This introspective feline finds solace in serene spaces where she can observe the world from a safe distance. While she may prefer the company of a select few, those fortunate enough to earn her trust are rewarded with the deepest wells of affection and loyalty. Whether she's curled up in a cozy corner or perched atop her favorite vantage point, Snowball's serene presence brings a sense of calm to any environment. With her gentle spirit and quiet wisdom, Snowball reminds us that true beauty lies in the depths of the soul and waits to be discovered by those who take the time to truly see.  HOPE ID 24-0131-G024 If you are interested in Snowball and would like to fill out an online Cat Adoption Application, please go to http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php .

Story
Big and Tall, friendly, people-loving catI am a gentle giant and confident cat. I like to cuddle and snuggle with my human. I love attention, being petted, belly rubs and lot of treats I walk funny, sometimes it is hard to control my back legs and they go to the sides. it looks like I am dancing Can-Can. The vet said I am a 'wobble baby', that means I was born with a condition that affects my balance. I don't remember being different, my legs don't bother me to walk, play or using the litter box. I have good litter box etiquette, I just walk and jump funny. I could walk and run everywhere I want in the house. I have a normal life like other cats. I don't require special care, just love and affection. Contact my foster human at Adoptablecatshouston@gmail.com for more information on how to adopt me.February 22, 2025, 8:50 pm

Story
I am a cute petite kitten. I am sweet, playful and love to be held like a baby. I enjoy the attention of my human. I could be nervous with new people and new environment. I live in a foster home with other kittens at the moment. I am looking for a forever home with cat lovers and a companion cat (if possible) because I love play time. I could be adopted with one of my play mates such Ginger boy or Marcel, also in this website. I am unsure about dogs but cat-friendly dogs may be a possibility. If you are looking for a cute kitten, write to my foster human to Adoptablecatshouston@gmail.com for more information on how to adopt me.March 7, 2025, 5:43 pm

Story
Very friendly and affectionate, loves human attention, great companion catSweet, playful, and affectionate, Charlie was found with a colony of feral cats outside a warehouse, but it was obvious that he didn’t belong there — and that he didn’t have the street smarts to keep himself safe. He’s super friendly, and clearly has lived with people; his rescuer believes he was abandoned or went missing from his home. He would love to have a family and a cozy place to live again. This laid-back guy gets along with everybody, including other cats. The vet thinks he’s about a year and a half old, but he’s a kitten at heart. He loves cuddling with people, making biscuits, and purring. When he has something to say, he communicates with gentle chirping meows. He loves play time, especially chasing after string toys, but he’s equally content to curl up for a long nap on the couch. He’ll bring drama-free fun to your life and be a loyal companion for the whole family. If you are looking for a very social cat that adores human attention, Charlie is your boy.

Hello, this sweet girl and 3 of her siblings appeared in our driveway in June of 2022. We got 2 of them inside, bathed them,and they never left! She is spayed, all shots received. Tabitha really needs to be the queen of the castle, a lone cat, maybe 1 other. She doesn't get along with a later rescue, and we have a human baby coming in a while. Let's get her the spoiling loving house she deserves! Not a cuddler, she just likes to hang out with you, she LOVES ear scritches!

These pups are in West University Place, Texas too!

EASY-GOING LOVEBUG DOB 9/1/21 Howdy everyone! I’m Indy, a handsome, easy-going black DSH/ Bombay mix dude with a sleek, shiny patent-leather coat and big, copper-penny eyes. It took me a while to learn that being petted, chin scratches, and lap time with my foster dad might just be a good thing. My momma Luna led the way, so I started curling up on my foster dad’s warm chest for a quick power nap and discovered that it was pretty delightful. My favorite pastimes include following my foster dad into the bathroom (Bombay mixes can be very dog-like), looking handsome, and watching the world go by as I bask in a patch of sunshine on a windowsill. My favorite likes are dry food, toys with tassels, and warm beds. Arrange to meet me today. Find out if YOUR chest could be my next napping station! https://photos.app.goo.gl/9LhdD26NmAhzMUtGA HOPE ID 21-1204-C089 If you are interested in Indy and would like to fill out an online Cat Adoption Application, please go to http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php.

SNUGGLY SIESTA KING  DOB 4/15/23 If you think the actor Tom Sandoval looks like a hunk dressed in black, you should see me! Meow! Meow, everyone! I’m Tom Sandoval’s namesake, an affectionate, saucy, friendly black DSH/ Bombay mix kitten with a sleek, shiny coat. I can be quite the snuggly Siesta King who loves to curl up in bed with either Foster Meowmy or my sister Maddox, with whom I'm very bonded. I soak up any attention that Foster Meowmy gives me, especially when she’s dispensing Temptation treats. I’m a playful guy who loves to play soccer with toy mice as well as engage with iPad games. And of course I love to tumble and pounce, climb and wrestle with my three sisters, Maddox, Lala, and Katie. I can also entertain myself by scaling the cat tower and playing with its dangling toys. When my Foster Meowmy was walking on her driveway one day, she spotted my feral momma and my litter of four under the house of her next door neighbor. She trapped, spayed, and released Momma but brought us kittens inside to socialize us. We fit in beautifully with her other pets, and now that we're ready to be adopted, she promises to find us all fantastic homes. If you’re looking for a handsome, gentle, easy-going fella who gets along with other cats and small dogs, arrange to meet me! Consider adopting me with one of my sisters so we can keep each other company while you’re at work or on vacation.

DEMANDS ENDLESS HOURS OF LOVING ATTENTION  DOB 1/11/23 Hey everyone! I’m Tomm, a very quiet, calm, and handsome – if I do say so myself – 12-pound Bombay mix fella with a sleek, shiny black patent-leather coat and big golden-globe eyes. I’m one of those Velcro boys who loves to stick close to Foster Meowmy where I can demand endless hours of gentle stroking and loving ear-scritches. My brothers Jerry, Jax, and I, a.k.a. #3-mousketeers, were less than a year old when we showed up as homeless strays in Foster Meowmy’s neighborhood. Initially she trapped, neutered, and released us. After about a year of feeding us, when her last foster kitten had been adopted, she decided that, with a little time and patience, we’d make wonderful indoor companion pets. It did take a while for her to earn my trust, but once she did (thanks to treat rewards!), I’m now all hers!! Boy howdy! With 20-20 hindsight, I much prefer brimming food/ water bowls and climate-controlled indoor life. My foster home is like an oasis from battling Houston’s derechos, hurricanes, and winter storms. The hardscrabble outdoor life is for the birds! I have some catching-up to do as a young adult fella because playing with toys is an all-new adventure for me! But I’ll get there! Could you be the next person who snakes the wand-toy around the room for me to chase or waves it over my head to lunge at? Or perhaps you have a tower of balls to enrapture me? Catnip mice and crinkle balls for me to display my talents as a soccer striker? Then I’m the man for you! Although we’re available separately, please consider adopting me with Jax. He’s shy and initially fearful, but, as his BFF, I help make him feel safe. Arrange to meet me (and Jax, for that matter!) today! I can’t wait to meet you! HOPE ID 25-0110-M011 If you are interested in Tomm and would like to fill out an online Cat Adoption Application, please go to http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php . Submitting an application does not obligate you to adopt, but it initiates contact with us and gets the process started.  If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site this feline will be this week-end, email us at hope@homelesspets.net , and a volunteer will get back to you.
