My story

Meet Dip! . 2 years oldDip is a charming young adult male cat with a big heart and an even bigger personality. Sweet, playful, and endlessly affectionate, Dip loves nothing more than to be near his people. Whether it’s snuggling under the covers, getting head and belly rubs, or supervising your daily activities, this little guy is happiest when he’s part of the action.Dip is a treat enthusiast, a catnip connoisseur, and a sunbeam-seeker who loves lounging in cozy window beds. He’s full of spunk and loves to play, though he’s still learning how to keep it gentle—so an adopter familiar with active, playful cats would be a great match.When it comes to other pets, Dip gets along best with confident male cats who respect his space. He’s had difficulty with female cats in the past and would thrive in a home without them. Dip can live with dogs, especially smaller ones, but introductions should be slow and thoughtful. If there’s a larger dog in the home, it’s best if the owner has experience managing multi-pet households to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety.A few things to know about Dip: • He’s not a fan of car rides and gets quite carsick, so transport requires extra care (think diapers and puppy pads for the trip). • He can play rough and is still mastering the art of gentle play. • A foster trial is recommended to make sure it’s a perfect fit for both Dip and his future family.If you’re looking for a cat who’s affectionate, full of personality, and loves being your little shadow, Dip might just be your guy. Interested in meeting Dip? Reach out today to learn more about this special boy and how he could be the perfect addition to your home.IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats. If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as 'Out of Town' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.May 25, 2025, 9:41 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Dip, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
