My story

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

MAKES SOFT LITTLE CHIRPS AS HE GOES ABOUT HIS DAY

 

DOB 6/1/25

Hey there, everyone! I’m Franklin, a sweet, gentle, and easygoing mitted black Maine Coon/ domestic medium hair mix fella with a big fluffy tail and a wide white bib. I possess all the wonderful attributes of a Maine Coon -- a loving nature, a calm disposition, and intelligence – all while I make soft little chirps as I go about my day. In my unassuming way, I like to station myself near my beloved hoomans, either cuddled in their laps or hanging out close by when they’re busy working. When I’m not napping in their laps, I like to relax on the cat tree or bask in a patch of sunshine on the windowsill because both spots provide ideal views of the fascinating wildlife outside.

A 17-year-old boy found my twin sister Eleanor (Roosevelt) and me perched on a neighborhood curb with no momma in sight. We were tiny and unable to fend for ourselves, so this young Good Samaritan first went door to door to find where we belonged and then brought us home when his efforts proved fruitless. It broke his heart that his younger brother proved allergic to cats, so he cared for us upstairs until his dad contacted our future foster meowmy to take us in. We are grateful that Foster Meowmy, an experienced cat rescuer, agreed to transport us to the safe haven of her home, where we have flourished along with another litter of rescued kittens who were born a month apart from us.

Now I’m ready to bring my relaxed demeanor and delightful companionship to my forever family. Although I haven’t been around kids, Main Coons are usually very patient with small children. If you’re looking for a laid-back, lovable fluff ball, I’m your man! Don’t be surprised if I pick up wet food with my front paws because this is another endearing Maine Coon quirk.

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.
