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
We thought we had a home for Nuggest but the adopter had a change in her living situation and is no longer available. So, here we go again!! Nugget is a foster who came to us when he was 4-weeks old. He was raised by humans from the time he was 3-weeks old, so he loves people. He is now 4 months old. He has been fixed and has his rabies shot. He is very playful and energetic but will also lay in your arms/lap for hours. He purrs all the time. No cost but if you want to contribute to future foster efforts, we will take a donation!

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.

Charlie is 11. He is a very sweet cat. Never had territorial issues in the past but he is having issues with my wife's cat. They keep fighting and I worry he's stressed as a result. He would need to be the only cat or live with a female to avoid territory issues. Other than that, he's the best cat.

Spot is a very sweet, friendly, playful cat , lap cat. Got along fine with my other cat until August. Since then he has been bullying her. She is very timid and it took her over a year to be comfortable with me so rehoming her would be detrimental. I believe he would be doing well as an only cat.

Story
Shadow is a sweet little guy and a purr machine. Please help find a loving home for this sweet boy. He loves to sit on your lap and follow you all around (hence why i named him Shadow). He loves to play with cat toys and has youthful energy. He enjoys being in charge and should be placed in a home without other kitties at least in my experience. To be fair we have three males so he may be different in a different environment . He is litter box trained and loves the sunshine. Also does not claw furniture. We found him outside in September 2023 and he appears to be abandoned. He is microchipped but the contact information was never updated. We placed info on Facebook, Pawboost, Nextdoor, and locally to no avail. :(
