Story
(Central Texas Adoption Only) Meet Batgirl, a gentle and resilient kitty with a heart as soft as her fur! This sweet girl was rescued from the streets, where she struggled to survive as a starving stray. Despite her tough beginnings, Batgirl has blossomed into a loving and affectionate companion who's ready to find her forever home. Her fur is an elegant mix of white, with delicate patches of gray and black tabby markings-reminiscent of a sesame dumpling, which inspired her adorable nickname. Her coat is exceptionally soft, making cuddle sessions all the more special. Batgirl may need a little time to adjust to her new surroundings, but once she settles in, she will be deeply dedicated to her person. She has a gentle spirit and just needs a little patience as she transitions into her new home. When she's comfortable, she'll be your loyal companion, following you around with love in her eyes. If you're looking for a kitty who's as sweet as she is beautiful and who's ready for a second chance at life, Batgirl is your perfect match.

I’m a quiet guy. That means you better come find me because I’m probably into something. There’s so much to explore! I like to sleep beside you and watch you work, though I’m told I can’t sit right in front of the monitor. My sister and I would love to explore every inch of your house. Can we? ##1968371##

Story
Meet Layla  Layla is a sweet 3–4 year old tabby with big, soulful eyes and a heart full of love. After spending far too long living in an outdoor crate due to a family allergy, she’s finally getting a chance to enjoy real home life—and she’s loving it. It took Layla about a week to warm up in her foster home, but once she did, she became a total cuddle bug. She makes biscuits, purrs nonstop, enjoys belly rubs and brushing, and loves curling up in laps to watch TV. She’s even getting playful and has discovered how fun wand toys can be! Layla is gentle, affectionate, and would do best as the only pet in a calm home where she can stretch out, relax, and soak up attention. She’s more than ready for a place to truly call her own. Open your heart and give Layla the space and love she’s been waiting for  ##2450131##

Did you know Halloween hobbit-kittens exist!? Meet Frodo, the bat-cat half of a fantastic furry footed duo.  Much like his namesake, this little guy has been through some trials. He and his sister Samwise were found abandoned around 10 days old. However, despite initially being small for his size, Frodo has grown into a strong and snuggly goblin kitty! His sister Samwise was fiercely protective of her smaller brother and he absolutely adores her.  Frodo is brave and curious. One of his favorite companions in his foster home is the 100lb pitbull who thinks kittens are the best things in the world. Frodo also is very hard to scare. He grew up with chaos and a determination to destroy the vacuum. Someday it will hold still long enough for him to take it down. He also loves to help put sheets on a bed (his idea of helping isna little different from his foster mom's though!). He also loves cuddles. Snuggled naps with people or Samwise are top tier in his mind. Frodo is highly bonded to his sister Samwise and they will need to be adopted together. Samwise does have special needs. Please fully review her profile prior to inquiring about adoption. Samwise's Profile  ##2380446##

Story
Austin Siamese Rescue offers courtesy listings in an effort to assist cat owners in finding loving, responsible homes for their pets. This cat is not part of our foster program and is not under the direct care of Austin Siamese Rescue.  For further information on this cat, please contact the caretaker directly at  levamokhtari@gmail.com Garfield is a gentle, vocal orange tabby who spent his early life outdoors before finding safety with a kind foster. He’s now looking for a quiet, loving indoor home where he can truly settle in. He’s sweet, affectionate, and loves lounging on couches, cat trees, or by sunny windows. Garfield is very human-friendly and enjoys being petted and cuddled—he’ll even meow (at length!) when he wants attention or food. His activity level is low, and he’s happy relaxing most of the day. Garfield does have FIV, but he's otherwise stable and doesn’t require medication.  While great with people (including children), Garfield is best suited as the only pet, as he can be territorial around other animals—especially when it comes to food and space. He’s litterbox trained, not particularly playful, but might enjoy noisy toys or rolling balls. He’s adjusted well to indoor life, though he occasionally gets a bit stir-crazy after years outside. If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate cat with a big personality and a bigger heart, Garfield is ready to love you back tenfold. Austin Siamese Rescue assumes no responsibility for the veracity of the listing or the conduct of the caretaker in the listing. ##2411693##

Story
Franklin is a 1-year-old orange and white boy (born June 8, 2024) with a huge personality and a ton of energy. He’s playful, curious, and loves interactive games like fetch and wand toys. He purrs the second you pet him under the chin and often naps close to his person — he loves to be near you and be part of whatever’s going on. That said, Franklin has a mischievous streak. He’s very smart and high-energy, and when he’s bored or restless, he can get into things (like scratching furniture or chewing objects he shouldn’t). He’ll do best in a home where someone can give him lots of structured playtime, enrichment, and patience — ideally someone who’s familiar with active young cats. He might also thrive with another playful cat as a buddy to burn off energy. He’s fully litter-trained, healthy, and used to living indoors. Franklin will come with some of his toys, food, and comfort items to make the transition easier.

Story
Hey! I’m currently fostering these 6 beautiful babies and their brave mama after they were found during the cold front behind a dumpster, all huddled together while their mama protected them. Every one of them has the sweetest personality playful, social, and full of love. They’re also fully litter-box trained and getting more confident every day. They’re all ready to find safe, responsible forever homes. New owners must be willing to spay/neuter the kittens once they’re old enough. • The four “minis” are about 3-4 weeks old. • The older two (who mama seems to have adopted!) are about 6–7 weeks old. Reach out if you’re interested or have any questions about the kittens or mama!! Perfect blessing for the Holidays! ❤️😸

Mia has been a very great kitty for the last few years. She is very sweet and loves to cuddle and receive pets. She has a little separation anxiety and loves attention very much. Unfortunately, I need to re-home her due to her causing allergic reactions to my wife and my daughter. They have been allergic for years but the most recent reaction has been severe. It’s not Mia’s fault, she is a lovely kitty and anyone would love to have her in their home. As I’m sure she would be grateful to be somewhere else as well. Thank you very much. Please contact me for more information!
