Adopt

Read about the "adoptables" at Big D's Ranch and see if you'd like to meet them!

All of our cats have been vetted, spayed/neutered and vaccinated. Often that includes a dental, lab work and always testing for FIV, FeLV and heart worm!

Wally

Wally is a big mush! About 5 years old, came to us with an ear infection so bad it disintegrated his ear drum, and four broken canine teeth! All of that is fixed. He is a happy insta-cat who loves people and truly thinks he is the only one you ever need to pet, feed, play with! He'd like to be an only cat or needs to be the "boss cat"! Wally is FIV+, fully vetted and ready for a home.

Olivia

This spunky little senior is as sweet as can be and on you like velcro! She will purr and be a lap cat as long as you let her! She is a senior, is on a daily medication. Her human mom passed away in August of 2025 and she is looking for a new home where she is adored and doted on as she should be!

Mister was wandering the streets and found a small group of cats being fed so he joined! He is about 2-3 years old, now neutered and working on getting over some food anxiety! This guy loves to eat because he remembers when he didn't have food! Mister loves attention, loves other cats and wants to be "first" but doesn't fight for it. He comes with his scratcher box that he lays in to be pet!

Mister

But wait... here are more!

Dora the Explorer!

Dora is a street-smart little girl with a heart of gold! She arrived a little wary, already spayed and having found a woman who fed raccoons and invited her to eat too! She has been with us over six months and has just become so sweet, but still independent! If you can't find her... she may be in a cupboard or above the refrigerator but she will come find you for attention, dinner and playtime! She is about 2-3 years old and healthy!

Noodles... calm and wise!

Noodles... he is living with Mister and doing well - he's a low key, wise little guy but only 2-3 years old! Neutered and FIV +. He was found by some neighbor ladies living under a car in a complex and no-one would claim him, so here he is! Likes attention, likes food, likes to play.. but not obsessive about any of them!

These little cuties are brothers about 5 months old... still a little shy and a little timid, they get along great with other cats and are being fostered with a dog! They would like to stay together but they would adjust so we are considering either! Healthy, neutered, vaccinated and playful as only a 5 month old can be!!
