My story

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

DOB 12/25/18

Hey there, everyone! I’m Howell, a 12-pound gentle giant of a brown tabby with big, green globe eyes who takes the cake as far as being an extremely loving and friendly feline companion. I’m perfectly content to binge on Animal Planet and Netflix with my Foster Dad. I’ll snuggle up next to him and turn on my purr motor as soft white noise as he gently scratches my ears and chin. But I’m no couch potato! No siree! I’m like a nimble football player who, although he’s big and burly, still enjoys capering about with my toys.

I have an interesting backstory. A Good Samaritan assumed that I was feral when she trapped me as a new stray in her colony of community cats. However, during my neuter-surgery recovery, she discovered that I was friendly and therefore probably had been someone’s pet who had wandered away from home in search of love in all the wrong places. I was still intact, so I thought I was quite a Lothario. She later discovered that I had a hole in my soft palate. She reached out to some friends, and with the help of a Houston Pet Set grant, she was able to get me the surgery I needed to fix my palate. Now I’m all fixed up and feel just dandy!

That means that I’m ready to find my forever home. Could that be with you? I’m absolutely wonderful as cats go, if I do say so myself. So I’m an excellent candidate if you’re looking to adopt an affectionate cat who’s like a big, huggable teddy bear. Arrange to meet me today! By the way, I’d probably do best in a home with either no cats or younger, submissive cats

If you are interested in Howell 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.
