My story
Share
Here's what the humans have to say about me:
“Hi there, my name is Franklin!” Franklin is a handsome boy who just needs a little time to settle into a new environment, but once he does, his sweet personality shines through. He’s a big fan of his scratcher, uses the litter box like a pro, and loves to flip upside down for belly rubs.
He’s the kind of cat who likes to keep an eye on his human — you’ll often find him hanging out in the same room, whether you’re watching TV, reading, or just relaxing. While he’s not always a lap cat, he’ll happily keep you company nearby. And don’t let his adult-cat status fool you — give him a wand toy (especially one with feathers), and he’ll show off his playful side.
Franklin is the best of both worlds: laid-back yet active, independent yet affectionate. He’s looking for a calm home with a patient, loving companion who will give him the time he needs to adjust. Once he feels secure, he’s sure to be a loyal and entertaining friend.

Our adopters must be 21, have ID and must undergo an interview, fill out an application and sign contracts related to commitments for the care of the animals. We will check veterinary references and landlord information.
No animals may be adopted as gifts and and all members of the caretaking family must be in agreement about the adoption.
Should an adoption not work out we require the animal to be returned to Friends For Life.

HOURS:
11-4PM Wednesday - Monday
Closed Tuesday
We are currently located in the Historic Heights. Our shelter looks more like a gallery than a shelter! Incredible photography is displayed in our lobby. Care has been taken with every detail of the building. We are bringing in 100% outside fresh air and turning over the air in each space completely 15 times an hour. We have made certain that sunlight reaches every animal (and staff) workspace and even engaged a professional acoustician from the beginning to ensure that we manage the sound for everyone's comfort. We have cageless cat rooms with 19-foot ceilings and climbers everywhere to keep the kitties happy and healthy. We have a 'real life' dog living area set up for the dogs. Our shelter is unlike any you've ever experienced! You have to see it to believe it!
We need adoption counselors, docents and animal "smoochers" to keep everyone feeling loved. We also need, welcome and swoon over our foster parents!
Our volunteers and foster parents are like gold to us. Please consider joining this energetic and positive group! If you'd like to volunteer, please just email us below or drop by!
volunteermanager@adoptfriends4life.org
Come by and visit! Even if you are not adopting an animal, we have well-trained staff to answer pet related questions, a wealth of training, medical and behavioral information and a fun atmosphere to just drop in and get your fix of animal love!
As always, Friends For Life is a No Kill organization.

More about this shelter
WHO ARE WE?
We are located in Houston and are the only LEED-certified green No Kill animal shelter in Texas. We incorporated as a 501(c)3 no kill organization in 2002. Friends For Life was started with the purpose of providing the animals of Houston and surrounding areas with immediate alternatives to the killing and a long term plan to change the direction of the sheltering community to a more compassionate future. Our ranks are made up of veterinarians, architects, business people, lawyers, physicians and animal care specialists all passionately dedicated to ending the killing of homeless animals.
WHY DOES OUR ANIMAL COMMUNITY NEED FRIENDS FOR LIFE?
At 80,000 annually, Houston has the tragic distinction of being the city that kills the most animals in its shelters second only to San Antonio. Some of the reasons Houston shelters kill animals is that they are a certain breed (pit bulls, rottweilers, chow chows, etc.), weigh under 2 lbs, sneeze on intake, are over 7 years old, are missing some hair or are pit bull puppies. 75% of the animals we adopt into loving homes have been previously rejected by other organizations as 'unadoptable.'Friends For Life is taking meaningful steps toward reversing this tragic situation by redefining 'adoptable' every day and finding homes for animals who otherwise have no hope. At Friends For Life, EVERY ANIMAL MATTERS.
EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL ADOPTION PROGRAM
Limited only by space, we will accept any animal needing our assistance regardless of age, condition or breed. They include beautiful cats, dogs, puppies and kittens. All are fully vet-checked, tested and have received all age-appropriate vaccinations and spay/neuter surgery.
We have training consults and discounted training services available for all FFL animals.
HOW CAN YOU BE A PART OF CHANGING THE FUTURE?
1. Take a look at out website at www.nokill1.org and consider volunteering. Many of our volunteers have been with us for years and have traveled from as far away as Georgia and Indiana to volunteer for FFL projects. Trust us, it's a good gig!
Sign up online at www.nokill1.org/how-to-help/volunteer or just stop by and see us!
2. Adopt an FFL animal in need. The truth is, 'unadoptable' is what we make it. Every animal adopted from a no kill program sends a powerful message that this is the direction we want to see our shelters take. Every life has value. Together, we can chage everything!
