HUGS WITH HER FLUFFY MITTS  DOB 12/3/19 Hey there, everyone! I'm Penelope, a beautiful, sweet, fluffy medium-haired girl with bright green eyes, a little mirth in my expression, and just enough sass to make sure you know I’m not just another ordinary beauty. I’m laid-back and independent, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love affection — or that I lack a purrsonality! I don’t necessarily need to be the center of attention. I’m perfectly happy doing my own thing and observing the world around me. But when you’re fabulously fluffy, attention tends to find its way to you anyway. I have quite a few opinions, and I’m not afraid to share them. I’ll let you know where you stand with me — sometimes vocally, sometimes by flopping over in all my fluffy glory, hoping to sucker you into giving me just a few more pets, please. I don’t mind being picked up and cuddled, either. When I’m in your arms, I’ll put my fluffy mitts on you and hold on for a hug.  I’m named after Penelope from The Odyssey — the woman who waited for Odysseus to come home to Ithaca after being away on his agonizingly long journey. And I understand waiting. I understand journeys. I was rescued near a bus stop — where journeys begin and end. I survived outdoors, despite having once known the comforts of being loved indoors. Now, I’m waiting for the part of my story where I finally get to go home.

CALM, LOVING GENTLE GIANT WHO LOVES TO BE PETTED & BRUSHED  DOB 4/20/22 Hey there, everyone! I’m Buddy, a big, gentle, calm, and affectionate silver tabby Maine Coon fella who luxuriates when Foster Meowmy scratches my ears, rubs my belly, and brushes the long locks on my wispy mane, body, and flowing tail. I’m rather a lethargic couch potato, and sleeping peacefully on Foster Meowmy’s chest is one of my favorite pastimes. She thinks that I was someone’s abandoned or lost outdoor pet who wandered up as a friendly intact stray to her next-door neighbor’s community-cat feeding station. Over the next few months, I became friends with Pina, a sweet-and-spicy tortie gal who also showed up at chow time. About three months later, we wandered together over to Foster Meowmy’s back yard in East Houston, and she was kind enough to bring us both inside when the February arctic freeze hit. I had no problem with this because I’m very food-motivated, and I knew that there was probably an abundance of yummy food and treats inside. Sometimes I long for my previous outdoor life, but I know it’s dangerous out there on the streets, so I’m perfectly content to satisfy my “call of the wild” by sitting in a patch of sunshine on the cat tree next to a window so I can gaze at the wildlife outside. Unfortunately, the consequences of surviving the hardscrabble life became a reality when I tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV+), which I probably contracted from the deep bite wound from an intact male cat. (Unlike Feline Leukemia, FIV is NOT passed on "casually" by sharing food bowls and litter boxes with other household cats.) Being FIV positive doesn’t stop me from living my best life as long as my dental health is routinely monitored and prompt attention is given to any urinary-tract or upper-respiratory infections. I realized that I’d stolen Foster Meowmy’s heart when I heard her say, “Buddy is the kind of really special cat who is rare.” Now I’m ready to be the gentle giant and kind, old soul who peacefully reigns over the hearts of my forever family. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! Since Foster Meowmy realizes that I’ll be most contented if I remain with my soulmate Pina, she is insisting that Pina and I be adopted as a bonded pair. We think it’d be the cat’s meow if we could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation – and that arrangement probably works out best for you anyway! Never forget that my heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU! HOPE ID 26-0704-C059 Buddy and Pina’s $250 bonded-pair adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites.

HE'S AIMING FOR THE BULLSEYE OF YOUR HEART DOB 7/26/26 Hey there, everyone! I’m Cupid, an affectionate, friendly, adventurous, and cuddly Classic tabby Maine Coon/ domestic medium hair mix fella. I must admit I’m very handsome with my bold leg stripes against a taupe background as well as dark marble swirls on my sides. When I first see Foster Meowmy, I run to greet her in hopes that she’ll pick me up. I’m in hog heaven when she settles me in her lap so she can shower me with chin scratches and head massages. To communicate my delight at all of her attention, I often turn on my purr motor so loudly that she has to turn up the TV. I don’t play alone, but I love to engage interactively with Foster Meowmy when she waves the wand toy over my head or wiggles the ribbon stick like a snake around the room. It’s a special treat for me when I ride in my very own stroller! Foster Meowmy thinks I’m awesomely smart because I understand when she tells me “no.” When I was about seven weeks old, I was rescued in Foster Meowmy’s neighborhood as a hungry but friendly stray with no momma or siblings in sight. I was much too young to fend for myself in the hardscrabble life, so I was delighted when she brought me to the safe haven of her home. I get along great with the resident cats, who have taught the manners that my momma would’ve if she’d been around. I’m cautious about the resident dogs, however, because I don’t like their loud barking, and so I hide. Now I’m ready to steal the hearts of my forever family. Could that be you? Don’t dodge my arrow! Arrange to meet me today. Bullseye! One look and you're smitten. One cuddle and your heart is officially mine! I’m a great shot, and I’m aiming straight for your heart! I promise that we’ll fall head over paws in love with each other the instant we meet! At least until I turn four months old, I need to be adopted with another kitten or into a home with another feline so we can be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation.
