My story

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

LET'S HAVE AVO-CADABRA FUN!

 

DOB 4/5/25

Hey there, everyone! I’m Chip, a precious, tiny, and adorable grey tabby gal who, along with my bonded brother Guacamole, comprise the #avo-cadabra kids. I guess you’d say that I’m addicted to my foster pawrents. My favorite napping spot is draped somewhere on top of one of them. It’s fun to be part of a pile of kittens who snuggle with them on the sofa while we all binge on Netflix or Animal Planet.

Often when I see Foster Meowmy, I turn on my purr motor, roll over at her feet to expose my cute belly, and invite a little tummy-tickle. I’m also like Meowmy’s little shadow who meows as I follow her around the house with my purr motor turned on full blast. I always hope that I can attract her attention for a quick pet or snack. And when she arrives back home after being gone, I join the crew of foster kittens who come thundering down the stairs to greet her and assure her that her companionship has been greatly missed.

I’m the “baby” of my litter and of my foster mates because I’ve always been the smallest. When I was younger, I used to wait my turn at the feeding station, and Guacamole and the older foster kittens used to push me aside and gobble up the food. I’m generally submissive, so I didn’t mind, but now that I’ve gotten bigger, I’m becoming more assertive. Actually now I try to hold my own, and I even try to keep up with the big kids by running around with them.

Our feral momma gave birth to Guacamole and me in Foster Meowmy’s back yard. When we were four weeks old, Meowmy scooped us up and brought us inside to the safe haven of her home. We were bottle-fed babies, so we are used to being handled a lot. Even though we’re weaned, it’s still a real treat for Foster Meowmy to give us a bottle as if we were still babies.

Boy howdy! Is there a plethora of cat toys here in our foster home – feather wand-toys, the tower-track of balls, shoe laces, and even the tall scratching post. We put every toy to use, but chasing each other through the cat tunnel is Guacamole’s and my favorite! We’re expert soccer strikers as we bat jingle-balls and plush toy mice around the house. Even without the toys, we tumble and pounce, climb and wrestle with each other (as well as another month-older pair of foster kittens); when we’re exhausted, we all collapse in a kitten puddle. We get along great with the resident dog as well as the adult cats. And when I want some quiet time separate from the kitten mayhem, I like to grab a little cat nap by lying on my favorite squish-mallow pillow.

Now I’m ready to grace my forever family with my tiny but powerfully adorable presence and endearing cuddliness. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today. Although we’re available separately, consider adopting me with Guacamole. We agree that it’d be #avo-cadbra lot of fun to be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation.

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.
