Animal Adoption Center & Low-Cost Veterinary Clinic
Dog Viewing, Adoptions, and Clinic by Appointment
Follow us on Instagram: The Pixie Project is committed to changing the image of a “rescue” or shelter animal. While some animals come to the Pixie Project seeking medical or behavioral attention not accessible in a typical shelter, many Pixie Project “kids” are professionally trai

ned, family friendly pets whose circumstances have left them in need of a new home. With a fully stocked non-profit pet supply store and a knowledgeable and supportive staff trained in the art of “pet matchmaking” adopting a pet through the Pixie Project feels more like a personalized dating service than your mom’s blind date set up. The Pixie Project also serves a unique support function working tirelessly to connect pet owners with the resources they need to keep their pets with them.

If you are interested in these two, you’re barking up the right tree! Oakleaf & Branch are a lovely bonded pair brown tabbies. We can’t say for sure that they are mother and son, but it certainly seems likely. Oakleaf is a 2 year old female, and Branch is an 11 month old male. They can be a little bit shy around people when they are separated, but their confidence grows in each other's presence. These two could likely integrate successfully into a home with another resident cat, but would rather not live with a dog. If you’d like to adopt Oakleaf & Branch, fill out our cat adoption application (on our website) today! They would join your home spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped!

Oakleaf & Branch are currently housed at our partner pet store, Pets on Broadway, located at 2762 NE Broadway. Drop in and say hi to them anytime during business hours! ❤️🐱🐱

I may be a little crusty, but I come from a good mother!

Meet Sourdough! He is a 2 year old, male, shorthaired, Siamese fella. Some of his favorite hobbies include meowing, headbutting, and eating. He has also been known to explore, and even play!

Sourdough does not like other cats, so he would do best in a home where he can be the only loaf in your pantry. If you’d like to come meet this stud, fill out our cat adoption application on our website today! ♥️🍞

Meet Noelle, the charming Heeler-Aussie mix who is ready to find her forever home! Noelle embodies the best of her herding breed heritage—smart and intuitive—without any of the usual anxiety. She loves to mix it up, playing and running with a variety of dog pals, yet she has this adorable habit of checking in for a quick hug, making sure she’s still your number one.

Noelle is on a mission to share her boundless love with a family that will cherish her intelligence and spirited personality. With her striking black and white face and mesmerizing eyes—one blue, one brown—she’s sure to catch your gaze. Whether you’re out on a trail or winding down at home, Noelle adjusts beautifully, energetic enough to be your adventurous sidekick, yet calm enough to cozy up at your feet after a day’s adventures.

Her endearing nature has already won the hearts of everyone at her foster camp. Now, she’s just waiting to win yours! Could Noelle be the missing piece to your family puzzle? She’s more than ready to meet you and find out. We believe this pup would thrive best in a home without any kitties or small children. Please fill out our dog application (available on our website) to learn more and meet Noelle! ♥️🐶

Magical pug alert! We have an amazing duo, that have snorted and grunted their way into the hearts of all the staff here. They are a bonded pair who love to romp and play, seeing these two get the zoomies is an experience you don’t want to miss. They are a little chatty with the barking but that is only because they are so excited about everything, everyone, and purely existing. They do well with other pups, cats, and kids but we would still recommend no children under 5.

These two social little butterflies are looking for a family that can keep them happy, healthy, and stimulated. As much as they love to play they also love to snooze and snore, which as you can imagine is quite the audible symphony.

If your ready to laugh and fall in love with a couple of lumps of sugar, fill out a Dog Adoption Application on our website! ❤️🐶🐶

As we wrap up 2024, we wanted to take a second to say a huge THANK YOU to YOU! We're doing everything we can to keep up with the need for rescue, adoption, and medical calls and we're so grateful for your support. So, very sincerely: Thank You. Thank You to our amazing adopters and fosters for opening your homes, to our volunteers who help care for our animals and provide thousands of hours of help with a thousand other projects, plus everyone who has picked up or dropped off supplies, transported animals, attended an event, shared our posts, spread the word, sent us updates on their Pixie dogs and cats, and helped in a million other ways! With your help, we've been able to expand our safety net programs to reach more pets and people with no other options--but we couldn't do it without you.

If you're able to help one more time this year, we have links to our donation site, our Give!Guide page, and our Wish List below. Thank you for helping us hit the ground running in 2025. ❤️🐱🐶

Get a load of this buttery smooth Biscuit!

Biscuit is a female, 7 and a half year old, short haired, torbie. She is a total sweetheart, with no reports of torbi-tude at all! She spends most of her days here lounging about and soaking up attention from our staff.

She hasn’t been brave enough to investigate the other cats, so we aren’t sure if she’d like to live with any other cat buddies. If you’d like to meet Ms. Biscuits, fill out our cat adoption application today! ❤️🐱

Crime fighter or not, Batgirl would be a great addition for anyone looking for an awesome sidekick. However, she is perfectly capable of handling any scenario on her own and would prefer to only have the human variety as her allies. (No kitties or dogs please) Besides already being in the perfect attire, Batgirl is ready for any new adventure and can’t wait to meet her new crew. Batgirl is a medium haired tuxedo female, she is a little over 3 years old, and will come to you spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Please fill out a cat adoption application on our website today if you are ready to have this Batgirl by your side! ❤️🐱

The sequel you’ve been waiting for is finally here! Ernest Gets Adopted! Ernest is a 12 year old, male, long haired tuxedo. He’s a very mellow guy, content to lounge around and be pet & brushed. Because of Ernest’s FIV+ status, he would do best as either a solo cat, or with other FIV+ roommates. If you’d like to meet Ernest, please fill out our cat adoption application today! He’ll join your home neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped for an adoption fee of $100. For more info on FIV+, check out Ernest's full bio on our website: www.pixieproject.org ❤️🐱

🎵 Meowing in the moonlight! This cat here is out of sight, they don’t bark and they don’t bite. They keep things loose, they keep things light. Everybody’s meowing with Ms. Moonlight! 🎶

Moonlight is a 1 year old, female, short haired, tabby. She loves to explore the nooks of her foster house, watch birds through the windows, or nap on (or under) the couch. She loves to be pet and has the loudest purr. She is definitely an introvert and seeks her alone time when needed, but is so friendly and will make it known when she’s ready for attention again.

Moonlight has lived with other feline friends before, but she hasn’t shown a lot of interest in other cats here. She could likely cohabitate successfully with another feline friend, but may take a little while to come around. If you’d like to meet Moonlight, fill out our cat adoption application today! ❤️🐱

You don’t wanna wait! For this cat to become yours, so get down here and adopt them today. Otherwise you’re gonna be looking as sad as James Van Der Beek, and nobody wants to see that. We don’t know too much about Dawson but we do know he is a great catch and quite the stud. We guess Dawson to be about 2 years old and is well versed in cat-napping, lounging, and just straight chilling. We’ve offered to let him free roam around the adoption center but he just wants to stay in bed and keep tabs from his cozy house. If Dawson sounds like the perfect catch please fill out our cat adoption application today!❤️🐱

Becoming a monthly donor is the best (and easiest!) way to make sure Pixie can reach the cats and dogs who need us most. Recurring donors provide immediate help--but are also a consistent source of support allowing us to say 'yes, we can help' to the pets and people with nowhere else to turn. If you're able and interested in helping, sign up today at pixieproject.org/donate and select the 'monthly' option. Our cats and dogs (and people!) say Thank You!! ❤️🐱🐶

Oh no--we need a new 'froamer!' This cleaning utility cart is super helpful for keeping our kennel area super sanitized and will cost around $1200 to replace. We're reaching out to vendors to get it ordered ASAP--but if you're able to help us cover any of the cost of this piece of equipment, our cats and dogs (and staff!) will be incredibly appreciative. Donate here: https://www.pixieproject.org/donate/
