bio as well. They do not need to be adopted together, but if interested in two kitties, they would be a great duo. Because of her initial shyness, we would be open to a foster-to-adopt program with her. If you think she might be the one for you but want to do a trial period to make sure, we can arrange that. She loves her cat tree and soft beds in her foster home. And she is very treat motivated, so that would be a fast track to bonding with her. She just needs a forever person or family to give her a chance. We know her purrfect person will see her post and know she is the one! She has been spayed, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, vaccinated, dewormed, flea treatment applied and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $150.November 5, 2024, 9:13 pm

She has a very snuggly personality and loves to sleep with her humans in bed at night. She is confident, affectionate and smart. An all-round great kitty.
