Mel (a.k.a. Mellie, Meller Time & Marshall Mellow) is the cat who was born with a silver mouse in his mouth. His singsong trilling and stunning movie star good looks ensured he was voted "best looking" and "most likely to succeed" in high school. Yep, he was one of the cool cats in town. With his charisma and charm, who wouldn't fall head over heels for him?
Mel's a lap cat, but only when he feels like it. If you're lucky enough to have him grace your lap, just make sure you're not too needy or grabby or you'll end up on the receiving end of his squinty-eyed disapproval. And trust me, when Mel recoils from you, he does it with such finesse that you'll feel like a complete fool for even trying. He’ll let you know when it’s time to hang out. When he starts ankle sharking, that’s one of your cues to participate. But remember, it's always on his terms.
Mel's pretty easy going with other cats, but don't mistake his peaceful demeanor for weakness. He's all about "peace through strength" and he'll maintain the harmony with his attitude. He’s even tolerant of dogs … If they behave themselves.
Even though Mel is starting to mature in cat years, he’s still quite playful. He enjoys wand toys, catnip toys, balls and sometimes he even gets the zoomies … Always maintaining his dignity while doing so, of course.
He's the total package and he knows it. It's Mellie's world and we're all just living in it.
Rescue background: Mel’s rescuer started feeding a young female feral cat she had just TNR’d. Right away Mel started showing up at every feeding. Turns out, Mel and the little female cat were good buddies. Before long they both became residents of the rescuer’s yard. Over time the rescuer discovered Mel is very comfortable indoors. He was already ear-tipped when found, so someone else had TNR’d him, but Mel was always friendly and was clearly an inside cat at some point in his life.
Are you ready to welcome Mel into your heart and home?

More about this rescue
Animal Justice League (AJL) is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt dog and cat rescue organization with a focus on the Oak Forest and Garden Oaks neighborhoods of Houston, TX. AJL was formed on January 27, 2015, but really, the work began long before then!
In a neighborhood that often serves as a dumping ground for unwanted animals, in a city that is overridden with homeless pets, and shelters that are at capacity, we saw a need and knew it was time to make a difference.
We rescue dogs off of the brutal streets of Houston, help care for those that are no longer wanted or cared for by their previous owners, and are registered to pull dogs and cats from the city, county, and nearby shelters. We also help reduce the community cat and kitten population through a robust TNR (trap, neuter, return) program.
Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through rescue, education, and outreach. Help us make our mission a reality!
