As a classic calico, Pumpkin has enough sweetheart personality to power a small city. She’s fully grown at around 3 years old and weighing in at 7.4 pounds, she is a colorful mix of spunky "cali-tude" and deep, purring affection. Pumpkin is Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) positive. Do not let this scare you! FIV-positive cats live long, happy, and completely normal lives and her only limitations are to be your only cat in the home or live in a home with other FIV positive friends. FIV only spreads to other cats through deep, vicious bite wounds. She can safely live with other non-aggressive, FIV-negative cats. Pumpkin needs high-quality food and regular annual vet checkups and a strict indoor-only lifestyle to protect her immune system. Pumpkin wants a cozy environment with humans who appreciate a cat with big personality. She promises to pay you back in endless purrs and headbutts!

If you’d like to meet Pumpkin, please fill out a cat adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a meet with an approved adopter! Pumpkin needs to go to a home to be the only cat, or in a home with other FIV+ cats. You can also meet Pumpkin at our weekly adoption event every Saturday 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at PetSmart Eastgate. Our cats are fully vetted and we require indoor-only homes. All other pets in the home must be spayed/neutered and up-to-date on all vaccines. We will not send cats to home where they will be declawed as it is a harmful practice that can cause lifelong physical and behavioral problems. Our cats are all spayed/neutered, vaccinated, combo tested, dewormed, and microchipped.
