It's a bit fuzzy, because the cats in the books can talk, but they are not generally understandable by anything that is not another cat. It's a basically realistic universe.
The space smelt vaguely of feathers, straw and disinfectant, and it was dark, and there was a suggestion of rising damp on the nearest wall, but it was perfect. Agent Trojanhorse of the Department of Bad Slash looked around it with an approving smile on her face, and dropped the cardboard box she was carrying. It raised a puff of dust as it landed.
The first thing Trojie pulled from her box was a fluorescent light tube. And a stepladder. Once she had the place properly illuminated, she extracted cleaning products.
Three days later, two concerned figures - one short, blond and male, the other tall, redheaded and female - found her mucking out practically fossilised Hippogriff dung from one of the stalls.
'Trojie?'
The agent in question raised her head. 'Yes?' she asked brightly.
'Are you okay?' asked Pads. 'I haven't seen hide nor hair of you for ages.'
'I'm perfectly fine,' said Trojie. She peered at the stall. 'And it looks like I'm finished, too.'
'Finished?' asked Oscar.
'Yep, finished. All clean.' Trojie looked around the place once more, and smiled. 'The Cute Animal Friend Adoption Agency is once more open for business!'

Basically, it seems like the CAF Adoption Agency has been sadly neglected for a long time. Agent Trojie, in the interests of not filling her RC with homeless animals any more than it has already been filled, has volunteered to start it back up again.
So if anyone comes across Cute Animal Friends or miscellaneous minis for continuua who don't already have keepers of lists of minis, feel free to email me at trojanhorseshadowfax AT gmail DOT com and I'll keep track of them. And if you'd like to ADOPT a retrained CAF or need a specific kind of animal for a mission (horses, dogs, etc, perhaps), feel free to get in contact with me and we'll see what I can sort out.
Would redeemable characters from Warriorverse badfic count as Cute Animal Friends or possible agents? They'd be cats, so that's why I'm asking. There are a lot of characters in Sue-fics who are mentioned in the lists of characters and then never again or named in the fic once and given no personality, so you might need some help. Agent Nocia would be happy to help in the Cute Animal Friends Adoption Agency, once she and Agent Kierra are written up. My agents, Tirya_Moonflame's agents and jabbuk d'eldrin's agents are currently taking care of the Mini-Sharpteeth (miniature mountain lions) from that universe.
I would say the difference would be - if they're sentient/sapient, they should be Agents - if they were written in to be pets, they can come to the CAF agency :)
And help is always welcome!

Drake will help out. After all, he was a CAF when he started and if not for a mistake, he might have been put to death instead of having found a good home.
Agent Adder is a bit of an animal freak, and does not tolerate the slaying of cute non-humyn animals. Particularly kittens-- *attention is diverted* ADDER! DEUCE! PUT THE FOSSILIZED DUNG DOWN!
