My story

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

LAP CAT FULL OF LOVE, GENTLE PURRS, AND QUIET SERENITY

 

DOB 7/23/22

Hey there, everyone! I’m Albie (short for Albert), a gentle, endlessly affectionate, and adoring "bicolor" fella, which means that I'm mostly white with brown tabby on my head, tail, and "saddleback." My quiet charm and soft, expressive eyes embody what it means for a cat to be a true love bug. I don’t just enjoy soaking up Foster Meowmy’s loving attention – I live for it! When she picks me up, I melt in her arms with a soothing purr, and when I settle in her lap, I freely offer her my trust and warmth.

When Foster Meowmy rescued me off the mean streets of Houston, I looked pretty “rough for the wear.” The fur was rubbed off my nose, and I had puzzling purple stains on my paws and body. Obviously, someone – as well as the hardscrabble life of a stray -- had not treated me kindly. But what amazed her was that I chose love over fear. I approached her in hopes that she would see my inner worth despite my forlorn appearance. When I got close enough, I leaned into her for affection.

The resiliency of my gentle soul was truly remarkable, and she responded by taking me home with her. When I arrived, my curiosity got the best of me, and I explored my new surroundings with wide-eyed wonder. It didn’t take me long to realize that I’d hit the jack pot. In terms of “Pilgrim’s Progress,” I had gone from the “Slough of Despond” to the feline-version of the “Celestial City.” Since I’m submissive by nature, I was careful about pushing the boundaries with the resident cats. Yes, I know the importance of being a peacemaker.

I’ll always be grateful to Foster Meowmy for giving me a chance to find a happy, indoor home where I’ll be safe and cherished. So now I’m ready to share my beautiful heart with that forever family. If you’re looking for a lap cat who is full of love, gentle purrs, and quiet serenity, I’m your man! Foster Meowmy promises that I’m the kind of cat who will make you smile the moment you meet me.

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.
