My story

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

SWEET, STRONG SURVIVOR

 

DOB 9/1/22 

Hey there, everyone! I’m Henry, a sweet, gentle, easygoing bicolor fella, which means that my thick, plush coat is mostly white with gray tabby on my head, saddleback, and tail. I’m an expert nap enthusiast who always looks forward to my next adventure in the dream world! 

I was a stray who looked “worse for the wear” when I started hanging out in my future foster meowmy’s yard. Hoomans, other cats, and life in general had not treated me well in the past, so I was hesitant to trust Foster Meowmy. She was extremely patient with me, however, and soon realized that the way to my heart was through my stomach. As she wooed me with yummy food, I eventually allowed her to bring me inside. It didn’t take me long to realize the great gratitude that I owed my foster family, so I’ve become quite sociable now that I’m an indoor cat who enjoys all the amenities of being inside.

When Foster Meowmy got me fully vetted, she discovered that I not only had an itchy skin infection (which she treated) but also I was positive for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV+), which I probably contracted from the deep bite wound from another cat. It was heartbreaking news, but I knew I could continue being the strong survivor I’ve always been. Since FeLV can be passed on "casually" by sharing food bowls and litter boxes, I should be kept separate from other household cats. Solitude has never been an issue for me as I rather enjoy the luxury of my relaxation time. Of course, it would be perfect if I could be adopted into a home with another FeLV+ kitty who needs a companion!

Now that I’m fat and sassy, I’m ready to become the cushion connoisseur in my new family. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! I promise to halve your sorrows and double your joys if you take me home with you!

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.
