SASSY AND BEAUTIFUL  DOB 1/1/17 Hi there! I’m Barbie, an affectionate, sweet-faced bicolor tabby gal who’s mostly white with silver tabby on my head, torso, and tail. I’m an outgoing, spunky, but opinionated little lady who absolutely loves to cuddle in my foster meowmy’s lap. I’m a playful girl whose favorite things are kitty tunnels, boxes, and toy mice. When I need a 'time out' after playing or from my housemates, I  prefer to bask in sunbeams on the windowsill or curl up on top of the refrigerator. I get along pretty well with other foster kitties and would do well in a household with a laid-back cat or dog but probably not with small children. Arrange to meet me today! HOPE ID 20-0501-G004 If you are interested in Barbie and would like to fill out a 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, email us at hope@homelesspets.net and a volunteer will get back to you.

GOOFY, SASSY FELLA DOB 8/24/19 Howdy everyone! I’m Godzilla, a goofy, sassy, curious, and energetic brown tabby fella who’s proud of my monster-name. I may be a big boy like Godzilla, but I’m a sweet marshmallow at heart. I absolutely LOVE people and the cuddles that we share. I get along great with the other gentle cats in my foster home as well as a service dog who drops by occasionally. I’m accustomed to the calm and quiet of my foster home, so I’d probably do best in a home without chaos and without kids. During Tropical Storm Imelda, my sister Mothra and I, the #monster-duo, were found as orphan kittens with no momma in sight. My foster mom heard my crying on a driveway, and she says that I’ve continued to let everyone know my opinions ever since. I was the runt of my litter and was bottle-fed by my foster pawrents. Boy did I love my bottle! Those “nursing” sessions ended up being a great time to bond with my humans and probably explain why I’m so sociable with people. The bottle has now been replaced with cat treats, which have probably contributed to my “plus-size.” If you’re looking for a friendly feline companion who’s past the mayhem of kittenhood, I’m your man! Arrange to meet me today! I promise to leave tiny paw prints all over your heart.

"MOST WONDERFUL OF KITTENS" DOB 4/7/22 Howdy everyone! I’m Tango, a loving and mellow yet funny and lively red tabby fella with a warm personality and a great sense of humor. Foster Meowmy describes me as “the most wonderful of kittens who deserves an A+ home.” Next to a pile of debris in the Lindale area, I was found in the street as an orphan with no momma in sight. I fit right into my foster home along with several other rescued kittens who were my same age. I have so much fun playing with my surrogate siblings. We tumble and pounce, climb and wrestle with each other, and when we’re thoroughly exhausted from all the fun, we collapse in a kitten puddle. The three resident cats acted as my surrogate aunts and uncles who taught me everything my momma would’ve taught me if she’d been around. I also get along great with the two big dogs in my foster home, so there are a lot of households where I would fit like a glove. Arrange to meet me today! You'll fall in love with me the second you meet me. I'm all ready to settle into my A+ new home! Although we’re available separately, my foster mate Little Bobbie and I think it’d be the cat’s meow if we were adopted together. I’d be happy to give you an extra kiss because we could keep each other company while you’re at work or on vacation.

RESCUED AS TINY ORPHAN, COVERED IN LEAVES & STICKS DOB 4/7/22 Hello everyone! I’m Little Bobbie, and I’m an adorable, petite dilute gray tabby with white mittens and locket. Don’t you love my sweet, angelic face? I was a two-week-old orphan, covered in leaves and sticks, when I was rescued from a field. Neighbors had witnessed dogs chasing away my momma; alas, she never re-appeared. Several cat lovers took me inside and bottle-fed me along with several other bottle-babies who were my same age. I have so much fun playing with my surrogate siblings. We tumble and pounce, climb and wrestle with each other, and when we’re exhausted from all the fun, we collapse in a kitten puddle. The three resident cats have acted as my surrogate aunts and uncles who have taught me everything my momma would’ve taught me if she’d been around.

LOVES TO BE CARRIED AROUND  DOB 7/12/21 Are you looking for a uniquely marked tabby kitty who has small cheetah-like spots on his sides instead of the typical tabby stripes? Well I’m the man! Meow! Meow, everyone! I'm Noel, your perfect feline companion! I'm a very friendly, affectionate, loving, easygoing, and active cream-colored “spotted” tabby fella. My foster mom calls me her favorite "lap cat" and her "bed buddy" because I love to snuggle. She rescued me as a baby who needed to be bottle-fed, so I love being carried around.  I live with cats and dogs, so I get along well with other cats and cat-friendly dogs.  Why am I a "special needs" kitty? I was recently diagnosed with diabetes insipidus, a rare, relatively harmless disorder that causes my body to make too much urine. It’s easily controlled with daily eye drops. However, I will need an experienced owner who can give me my drops every day and monitor my drinking as well as...um...my “output” in case the dosage needs to be adjusted by the vet. Easy peasy! No reason for you to pass me by since I’m such a lovable and loving spotted guy. Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give that all I need is YOU!

THE MARVELOUS MISS STOCKING  DOB 4/15/22 Meow! Meow, everyone! I’m very, very sweet, friendly, and curious Missy Longstocking, a sleek, elegant harlequin gal with big jade-globe eyes and who’s mostly white with large patches of dark gray. Foster Meowmy named me “Longstocking” because I’m tall with graceful legs that look to be wearing gray stockings. Meowmy is amazed that I don’t have one ounce of “catitiude,” and I heard her exclaiming that I’m the most docile cat she’s ever met. Although I’m not a big fan of being picked up, I happily curl up in Foster Meowmy’s lap and turn on my purr motor, which sounds like a perking coffeepot. We then enjoy prime-time together as she gently brushes me or offers me squeezable treats. But I’m no couch potato! No siree! I adore interactive play as Foster Meowmy waves the fishing-wand toy over my head because I can show off my acrobatic prowess as I lunge and pounce on my “prey.” I have quite a dangerous backstory. A Good Samaritan was driving down Beltway 8 when she spotted me, partially inside a bag, as I huddled in the median. Thank heavens that she’s not scared of much, so she pulled over and quickly grabbed me as cars whizzed by. When we got home, she saw that I was a little bruised, nicked, and scraped as well as very traumatized but overall healthy and uninjured. I tolerate the other cats in my foster home, but I definitely don’t love them. I haven’t been around kids, but I was fine around a small, polite dog. Since I’m friendly and well-adjusted, I might be very compatible with well-behaved children and cat-friendly dogs. If you’re searching for a beautifully marked lady-long-legs who looks like a thoroughbred racehorse, I’m your gal! Arrange to meet me so we can exchange warm cuddles and you can guess the decibels on my purr motor. Incidentally, there are advantages to adopting a young kitty like me who's past the mayhem of kitten craziness. I'll cause less chaos in your home and not be as likely to break your treasured accessories.

Chunky, Friendly , affectionateI am a cat that lives up to his name.  I was rescued after a confrontation with other cats (not my fault).  I was just roaming around searching for food and I found myself in a wrong crowd, unfortunately. I wasn't welcome in a colony of stray cats whose food resources are very limited. The situation escalated quickly and I ended bleeding from several wounds in my face.  To my benefit, a neighbor watched the ordeal, took me inside and called my foster human.  Living at my foster home, we discovered that I have food sensitivity and scratch myself to bleeding. My foster mom feeds me the right stuff and I feel and look good now. I have allergies like many people that lives in Texas but that is a very manageable condition and doesn't affect my really friendly personality. Adopt me and help me live up to my name, Lucky!  Please contact my human at Adoptablecatshouston@gmail.com for more information on how to adopt me.November 6, 2024, 12:31 am

I’m Dough(boy)! An awesome blend of orange cat energy and cuddles! A pretty brown eyed, cuddly goofball, I’m super social, fun, and rambunctious! I love kitchen towels and grocery bags, but don't expect any help washing the dishes or doing the shopping. I was born with a bad hip, but had it repaired. I have a slight limp, but you'd never guess given how fast I run around and play. I will run to greet you/guests at the door, jump on laps to watch tv, and sleep nearby (often on your chest/pillow). I’m great with cats and probably dogs. I’d also be a super entertaining and affectionate solo pet. Ready to make me part of your home? Call to meet me today! Come meet Dough: - Schedule with us (Pet Connect Rescue) to meet him. - See him at Petco on Weslayan in the glass wall cattery during business hours. - Visit him Saturday or Sunday at the Petsmart located at 2902 S.

I’m Sweet Tart! A super sweet kitten with a pseudo-black smoke coat found in a tart apartment parking lot with my brothers. While I'm a bit shy and play hard to get at first, I’m a total softie once I get to know you and relax in a new home. I absolutely love belly rubs--quick to roll over any chance I get and purr nonstop with delight. I sit by my foster while she works (in belly rub/pets reach) and sometimes on her desk, rolling all over her keyboard with cuteness. I also enjoy playtime, lounging on the balcony, and being brushed. Sometimes I can be found rolling around on bubble wrap or packing paper or trying to “catch” tennis balls/baseballs on tv (a budding sports enthusiast!). Come take care of me and maybe adopt another kitten if you have room in your heart and home! Meet me ASAP or at Petco cattery or at Petsmart 2902 S Shepherd Dr on Sat and Sun from 12-4pm.
