My story

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

THE ODD COUPLE

 

DOB 2/20/23

Hey there, everyone! We’re the odd couple – Aster #acro-cat and Iris, #king-of-cozy. Although we’re identical-twin brown-tabby brothers who, like the rest of our litter, were named after flowers, our personalities are as different as day and night.

I (Aster) am not just another handsome fella with striking stripes and soulful eyes. Nope, I’m a feline with flair and a heart full of wonder. Equal parts athlete and goofball, I can turn a cardboard box into a stage and a windowsill into a high-wire act. With graceful leaps and daring climbs, I train daily for my dream role as the first-ever cat acrobat in Cirque du Soleil (or at least the living-room version). But beneath my flips and funny antics is a sweet soul who loves a cozy cuddle after a big performance. I’ll curl up beside you and purr softly as I recharge my energy for tomorrow’s adventures.

I (Iris) describe myself as regal, round, and remarkably relaxed. I’m a chunky dark-tabby gent whose favorite form of cardio is curling into the coziest lap that I can find. Forget treadmills and cat trees – I’m a laid-back boy who’s a professional in the fine art of lounging. I specialize in warmth, both in cuddles and in character, and I have an uncanny talent for melting stress with a single slow blink.

I don’t do rush. I take my time adjusting to new spaces and people. So I’m looking for a calm, patient home that understands the value of a quiet corner and a steady routine. With trust comes loyalty, and once I’m settled, you’ll have a plush purring shadow who believes naps should be a shared experience.

We’re very bonded to each other and think it’d be the cat’s meow if we could be adopted together so that we could be cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation. We feel that we could each bring our unique, endearing personalities to your home. If you’re looking for a little magic in your life, then let the show begin when you adopt me (Aster). If you're in no hurry and believe love is best when it's slow-roasted, I (Iris) just might be your perfect cuddle coach. What a combo – that’s why we’re the odd couple. Arrange to meet us today!

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.
