Meet Twig 🪾

Picked up as a stray in Dallas with a tail injury, Twig has already overcome so much in her one year of life! The injury left her needing a tail amputation, which has resulted in an adorable bob tail. She has been an absolute trooper through it all!

Twig is both sweet and sassy- she loves attention and leans in for pets and snuggles. She also will let you know if she doesn't like what you're doing, and doesn't like to be bossed around. Twig is litter box trained and currently lives with 2 dogs who she is comfortable coexisting with. She is a confident girl who LOVES food, and will do anything for a snack. This came in handy getting her through medical care and adjusting to a new life with canine friends.

Twig would be a wonderful addition to any family looking for a spunky, sweet and chatty "house bobcat." She would do best with older kids who can understand and respect her boundaries, but would be uncomfortable with children who want to frequently pick her up or handle her. Twig enjoys playing with wand toys and lounging at the top of her cat tree. She is overall pretty laid back and fun to live with!

Twig is FIV+. FIV is a virus that can cause a weakened immune system, but most FIV+ cats live normal lives with no difference in lifespan compared to other cats. FIV is spread only through deep bite wounds or mating, so there’s minimal risk to other cats in the home, especially since all DPA cats are spayed/neutered prior to adoption. We recommend slow introductions when bringing home any new pet and can provide resources and guidance for a peaceful transition. Regular vet visits to detect illnesses early are important for FIV+ cats, but many FIV+ cats will live long, healthy lives with little to no symptoms.

All Dallas Pets Alive adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon adoption. The standard minimum donation for cats over six months to seven years is $100, kittens under six months is $150, cats eight years and over are $50 unless specified otherwise. You can view all the adoptable pets and fill out an adoption application online on our website at http://dallaspetsalive.org/adopt/adoptable-cats/ .
