My story

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

A RUB-ALL-OVER-YOU-AND-PURR-TYPE CAT

 

DOB 7/14/25       

Hey there, everyone! I’m Lea, a beautiful, wild Bombay mix sweetheart. Pet me and watch the magic happen. My purrs turn on loudly, and I’ll proudly present my signature “elevator butt.” I adore affection and can’t get enough of it. But staying still for too long, except when I'm adorably sleeping? Not exactly my brand. I’m curious, confident, and always ready to explore what’s happening behind that door, inside that mysterious box, or on top the cat tree. 

I’m playful, whether I’m chasing toys, inventing my own adventures, or romping around with my foster siblings. I get along wonderfully with other cats, and I’m great with young children too. I’m also a clever girl (if I do say so myself). I’ve learned how to play fetch — yes, fetch, just like dogs do. When playtime winds down, I’m happy to soak up attention, enjoy being spoiled, and even have little chit-chats with you. I’ve got a mind of my own, and I’m not afraid to express it — especially around mealtime, or when I believe petting is immediately required. 

A kind family took me in when the apartment management was taking extreme measures to remove me, and ever since, I’ve been thriving. I’ve grown up surrounded by love, fun, and companionship from both hoomans and cats — including my grooming/ playtime partner, Manolo, another foster kitten who’s almost exactly my same age. If you’re looking for a smart, playful gal with confidence, charm, and a whole lot of personality, I’d love to be your Lea-ding lady. Are you ready for your home to become the hottest ticket in town? I’m accepting forever-family applications.

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.
