Story
I found Chester outside, hanging around my complex. He used to cry extremely loudly and near constantly until someone would come sit with him and pet or feed him. Fixed but not ear tipped and extremely emaciated, yet friendly toward humans, I assumed he was abandoned. The maintinence man said he believed he had seen him in another unit years back, and it’s likely someone turned him loose or left him. I fed him here and there and regularly loved on him. At least a couple other people in my apartment complex also feed him occasionally. He also appeared to have a severe flea allergy, considering the bald patches and scabs which closely resembled those that a previous cat of mine had when it had a flea allergy, but those have since healed after treatment. I can't keep him considering I have 2 other cats and can’t comfortably afford a third. However, he is vaccinated and reaching a healthy weight now. The vet says he’s about 7 y/o and has a bit of arthritis. But he’s sweet as can be.

Story
Mya is a shy 3 year old female. She has a bonded sister who she loves. She doesn't get along with my older cat, she stalks her to the point my older cat growls and has started pulling out her hair. She isn’t;t a lap cat or a cuddler, but she likes to get under rhe covers in a chair with you. They need to be adopted together. Her sister Kya is easy going loves to play. I've had them 3 years since they were babies. Spayed, utd on shots and litterbox trained. They use scratching posts, never have scratched on furniture.

Story
We adopted Suki from a family 3 weeks after he was born. He is now about 3 years old. We adopted him for my daughter as an emotional support pet. Suki is very sweet and loves to cuddle. He is in need of alot of attention. My daughter is now headed to college and I can longer care for him or give him as much attention as he needs. He is a bit of a scary cat when it comes to dogs and other cats as he has not been around any but one time in his life and he will run and hide until he feels comfortable. But he will play with smaller things like bugs. He loves to chase things and run around the house. We are looking for a caring home to love and care for him.

Story
Hi, I’m Lily! I was found wandering around an apartment complex with my kittens. I did a great job of raising them, and they’ve all found homes, so I’m hoping it’s my turn now! I am very friendly and gentle. I enjoy being picked up, getting treats, and laying in my hammock to look out the window. I am cautious around new cats but my foster mom thinks I would do well with them as long as we are introduced properly (I’m just a little shy with other kitties because some of the other outdoor cats at the apartment complex were not nice to me). I’m a pretty quiet kitty but I make cute little chirping sounds to show that I’m happy to see you. I am litter trained and use a scratching post. All Dexter’s Cat Rescue pets will go to their new homes spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, dewormed and treated for fleas. All cats must be indoors only and keep their claws. To schedule a meet and greet with this pet, please fill out our adoption application.
