“Hello there, I’m Wee-Man! I may be small in size but my curiosity is larger than life. I love exploring my surroundings, every nook and cranny is a new adventure for me. I’m also quite gentle, I understand that sometimes you need your space and I’m happy to give it to you. But don’t worry, I’m also independent, perfectly content with a cozy corner and some playtime. I believe life is about balance, don’t you? I’m not just looking for a new home, I’m searching for a companion, a friend. If you’re looking for a curious, gentle, and independent friend, I’m your Wee-Man!”

Story
DEMANDS ENDLESS HOURS OF LOVING ATTENTION  DOB 1/11/23 Hey everyone! I’m Tomm, a very quiet, calm, and handsome – if I do say so myself – 12-pound Bombay mix fella with a sleek, shiny black patent-leather coat and big golden-globe eyes. I’m one of those Velcro boys who loves to stick close to Foster Meowmy where I can demand endless hours of gentle stroking and loving ear-scritches. My brothers Jerry, Jax, and I, a.k.a. #3-mousketeers, were less than a year old when we showed up as homeless strays in Foster Meowmy’s neighborhood. Initially she trapped, neutered, and released us. After about a year of feeding us, when her last foster kitten had been adopted, she decided that, with a little time and patience, we’d make wonderful indoor companion pets. It did take a while for her to earn my trust, but once she did (thanks to treat rewards!), I’m now all hers!! Boy howdy! With 20-20 hindsight, I much prefer brimming food/ water bowls and climate-controlled indoor life. My foster home is like an oasis from battling Houston’s derechos, hurricanes, and winter storms. The hardscrabble outdoor life is for the birds! I have some catching-up to do as a young adult fella because playing with toys is an all-new adventure for me! But I’ll get there! Could you be the next person who snakes the wand-toy around the room for me to chase or waves it over my head to lunge at? Or perhaps you have a tower of balls to enrapture me? Catnip mice and crinkle balls for me to display my talents as a soccer striker? Then I’m the man for you! Although we’re available separately, please consider adopting me with Jax. He’s shy and initially fearful, but, as his BFF, I help make him feel safe. Arrange to meet me (and Jax, for that matter!) today! I can’t wait to meet you! HOPE ID 25-0110-M011 If you are interested in Tomm and would like to fill out an online Cat Adoption Application, please go to http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php . Submitting an application does not obligate you to adopt, but it initiates contact with us and gets the process started.  If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site this feline will be this week-end, email us at hope@homelesspets.net , and a volunteer will get back to you.

Story
MELTS IN YOUR ARMS WHEN YOU HUG HIM  DOB 8/1/24 Hey there, everyone! I’m Hermes, a friendly, loving, and easygoing solid-white fella except for the gray thumbprints on the crown of my head. My big gold-coin eyes half-close in ecstasy and I melt in Foster Meowmy’s arms when she holds and hugs me. I trust her so much that I roll over to invite her to give me the gentle belly rubs that I enjoy so much. I’m the largest of my litter, so I’m a big eater who doesn’t even mind when she pets me while I’m dining. I run up to greet her when she opens the door because I know that playtime will begin soon. I’m not particular about toys because they’re all fun as far as I’m concerned. I even find it entertaining when Foster Meowmy scoops the litter box, and I try to be her little helper. My feral-kitty momma birthed my #charming-four litter (Ash, Caramel, Humphrey, and me) inside of Foster Meowmy’s garage. We lived outside until we were ready to be weaned, and Foster Meowmy noticed that I always was the kind, brave Big Brother who protected my smaller siblings while momma was out hunting. When Foster Meowmy trapped/ spayed/ and released Momma, she brought us kittens inside to the safe haven of her home and promised to find us fantastic forever homes. Now I’m ready to share my joy, humor, and affection with my forever family. Could that be with you? Arrange to meet me today! My heart has SO MUCH love to give – all I need is YOU! If you’re looking to adopt a “matched pair,” consider adopting me with my twin sister Ash. (She even has the gray thumbprints on her head too!) Although we’re available separately, 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. HOPE ID 25-0329-C021 If you are interested in Hermes and would like to fill out an online Cat Adoption Application, please go to http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php .

Story
COMES RUNNING WHEN SHE HEARS HER NAME CALLED  DOB 9/10/17 Hey there, everyone! I’m Lilly a sweet, friendly Bombay mix gal, a mini-panther with big amber eyes, who comes running when Foster Meowmy calls my name! That’s because I know what’s in store -- either petting or yummy treats. Foster Meowmy knows just how to scratch the top of my head, ears, chin, and cheeks so that I’m in ecstatic bliss. However, like most kitties, I’m not a big fan of being picked up and held. I’m great with most people, dogs, and other cats, although I’m independent enough to keep to myself and not be too “needy.” When I was barely more than a kitten myself, I ran into future Foster Meowmy’s apartment one rainy day, hid under her bed, and gave birth to four kittens a few hours later. When Foster Meowmy got me fully vetted, she discovered that I was positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV+), which I probably contracted from the deep bite wound from another cat. (Unlike Feline Leukemia, FIV is NOT passed on "casually" by sharing food bowls and litter boxes with other household cats.) Being FIV positive means that I should live an average life span as long as my dental health is routinely monitored and prompt attention is given to any urinary-tract or upper-respiratory infections. Now that HOPE has a few pet-store partners who allow FIV+ kitties to come to adoption events, Foster Meowmy hopes that I can be adopted into my forever home. Since I get along with most two-legged and four-legged critters, there’s lots of homes where I’d fit like a glove. Since I’d been used to (and loved!) being outside before I met Foster Meowmy, I’ve never been a big fan of being indoors. It would be great if I could find a home with a screened window or “catio” where I could feel close to the outdoors while still remaining safe and sound.  Arrange to meet me today! Let’s write new chapters in our lives together!
