Meet Pearl, an adorable little kitty waiting at the Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center in Dallas for her forever home. She is a tiny grey cat at only 6 pounds with adorable little “vampire teeth” — but don’t worry! She is quite satisfied with cat food. Pearl is an older cat at 13-and-a-half who came to the SPCA as a stray. She does have some health situations due to her age, so she is available as a foster whereby all her medical care will be taken care of by the SPCA of Texas. Anyone looking for a lovable cat who is well past her kitten craziness would do well to pay Pearl a visit.

Adult dogs and cats are normally a $75 adoption fee from the SPCA of Texas. Puppies and kittens under the age of six months are $150. Adoption fees vary for small mammals, equestrian and livestock. Fee includes spay/neuter surgery, age-appropriate vaccinations, a heartworm test for dogs six months and older and a FIV/FeLV test for cats four months and older, initial flea/tick preventative and heartworm preventative, a microchip, 30 days of PetHealth Insurance provided by PetHealth, a free 14-day wellness exam with VCA Animal Hospitals, a rabies tag and a free leash. The Jan-Rees Jones Animal Care Center is open to the public seven days a week, noon-6 p.m. Appointments are required for foster animals and animal housed in the Russell E. Dealey Animal Rescue Center. Please browse available animals at SPCA.org/FindAPet and visit SPCA.org/DogAdopt to inquire about a dog or SPCA.org/CatAdopt to inquire about a cat.
