Carrot Cake's Story

Carrot has been with us since March, and his dedicated foster has been working tirelessly to help him learn that indoor life is safe, cozy, and full of good things. He came to us completely on his own terms—quite literally walking into our trap when we were out trying to catch someone else! He had decided he was done with the streets, and honestly, we can’t blame him. Since then, Carrot Cake has made incredible progress. He’s still a shy guy, but every week he shows us a little more trust and a little more curiosity. With patience and consistency, he’s blossoming into a cat who wants connection—he just needs someone willing to go at his pace. A few things to know about Carrot Cake: - He loves food. His photos might give it away… let’s just say he’s a boy who enjoys his meals and could stand to lose a pound or two. - He LOVES other cats. He absolutely thrives around feline friends and will need a home with at least one social, confident kitty to show him the ropes. - He doesn’t mind dogs either. His canine foster siblings don’t faze him. - He needs a patient, kind adopter. Someone willing to continue his socialization and help him understand that house-cat life isn’t scary—it’s actually really wonderful. Carrot Cake is FELV/FIV negative and estimated to be around 1–2 years old. This sweet, gentle boy has come so far already. Now he just needs a forever home that will give him the love, safety, and reassurance he’s been searching for. Could that be you? Please Note: Applications must be submitted through our website: despuratehousecats.com We are a 100% volunteer-run rescue, so inquiries sent through Petfinder may not be seen.

Despurate House Cats's Adoption Policy

The application process for adopting from our cat rescue includes several important steps: Application Form on Website: You must fill out an application form available on the rescue's website. This form will ask for your personal details, your home environment, and other relevant information about your lifestyle and preferences to help match you with a suitable cat. Vet Reference: You are required to provide a reference from your veterinarian. This helps the rescue ensure you have a history of responsible pet ownership and good veterinary care for your previous or current pets. Landlord Reference (if leasing): If you rent your home, you will need to provide a reference from your landlord. This confirms that you have permission to have a cat in your rental property and ensures that the living conditions are suitable for adopting a pet. Home Visit: As part of the adoption process, a home visit will be conducted. A representative from the rescue will visit your home to ensure it’s a safe and appropriate environment for a cat. This visit will also include meeting your current pets to assess if they will get along with the new cat. The rescue wants to ensure that the new addition to your family will be compatible with your existing pets and that everyone will feel comfortable and safe. Once all these steps are completed and reviewed, the rescue will make a decision about your application.
