Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Smithville, Texas

This is Sophie. She is very sweet and needs a loving home. She was abandoned by her original owner. My in-laws provided her with food and water, and a rabbit hutch for shelter. Several years later my in-laws had a major health event that brought them to a senior living center here in Austin, TX, so they could be close to us. At that point we began caring for Sophie. I took her to the vet last June, where she received a rabies shot. Her teeth looked good and she had no heart murmur. We don't know how old she is, but estimate between 15 and 20yrs old. I think her back legs give her some trouble, but she gets around just fine. We have two dogs. One loves her, but the other only sees her as lunch! My wife also has asthma and is allergic. For these reasons she is an outdoor cat. I would love for her to have a home where she can be indoors and given lots of love. She is calm, and loves being cradled and given belly rubs. She purrs a lot!

Ringo is a lovely cat. I rescued him from a ranch out in Bastrop, and he socialized within 8 hours perfectly. He's incredibly cuddly, very friendly with new people and other cats too. He is nearly a year old and neutered. Unfortunately, he seems to have issues with using the litterbox. He currently has diarrhea, which I have had him taking antibiotics for on his veterinarian's orders. He will never urinate outside the litter, only defecate occasionally. I've had to pick up many more hours at work lately, and I just think he would be better served in a home that has more time to spend with him.

Lola is 6 years old and is truly the sweetest cat in the world. All she wants is love from her owner and bonds easily with anyone who will love her. She purs like a motorboat and is extremely friendly. She is very healthy and has never had any medical issues. Unfortunately, after a traumatic situation, she rejected her sister who she has lived with for years and it is no longer safe for them to live in the same home. She will need to be in a home with no other dogs or cats.

Stunning, Snuggly and Social! Despite her name, Vampire Slayer is a gentle and affectionate lass. Her luscious long and fluffy Manx and maine coon fur is a winning combination. She loves her people and has no problem showing you how much. She likes to be in the crowd to show off her gorgeous locks and her big beautiful amber eyes that will mesmerize you. She has the most expressive face! Vampire loves to sleep in the bed with you and will purr with glee. She has quite the "vocabulary" of different squeaks and meows, and she likes to chat with you! She responds to the name Buffy, literally - if you call her name she'll reply with a squeak - adorable! She does great with other dogs, cats and humans. Vampire is very easy to care for, even with her special needs, she is very clean. In return, she gives tons of love and laughs! She is incontinent and wears a diaper because she sometimes drips a few drops of urine if she's due to be expressed. She needs expressions 3 times day. She is used to getting expressed over the toilet, so there's basically zero mess to clean up and it only takes 1-2 minutes and is worth the love in return. Vampire has also had both back feet amputated, due to her feet being misshapen at birth. She can put weight on her back "nubbins" and walk, but generally scoots around on her little diapered butt. She is so happy and super mobile, and the only thing she can't do is jump - she still gets up on the furniture using ramps or just using her incredible upper body strength – we call her Buff Buffy! Her resilience is just amazing and will make you love her more. This sweet soul is sure to bring you joy! All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.

Mr. Handsome, Friendly, Hipster Laszlo wears a long-haired black and white tuxedo and sports a little soul patch under his chin - he is gorgeous! His name translates to “glorious ruler”, and this fine kitty will definitely rule your heart. It’s perfectly okay with him if you scoop him up and snuggle him! He especially loves it when you scratch his cheeks and chin. At the shelter, Laszlo has shown that he seems to love all cats, cuddling, sleeping, and goofing around with his roommates. He is an equal-opportunity lovebug! Otherwise, he spends his time on patrol looking out the window, finding the good catnip toys to roll around on, and playing with rolly balls. Prior to his arrival at APA!, Laszlo suffered trauma to his tail, which gave him incontinence. He can’t empty his bladder on his own, so he needs his humans to manually express his bladder for him, which means gently pressing on it to help him go pee. It’s easier than it sounds, and APA! will show you how and make sure you are comfortable with it. He also takes some supportive meds, and needs a booty clean-up now and then. Caring for an incontinent cat is easier than you may think. Check out this video, and please consider adopting Laszlo! bit.ly/CatExpressionDemo Laszlo is fun, loving, and a great companion - for you and for another cat! Contact APA! for information on how to care for him, and to ask any questions you have. And to meet this wondrous boy! All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
