1. Kiwi 2

Adult (5 years) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 15 mi from Lake Elsinore

Hi, I’m Kiwi! I’m a 5-year-old girl looking for a new family because sadly, my owner is moving and can’t take me along.

I’m a loving, cuddly girl who loves being close to my person. Once I choose you, I’ll be your little shadow, snuggling beside you at night and filling your days with love. I also have a playful side and love to hunt! I can tolerate other cats and get along with small dogs, but I’d truly thrive as your one and only. All I want is a person to call my own and a forever home where I’ll always be loved. Could you be my second chance?

Adoption fee: $85

Hi, I’m Eclair! I’m a shy little tuxedo girl, but once you get to know me, I promise I’ll steal your heart! I love playing with other cats, especially my siblings, so having a kitty friend would make me so happy. Treats and snacks are definitely the way to my heart!

I might need a little time to warm up, but with patience and love, I know I’ll blossom. I’m just a little girl waiting for someone to see how special I am. Could you be my forever family?

And I am absolutely CRAZY about cat treats! The moment I know treats are involved, you’ll have my full attention. My previous owner said one of the most wonderful things about me is my gentle temperament. I have never hissed at anyone or shown aggression. Even when something upsets me, I simply run away rather than getting angry or defensive. I am the perfect combination of independent and affectionate. I don’t demand constant attention, but I have my own adorable ways of showing you that I love you. I’m a sweet little companion who will bring warmth, laughter, and lots of love into your home.

4. Dallas and Vegas

Adult · Male · Tabby (short coat) · 10 mi from Lake Elsinore

Meet Dallas & Vegas! Double the love, double the purrs!
Some bonds are simply unbreakable, and Dallas and Vegas are the perfect example! These handsome 9 year old brothers have spent their entire lives together, and they wouldn’t want it any other way. Now, they’re looking for a loving forever home where they can enjoy their golden years side by side, surrounded by comfort, affection, and plenty of love. Now they might be 9 years old but they do not act like older cats. They still have so much life left and love to run around playing with toys and chasing each other through the house as if they were spry adolescents.
Dallas (brown tabby) is a sweet, affectionate boy who just needs a little time to feel comfortable with new people.

Read more about Dallas and Vegas

He may be a bit reserved at first, but give him about 24 hours to settle in, and you’ll soon have a purring lap cat who is happy to soak up your attention! Dallas takes comfort in his brother Vegas and looks to him for confidence when meeting new people. These two are so connected that Dallas will even call out for his brother if he can’t find him. His loving personality is absolutely worth the little bit of patience it takes to win his heart.
Vegas (grey/white) is the outgoing charmer of the duo! This total lovebug adores human attention and isn’t shy about asking for it. He’ll happily headbutt your hand or leg to remind you that it’s time for pets, and head and chin scratches are definitely the way to his heart. Vegas is also a big fan of mealtime and enjoys his food a little too much! He’s carrying a little extra weight and could benefit from losing a pound or two to help keep him healthy. With some portion control and a balanced diet, he’ll be on the right track!
Dallas and Vegas have lived with other cats and dogs and tend to be pretty indifferent to their furry housemates. With slow, thoughtful introductions, they may be able to share their home with other pets. Their most important relationship, however, is with each other. They are a truly bonded pair and must be adopted together.
At 9 years old, these boys have so much love left to give. They’re past the kitten chaos and ready to settle into a peaceful home where they can enjoy cozy naps, full bellies, gentle affection, and the comfort of always having their favorite companion nearby.
Could you be the forever home Dallas & Vegas have been waiting for? If you have room in your heart for two sweet adorable gentlemen, these brothers would love to meet you!

Walk toward the kitchen and you may suddenly notice an orange companion following close behind - just in case food might be involved.

Hey there! I’m Mariel Hemingway! I’m a fun-loving girl with extra toes (yep, I’m a polydactyl!), and I’m always ready for my next adventure! I love jumping, playing, and being a little silly. I may be a bit clumsy, but that just makes me extra cute! I sometimes get carried away with my play bites, so having another kitty around to help me learn good kitty manners would be awesome! Once I’ve gotten all my zoomies out, I’m all about the cuddles. I love sleeping beside my humans and snuggling as close as possible. Could you be the one to give this extra-toed girl her forever home?

Do you want to spend your days and nights with a complete lovebug? Then Hudson is your guy.
Some cats simply fit into a family.
Hudson becomes part of it.
Hudson is a 2 year old handsome tabby with the kind of easygoing personality that makes everyone wonder if he's always lived there. Friendly, affectionate, curious, and endlessly charming, he's the cat who greets visitors like old friends and somehow convinces everyone that stopping to pet him is the most important thing they'll do all day.
He is an absolute joy to be around.
Do you have a dog? Hudson could be his best freind.
Do you have children? Hudson would be a wonderful companion.
He would love to be your one and only kitty because he thinks one is all you need.

Read more about Hudson

Especially if he gets to be the one.
You'll often find him stretched out in his favorite cat bed, perched high on his cat tree surveying his kingdom, or curled beside his favorite person enjoying a quiet afternoon together. He's wonderfully affectionate without being demanding and has perfected the art of appearing exactly when someone has an empty lap available.
Movie night?
He's in.
Working from home?
Expect a furry assistant.
Reading a book?
Hudson believes every chapter is improved by a purring companion.
A tall cat tree near a sunny window would be his dream office. Add a basket full of toys, plenty of tasty treats (Temptations are his favorite), and a cozy bed, and Hudson will consider himself one very fortunate cat.
Some cats make you laugh.
Some cats make you smile.
Hudson somehow manages to do both while also making your house feel a little more like home.
He has been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $150.
If you're looking for a smart, affectionate companion with a heart as warm as his purr, Hudson is ready to fill your home with love and an endless supply of happy moments!

23. Flurry

Young (7 months) · Male · Siamese / Snowshoe / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Lake Elsinore

Hi! My name is
Flurry
, and I have an important question for you:

Are you looking for a handsome kitten? Fluffy, blue-eyed lynx point Siamese who can simultaneously entertain you, supervise your household, and occasionally sit in your lap and purr?

Excellent. Because I happen to be available.

My story didn’t start out very happily. My mom, Frostine, and I were found abandoned outside during a terrible heat wave. We had no food, no water, and no idea why our humans had left us there. Thankfully, a good Samaritan found us and brought us to
D.R.E.A.M. Animal Rescue
, where we finally got the food, water, safety, and love we desperately needed.

Read more about Flurry

And now? Well…
I’m thriving!

Once I know you’re one of the good humans, I will happily turn on my
purr motor
and settle in beside you for some serious petting. I’m friendly, playful, and curious about absolutely EVERYTHING.

And when I say everything, I mean
EVERYTHING.

What’s that over there? I must investigate.

What’s that noise? Must investigate.

What’s behind that door? Obviously, I must investigate.

Why is my human sitting quietly?
Clearly, they need me.

I especially love
rope toys, coils, rattling balls, and toys I can carry around
. Yes, I said
carry
. I am a tiny kitten with very important possessions and I feel strongly that I should be allowed to transport my toys wherever I please.

I also LOVE climbing my cat tree. From up there, I can observe my kingdom, conduct surveillance operations, and occasionally launch myself into an important kitten mission.

I’m also a big fan of playing with my mom, Frostine. We have lots of fun together, although I’m pretty sure she sometimes wishes I would take a nap and stop bothering her. Personally, I think she secretly enjoys my excellent company.

And just in case you’re wondering about my manners…

I ALWAYS use the litter box.

You’re welcome.

So, if you’re looking for a handsome little lynx point Siamese who is playful, inquisitive, friendly, affectionate once he gets to know you, and guaranteed to bring plenty of entertainment into your life,
I might just be your guy.

Come meet me. Give me a little time to get acquainted with you. Then prepare yourself for the moment when my purr motor starts.

Because once I decide you’re my person…

You’re probably going to be my person forever.
❤️

Love,

Flurry

My son, Flurry , and I were abandoned outside in the middle of a terrible heat wave. We had no food. No water. No way to get out of the heat. Thankfully, a wonderful Good Samaritan found us and brought us to D.R.E.A.M. They gave us something we desperately needed: a second chance. ❤️

These days, I’m discovering that life can actually be pretty wonderful!

Read more about Frostine

I’m a calm, sweet girl who just needs a little time to get to know you. Once I know you’re my person, my purr motor starts right up! I love sitting near you while you pet me, and I’m perfectly happy to keep you company without demanding that I be the center of attention.

I’m also a curious and playful girl. I enjoy rope toys, coils, balls, and toy mice , and I absolutely love climbing my cat tree. When I’m not busy investigating something important, you can usually find me perched up high on my cat tree or lounging comfortably on the sofa, quietly supervising everything happening around me. Someone has to keep an eye on things, after all!

I especially enjoy playing with my son, Flurry . We have been through a lot together, and I’m very happy that we have each other. ❤️

I’m a good girl who always uses my litter box , and I promise I’ve retired from my former career as an outdoor survival expert. These days, I’m much more interested in soft furniture, toys, affection, and having a safe place to call home.

Maybe that home could be yours ?

If you’re looking for a gorgeous Siamese girl who is sweet, calm, playful, curious, and ready to learn what it means to be truly loved, I would absolutely love to meet you.

Could you be my happily-ever-after?

Love and purrs,

Frostine

25. Cyper

Adult · Male · Siamese · 25 mi from Lake Elsinore

I had a home at one time. Then I ended up in the streets of Kuwait. My bad luck didn't stop. Someone took me in but wasn't willing to foster me. The person wanted me gone that day. This is when I started with some good luck. I was taken in by Kuwait Animal Aid. They had a foster home that had space for me. After that I was sponsored to travel to the US to find my forever home. I'm friendly to humans but would rather be only cat. If your looking for your 1st cat to adopt. I would will be perfect for you. Please consider giving me a forever home.

26. Astrid

Young (4 months 25 days) · Female · Torbie / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 15 mi from Lake Elsinore

Hi, I’m Astrid, and I’m a sweet little girl who just needs someone willing to let me blossom at my own pace.

I’m shy and a bit skittish, but I love to play and enjoy spending time with my people. I’m more independent and may not be a lap kitty just yet, but I’ll happily be nearby keeping you company.

I’m comfortable with other cats and small dogs and would do best in a patient, quiet home without young children. Give me time, kindness, and love, and I’ll show you my sweet side.

Hi, I’m Organa, a beautiful and unique little girl looking for my forever family!

I have the most gorgeous tabby and calico markings with beautiful touches of orange. I may be a little shy at first, but once I’m comfortable, my friendly and social personality shines through. I’m an active, curious kitten who loves to play, explore, and even climb into your lap!

I adore other cats and do well with small dogs, too. Give me a little time and patience, and I’ll show you just how special I am!

28. Jolene

Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 22 mi from Lake Elsinore

Jolene is a sweet, friendly kitty. She is just a year old and approx.10lbs. She is mostly a calm kitty who loves to cuddle or quietly explore, but she does get excited to play with her wand toy and she sometimes carries her toys around in her mouth to show off what she "caught." She isn't the best hunter though and has never been outside. Since she has been well socialized with other cats and dogs, she needs to remain an indoor kitty because she wouldn't run from strange dogs or coyotes.

Read more about Jolene

Jolene has been dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is FeLV/FIV negative. She is litter box trained. If you're interested in Jolene, please submit an adoption application on our website at www.dominoeffectanimalrescue.org

29. Miki

Adult · Female · Calico (short coat) · 10 mi from Lake Elsinore

Sometimes life changes in ways our pets have no say in. Tom and Miki came to DPS after their owner had to move out of the country and was unable to take them along. They have been together since they were kittens, but they do not have to be adopted together. We are happy to place them separately in the right homes, or they can stay together if someone has room in their heart for two.
Tom is a 3 year old Turkish Van mix who is basically a professional people person. He loves his humans and wants to be right where you are, preferably supervising whatever it is you’re doing. Curious, affectionate, and happiest when he’s beside his person, Tom is the kind of cat who wants to be part of the action rather than watching it from across the room.
Miki is Tom’s 3-year-old calico sister, and her markings are absolutely one of a kind.

Read more about Miki

The transition to a new home has been harder on her, so she’s taking her time adjusting. She’s been coming around beautifully in her foster home and has discovered that lounging in her cat tree is a pretty good way to spend the day. She is gentle and sweet with her humans and loves playing with toys.
Miki also has a little hidden talent: she’s a mouser. Both cats are indoor cats, but when an unexpected mouse made its way into their former home, Miki apparently decided she had been hired for pest control. Problem solved.
Tom and Miki would make wonderful companions, together or separately, for the right home. Tom is likely to be your shadow, while Miki may take a little more time to feel completely comfortable—but once she does, you’ll have a sweet, playful girl who knows how to enjoy the good life.
Sometimes the hardest part of rescue is helping animals understand that a change in circumstances doesn’t mean they’ve lost their chance at a happy ending. We think Tom and Miki are both ready for theirs.
All kittens have all been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350 for the pair or $200 per kitten.

Why adopt an adult cat in Lake Elsinore

An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.

Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
