Rooted in the DVC community
A little wild.
A lot to love.
Campus-rescued cats are finding their way toward safe, loving homes with help from DVC students, faculty, staff, and neighbors.
Students. Faculty. Staff. Neighbors.
A shared place. A little more care.
Our community
Campus cats.
Community care.
A temporary home can be the beginning of something lasting.
DVC students, faculty, and staff provide foster homes for campus-rescued cats and kittens. This independent volunteer community connects their stories with people who can offer a thoughtful, loving home.
Foster caregivers may have limited resources for veterinary care. We’re working toward clear care plans and support for spay/neuter and immunizations, so each new beginning starts with an honest conversation.
How we talk about careFind your little companion
Every cat has a story.
Each introduction will share a cat’s personality, what home may suit them, and the care information we know.
First introductions are growing.
We’re preparing photos and thoughtful profiles. Check back to meet the cats when their stories are ready.
Adoption interest submissions are not open yet.

From campus to companion
A thoughtful first hello.
When profiles open, an adoption starts with a conversation about the cat, your household, and a care plan everyone understands.
- 01
Find a spark.
Read a cat’s story and share your interest. An inquiry begins a conversation; it does not reserve a cat.
- 02
Get acquainted.
Talk with the foster team about personality, routines, your household, and the cat’s needs.
- 03
Prepare together.
Confirm veterinary care, responsibilities, and the suggested adoption donation before homecoming.
Care, clearly explained
A good home starts with good information.
Some cats may still be awaiting an examination, vaccinations, or spay/neuter. Every profile will say what care is reported complete, what is pending, and what remains unknown.
How will veterinary costs be handled?
Foster caregivers may have limited resources for veterinary care. The suggested adoption donation helps support spay/neuter and immunizations. Before any adoption commitment, the foster team and adopter will confirm what care is complete, what remains, and who will arrange and pay for each service. Additional treatment needs are discussed individually.
Does expressing interest reserve a cat?
No. It starts a conversation with the foster team. A suitable match and agreed care arrangements come before an adoption commitment. Adoption interest submissions will open when cat introductions are ready.
Suggested adoption donation
$50per cat
The suggested donation is $50 per adoption. It helps support the cats’ care. Before an adoption is agreed, the foster team and adopter will confirm care already received, care still needed, and who will arrange and cover any remaining costs.
An adoption donation is discussed during the matching process; no payment is collected on this site.
Help the whole community
Give the cats a stronger start.
We’re arranging a secure external donation service for people who want to support foster care beyond an adoption. Before a link goes live, we’ll clearly identify the faculty volunteer receiving the funds, how contributions will be used, and the payment service.
For our foster community
Help their story find a home.
DVC students, faculty, and staff can submit a foster cat for coordinator review. Share the cat’s story and care status, plus a private contact email. Keep personal contact details and home addresses out of public profile text.
