My story

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

Meet your new best friend, Okra!! This little tabby has a heart of gold!!

Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/

Okra wants to be your new weighted blanket, nap buddy, and partner in crime!! He is a rascal who loves to play with his toys and his friends before settling down for a good cuddle. He loves running around with his siblings Squirt and Queen Bey, chasing wand toys, and hitting the catnip. He's a special guy who wants you to be his forever family!!

Solange, Queen Bey, and Okra were rescued from living their lives outside in a cat colony and brought to their foster home. They are all so happy they get to live the indoor cat life!!

Priority will be given to applicants interested in adopting a pair of kittens or who have patient, playful resident cats or dogs at home. Solange, Queen Bey, and Okra have not met a dog before, but with slow and careful introductions to a well-behaved dog we think they would do great with a new pup sibling!

Adopt Okra and one of his siblings, and double the love, double the purrs, and double the fun!

Information on why adopting two kittens is better for their short- and long-term health can be found here: http://www.kittenlady.org/twokittens

Solange, Queen Bey, and Okra are ~8 months old, microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. They are litter box trained and in excellent health!

The adoption application can be found here:

Solange, Queen Bey, and Okra are currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along these routes.

ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES:

When you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you're doing more than giving your new family member a home. Each adoption fee pays for a cat on the streets of Houston to get fixed, helping end the cycle of overpopulation in a rough environment. We thank you so much for your contribution to our efforts! To learn more about our TNR (Trap / Neuter / Return) efforts, please follows us on Instagram @roses_rescues_htx.

(All adoption fees also include transportation costs, spay/neuter of the animal, vaccinations, and microchipping.)

Please use the application at the link above rather than submitting interest via the Petfinder website.

Once you have submitted your application at the link above, an Adoption Coordinator will reach out to you to set up an interview for approval to adopt.

Please note that submitting an application does not “reserve” a specific pet. If the pet you have applied for is no longer available, we will do our best to match you with another adoptable pet!

More about this rescue

ROSES (Reducing Overpopulation: Spay/Neuter Education & Support) exists to conduct outreach, community education, fundraising, and service navigation to encourage spay/neuter for dogs and cats in overpopulated communities.

"ROSES Rescues" is an offshoot of this mission that helps the strays, rescue transfers, and owner surrenders that our volunteers and partners encounter and need help matching with forever homes.

We are located in Houston, Texas and are a FULLY foster-based rescue with no physical shelter location. We proudly transport our kitties to wonderful adopters in the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, Colorado, and locations along those routes, so please feel free to check out our pets and see if we have a transport spot close to you!
