My story

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

LOVED BEING BOTTLE-FED

 

DOB 10/8/25

Hey there, everyone! Foster Meowmy christened me Shady Pepper Napoleon Dynamite, but my friends just call me Pepper. I’m a sweet, cuddly, and playful “bicolor” fella, which means that I’m mostly white with black on my head, saddleback, and tail. When I’m not batting my jingle-bell balls and catnip mice around the room like a pro soccer striker, I love spending quality time in Foster Meowmy’s lap. I always ensure that I get plenty of snuggles in between my play times.

Here’s the deal about why I’m so bonded to Foster Meowmy – she rescued my litter of five boys when were three weeks old from a neighbor’s yard. Even though we weren’t weaned from our feral momma, two of my brothers were a bit spicy, so Foster Meowmy brought us inside to tame up and then trapped, spayed, and released Momma.

Since I was the friendly runt of the litter who especially liked cozily cuddling when she bottle-fed me, I wanted to extend her nurturing sessions as long as possible. So I tricked her into bottle-feeding me a week longer than my brothers. I was a pretty clever guy until I blew my cover and, after drinking from the bottle, I marched over to the bowl of kibble and proceeded to eat. So now I just like to hang out in Foster Meowmy’s lap.

But I’m no couch potato! No siree! I tumble and pounce, climb and wrestle with my brother Cinnamon, and then we collapse in a kitten puddle when we’re exhausted. However, I do keep my eye over my shoulder so I can watch Foster Meowmy while I’m playing just in case she needs a furry friend to help her binge on Netflix or Animal Planet.

Now I’m ready to be the best lap kitten and bed fellow that my forever family could ever have. Could that be you?  Although we’re available separately, Cinnamon and I think it’d be the cat’s meow if we could be adopted together. That way we could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation. Arrange to meet me today!!

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.
