Snowshoe kittens & cats in Garland, Texas

Hi, I’m Hobbes and I want to share my story. I was in a home before I was surrendered to Texas CARES. It was my one and only home and I was the star of the house, that is, until my family had a baby. After that, it seems I was set aside. The wonderful people at Texas CARES took me into their rescue but that is not where my story ends. You see, I am a very special boy and have had some pretty big ups and downs. In my foster home, I was having such a time using my litter box and no one could seem to figure out why I was going outside of it. They took me to the vet, where they ran tests and more tests. That wasn’t fun, because I am not a huge fan of going into the carrier (I told foster mom all about it on the ride) but I knew it was for my own good. My foster mom, along with the medical team, tried several different things. My food was changed, my foster mom used extra litter boxes, but I still would go outside the box. There was even a time where I heard talk of euthanasia. I’m not sure what that is but it sure didn’t sound good! I know my foster mom was so frustrated and really wanted to help me, but it was tough. Finally, foster mom and the medical team, along with the vets, started me on some different antibiotics and some medicine to help with my mental state. This seemed to be what was needed for me because I now use the litter box each and every time I need to go! So, you see, it took a little time, but I am finally ready to seek out a forever home. I will have to be on my special food, which helps prevent crystals in my urine, and I may have to be on my mental meds long term, but I take them like a champ. In fact, I don’t even think it’s medicine because it looks and tastes like a chicken treat. I enjoy my prescription food as well! I do get along with dogs and I have met my foster mom's cats but honestly, I’d probably prefer just to have my very own human to myself. I won’t be going up to the adoption center, so if you’d like to meet me and have a chat, my foster family will make arrangements for you to meet me! I really hope you will take a chance on me because I am a really wonderful boy and I am ready to be your best friend!  Medical:  Special Diet - He is now on CD Urinary food both dry and wet. Fluoxetine - Compounded Treat Chews - ordered monthly and delivered to his home. November 5, 2024, 8:53 pm

Leia is a beautiful sweet 9-year-old. Through no fault of her own, she had to leave the only home she's ever knew for 9 yrs. Once she decompressed in her foster's home, it became clear she is a sweet and intelligent cat. She is a mix of  Snowshoe (Siamese and domestic short-haired) along with a little bit of calico. Leia is very affectionate and loves to be with her person.  She's a great companion for watching TV or reading on the couch and will sleep on top of you if you let her. Leia is young at heart and loves to play with her wand toy and watch the birds and squirrels outside her window. Like many Siamese she has the beautiful blue eyes and enjoys talking to you. While she was raised with two other cats, after a couple of months in the foster home, she still has not acclimated to other animals. As as a result, it would be best if she was the only princess of the house. She honestly will make a great companion for anyone looking for a kitty who wants to give and receive love.

*SPECIAL NEEDS* This is Jonah, a most handsome 2 year old Seal Point Siamese mix male. Jonah was living as a stray outside at an apartment complex. He and some of his good buddies were being fed by a good Samaritan. The lady that fed him thought he was too nice to be living outdoors, so she contacted NBCR for help finding Jonah a home. We are very glad she did! Jonah is extremely shy when you first meet him, but he gradually warms up to you and enjoys getting pets and ear rubs, and will purr in gratitude. He sure seems to like life on the inside, with a steady supply of food and naps. Jonah has tested positive for both the FIV and feline leukemia virus. Both are viruses that can impact longevity, mainly the leukemia virus. To be clear, he does not have leukemia, but carries the virus that may cause cancer in the future. Cats with this virus generally don't live a long life, maybe up to 5-6 years, although we've known a few cats that have lived to be 8 years old. (Please see links below for more resources.) Jonah is currently healthy and feeling well, and had no problem recovering from his neuter surgery or receiving vaccinations. He doesn't currently require any medication and, for the foreseeable future, should be able to live life just like a regular cat. He's a good-natured boy that take it all in stride! Jonah is microchipped and currently in a foster home. His adoption fee is $105.

Toast is a handsome Lynx Point Siamese mix male born approximately 8/23/2023. "Hello, my name is Toast! I was living in my foster mom's backyard for a while until I hurt my hip and was brought inside. My hip was fractured slightly, but now I'm fully recovered! I am a bit shy, so it may take me a bit to warm up to you, but once I do I love to play and beg for food! I get along well with the two resident cats in my foster home and am ready to make new friends. I have not been around dogs or small children." Toast is microchipped and currently in a foster home. His adoption fee is $105.  December 16, 2024, 11:21 am

Clyde and Cleveland are sweet but very shy. They will need a quiet home and some patience as they settle in a new home. Don't be surprised if they hide a little at first. But once they adjust they will beg to be petted.
