My story

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

GENTLY ASKS FOR ATTENTION

 

DOB 8/14/18

Hey there, everyone. I’m Hera, who was named after the Queen of the Greek gods. I’m a sweet, playful, and beautiful tortie who gently (clawlessly) paws at Foster Meowmy when I want to lure her over for some individual attention. I may even give her hand a soft, good-natured love-bite, but I don’t have a mean bone in my body. You see, after many years of my being deprived of hooman love, I’m luxuriating in whatever affection Foster Meowmy and I can now exchange.

I had been a stray who'd had multiple litters over several years. I was worn out because I barely had time to recuperate before I became pregnant again. A nice lady decided to “stop the cycle” and rescued me and my “fresh” litter, the #Greek-god-gang of four kittens. Unfortunately there was house fire where this nice lady lived, so we then went to another foster home before we ultimately ended up with our Foster Meowmy.

I was dirty, dehydrated, and could barely breathe when I first arrived, and the vet diagnosed that my problem was asthma. Thank heavens that Foster Meowmy is a very experienced HOPE volunteer who initially administered breathing treatments. I’m delighted to report that, after my respiratory therapy and my living in a low-dust, clean environment for awhile, my breathing is very much improved.

Now that I’m fully retired from being a doting momma, I’m ready to find my forever home where loving affection and attention can be lavished upon ME and not always on my kittens. Foster Meowmy says that as long as my new home is low-dust and clean, my asthma should be kept under control with no further treatments. I hope you’ll arrange to meet me! My heart has so much love to give --- all I need is YOU!

If you are interested in Hera 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.
