My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

SUGAR 'N SPICE AND EVERYTHING NICE

DOB 6/15/19

Hey there, everyone! I’m Marley, a beautiful, docile, playful dilute tortie gal with mesmerizing big, gold eyes. I’ve got plenty of “tortitude,” which just means that I’m like hooman little girls: “sugar 'n spice and everything nice.” I can be very sweet when I want to be, and other times I can be feisty and independent. (What woman isn’t?)

For example, I’m very friendly with dogs as well as hoomans, but I do not like other cats. Fortunately, Foster Meowmy knows how to handle my ‘tude by providing plenty of indoor enrichment – like the feather wand toy, catnip kicker toys, and food puzzles.

Foster Meowmy understands that I’ve had a challenging life that no dainty lady with a gorgeous pastel fur coat should have had to endure. The only positive thing that my first owners did was spay me. I guess they thought that spaying me gave them license to expose me to the dangers of outdoor life. Consequently, I survived being shot in my neck with a BB gun. Yikes! Lastly, my owners just abandoned me!

Fortunately, Foster Meowmy became my advocate and stepped up to the plate to foster me until HOPE could find me a much better forever home. In her words, “Marley just needs a safe place to truly blossom.” Amen! And I’m thriving in my foster home. What girl doesn’t love indoor amenities like climate control, spa days, and plenty of entertainment?

I hope my story has plucked your heartstrings and that you’ll arrange to meet me. I just know that you’ll be up for the challenge of taming my tortitude. It’s not really that hard.

If you are interested in Marley and would like to fill out an online Cat Adoption Application, please go to http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php . Submitting an application does not obligate you to adopt, but it initiates contact with us and gets the process started. If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site this feline will be this week-end, email us at hope@homelesspets.net , and a volunteer will get back to you.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adopting an animal is a very serious decision and we want to be sure that our potential adoptive families have thought about the impact of this decision carefully. To adopt an animal through HOPE, we request that you complete an Adoption Application, a copy of which is available online for cats at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php or for dogs at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php. You may fill it out online or print a copy of the application and complete it prior to arriving at an adoption session. This will expedite the adoption process and will also assist our adoption counselors in matching you to a suitable pet.

We at HOPE make every effort to match our foster pets to appropriate homes. If you feel that we are too intrusive, please understand that it is because we care about their welfare.

Fees
All animals are neutered or spayed and have received age appropriate shots prior to being adopted. We ask that you provide a $100 donation for cats and a donation of $150 for dogs when you adopt your new family member from us. This donation helps us in defraying the costs of these and other medical needs of our animals.

Go meet their pets

Mobile adoption sessions are held on the weekends. All adoption sessions run from 12:00 - 4:00 pm at a variety of locations and days as noted on our website http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-locations/. For more information, please contact us at hope@homelesspets.net

More about this rescue

Our mission is to end the homelessness of cats and dogs through foster to adoption, feral cat Trap-Neuter-Return, and education.

HOMELESS & ORPHANED PETS ENDEAVOR (HOPE) is an all-foster, no kill adoption group based in the Houston area.

HOPE covers the cost of general medical expenses for the animals in the program, such as altering, routine vaccinations and treatment for parasites. Our foster families are asked to provide food, shelter and love to the animals for which they care. They receive no payment for the services that they provide. Without them, and the other volunteers who so selflessly do what is necessary to keep HOPE afloat, it would not be possible to run this nonprofit corporation.

One aim of HOPE is to develop a network of area rescue and humane organizations which will facilitate the rescue and placement of a variety of animals. The goal is to never have to turn away an animal in need. By forming a coalition of humane and rescue groups in the Houston area, we could potentially place all animals who need a temporary home until they are placed into a permanent one.
