Dexter is a male cat I found with his sister, in lorimor Iowa with no momma as she got sick and passed away. Dexter was a runt with an infected eye and is now bigger and a bully to his sister. Its ok though she fights back. Dexter loves attention and LOVES treats. He knows how to sit! He’s also very cuddly.

Story
Dee Dee and her brother Dexter were found in lorimor Iowa with no momma as she got sick and passed, so without proper nutrition at a very young age she is very small for her age as of right now. She loves people once you’ve gotten her heart, she’ll lick you and give you kisses all day long, and may nibble your ear. She is INCREDIBLY smart and very good driven.

Story
Spookaloo is 7 years old. He is a sweet boy who just wants snuggles. He loves to rub faces and follow you around the house. He will herd you to his food dish if he can see the bottom, even if there's still enough food in there to last for a week. He loves to go outside, but only under the cover of darkness. He will come back in within an hour every time. He gets anxious in new places. And will probably hide for the first week he's in your home. He does not get along with dogs and it's very rare he likes another cat. He does well with kids, but does not like to be played rough with. Rehoming due to an upcoming move and time away from home. The time away from home can be up to two weeks at a time. I want him to go to a home where his love cup will be filled daily and he can live out his days in comfort. I'm hoping I can find him a home through here. I do not want to put him in a shelter.

Story
Lunar came to us last summer with her dad Midnight. She was named by the girl nextdoor. She was 6 lbs then. She is now between 9-10. We added her to our TNR register colony outdoors. She was brought to ARL, a vet, and a neigborhood person because she was trying to get in their house. After the third time I brought her indoors last fall. We have been working with her. We already have 3 indoor cats. She is potty and cage trained. She will come when you call by name. She has also had her pneumonia shots. She will lick and play bite at the same time. Working with her on this. Our reason for rehoming is she chases our other cats. This is creating a lot of tension, I have her on Fluoxetine to relax- liver flavored with pill pocket. She chows down with no problem. She is still chasing the cats. She knows she has down wrong and will head to her room for me or go in the cage. She knows wrong but still does it. thanks for your time

Story
Finn and Olly are brothers and are bonded. They are both great cats but unfortunately I’m moving and can’t take them with me. Finn is very cuddly and great with kids. Both of my cats are declawed on the front paws. Finn loves balloons and will carry one around every where he goes.

Story
God's Dogs Rescue plus Kitties does NOT transport any cats or kittens in or out of the state of Texas. It is too stressful for the cats or kittens to be transported long distances, especially when enclosed in a vehicle containing dogs and puppies. Thank you for your understanding. ONLY AVAILABLE IN TEXAS Introducing Kira, the enchanting female cat with a captivating ebony-colored Tabby coat. This Domestic Shorthair beauty has a unique charm that will surely leave you spellbound. Kira has a mysterious way of stealing hearts with her mesmerizing gaze. She loves to sit gracefully and observe the world around her, making her the ultimate observer and companion. With her wise and alluring eyes, she'll make you feel like you're the center of her universe. She is a low maintenance cat, but she does love pets and playtime. Her favorite toys have ribbons or feathers on a stick, and she will happily chirp as she chases them. She's quite the coquette she-cat when feather or string toys are involved! Kira also licks/grooms whoever she is cuddling with, human or cat friend alike. She is good with dogs, provided they don't crowd her too much or chase her around. This cat can only be adopted in the state of Texas and has an adoption fee of $100.
