My story

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

NEVER MET A STRANGER

 

DOB 3/8/25

Hey there, everyone! I’m Waffles, a friendly, outgoing, and very playful red mackerel tabby fella whom Foster Meowmy describes as a “rascal” and a “real character.” I’m a rascal because I undermine my prospects of adoption by my temporary aberrant behavior. You see,  I’m not shy at all, even around new people. I’m always in a good mood – with the exception of hissing at people when I go to adoption events. It’s not that I’m aggressive – it’s just that I don’t like being in a crate. I’m miserable when I'm a caged prisoner at PetSmart, but when I get back to running free in my foster home, I revert to being my usual even-tempered self. 

A Good Samaritan rescued me from under a trailer in Tomball as a nine-week-old orphan with no momma or siblings in sight. Thank heavens Foster Meowmy added me to a litter of kittens who were exactly my same age, and I integrated seamlessly with my “surrogate” brothers and sisters so that we’re just one big happy family. We tumble and pounce, climb and wrestle, and when we’re exhausted, we collapse in a kitten puddle.

I also get along great with all of Foster Meowmy’s resident dogs and cats, who don’t hesitate to teach me all the manners that Momma would’ve taught me if she’d been around. When I’m not playing or cuddling with my “siblings,” I like to explore every nook and cranny in the house. In my solitary moments when I need a “time out” from the kitten frenzy, I like to bask in a patch of sunshine in the window to gaze out as the squirrels scamper and birds fly by.

Now it’s time for me to bring my blithe spirit and outgoing amiability to enhance my forever family. Could that be you? As long as I can run free and you don’t fence me in, I’ll be an angelic schmoozer to your heart’s delight.  Arrange to meet me 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.
