Snowshoe kittens & cats in McKinney, 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

Crystal is very playful and enjoys all kinds of toys. She is SUPER affectionate and loves human attention. She enjoys being petted and likes being held. She would LOVE a forever home with a person who is home all day. She thrives with love and attention, and has really been enjoying helping her foster mom work from home. Crystal is blind in one eye and she was likely born that way. It doesn't impact her quality of life and there's nothing medically that needs to be done. Crystal does have a history of being in a multi-cat home; however, we do believe she would love to be an only kitty and have all the attention lavished upon her. Crystal ended up in rescue because her owner passed away so she's had a LOT of change in her life lately! Crystal is FIV+. If you're not familiar with FIV, it stands for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). It is a virus that is not transmittable to other species and only spread from cat-to-cat via blood - so deep bite wounds. It does not negatively affect a cat's life or lifespan, nor does it impact their quality of life. It's really important that if an FIV+ cat shows signs of illness, they are taken to the vet immediately as they can take a bit longer to recover. Additionally, when FIV+ cats are taken for yearly check-ups at the vet, it’s important that their teeth are also checked as some FIV+ cats can have above average dental disease.

Tira is just under 3 years old, gets along great with us, our kids, our other cat, and our birds, but she will not get along with the dog. We have tried separating their space, giving them as much room away from each other as possible, but if she feels like the dog has been in her space, she will act out. This can be up to the rare case of using the bathroom outside the litter box or general misbehaving, like knocking things off the counter directly above the dog bed, and that is the reason we are looking to rehome her. She is very sweet and snuggly and great with our kids. Most of the time, she is either playing with one of her many toys or sleeping as cats do. We are sad to make the decision to let her go, but when she has decided that the dog is too much for her by existing, she seems very stressed, and we do not want that for any of the animals.

Meet Frankie! This adorable, spirited girl is looking for her forever home and is ready to bring lots of personality and love into your life. Frankie is a big, sweet chunk of joy who thrives as an only kitty, and she’s eager to be the queen of her castle. While her previous home had to let her go due to allergies, Frankie is now searching for a family that understands her unique needs.Frankie does well with most dogs, as long as they respect her space, but she’s definitely not a fan of other cats—she wants all your attention to herself! She can be a little shy at first and takes her time adjusting to new people or changes in her environment, but once she settles in, she’ll be your best friend. Frankie is affectionate, loves being in the same room as her humans, and will shower you with cuddles and attention. She’ll let you know exactly what she wants with her sweet meows—whether it’s for more love, food, or a cozy spot to nap!Frankie would thrive in an active home with adults or older children who can give her the time and space she needs to feel comfortable. She does best in a calm, secure environment and can be a bit stressed in high-energy situations, so she’s not the best fit for young kids. Frankie is a cat that will bond deeply with her humans and, in return, offer plenty of snuggles and affection. With a bit of patience and experience handling a cat with a strong personality, you’ll see the loving, loyal companion that Frankie can be.Plus, Frankie is no slouch when it comes to guarding her territory—she’ll let you know if there’s an intruder (no joke!). If you`re looking for a fun, feisty, and devoted cat to call your own, Frankie might just be the perfect fit. Could you be the one to give her a loving home where she can truly thrive?
