Story
Meet Smudge--she may be small, but she has a big personality! She is 7 years old, weighs about 9lbs, and has striking green eyes. Sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s a huge fan of string and ribbon and will chase them for hours if you have the time and energy to match her enthusiasm! Sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s an affectionate companion who adores people but prefers to rule over your household as the only feline overlord. Her shots are all up to date (even though she didnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t appreciate getting them) and sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s spayed as well as microchipped. Smudge loves to be played with, but she is also quite the cuddle bug (on her terms) and will happily sit in a lap all day if you let her. Children old enough to know not to pull on tails or corner an animal are her favorite playmates, she matches well with their abundance of energy and likes to meow back in conversation to their babble and chatter. If you are someone who has company over frequently, she rather enjoys meeting new people. She has a fun little quirk where she bucks up to receive pets and it tends to be a hit with guests. Smudge is nervous and anxious around other cats and would prefer not to live with the feline kind. We are unsure how she would be in a house with dogs. She has been around small dogs in the past with no issue and simply avoided (though it did increase her anxiety) the larger dogs we briefly pet-sat. She is litterbox trained and will only do her business in the litterbox youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153ve designated, there have never been any accidents in the house. Before her anxiety around other cats manifested, she would play fetch with her toys, and bring them to us when she wanted to play. Ideally, her new home would only have one four-legged occupant to help ease her anxiety. She may not be a fan of other cats but the affection she displays for human companions is equal to any two cats that Iâ&#194&#128&#194&#153ve met! We personally would love to keep her but due to her ever-increasing anxiety about the other cats in our home we have to keep her separated from them and by extension us. This situation is not tenable as it leaves her depressed and lonely as she is very sociable when it comes to people and loves to interact with her human companions. To sum things up, Smudge is a cute, cuddly, and social (with humans) cat who would make an excellent addition to your household. Sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s great with older kids and loves to play so if youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153re looking for a house-trained cat with a big personality, sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s the four-legged friend youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153ve been waiting for!

Story
Born a southern belle in East TX, Arya II grew up learning how to hunt. She has caught many a lizard, mouse, and rat in her short 2.5 years. When her first owner passed away she was all alone with nowhere to go. However, someone above had other plans for her. She is currently being fostered by a family who plans to go overseas at the end of November. No one has taken her as their forever cat but they know the right person is waiting for her. She is full of life and love. She does well with kids but doesn't let them boss her around. She takes a while to warm up as she has had to make a lot of transitions in her life. She will follow you around like you have her on a leash, even when she sneaks outside. Many people will remark, 'I have never seen a cat follow someone around like that.' She has a remarkable pattern to her fur. Sometimes she appears brown and other times more gray. She loves to cuddle at night, on her own terms of course, and does not mind being picked up too much either. Arya is the coolest cat you will meet in TX (I have met a lot) and you would be blessed and never regret getting to be her forever owner. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you have a specific question about Arya II, then please email newdigs@dallaspetsalive.org.

Story
Kitty III is a super-senior, 14-year-old purr-machine looking for a chill home to match his low-key, gentle personality. If you're looking for a sweet, independent, older fella who loves chin scratches, napping in cozy soft spots, looking out windows, and curling up in your lap for some cuddles, Kitty is the guy for you. Kitty may be an old-timer, but don't let it fool you: pull out his favorite wand toys and he'll show you he still has those big jumps and quick moves in him. While Kitty does do well around children, he would thrive in a home with older kids or adults that match his laid-back personality. Kitty is the perfect addition to a home looking for a chill cat. Kitty is litter trained, declawed on his front paws, and is FIV+ which comes with a lot of misconceptions. FIV+ means Kitty has a weaker immune system compared to cats without the disease. FIV+ cats deserve to live a happy life full of love!

Story
DOB 05/21/19 - Oreana needs her angel! This adorable tuxedo cutie had a rough start but Orrie has started to blossom. She's lived with calm, gentle, cat friendly dogs, and a variety of friendly kitties. This princess has decided her perfect place would be a calm, quiet home. She would probably love to be the queen of the castle and just live life with you! Oreana will be shy at first and will need some time, love and patience to settle in, but she will be forever grateful and your BFF once that happens! She sleeps with you once she's comfortable too! Are you her angel? For inquiries on adopting, please email DallasCatLadyInfo@gmail.com. You must be over 25 to adopt with proof of ID.

Story
Tyrone was taken in by a friend when he found him on the street. He is very sweet and cuddly and just loves to be around you. He is vocal and will tell you when he needs pets. He is still a kitten so of corse he is playful. He will need someone that is home a lot and is willing to give him attention and play time. He would be an absolute wonderful family cat. He has a neuter date set in a couple of weeks. His sister Cassy is also available for adoption if you want two. I recommend having another cat in the home so he doesn’t get single kitten syndrome. Let me know if you have any other questions, he would love to meet you!!

Cassy and Tyrone (her brother) were both found by a friend who couldn’t keep them. Cassy is a very needy love bug who will need to go to someone who is home a lot and willing to tend to her “always need to be around you” attitude. She is an adventurous girl who loves going outside on a leash. She can be vocal but is an a pretty well mannered kitten. She loves sleeping right next to me at night and following me around the house. She has a spay date set and whoever adopts her will need to work it out with us on taking her and picking her up from the vet. She would love to meet you!!!

Meet Cassy and Tyrone! Two lovely kittens that were found by a friend of a friends on the street. Unfortunately they were unable to keep them so I jumped in and offered to help due to past experience in kittens. Cassy and Ty are 6 months old, up to date on shots, and has a fix date set for November and December. Cassy is one of the sweetest little kittens you’ll ever meet. She meets me at the door when I come in and is a huge cuddle bug whenever Im sitting down. She even loves to be held and loved on. She is a bit shy at first but still very adventurous. Whoever adopts her will be very lucky to have this sweet little lady!! Ty is also a cuddle bug and sweetheart. He has a lot more kitten/play-fullness to him than his sister but still is a love bug. Both kitties will need to be adopted by someone who I willing to give them lots of time and attention. We encourage them to be adopted together, but they also can be adopted separate. They would love to do a meet and greet with you!!!

Meet Bayou, a super handsome black and white Tuxedo boy. He's solidly built and super laid back.  He takes his cues from those (both feline and human) he's around. You can pick him up, snuggle him and he rolls with most everything. His foster family shares that he's great with their nine year old child – super cute when they read in bed together every night.  He acquiesces to his female sister Gumbo when it comes to food and play so we know he would do well with another cat in a new home.  He loves the toy balls to bat about and adores the play tube/tunnel. Likes high places and play wrestling with his sister. Does like to use the cat tree for scratching, a very nice habit!  His estimated birth date is July 12, 2024. Cats adopted from TMHPR are indoor only. ##2156880##

Pippa is a four year old British Shorthair that I got from a breeder. She is a total inside cat. I think she would love a household with another cat or more people to play with her. She is a beautiful cat with a funny personality. And as with most cats it will take a little time for her to get to know you.

Mochi is an 11 month old kitty who never really had her kitten kindergarten, so we've been working on that in our group. She is a stout girl, built more like a British Short hair rather than the American SH cat but her face is more like the American type. She is friendly, very playful, and sweet. She is up to date on her vaccines and spayed. Her adoption fee is $100.
