My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

LOVES TO WATCH TELEVISION

 

DOB 10/1/22

Hey there, everyone! I’m Mama Kitty, a beautiful, sweet, but initially timid black Maine Coon/ domestic longhair mix gal with a huge plume of a fluffy tail who luxuriates when Foster Meowmy rubs my neck, back, and head. You see, playing with toys as well as being petted, hugged, and carried around in Foster Meowmy’s arms is all new to me. Foster Meowmy calls me a “work in progress” because, after outsmarting her when she tried to trap me as a teenager and then my birthing two litters of kittens in her yard, I finally was enticed into her garage feeding station because of the yummy canned food she offered me.

Once she brought me indoors into her bedroom, it took over a week before I felt comfy enough to come to Foster Meowmy to ask her to pet me. I’m still scared of new things and sudden movements, so I hide until I feel safe and explore very slowly. For Pete’s sake, since I’d lived outdoors and had to be wary of predators in order to protect myself and my kittens, it’s understandable that I’d be fearful until I could learn that I can trust a hooman.

What a discovery I’ve made recently that all hoomans won’t hurt me but can show me what love is all about. So I’m learning to bask in the attention Foster Meowmy showers on me, and my true personality is slowly beginning to shine. Funny thing is that I’m fascinated by the television. When Foster Meowmy turns it on, I leave whatever I’m doing and focus my attention on watching the screen. Of course, the Friskies wet food as well as brimming water bowls and climate control have me convinced that I can live like a queen indoors, and I never again want to return to the hardscrabble life of a stray.

Now that I’ve permanently retired from being a doting momma, I’m ready to find my forever home. I’m looking to be adopted by a patient someone who will give me time to adjust to my new “digs.” Then you can rub all over my body, and we can binge on Netflix and Animal Planet together! Arrange to meet me today! By the way, adopting a young girl like me who's past the mayhem of kittenhood has its adavantages. I'm much less likely to cause chaos in your home or break your treasured accessories.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adopting an animal is a very serious decision and we want to be sure that our potential adoptive families have thought about the impact of this decision carefully. To adopt an animal through HOPE, we request that you complete an Adoption Application, a copy of which is available online for cats at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php or for dogs at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php. You may fill it out online or print a copy of the application and complete it prior to arriving at an adoption session. This will expedite the adoption process and will also assist our adoption counselors in matching you to a suitable pet.

We at HOPE make every effort to match our foster pets to appropriate homes. If you feel that we are too intrusive, please understand that it is because we care about their welfare.


Fees
All animals are neutered or spayed and have received age appropriate shots prior to being adopted. We ask that you provide a $100 donation for cats and a donation of $150 for dogs when you adopt your new family member from us. This donation helps us in defraying the costs of these and other medical needs of our animals.

Go meet their pets

Mobile adoption sessions are held on the weekends. All adoption sessions run from 12:00 - 4:00 pm at a variety of locations and days as noted on our website http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-locations/. For more information, please contact us at hope@homelesspets.net

More about this rescue

Our mission is to end the homelessness of cats and dogs through foster to adoption, feral cat Trap-Neuter-Return, and education.

HOMELESS & ORPHANED PETS ENDEAVOR (HOPE) is an all-foster, no kill adoption group based in the Houston area.

HOPE covers the cost of general medical expenses for the animals in the program, such as altering, routine vaccinations and treatment for parasites. Our foster families are asked to provide food, shelter and love to the animals for which they care. They receive no payment for the services that they provide. Without them, and the other volunteers who so selflessly do what is necessary to keep HOPE afloat, it would not be possible to run this nonprofit corporation.

One aim of HOPE is to develop a network of area rescue and humane organizations which will facilitate the rescue and placement of a variety of animals. The goal is to never have to turn away an animal in need. By forming a coalition of humane and rescue groups in the Houston area, we could potentially place all animals who need a temporary home until they are placed into a permanent one.
