My story

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

ENDEARING MISCHIEF-MAKER

DOB 4/13/25

Hey there, everyone! I’m Jupiter, an extremely playful and affectionate orange tabby fella who likes to jump on Foster Meowmy’s lap when she’s sitting on the toilet. I’m almost always happy to be cuddled and held like a baby with my tummy up. I’m all-boy, you know, and I can’t mess up my macho image by being too mushy and babyish.

After my feral momma birthed Karma, Opal, Pluto, and me outside of Foster Meowmy’s house, she moved us to inside a neighbor’s car (through the open window, I might add). Then Meowmy moved us to a box on her porch, but when Momma saw some neighbors pick us up, she moved us a few doors down to a used-car business. Imagine Foster Meowmy’s surprise when she looked inside an old car and found not only us under the driver’s seat but also another litter of four kittens under the passenger’s seat!! She gathered up both of our stowaway litters and carefully placed us in boxes on her porch so that we could safely nurse. Our mommas continued to move us multiple times, and Foster Meowmy always managed to find us and put us back in our weaning boxes. Finally, when we were five weeks old and could eat on our own, Foster Meowmy brought us all inside to the safe haven of her home where she could care for all of us. She even was the perfect feline Florence Nightingale when she administered antibiotic ointment to some of our crusty eyes.

Now that we’re fat and sassy, you can imagine the kitten mayhem that goes on inside our big foster bathroom! We tumble and pounce, climb and wrestle, and when we’re exhausted, we collapse in a kitten puddle. I even enjoy playing with the resident two-year-old cat. We’ve all got a little mischief in our genes because we love to escape the foster bathroom, but Opal and I win the prize for impishness because we like to dart around to explore the whole house and not just Foster Meowmy’s bedroom. I love to sleep in the bathroom sink because it’s my favorite “bed” when I need a little “time out” from the kitten frenzy.

I love Foster Meowmy and am so grateful that she gave me a chance at the fabulous indoor life of a pampered pet. Now I’m ready to bring my “snips-and-snails-and-puppydog-tails” boyishness and rowdy playfulness to my forever family. Arrange to meet me today, and if you’re looking for a pair of kittens, please consider adopting me with one of the other seven #car-stowaways. We think it’d be the cat’s meow if we could be adopted together so we could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation.

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.

Go meet their pets

All pets are located in metro Houston, TX. Prospective adopters will apply to HOPE electronically. The applicant will be interviewed by the adoption counselor over the phone. There will also be an opportunity for the foster parent to speak with the applicant and introduce the pet over Zoom or a similar tool. On a scheduled transport date, the pet will be sent directly to the adopter via a transporter that HOPE has arranged.
