Zipper thinks he’s a dog, but his foster family keeps reminding him that he is a cat. So he tells the other cats in the household that he is a dog-cat.

Adopting a cat in St. Francis
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.
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.
