Story
This adorable kitten is Dragon. He is 9-weeks-old and has a soft shorthaired grey coat. Dragon is at a foster home, not at our shelter. His foster says "Dragon is pure entertainment. He’s endlessly playful – always sneaking around corners, pouncing at nothing, and getting sudden bursts of zoomies. When you reach for him, he usually thinks it means it's time to play and will flip onto his back or swat at your hand, doing his best to keep his claws in. Post-nap is the prime time for affection, and he enjoys pets, short snuggles, and purrs more every day." Dragon is vaccinated for age and healthy. His adoption fee is $225 (includes neuter surgery). If you would like to meet/adopt Dragon, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-forms. Email foster@daws.org with questions. Dragon can't wait to meet you!

Story
This adorable kitten is Tori. She is 9-weeks-old and has a soft shorthaired black coat. Tori is at a foster home, not at our shelter. Her foster says "Tori is tiny, all black, and incredibly sweet. She has a bit of everything – playful, calm, curious – but more than anything, she loves affection. She starts purring as soon as she’s close to you and is happiest being held or perched on a shoulder, snuggled in and quietly keeping watch. Despite her size, Tori has a huge appetite and a lot of confidence. She eats well, is fearless around people, and holds her own with her much bigger, very energetic brother during playtime." Tori is microchipped, vaccinated for age and healthy. Her adoption fee is $225 (includes spay surgery). If you would like to meet/adopt Tori, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-forms. Email foster@daws.org with questions. Tori can't wait to meet you!

Story
Azlan is ready to steal your heart! Perfect in every way, he is ready to give you the snugs and love both of you deserve!! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/cat Azlan is a sweet guy who just wants snugs and attention. He loves his treats, his toys, and his cuddles. He will even grab your hand if he's not done with pets! He is a young adult, so he's a little calmer than his kitten and teenage foster siblings. He is not a troublemaker and gets along well with the other animals in his foster home. This orange gentleman is going to be the perfect addition to his new forever family! This handsome little boy was found out on the street, waiting to be rescued. Thankfully, now this sweet little guy is safe, thriving, and looking for his forever home. Could it be you??! Azlan is ~4 years old, neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in great health. He does a great job of keeping his litter box tidy. All he needs now is a forever home! He has met a large dog, and with slow introductions to a calm, cat-savvy pup, we think he could learn to love a new dog friend. He was rescued by a good Samaritan and they are so happy he gets to live the inside cat life!! The adoption application can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Azlan is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along these routes. ——— ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: When you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you're doing more than giving your new family member a home. Each adoption fee pays for a cat on the streets of Houston to get fixed, helping end the cycle of overpopulation in a rough environment. We thank you so much for your contribution to our efforts!

Meet Lady Jane! This little lady is ready to be your new best friend! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/ This precious gal is ready to snuggle her way into your heart. She is a darling girl who wants to be your new best friend. She loves to play hard (especially with her brothers) and then settle down for a good nap with her kitten and human friends. She's a good little gal who is looking for her forever home!! Her three brothers have already been adopted but little Lady Jane is still waiting for her turn!! Lady Jane and her brothers were rescued from living outside on the harsh streets of Houston by a good Samaritan. They are so happy they get to live the inside cat life!! Lady is ~6 months old, spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in great health. She does a great job of keeping her litter box tidy - all she needs now is her forever home. Lady Jane has not met a dog before, but with slow and careful introductions to a well-behaved dog we think she will do great with a new pup sibling! Priority will be given to applicants interested in adopting a pair of kittens or who have patient, playful resident cats or dogs at home. Adopt Lady and maybe one of her adorable siblings, and double the love, double the purrs, and double the fun!
