My story

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

SOFT HEART, FULL OF LOVE, DESPITE HER PAST

 

DOB 10/12/23

Hey there, everyone! I’m Lily, a sweet, gentle, and  loving brown tabby girl with a delightfully “grouchy” face that gives the iconic internet celebrity Grumpy Cat a run for her money. I absolutely adore Foster Meowmy, especially when she gently scratches my cheeks, chin, and ears, and it’s my privilege to be her calm, quiet companion.

You see, I’ll always be grateful to Foster Meowmy, who rescued me from a crowded outdoor event where people were kicking me and almost running over me with their bikes. Thank heavens she took me to the safe haven of her home, and I can’t tell you how thankful I was that I’d landed in a calm, comforting environment. Foster Meowmy did her due diligence and traced my microchip to my previous owner who had adopted me but, after he was evicted, dumped me in the park and didn’t want me back.

Each day I bloom a little more because I have the satisfaction of knowing that my past difficulty, loss, and change are all behind me and a bright future, full of kindness, lies ahead. Despite all that I’ve endured, Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday because my heart remains soft and full of love.

Now I’m ready to bring my gentle serenity and calm companionship to my loving future family whose hearts have been touched by my past abandonment and who will cherish me forever. For my part, I’m unbelievably resilient, so I’m not looking back at my past mistreatment and rejection but ahead to the beautiful life destined for me, where I’ll be “home for good.” Yes, I’ve endured more than any cat ever should, but I’m ready to give my heart to a family who enthusiastically believes in second chances.

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.
