4. Boo
Adult (5 years 1 month) · Female · Domestic Long Hair / Mixed (long coat)


Lovely long-haired beauty BOO is a gentle girl looking for a new home to call her own. She's about 5 years old and currently 11 pounds. Boo was adopted from SDHR as a kitten back in 2022 and recently returned. Changes in her home over time, including the arrival of a new baby and the loss of her canine companions proved too stressful for Boo so we agreed to take her back and find her a home environment where she can thrive. She needs a quiet adult-only home. She lived with 2 dogs who were her dear companions and their passing broke her heart. Boo is ideally suited to a home where she will have a friendly canine or feline companion. She needs a patient adopter who will help her settle in to her new life. Boo's long lovely locks will require regular brushing to keep her looking and feeling fabulous. If you'd like to adopt beautiful Boo, please fill out a cat adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Boo at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate.

9. Marble
Young (1 year) · Female · Dilute Tortoiseshell / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)



Marble - where to begin? Someone took her to a shelter - pregnant - but the shelter would not take her in. Someone in the lobby felt sorry for her and took her home.
Marble was in rough shape....all of her kittens died, probably because Marble was malnourished and too young.
We stumbled upon the situation and offered to get several of the people's cats fixed...but when we got Marble home, we realized she was in no condition to have surgery! She was only 4 1/2 pounds! The family agreed to surrender her so we could give her the medical attention she needed.
Read more about Marble
Well fast forward - she is a good as new! So friendly and playful....she LOVES toys and is hilarious! It is hard to get pictures of her because she is always on the go! So fun....we are so happy for her! She is an absolute hoot! She is fostered with cats and is a little bossy....but no one seems to care. She would do fine as an only cat with LOTS of toys!
Born likely fall of 2025, she is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and negative for fiv/felv. Adoption fee $60. Here is our application

Adopting a cat in Owen County
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
