My story

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

BUNNY-SOFT FUR AND COPPER-PENNY EYES

 

DOB: 5/11/24

Hey there, everyone! I’m Riley, a sweet, loving, and playful “bicolor” fella who loves being loved on. Bicolor means that I’m half white with cream tabby on my head, back, and tail. I have fur that’s soft as a bunny’s and big golden-globe eyes.

Foster Meowmy is a star in my book because she gently strokes and coos over me when I snuggle in her lap. I just luxuriate when she lavishes me with attention! Plus we have fun when she waves the feather wand toy over my head or snakes it around the room for me to chase. I’m quite the soccer striker who entertains myself quite nicely by batting sparkly crinkle balls and furry mice around the room.

When I was about four months old, I was spotted meandering around the feeding station of a colony of community cats across from an elementary school. I was all alone -- an orphan with no momma or siblings in sight. Although I was friendly and playful, I wouldn’t allow anyone to come close to me. So a HOPE volunteer came to my rescue, trapped me, and turned me over to the care of my Foster Meowmy.

When I first arrived in my foster home, I was very tame but shy, which indicates that maybe I'd previoulsy been someone's pet. However, once I settled in and realized that my foster home was bursting with amenities, I warmed up to Foster Meowmy pretty quickly. I heard her tell someone, "Riley just needed to be loved up." Recently she’s allowed me to explore the house outside my foster room. There I encountered her resident kitties, and I’ve discovered that they can be great friends and playmates.

Now I’m ready to find my forever home. Could that be with you? If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate, cuddly companion for yourself, your family, or perhaps another kitty too, I’m your man! Arrange to meet me so you can touch my plush bunny fur and gaze into my big copper-penny eyes. It’ll be hard to resist not taking me home with you because I’m sure to steal your heart.

If you are interested in Riley 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.
