My story

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

Meet Papaya — The Jolly King of Cuddles!

Hi there — I’m Papaya, a seven-year-young gentleman with the charm of Santa and the snuggle skills of a pro. I adore people, attention, and a good round of head scratches — it’s basically my recipe for happiness (no secret ingredients, just love).

Don’t let my age fool you — I’ve still got plenty of pep in my paws and a curious streak that keeps life fun. Whether I’m exploring new nooks or “helping” you with your holiday decorating, I promise to keep things merry and bright.

When the lights dim and the cocoa’s warm, I’ll be right there beside you, purring softly and soaking up the glow of the season. I’m affectionate, charming, and ready to be the king of your heart (and your couch).

✨ Adopt me — and let’s make this the coziest holiday ever. ❤️

I am available for adoption at PetSmart Rowlett located at 5709 Liberty Grove Rd, Rowlett, TX 75089. For more information about me, please email cats@frastx.org.

Additional adoption info

All animals in the care of FRAs have their annual vaccinations, sterilization, FeLV/FIV test for cats, and a microchip. They have also received dewormer and flea preventative. While an adoption contract is required once you select a pet, there is no need to be pre-approved to adopt. You can meet and adopt a pet at the same time

More about this rescue

Friends of Rescue Animals (FRAs) is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. FRAs was founded in 2004 by 4 volunteers who wanted to support the Rowlett Animal Shelter. Our organization has grown to over 300 volunteers, and with this growth, we now support four municipal shelters and operate our own cat rescue program.

Our mission is to provide resources, programs and education to promote adoption and care of homeless pets in our community. FRAs’ vision is a world where every companion animal has a safe and loving forever home. We are a 100% all volunteer run organization, and our ability to help homeless animals depends on donations from the community and grant funding.

Our organizational programs include operating the volunteer program for both shelters, providing funding for heartworm treatments and emergency medical care, accepting cats from the shelter and citizens into our foster-based cat rescue, supporting TNR/SNR efforts for community cats and most recently funding dog transport initiatives. Our volunteers spend thousands of hours socializing and marketing the animals for adoption, which increases the number of animals with a positive outcome. FRAs has helped countless pets avoid euthanasia, find their forever homes and live longer, healthier lives.
