Story
Artemis was rescued from an unfortunate situation where she was kept in a cage under a tarp on the street in an encampment. She is a very affectionate and social girl! She is very comfortable around all people, other cats, and dogs. She is very gentle and loves to play and climb! Artemis would do very well in an environment where she can have plenty of enrichment and indoors only. She would do just fine as a solo cat, and she would also do very well in a home with other animals.

Story
We've had Dot and Super Kitty since they were kittens and have only been indoors. Dot is a very sweet but on the shy side. Once she gets comfortable with you however, she will nudge your hands and legs and sometimes drool when she's happy and feeling loved. We are getting ready for a move and won't be able to take the cats with us. They are both really sweet and tend to keep each other company. Ideally, they can stay together but want to find a loving home for each cat individually if that's what's best. Dot is pretty scared of dogs. Both cats have up to date shots and are microchipped.

Story
Paul (can be changed) has been living in my yard for about 8 months. He was so curious about us. He stopped exploring the neighborhood and began staying close to us day and night. I trapped him and got him neutered. After that, I realized he wasn't going anywhere so I got him a bed, heating mat and 2 meals a day so he would survive the winter. Ive been slowly domesticating him but I'm mildly allergic and cant bring him inside. He loves petting, is warming to being held and is very talkative. I don't want him to spend another winter outdoors if he doesn't have to. He is still cautious and skittish but is warming up quickly. He's very playful. He's fine with my big dog and other cats in the yard. (my dog ignores him, the cats adore him) I really want to find him a loving, indoor home where he can have a great life and leave his past behind him. Im looking for a patient, experienced cat person who will go slow with continuing his domestication. Small project, big rewards.

Hi my name is buddy, and I am looking for my furever home! I am 5 months old, I am orange and white and have medium length hair, and my tail is super long and fluffy. I love hanging out with people and other animals. My favorite things to do are play and cuddle. I love all of my humans, but I do adapt very well. I am not picky on what I eat but I do like to have my wet food In the morning and hard food for the rest of the day. I am litter box trained, but I do like to keep it clean. I have a very unique personality that everyone adores. Please let me know if you have any questions!

This is illumi. Both him and his sister, killua, were adopted from Vancouver animal hospital. They are both the same age, 4 going on 5.. they must go together and I do not want to separate them. He’s very clingy, once he’s attached to you he won’t leave your side. He loves to go outside and run around and come back in.. looking for someone that will take care of both of them as unfortunately my apartments won’t allow them.

Meet Taco, a stunning 4-year-old tortoiseshell with a shy personality and quirky charm! This low-maintenance queen loves perching up high (the fridge is her favorite spot), drinking fresh water from the sink, and enjoying attention on her own terms. Taco has been both an indoor and outdoor cat and would be thrilled to have safe outdoor access again. She’s independent and we think would thrive/be happiest as the only pet in the home. Unfortunately, she’s not getting along with our other animals and we think it’s best to find her a better fit. Only serious inquiries please. My children are hoping whoever adopts her will send pictures.

These pups are in Portland, Oregon too!

Story
Meet Truffle, a sweet and snuggly Southern girl with a love for warmth and comfort. This little cuddle bug is all about napping on soft cat beds and soaking up warmth on cat-safe heating pads. Truffle will also enjoy the warmth of laps and will happily keep you company while you watch TV, snuggled in with you of course. This super-affectionate kitten adores people and will happily be your shadow, soaking up all the cuddles and attention you have to give. When she’s not busy snuggling, Truffle’s favorite pastime is chasing feathers and strings—it’s her version of the best day ever! Truffle currently lives with other kittens, a large dog, and puppies in her Houston, TX foster home. Her friendly, adaptable nature makes her a perfect fit for many homes! However, she would also thrive as a singleton, as long as she has a loving human (or family) to shower her with affection and keep her entertained. If you’re looking for a loving companion to add warmth and playfulness to your life, Truffle is the purr-fect choice. She’s ready to fill your home with joy, laughter, and plenty of kitten purrs!

Why adopt from Three Little Pitties? The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is the highest in the nation. Statistics show that there are over 1 million homeless animals in this region alone. Three Little Pitties Rescue is a nonprofit dog and cat rescue that partners with the community to make a difference. Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and saving all breeds of dogs and cats from the streets or animal shelters that oftentimes have no other option but to euthanize animals for space. This kitty you’ve found online is lucky to be in our program, and even luckier to have you notice it! Three Little Pitties Rescue (3LP) wants to set you and your new family member up for success! In addition to a fully vetted furbaby you also receive other additional perks such as a code for a free bag of cat litter AND a code for 50% off a 2nd bag of litter from Catalyst Pet, coupons for a fun visit to Petco, and support through our Facebook Adopters group where you can connect with thousands of other adopters, 3LP volunteers, fosters and staff. We seek to adopt to families who understand that these are rescues and will require continued efforts but are well on their way to being the best kitties that they can be! We ask that you give them time (can take weeks to months) to decompress in their new home, do slow introductions to other pets and let their true personalities have a chance to come through. We celebrated our 6 year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 14,000 very lucky dogs and cats into amazing homes! By adopting from us, you save TWO lives! The pet you adopt, and you create an opportunity for another animal to be saved in that spot. Together, we can be heroes. Follow our rescue journey through the links below! https://www.facebook.com/ThreeLittlePittiesRescueSavingKitties/ https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue/ https://www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue/ *Due to the rising cost of fuel and transportation expenses, there will be an additional $48 surcharge for transport. DISCLAIMER- Breed type is determined based on general appearance and behavioral characteristics, and cannot be guaranteed unless DNA test results were provided at intake.*

Bonded male pair of purebred British Shorthair cats. Ages 9 and 7. Great, loving cats, who just want attention. Unfortunately, I am moving and can’t bring the cats with me. They are up to date with shots and I have all the gear for you to take them to your home.
