Story
Artemis is 5 years old and was found by a friend abandoned as a kitten in Corpus Christi Texas at 2 months old. I decided on a whim to adopt her and have had her ever since. Artemis is a very sweet cat that mostly keeps to herself, doesn't like being held, but loves affection through pets and playing. She is rather skittish around new people and in new environments but will warm up to anyone given enough time so she can introduce herself on her terms. Recently my partner and I adopted a dog and unfortunately after a lot of effort it is clear that these two just will not get along and can not cohabitate. It's clear that she is just no longer happy with the situation at home and needs a better place where she can be carefree and stress free. That combined with my partners allergies to cat made the decision to rehome Artemis be the best situation for everyone.

Story
Head and chin rubs, please!!!  Meet Coral, my beautiful tabico foster.  Coral came to me after having her left leg amputated, to gain her confidence living without a leg. Coral has come such a long way. Having her leg amputated has not slowed her down at all. She jumps, runs, plays without issue. Coral loves: food and treats, soft toys she can easily grab and cat nip. To see her growth and love grow over the last 3 months has been amazing. She went from a cat that did not really interact with me to jumping and running to me when I walk in her room. She lights up and meows at me until I pet her. Coral loves being having her head and chin rubbed as she sits there purring away.  To her future adopter: Please be patient with Coral as she adjusts to her new surroundings. She was very reserved at first, but within a month, she was playing, laying on the couch with me and loving life. Coral also loves her own space and laying in windows. She may enjoy being an only cat; however, Coral has been introduced to resident cats. She is unsure at times but only hisses, but with time and patience, I believe she would adjust perfectly fine with another laid back cat that gives her space. She does okay with my one resident cat that comes into her area. That’s because he just wants to be in the space and doesn’t bother her. She is a girl who just loves her humans and cuddling.  Coral is playing with her foster family.  Please ask to meet her and have some playtime!  Please submit our no-obligation Adoption Application for a meet and greet or to adopt:  https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/.  Thank you!  (Foster:  Joanna S.)  November 7, 2024, 5:25 pm

Story
Poppy is a beautiful, young adult calico who is equal parts affectionate and independent. She would be a great companion in a quiet household. Poppy prefers not to be squashed with cuddles, but she is so sweet and affectionate! She is OK with other cats with a proper, gradual introduction, but she really prefers to be the only kitty “royalty” in the house.  Although Poppy is mellow and independent at times, she also gets the “zoomies” and then plays with every toy she encounters along the way (especially her big catnip mouse). It's quite entertaining! She likes to play with her humans by chasing wand toys and pouncing on wiggling fingers under a blanket. When things are quiet, she’ll curl up next to you as you read or watch TV on the couch at night.  Poppy is spayed, fully litter-trained, and up to date on her vaccinations. She isn’t a picky eater, and she prefers dry food over canned. (She looooooves treats, too!) Poppy is not comfortable around dogs. Poppy is currently playing with her foster family, and she is waiting for her forever home! Poppy is currently playing with her foster family.  Please submit our no-obligation adoption application for a meet and greet or to adopt:  https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/ .  Thank you!  (Foster: Lyn C.).

Story
Hi, My name is Penny. I am a young female Tabico, about 7 months old (as of mid-September) I am small in size, but love adventure. I like to climb and jump. I enjoy sunny windowsills. It may take me a bit to warm up to you, but I promise I will be devoted and loving. I think I should be an only cat, but would love to be adopted with one of my kittens. I have been staying with my Foster family and their pets. I am cautious around small dogs. I don’t think I enjoy the company of their big dog. Penny's kittens have been adopted.  She would love to find her forever family, too.  She is playing with her foster family until then.  Please submit our no-obligation application for a meet and greet or to adopt:  https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/ .  Thank you!  (Foster: Kelly M).   November 6, 2024, 4:07 pm

Story
Jewel was born December 27th 2023. Her mother was a calico but I do not know who her mother mated with to produce Jewel and her brother Julian. Julian is gray and white. Jewel is the spitting of her mother. I kept the kittens to train them to be my emotional support animals, unfortunately Jewel is more timid and nervous more so than her brother. She knows her name and she will respond to her name. She is vocal,not too much but she will respond when you speak to her. she is very loving and loves attention and to sleep with you. She can be a little Moody about being held but she does like affection. She can tolerate going outside in small enclosed yards she cannot handle large outside areas. Her favorite treat are freeze dried chicken hearts and chicken giblets from chewy.com. Jewel has been with me everyday of her life and I have been living in a tight space and she is mainly an indoor cat. Please treat her like she is your baby she deserves all the love and attention that she can get.

Crystal and a bunch of other cats were living in an alleyway in a not so good part of town. They were multiplying out of control and being threatened by some non cat loving people. We were asked to help, and when we went out there were a lot more than we thought but we did the best we could to try to get as many as we could. Surprisingly enough they were all pretty friendly and very sweet. They now all are spayed or neutered, vaccinated for fvrcp and rabies, flea and worm treated and tested negative for leukemia and AIDS. Now they are looking for new permanent, inside homes.

ABOUT RUSTY This handsome man is a 4-year-old tuxedo. Rusty came to us from another shelter partner, when they no longer had space to keep him. He is very outgoing and quickly became a volunteer favorite! Every morning, he greets our staff with a big meow and adorable kitty eyes. Our cattery team thinks he knows how to make them feel guilty, with one sad look, they have no choice but to sit with him for some snuggles. This affectionate boy is sure to rub against your leg or curl up in your lap. Despite being a lover, Rusty has his limits and is sure to give you a light tap or nibble to let you know he's had enough. He loves to tell you how he's feeling and what he wants. Rusty enjoys spending his days soaking up some sun and leaning into you for head scratches! **This cat has tested positive for FIV, Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Many cats with FIV can live a long and happy lifespan if kept indoors and given routine veterinary care. FIV is not contagious to people or animals other than cats. *To help Rusty find his forever home, a generous donor has sponsored his adoption fee!
