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.

Bingo is a very sweet and cuddly cat. She loves her snuggles and will give you so many kisses. She’s playful, calm, sometimes spunky, and just the greatest companion. She has always been an indoor cat so please keep that in mind if you decide to adopt :)

Please adopt him! Mio is so sweet and friendly with humans. He loves sleeping which is what you will find him doing most of the time. He also allows you to cuddle him until he gets annoyed. He loves to be around you and he has never bitten anyone. The most damaging thing he will do is scratch your hand when you are playing with him. Please!

Arya was adopted by us from RAL in early 2022 as a kitten, 3 years old. She is calm and independent with a sweet and playful side. Would do well in a home with another cat. Does well around children. Can be shy at first but sweet and cuddly once she gets to know you. Does well when her family is out of town. Looking for a loving forever home.

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.
