Notes from Sweet Dream House Rescue

As a classic calico, Pumpkin has enough sweetheart personality to completely power a small city! Fully grown at around 3 years old and weighing a petite 7.4 pounds, this stunning girl is the perfect, colorful mix of spunky "cali-tude" and deep, purring affection. Pumpkin has tested positive for FIV. FIV+ cats can live long and happy lives and can live happily with other cats in the right situation. For more information, please check out these two links:

She is simply looking for a cozy environment with humans who appreciate a cat with a big personality, and she promises to pay you back in a lifetime of endless purrs, cuddle sessions, and affectionate headbutts.

To keep her immune system strong and healthy, Pumpkin requires high-quality food, regular annual vet checkups, and a strictly indoor-only lifestyle. She is already fully vetted—meaning she is spayed, vaccinated, combo-tested, dewormed, and microchipped—and ready to settle down. If you have any other pets in the household, our rescue requires that they are fully spayed or neutered and completely up to date on all of their vaccines. Additionally, we will never send Pumpkin to a home where she will be subjected to declawing. We stand firmly against this harmful surgical practice because it causes permanent physical pain, nerve damage, and severe behavioral struggles for cats.

If you are ready to open your heart to this vibrant, loving calico girl, there are two simple ways to meet her. You can fill out an online cat adoption application right now at dreamhouserescue.org, and our team will gladly arrange a private meet-and-greet for approved applicants. You can also come see her big personality in person at our weekly adoption event, held every single Saturday from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at PetSmart Eastgate.
