Calico kittens & cats in Bellaire, Texas

WINSOME AND RELAXED  DOB 3/14/25 Hey there, everyone! I’m Cardi B, and my middle-school foster sister named me because I’m just as much an award-winner as the famous American rapper. As I heard my Foster Meowmy describe me, “Cardi B is soooo sweet and special.” I’m one beautiful, affectionate calico, if I do say so myself, who purrs constantly and loves to be held. I’m so easygoing and fearless that I climbed right into my foster sister’s lap the first time I met her. I’m young and frisky, so I love chasing the string wand toy around the room when someone wiggles it like a snake. A kind HOPE volunteer trapped me among a colony of community cats in a trailer park. After I was spayed and ear-tipped, this kind woman realized that I was too sweet and friendly to be released outside again. Maybe I was someone’s misplaced or abandoned pet, but I’ll never tell! Anyway, thank heavens my Foster Meowmy stepped up to the plate and brought me to the safe haven of her home. When I came into my foster home, I immediately sniffed noses with the most unfriendly of their cats. Nobody hissed, and immediately everyone – both hooman and feline – fell in love with me as they joyfully breathed a sigh of relief! I was even fearlessly curious about the big dog, and since then we've begun to play together. Understandably my foster family has gotten very attached to me because “Basically, Cardi B’s the best.” Although I love it here in my foster home, I realize that I’ll get more attention if I bring my winsome personality and relaxed friendliness to a forever family who has fewer cats to rob me of the attention that I want and deserve. Arrange to meet me today, and maybe you can guess the decibels of my purr motor! I promise to halve your sorrows and double your joys.

HER SOULFUL EYES DELIVER YOU FROM DAILY CHAOS  DOB 2/14/24 Hey there, everyone! I’m Rumi, an incredibly sweet, easygoing, and beautiful “tabico,” a.k.a. tabby-calico, gal with stunning colors that glow as if I were golden. Actually, I’m like any calico because I have large areas of white -- except I have brown tabby instead of the usual black. Peach patches are sprinkled over my tabby areas as if I’d gotten splattered with caramel in a candy factory. My favorite thing in the world is simple – to be next to you. It could be the complete peace I feel while I make biscuits when watching TV with you. Or it could be when I curl up beside you to settle in for a cozy head massage or belly rub! I’m the kind of kitty who seems to understand when you need company. Whether you’ve had a long day or just want to relax with a soft, furry, comforting presence nearby, I’m happiest lying next to you, soaking up your love, and giving it right back to you. You'll feel me affectionately weaving through your legs while you do chores, but I’m actually leaving my pheromones to mark you as mine. Although we will share an occasional wand-toy adventure together when the mood strikes, I’m basically a low-maintenance girl who knows not to demand your time and attention when you’re busy. I can entertain myself with window-patrol duty or cozy naps in soft beds. Plus I get along great with all ages of hoomans, including kids, as well as dogs; as far as other cats go, I tolerate them but prefer to be on my own. My foster meowmy first saw me roaming in her neighborhood as a friendly stray. For a long time she fed me as she drove by but finally succumbed to my winsome personality by bringing me inside. Now I’m ready to be the beautiful soul who brings my comforting energy, affectionate cuddles, and peaceful presence to bless my forever family. Could that be you? Give me a chance, and I’ll help deliver you from the turmoil of the day.

CALICO LAP CUDDLER  DOB 6/27/21 Lyra would like a quiet house with a person or two who will get to know her gently, as she is very attached to her foster mom.  Lyra thinks her foster mom is the berries, so Lyra won't be won over in a minute.  She also hates cats except for her little black nemesis Trudy.  Lyra loves playing the game "aggravation" with Trudy.  She's a fabulous biscuit maker, if she adopts you!    HOPE ID 21-0807-E010 Lyra's $125 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites.

FLUFFY BEDFELLOW  DOB 1/25/25 Hey there, everyone! I’m Ani, a super-friendly, affectionate, and cuddly “tabico,” a.k.a. tabby-calico, gal who has the most adorable, angelic face you’ll ever see.  Actually, I’m like any calico because I have large areas of white -- except I have brown tabby instead of the usual black. Peach patches are sprinkled over my tabby areas as if I’d gotten splattered with caramel in a candy factory.   I love people of all ages, so I luxuriate when my foster family scratches my ears, chin, and cheeks. Although I’m not a lap cat per se, occasionally I’ll jump up in my foster family’s laps, and I’m always ready to snuggle next to someone on the sofa or in bed. I’m a playful gal who especially enjoys when Foster Meowmy waves the wand toy over my head for me to claw at. A Good Samaritan was feeding a lot of us friendly cats who had been abandoned by our owners when they moved away from her apartment complex. Unfortunately, because this kind lady could not bring us all inside or pay to get us fixed, many residents were abusing the caterwauling intact males. Thank heavens this compassionate lady reached out to HOPE, and a team of feral-cat volunteers got involved in solving her dilemma. In hopes that our pregnancies could be avoided, our future foster meowmy rescued Sona, Silver, Zelda, and me by bringing us to the safe haven of her home. Now that I’m permanently impervious to getting pregnant, I’m ready to be the easygoing, loving new addition to my forever family. I’ll fit into either a calm or an active environment where I could be the fluffy bedfellow of adults or small children. I do draw the line in that my ideal home should not have other cats or dogs. Arrange to meet me today! I promise to leave tiny paw prints all over your heart.

NAME: Crayola Sex: female Color/Pattern: dilute Calico, gray, peach, white Breed: domestic shorthair Weight: ~6lbs at 6 months old Age at intake: ~8 weeks BDAY approx: May 10, 2024 Intake date : July 7, 2024 Found date: ~July 1 Coat length: short Description Crayola is a very pretty and rare dilute calico, who is outgoing, affectionate, and always acting on her curiosity. Personality Crayola is smart and adventurous. She does flips in her crate for fun and is athletic in other ways too. She is very playful and explorative. Even when she is nervous and not sure of herself yet in a new place or with a new person, her curiosity gets the best of her. She has FOMO and wants to be part of everything going on. She is always watching and aware of everything around her. You won't catch her snoozing much because she is always alert. Crayola will ask for attention by rolling on her back for belly rubs and by weaving between your legs when you are sitting down. She will act coy and like she doesn't trust you, but as soon as you turn away she runs up for some affection. How dare you ignore her. Background Crayola and her brother were found at about 6-8 weeks old just before Hurricane Beryl in July, down in a neighborhood in SW Houston. Their finder brought them to a GNAR group home, where many others had been sent from the same large colony of cats that live there and are actively TNR'd. Crayola was big, fat and healthy, but defensive and hissy. Her brother was small and weak and sadly didn't make it. Crayola had to stay in a quarantine crate for several months because of her brother's illness. But she was always robust and a great eater. She recovered well from an eye infection they had when they arrived, that left a tiny scar on one of her lenses. Compatibility Dogs - yes, eventually Cats - yes Kids - yes

Description Black, Orange and White (medium fur) Female Calico with white paws. Personality Pepper is a very mild-mannered, well behaved, litter box trained cat. She is extremely polite and affectionate and a perfect indoor kitty. She prefers to let you know when she wants to be held and if you sit in a chair she happily jumps into your lap for affection. Pepper is patient and has a gentle nature. She can seem shy when adapting to a new place, but quickly will begin to happily explore. Background Pepper was found behind a garage parking lot with no shelter, food or water. She was extremely thin, malnourished and very friendly, even to a stranger. Her finder left her food and water and then returned two more days to feed her. On the third day they brought a cat carrier and she walked right into the carrier. She must have either been lost or dumped. They posted her as a found stray and tried to find her home but no one claimed her. She was spayed at The Greater Good on April 29th, dewormed, vaccinated, and given flea treatment. Pepper will make a wonderful pet for a small family with older children or a single person or couple looking for a wonderful companion.
