Calico kittens & cats in Houston, Texas

Meet Mossy, one of the Pinery Paws kittens! Born in a meadow along the 59, we were rescued just before the big freeze. We’re now warm, safe, and very cuddly—expert snugglers with soft purrs and cozy vibes. A poser and great companion, I’m known for my good looks and snuggles. Don’t let the cuddles fool you—I am also full of kitten fun! My siblings and I zip through tunnels, dart between your legs (arms and laps too), and proudly invent games like bathtub tag (yes, it’s a thing. You should try it or just watch us with amusement). Adopt me—or better yet, one of my siblings too—for double the love, laughter, kitten cuddles, and chaos. I promise: you won’t be disappointed. Reach out today! Or see me at Petsmart 2902 S Shepherd Dr Sat and Sun 1130-4p.

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.

WILL HALVE YOUR SORROWS AND DOUBLE YOUR JOYS  DOB 5/1/25 Hey there, everyone! I’m Misty, a beautiful, sweet, playful dilute calico gal whose amiable personality radiates to everyone whom I meet. In fact, when I was spayed, the vet staff was impressed by how sweet I am. That my congeniality stands out is quite a compliment since they see a steady stream of kittens. I was found as a four-month old orphan kitten with no momma or siblings in sight. I’ll never tell, but Foster Meowmy thinks I must’ve been someone’s pet who got lost, escaped, or was abandoned. When she found me at her community cat feeding station in southwest Houston, I was hungry for both food and love, so I let her pick me up and carry me home. I made friends easily with my five foster mates, and I’m delighted to have a built-in “litter” because all of us orphans are about the same age! We tumble and pounce, climb and wrestle with each other until we’re exhausted, and then we collapse in a kitten puddle. We love to chase each other through the cat tunnel, and I’m mesmerized when Foster Meowmy waves the flying-turkey-feather wand toy over my head for me to lunge at and wiggles it around the room for me to pounce on. Now I’m ready to bring my cordial charm, kitten friskiness, and pastel beauty for my forever family to enjoy. Could that be you? Take me home, and I promise to halve your sorrows and double your joys. How can you resist me? If you're looking for a pair of kittens, please consider one of my foster mates, Freddy, Sushi, Little Turkey, Porkchop, or McCoy. 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 25-0827-C135 Misty’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.

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. To meet me please contact my foster home via GNARHouston@gmail.com

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

Dale is ready to be your new best friend!! This little man has a heart of gold and has so much love to give. Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/ Dale loves to play hard with his human and cat friends before settling down for a good cuddle sesh! His favorite things are wand toys, treats, snugs, and his human pals. He would do great in a home with other cats and humans who are looking for some little kitty attention. This sweet little kitten boy is ready to bring warmth and laughter to your home!! This adorable tuxie boy was found by his foster out on the streets of Houston. Thankfully, now this little buddy is getting to live the indoor cat life. Now all he needs is to find his forever family. Is it you?? Dale is neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in great health. He does a great job of keeping his litterbox tidy. All they need now is a forever home! He has never met a dog, but with slow introductions to a calm, cat-savvy pup, we think he could learn to love a new dog friend. The adoption application can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Dale is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along these routes. ——— ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: When you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you're doing more than giving your new family member a home. Each adoption fee pays for a cat on the streets of Houston to get fixed, helping end the cycle of overpopulation in a rough environment. We thank you so much for your contribution to our efforts! To learn more about our TNR (Trap / Neuter / Return) efforts, please follows us on Instagram @roses_rescues_htx.

Meet Georgia, your new best friend!!! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Georgia and her sister Ginny (also adoptable) are two peas in a pod!! Georgia is a play machine, and loves to wrestle and chase her toys. After a good zoomie, she loves to settle down for a good nap and a snuggle. Ginny is the braver of the two gals, and helps her sister Georgia feel safe when she is scared. They are a dynamic duo who are ready to find their forever home! Ginny and Georgia were trapped from a cat colony, very weak and sick from a life on the street. They have been nursed back to health and are getting bigger and stronger every day!! They had a traumatic start to life, but are they learning to feel safe and secure. These girls will need a forever family that lets them warm up at their own pace. All they need now is you to give them the love and attention they deserve!! The two kitties aren't bonded and would be fine if adopted separately, however. Ginny and Georgia are ~8 months old, spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in great health. They do a great job of keeping their litter box tidy. All they need now is a forever home! They have never met a dog, but with slow introductions to a calm, cat-savvy pup, we think they could learn to love a new dog friend. They may be overwhelmed with rambunctious toddlers or young kids, but would be fine with an older or cat-savvy kiddo. Priority will be given to applicants interested in adopting a pair of kittens or who have patient, playful resident cats or dogs at home. Adopt Ginny and Georgia, and double the love, double the purrs, and double the fun! --- The adoption application can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Ginny and Georgia are currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along these routes. ——— ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: When you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you're doing more than giving your new family member a home.
