Hey there, everyone! I'm Toothless, and I got my name because my personality is akin to that of Toothless, the king of the dragons in the animated film series "How to Train your Dragon." Yes, I have to admit that I'm also missing my front teeth, but more on that later. I'm a sweet, friendly, and loving yet powerful-looking 18-pound brown tabby fella with big olive-green eyes. I absolutely love cuddling as well as hanging out with hoomans of all ages, which includes kids. My love language is tiny love-bites, which Foster Meowmy thinks are extra cute since they're all gums and no teeth.
I once had a home, which explains why I approached Foster Meowmy as a friendly stray in a school parking lot. I had been injured very badly and trusted her enough to solicit her help, and thank heavens she came through like a champ. I had probably been mauled by a dog or coyote because I had large gashes on my chest and legs as well as a gigantic patch of skin on my shoulder that had been ripped off down to the muscle. What do you expect - I had no front teeth to defend myself! It's absolutely amazing that I survived as a toothless outdoor kitty, but I did!
Anyway, I allowed her to pick me up, and I purred on her lap the whole way to the vet. The vet was amazed that I weighed 11 pounds even though I was skin and bones. (I keep trying to tell everyone that I'm a gentle giant!) The vet thought that I possibly lost my teeth when I was run over by a car at some point. I was still intact and covered in old scars, so the vet thought that I'd been homeless and fighting other tomcats for a while.
Before I left the vet, I was neutered, vaccinated, and placed on antibiotics. Sure enough, I tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), which I probably contracted from a deep bite wound when another cat attacked me. (Unlike Feline Leukemia, FIV is NOT passed on "casually" by sharing food bowls and litter boxes with other household cats.) Being FIV positive means that I should live an average life span as long as my dental health is routinely monitored and prompt attention is given to any urinary-tract or upper-respiratory infections.
Now that my recent battle injuries have healed, I’m looking for the loving, forever home that I truly deserve. I’m terribly afraid of the cat-friendly dog in my foster home. I hiss and growl at him because he's truly a giant, but fortunately he just ignores me. Nevertheless, I’d probably do best in a new home without very large dogs (and territorially aggressive cats) to upset my tranquility.
If you're looking for a gigantic love bug who looks like the bouncer at a speak-easy, I'm the boy for you! Arrange to meet me today! I promise that I'm a perfect gentleman with immaculate manners, and you'll surely fall in love with me the minute you meet me. My marshmallow heart has so much love to give - all I need is YOU!

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.

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.
