My story

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

MR SCHMOOZER

 

DOB 7/4/24

Hey there, everyone! I’m Niall, a super-friendly, gentle-giant of a red tabby fella with a white fur collar who likes nothing better than spending time with my Foster Meowmy. My ample belly invites the beloved rubs she dispenses, and snuggling next to her as we binge on Netflix is my favorite part of the day. I’m a chatty boy who keeps her company as we exchange stories about how our day has been. Despite my large size, I enjoy interactive play with her – especially when she wiggles the colorful cloth-tape wand toy around the room for me to chase or waves it in the air for me to lunge at.

When I was about a year old, one of Foster Meowmy’s neighbors witnessed my heartless former owner’s throwing me out of a car. I was a growing boy who became anxious about where my next meal was coming from, so I managed to convince not one but two neighbors to feed me. But it was Foster Meowmy’s house that I picked to hang out, always ready to play Mr. Congeniality, greeting and schmoozing with the family whenever they’d walk out their door. My irresistible persistence paid off – when winter arrived, Foster Meowmy allowed me to come inside the safe haven of her home. I get along great with all of her resident cats no matter what age because I’m a kind, peace-loving chap who avoids conflict at all costs. I’m so mild-mannered that when Houston experienced very cold weather, I permitted Foster Meowmy to dress me in sweaters. I’m very food-motivated, which has resulted in my more-to-hug plus size, so Foster Meowmy has me on a weight-loss program.

Now I’m ready to be the sweet, super-social, and talkative chunky baby you may be looking for. I promise that I’ll never disappoint you in fulfilling my mission to double your joys and halve your sorrows. 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.
