Description
Parrot is LARGE. A Beautiful silver gray striped tabby with a friendly demeanor.
Personality
Parrot and his brothers are all big boys with outgoing personalities that break through despite their initial efforts to pretend they were demure. Parrot and Flamingo were the first two of the litter of 3 kittens to decide that being friendly was more fun that acting insecure around people. Parrot loosened up a few weeks after he witnessed Flamingo making a fool of himself and getting lots of pets and scratches from people. His jealous-ly won over and he started to test the water too to see if the scratches felt as good as they looked. At first is was just butt scratches, but soon he would back up into your hand to get scratches on the back of his neck too. Then he started playing paw games with people from a safe spot, and then moving on to curiously walking around your feet, just out of reach. Now Parrot and Flamingo both come running when someone walks into their room and not just for wet food. The burly boys want pets and loving more than they even want dinner. Parrot is so gorgeous that you may just want to stare at him, but he makes sure that you don’t forget to lavish him with love and gives affection back just as must as he takes it.
Background
Parrot and his 2 brothers, Flamingo and Parakeet, were found at about 3 months old, in a neighborhood in SW Houston, Sugarland. They were another litter from a large colony of cats where many others had been rescued in the past 4 years. The colony is known for beautiful silver tabbies and charcoal gray cats. The cats there have been actively TNR'd (trap, neuter, returned) for years, and every year more kittens like Parrot’s show up to surprise the caretakers to indicate that the job of spaying and neutering still has more work to do. Parrot was the second in his litter to sweeten up, becoming very tame by the time they were teenagers, despite being completely feral upon arrival.

Additional adoption info
It is our policy to respect the privacy of everyone we work with, thus we do not, for any reason, share personal information of potential adopters or sponsors. Also, because we believe there can be a variety of great home situations for these animals, we inquire only as to the compatibility of the home and the animal, and do not ask for character references of any kind. We ask these questions only to assure the best possible outcome for both animal and adopter.

More about this rescue
Good Neighbors Animal Rescue's mission is to facilitate the resolution of animal issues in Fort Worth and Houston, Texas. We want to prevent our community pets from ending up as a statistic at the shelter. We don't pull animals from shelters. We help people who find strays, who are good enough to take them in, but then need to know what to do next. We are there for owners who need to re-home their pets but don't want the impersonal and unknown outcomes of a kill shelter. We trap feral kitties that live in the alleys and re-home those that tame up, and take tame porch cats to get vaccinated. We assist people who have accidental litters and need help spaying and neutering, vaccinating, and finding safe, responsible homes for them, and help make sure that the offspring don't have offspring of their own!
GNAR IS ALL VOLUNTEER RUN AND DONATION BASED. That means that very nearly 100% of all donations go directly to the animals for vet care, spays and neuters, medicine, food and litter. Once in a while we may buy a ream of paper to print flyers or something for our adoption event table, but even that is usually donated by volunteers, foster homes and other donors.
GNAR's methods are to promote and facilitate fostering, spaying, neutering, adopting, and vaccinating, and to spread out the financial burden of the big-hearted among all of us who want to help.
Overpopulation and lack of enforcement of spay and neuter laws in the South mean that thousands upon thousands of pets are euthanized in shelters that come from your own community. If each person in America took in just one animal, we could solve the problem instantly. The answer is fostering, adopting, spaying and neutering rather than buying from breeders or from people who let their own pets have litters. Pets also suffer and die on the streets from lack of food, shelter, and medicine. Taking them in is the first step in stopping the cycle and preventing the next generation from suffering the same fate. So many diseases are 100% preventable with just one $10 vaccine. It is a needless tragedy each time one dies from feline leukemia, canine parvo, or kennel cough. Low cost vet clinics such as TCAP, Spay Neuter Network and other walk in service organizations are available throughout the Dallas Fort Worth area and people need to pass it on!
