So what do you say? Put me in the driver's seat, and let's Cruise through life together. -Reach out today to meet me.

LOVES TO GIVE NOSE KISSES AND HEAD NUDGES  DOB 6/10/25 Hey there, everyone! I am Nelly, a friendly, affectionate, and outgoing calico gal with gorgeous swirls of bronze and black on my sides, striking green eyes, and a perfect rose-pink nose. What a beautiful package, if I do say so myself! But I am not just eye candy! So siree! I lovingly bestow nose kisses and head nudges as I snuggle in Foster Meowmy’s lap. In return, she scratches my ears, cheeks, and chin, and I exultantly luxuriate in her attention. I was a six-month-old teenager when I birthed my litter of four kittens in the apartment complex where Foster Meowmy lives. That is what happens when owners do not get their young pets spayed and then dump them outside when they move out of their apartment. Actually, I actively sought Foster Meowmy’s help when I sensed that she loved cats, and it was a literal miracle that she scooped us all up and brought us to the safe haven of her home. Since I am barely more than a kitten myself, I am saturated with kitten playfulness. You should see me bat jingle-bell balls around the room like a professional soccer striker! Now that I have permanently retired from doting motherhood, I am ready to put my beautiful, dainty face to work giving nose kisses and head nudges to my forever family. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU! HOPE ID 26-0509-G059 Nelly’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. To apply online: http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site that Nelly will be this weekend, email us at sfenicle1@gmail.com, and a volunteer will get back to you.

MAKES BISCUITS IN RESPONSE TO SOFT WORDS IN HER EARS  DOB 1/1/24 Hey there, everyone! I am Mimi, a very sweet, calm, and gentle dilute tortoiseshell gal with white tuxedo markings who gladly displays my best biscuit-making talents whenever Foster Meowmy whispers sweet nothings in my ears. I have endeared myself to her with this delicate rhythm of my paws, but what else do you expect from a dainty, affectionate young lady like me? No wonder I was named after Mimi, the demure heroine of Puccini's "La Boheme." When Foster Meowmy found me as a lonely stray who was dumpster-diving to survive the hardscrabble life, she thankfully brought me to the safe haven of her home. She soon realized that I was a lost or abandoned pet because I seamlessly transitioned to the indoor life as well as easily made friends with the resident kitties in my foster home. 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 even though my immune system is compromised. Now I’m ready to provide a steady supply of biscuits in exchange for my forever family’s soft, encouraging whispers in my ears. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! I promise that my calm, quiet companionship will bring down your blood pressure. And incidentally, there are advantages to adopting a gal like me who is past the stage of kitten mayhem. I will not cause any chaos in your home or break any of your treasured accessories. HOPE ID 26-0529-A018 Mimi’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.

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. HOPE ID 26-0128-G017 Rumi’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.

This fluffy calico is the life of the party wrapped in a soft, colorful coat. With her vibrant patches of orange, black, and white and her extra-plush fur, she makes an entrance wherever she goes—and she fully expects you to notice. Curious, confident, and endlessly social, she’s the first to greet you at the door and the last to leave your side. She adores attention and isn’t shy about asking for it—whether that means weaving between your legs, chirping for pets, or dramatically flopping onto her back for belly rubs. But her true love language? Food. The crinkle of a treat bag will have her sprinting across the room in seconds, and she approaches every meal like it’s the highlight of her day (because, to her, it absolutely is). Despite her bold personality, she’s incredibly sweet, always ready to snuggle up after a good play session or a satisfying snack. This outgoing little calico brings warmth, laughter, and a whole lot of personality—plus a healthy appetite—to any home lucky enough to have her. Contact us at tkcrescue@gmail.com if interested!

Meet Jenga – my “class clown” sweet little lady who is finally ready for her forever home! TOO LONG, DIDN’T READ - SUMMARY: * Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat * Our rescue is located in Houston, TX, and we transport our babies to wonderful adopters in the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, and Colorado (on occasion). Transport cost is included in the adoption fee. * Jenga will be shy at first in her new home and needs an adopter who will be patient with her while she adjusts. * Adoption fee (adult 1.5+ years) is $315 I had the pleasure of finding and raising Miss Jenga for the last year and a half, helping her go from a scared little kitten to a confident and beautiful cat. And BOY is she beautiful — a chunky little Tabico / Calico with cheek smudges who always looks like she’s smiling! Perfection! For the first year we were together, Jenga had no interest in being my friend. Don’t get me wrong, she was loving her life indoors… I caught her on camera every day bouncing around with her foster kitten buddies and chowing down on all the food she could possibly want. She just wasn’t ready to trust humans, and with that cute little face, I didn’t mind waiting around for her ;) About a year into our time together, Jenga finally made notable progress. She started getting excited to see me when I walked in the room! She darted up to a high shelf where she felt safe, stretched, rolled around, and even accepted some pets from me in exchange for treats. Since that day, Jenga has continued to become a confident, sweet, and friendly little kitty. She is without a doubt the queen of the foster cats, and they all follow her lead. She has also become a bit of a class clown!! She is shamelessly in love with Churu treats and will tap on my hand until she gets one (I put that video in her adoption profile - it’s pretty cute). She loves hanging out on her window perch, leaning over and staring down at me with her arms hanging over the side like a cute little dork. She also demands pets as soon as I walk in the room. It was bittersweet to realize that Jenga was finally ready for adoption because I love her to pieces. But after all her hard work learning to trust, Jenga deserves a family of her own who can give her all the love and attention she could ever want… not my loving foster home where she has to share that attention with 10 other kitties. I can’t wait to find her perfect family! If (and only if) you are considering opening your home to two cats, Jenga has a best friend named Aspen (a petite orange gal) who needs an understanding adopter willing to help bring her out of her shell. Adopting Aspen is NOT a condition for adopting Jenga, because Jenga deserves her happily ever after regardless. Just worth mentioning :) — Jenga has lived with multiple cats her whole life and would do very well if adopted with a buddy or into a home with a friendly resident cat. She has never met a dog before, but with proper introductions she may do well with a very calm and cat-savvy dog. Her ideal home would be a relatively calm environment with no children (or older / respectful children who understand the importance of giving a kitty her space.) She will thrive with experienced cat owners who will be patient while she gets used to her new surroundings. Once she does, she will return that love and patience tenfold! Jenga is approximately 2 years old, spayed, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. She does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy.

Meet Paisley, the teeny tiny girl with a BIG personality! QUICK NOTES * Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat * Paisley is a very social girl and needs to be adopted with a buddy or to a house with a playful and friendly resident kitty * We transport our babies from Houston, TX to the NE, PNW, and locations along those routes (adoption fee includes transport) * Adoption Fee (kitten < 6 mo) is $425 and includes all vetting and cost of transport --- Paisley may only be two months old, but she has never once gotten that memo! This short-haired dark grey tabby is instantly recognizable by her two most charming features: a sweet little heart-shaped orange spot on her neck and the most adorable white smudge on her nose. She is, in a word, special. Paisley is always on the move, always making friends, and always the first to say hello to a new face (feline or human). She is smart, bold, and utterly unstoppable. She loves to play, will follow a Churu treat packet to the ends of the earth, and genuinely thrives with feline companionship. She’d do best in a home with at least one or two other cats to keep up with her big energy and even bigger heart. This little girl loves her "siblings" Puck and Piper (the little kitten family that adopter her as their own), and also does great with her foster buddy Gigi. Sometimes she is still a little shy at first with new people, but will warm up quickly once she knows she can trust you! This little girl is one of a kind. If you’re lucky enough to adopt Paisley, she will absolutely run your household - and you’ll love every second of it. Foster siblings: Puck (F), Piper (F), Gigi (F) --- 🐾 Health & Care: • FVRCP & rabies vaccinated • Spayed and microchipped • Current on dewormer & flea prevention Fostered in Houston, TX: transport available to the Pacific Northwest, the Northeast, and stops along the route. Transport costs are covered by the adoption fee. Your adoption fee saves two lives: it brings Paisley home AND funds spay/neuter surgeries, vaccines, and critical veterinary care for homeless cats and community cats in need. One fee. Two lives saved.
