My story

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

ADORABLE PLAYGIRL

DOB 8/2/24

Hey there, everyone! I’m Polly #polydactyl, which means that I have 6 toes on three of my paws and 7 toes on one paw! I’m a sweet, energetic, and beautiful tuxedo gal with a sleek, shiny black fur coat and giant green globe eyes. Around Halloween, I showed up on Foster Meowmy’s back patio as a three-month-old orphan kitten with no momma or siblings in sight. I looked pretty scrawny because I'd obviously been trying to fend for myself for quite a while on the mean Houston streets. Plus I had burns on my front paws, so I could barely walk. (Antibiotics and ointment have healed them 100%).

I was so grateful that Foster Meowmy brought me inside to safety. Friendly me was thrilled to find a trio of kitty sisters who could be my aunties and teach me all that my momma would’ve made sure I learned if she’d been around. Only problem is that they are 16 years old, so they are not exactly ecstatic with my playful kitten antics. No worries! I entertain myself with the plethora of toys that Foster Meowmy has provided. I’m quite the soccer striker with my crinkle balls and catnip mice, and I love chasing the string wand-toy when Foster Meowmy wiggles it around like a snake. I have plenty of kitten energy to burn!

Now it’s time for me to find my forever home that's not a retirement community! If you’re looking for an adorable and playful beauty who’s always dressed elegantly with my white vest and gloves (that accommodate my 25 toes), I’m the gal for you! Just think of the unique polydactyl paw prints that I’ll leave all over your heart! Arrange to meet me today!

If you are interested in Polly 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.
