Mesquite Animal Pawtners

This trio is still available. We really want them to stay together, so it’s going to take a special adopter who has a place for an instant family. They are wonderful cats.

Wanda has an old front leg injury. A vet visit is being scheduled, but it is not an emergency. Wanda’s siblings are set up in the adoption room, but Wanda needs rescue since she needs some extra medical care.

If you are a rescue group that can tag Wanda, please email rescues@cityofmesquite.com

Wanda is a black and white kitten with a cute black dot on her nose.

Wanda the black and white kitten is on a scale which shows her weight as 3.45 pounds

A human hand lifts Wanda's front paw to show off some of the healed damage on her skin, likely from dragging this bad limb.

RESCUE NEEDED/Medical

Meet Wanda! She and her siblings were brought into the shelter by a citizen. They have lived outside but are healthy and friendly. All have received intake vaccines, dewormer, and flea meds.

Penguin is skinny, had too many fleas, and is dirty. We estimate age at 5 weeks, but only weighs .8 pounds. He did eat for us which is a good sign. He is being treated for the fleas and given dewormer (this is a norm at intake)...

We always need volunteers who can foster for us locally in Mesquite, east Dallas, Rockwall, Garland, etc. If you can't foster, we can still find other ways for you to help!

We also need adopters! If you're looking for a kitten, cat, or even a dog, we can help! Just get in touch.

A young black and white kitten in a foster home

What you can expect from us here: we almost always have some kitten in need -- either hungry or sick or injured. There will be cute kitten pics. We'll also be showing you cats in the shelter that need homes. We'd love if you shared these adoptable cuties (often transport can be arranged!).

A tabico kitten snoozes comfortably, dreaming of a future forever home.

Our volunteers serve as an independent foster unit for the shelter, giving young kittens a chance to grow up and receive all the age-appropriate veterinary care needed to be eligible for adoption. We try to raise funds to feed kittens so that our fosters don't have to pay out of pocket.
