My story

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

LOVES ALL AGES OF HOOMANS

 

DOB 4/1/24

Hey there, everyone! I’m Rock, a very sweet, friendly, outgoing, affectionate, and playful “bicolor” gal who loves to be around my foster pawrents as well as the resident big dog. “Bicolor” means that I’m mostly white with dark gray on my head, back, and tail. As my photo testifies, I love to climb on a big uphostered chair and look adorable as I hug its back. I also love playing soccer with anything that rolls – my jingle-bell plastic balls, paper wads, or even tennis balls.

A San Marcos Good Samaritan noticed me when I was about five weeks old as I wandered around the apartment dumpster and tried to find food. Of course he fell in love with me and, because my momma and siblings were nowhere in sight, he brought me inside to safety. Since there were a lot of gray rocks near the dumpster, he christened me Rock, even though I’m a sweet and dainty female. He reluctantly admitted that he shouldn’t keep me, so his mom in Houston became my foster meowmy and promised to find me a fantastic family who’ll love me just as much as he did.

Now I’m all ready to find my forever home. Although I’m pretty overwhelmed at the noise and chaos during adoption events, once I’m back home where I feel comfy, I’m my typical easy-to-approach, playful, and congenial self. Although I haven’t been around cats in my foster home, I’ve done great with the big dog and all ages of hoomans – adults and kids -- in my foster home.

If you’re looking for a beautifully marked kitty who loves people and giant dogs, I’m the gal for you! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU! Arrange to meet me today!

HOPE ID 24-1012-S080

If you are interested in Rock 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.
