Story
Penny is a sweet, short-haired tortoiseshell cat. She spends her days sunning herself and playing with her yorkipoo friend, Louie. She has been a wonderful cat who has grown up with our family and been loved dearly by our children. She's used to a home with lots of activity and does well adjusting when there's a party or children running around! She's very quiet and independent. Our family situation has recently changed and we are looking for a loving family to adopt Penny. She receives a dose of insulin daily as a treatment for diabetes. She is up-to-date on her shots and has been spayed. She would make a wonderful companion for anyone seeking a loyal friend.

Story
Beaker is a sweet and brave little stray girl found in Oct at about 6 months old. She'd try to play with my current cat through the glass on my sliding door and eventually just walked in when I opened it. She loves attention and playing with other cats. Still has kitten energy so toys and attention from you or another cat are needed. Once her energy is gone she is content to be a lap cat. She is also very vocal when it is food or play time. She hasn't had much interest in trying to go outside. She has her shots and has been spayed recently so the cat carrier terrifies her. Also not a fan of being picked up and held. Trimming nails since the day she walked in and hasn't been an issue. Loves butt scratches. Tummy is a no no. Loves to fetch. TLDR Likes: -toys -butt scratches -laying in your lap -fetching -lasers -other cats -food Dislikes: -carrier -being in water -picking up -tummy touch -vacuum

Story
Storm was abandoned by his owners. We started taking care of him this summer, then brought him in as it started getting colder. Storm is super sweet, but he’s very energetic as he’s very young. He’s constantly trying to play and roughhouse with our cats, but they don’t like him and it’s causing a lot of stress on our cats, which has led to them hiding and peeing outside of the litter boxes. About a month ago, we got him spayed and his shots. I can show proof if you’d like! I believe storm will do well with an experienced cat owner. It is disheartening that we have to rehome him, but we do not think it’s fair to put this stress on our cats. I really want to find someone who will love him as he deserves and can commit to him for the rest of his life.

Story
As much as I hate to see her go Miss Ma'am wants to be the only cat in the house and she's making it quite clear. She is sweet as pie to people and I love her she's so cute and stumpy legged and has the sweetest little raspy meow. But she doesn't like other cats, I adopted her from the pound to be a friend to my male cat after my dog passed and I think she's adding to his trauma lol I had her since March and I've tried, even moved her with me from Philly to give her more time. So as long as you don't have another cat you will absolutely have the perfect chill little old (7) lady who just wants to cuddle with you, get belly rubs and play with toys by herself. She loves to play but doesn't know how to play WITH someone but I think she'll learn, she just likes to play with twist ties when someone is in the room. Please consider giving this sweet old spice bag a chance.

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Franklin was a stray before he came to a shelter in 2023. He is orange & white with crossed eyes. He is a distinguished elderly gentlecat who prefers to spend his days napping in a sunny spot or curled up on a cushion. While initially shy, he's very human-friendly. He doesn't mind being brushed or having his nails clipped, and he's never scratched people or furniture. At his age, he no longer likes to climb cat trees or chase toys, but he makes an excellent lap cat. He'll happily eat wet or dry food. Franklin does have FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), which is not transmittable to humans but can be transmitted to other cats via deep bites. FIV weakens his immune system, so he must be kept indoors to avoid disease. He picked up multiple infections when he was in the shelter, which have since been successfully treated, and he now requires no medications or specialized treatments. He's so sweet and affectionate; if I hadn't developed cat allergies, I'd keep him forever.

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. Introducing Leo, the charming male cat with a striking Ebony/White Tabby coat. This Domestic Shorthair feline is as handsome as can be! Leo has a super soft coat that's simply irresistible to touch. Leo has a strong, almost dominant personality, a trait developed from living his first 6 months on the streets fending for himself. He would likely thrive in a young cat household. He does enjoy playing and running with other kitties, but for older cats he may play a bit rough sometimes. He doesn't mind dogs, but more often will ignore them. He would do best with an experienced cat family, because he does put up a front of being a bit of a grump. He sleeps very peacefully and adorably, and that is the best time to give him the affection and pets he wants. This cat can only be adopted in the state of Texas and has an adoption fee of $100.

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. Crunchy Granola Suite - I know it is a weird name but whatever. My foster mom and dad call me Gato to remind me that I am not a dog. (Gato means cat in another language) I like the dogs here. I play chase with them, and I will wrestle with the puppies although they are getting big and between the 2 of them, they can pin me down more often than I like. It's not fair getting ganged up on but I am a good gato, I just hiss and run and that usually takes care of that. The big dogs just walk on by me and occasionally I will swat their tails but really, they outweigh me by at least 70# so not much to play with there. I taught myself how to go in and out of the doggie door and like to lay in the sun when the weather is nice. I have been known to sneak across the street and sleep on the neighbor's porch chairs too. I probably shouldn't say that, but it is true. I will need a home with indulgent adopters or a home without the doggie door for me to sneak out of. If you are indulgent or don't have a doggie door, please let me know. I am very cuddly and like to sleep on your shoulder when you are doing dumb stuff like working on the computer or watch TV. I will also share your pillow at night if you let me and purr in your ears. Adoption fee is $150 and I am only adoptable in the state of Texas.

Story
Icarus is the cuddliest cat I have met and even just petting him or lightly touching him will get him to start purring. He loves playing with feather toys and has a crazy vertical jump. He insists on being included in conversations and will always lay between your legs when you try to sleep. I think he likes being surrounded by comfort, which is why he takes naps under blankets. He also really enjoys being carried around places so he can sniff things and rub his head on your chin. I can't keep him because after all my attempts to help him be comfortable, he still is extremely anxious and territorial around my other three cats. I have him on medication to help but he sprays in areas around the house and attacks the others when he gets the chance. I think he just needs a house he can be comfortable in because despite the issues with other cats, he is a joy to be around. I will miss him but I want the best for him.
