OFFICER DOMINIQUE LUCA

My story

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BELOW. IT WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. If you still have questions after, we are happy to respond through email. It is a long read and a long adoption process. Please understand we are ensuring that our babies go to great homes and we don't know you personally (yet). Understand that this is an adoption of a beautiful little soul that deserves the absolute best life. OFFICER DOMINIQUE LUCA was found in a lady's back yard in San Jacinto, California. Her dogs kept chasing them out. She ended up catching him and his siblings (CAPTAIN JESSICA CORTEZ, OFFICER CHRIS ALONSO, OFFICER JIM STREET and SERGEANT DANIEL "HONDO" HARRELSON. When we arrived at the TNR clinic, we realized that these tiny guys would not survive on the street. So we had to find fosters for them to get them socialized. Our rescue actually caught more cats in that neighborhood that were extremely friendly. And you will find them all with names from the show S.W.A.T. Meet OFFICER DOMINIQUE LUCA, a orange mackerel tabby from San Jacinto, California whose quiet charm and warm stripes make him a calm and captivating companion in the right environment. With his soft orange coat marked by those classic swirling tabby patterns, OFFICER DOMINIQUE LUCA carries himself with a quiet grace—and just a hint of undercover mischief. While he may not rush into the spotlight, give him a gentle hello and a safe, peaceful corner, and you’ll find a sweet friend who watches the world with curious orange eyes. He’s not the bold type, but he is full of playful surprises once he feels safe. OFFICER DOMINIQUE LUCA’s heart lights up at the sight of wand toys. The swish and flutter of a feather on a string is pure magic to him. And if you’ve got a tube of Churu? Oh, you've just made a lifelong friend. His love for toys knows no bounds—he’ll quietly entertain himself with anything from a crinkly ball to a soft plush mouse. He may not meow for attention, but he’s always tuned into the fun, quietly pouncing and batting with a secret smile. He does very well with other cats who are kind and respectful—no bullies, please! OFFICER DOMINIQUE LUCA enjoys having feline company nearby, especially those who share his mellow energy. As for humans, he appreciates gentle, calm souls who won’t startle him. He’s not one to leap into laps right away, but he warms up at his own pace and may one day surprise you with a soft headbutt or a purr you didn’t know he had. This sweet boy thrives in a calm, loving home with caregivers who understand the beauty of a quiet connection and the joy of slow trust. He needs a family who will let him blossom in his own time, and who will celebrate every little step of his journey. Are you ready to welcome a tender-hearted tabby into your life, someone who plays softly, watches intently, and loves deeply in his own quiet way?
