Calico kittens & cats in Houston, Texas

SO UNIQUE  DOB 9/1/24 Meet Kali Kat: The Tiny Tempest with a Tender Side! Forged in frost and rescued from the chaos of a Texas freeze, Kali Kat emerged like a mythical creature—equal parts fire and ice. With her enchanting cali-tabby coat and the soul of a tiny lioness, Kali was discovered mid-meow, summoning the universe for rescue with the vocal prowess of an opera diva.

She’ll melt into your hand like butter on toast… until another feline dares cross her path without proper clearance. Kali's social circle is exclusive, darling. She’s not here for your average kitty drama. She prefers quality over quantity in her furry friendships, and she’s not afraid to flash her adorably ferocious "angry face" to keep the riffraff inline.Affectionate, expressive, and just the right amount of spicy—Kali Kat is not your average housecat. She’s an experience. A vibe. A legend in the making.

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.

I'm Athena, the chill calico queen. Much too pretty to be outdoors, I was found scrounging for food at a dilapidated apartment complex. Eager for food, attention, and a return to my royal beginnings, I ran up to a nice lady who took me in! A total sweetie, I like chin and neck rubs and ear scratches too. A fairly chill calico girl, I like to spend my days in cat trees and cat caves nearby my humans. I also get along with other cats just fine, including kittens (I mostly just watch them play). Did someone say play?! Yes, I will get off my throne to play on occasion, climbing on wall mounted shelves and cat trees, leaping after string and wand toys. I can be a bit of a goofy gal. But mostly, I just enjoy chilling on my throne like a true queen and having my ears rubbed and cheeks stroked. Are you looking for a calico queen?! Take me home for a truly regal experience :). -Reach out today to meet me ASAP.

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

Meet Bacon, a sassy little flirt who is looking for her forever home! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/ Bacon was found on the streets by a Good Samaritan, and it was obvious she wasn't born outdoors. Bacon was immediately friendly, snuggly, and craving human attention, so we think she was purchased and later dumped. Lucky for Bacon, this means she has a chance at an even better life! Little Bacon is hilarious. She is the embodiment of the word "kitten". She's playful and fun, loves jumping and climbing and playing with toys. She also has the ideal kitten attitude, and goes into every situation with full confidence... When she gets overwhelmed though, she comes running back to her foster mom! Bacon is a fluffy squishy mess of kitty. She will make an amazing buddy for a family looking for a cat with a strong and hilarious personality. Her furry ears and the smudge on her pink nose make her absolutely irresistible. Apparently Bacon was picked on a bit by the colony cats after she was dumped, so she is still learning that when her foster kitten siblings wrestle with her, it's just for fun and not scary. I can't even write a super long bio about Bacon because there are only so many ways to say she is perfect. Set up a video call to meet her today and I guarantee you'll agree! ___ Bacon thrives with kitty companionship once she feels comfortable. She does tiny little "baps" with her paws when she is overwhelmed during play time, but then gets right back in on the action. Bacon has never met a dog, and might be a little scared by a larger, rambunctious pup. With proper introductions, she would likely do great with an existing resident cat or a calm, cat-savvy dog. Or, she would be thrilled if adopted with one of her new foster buddies! Bacon is ~3.5 months old, spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and microchipped. She does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy, all she needs now is her forever home. Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Bacon 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. (All adoption fees also include transportation costs, spay/neuter of the animal, vaccinations, and microchipping.)

Meet Little Mikey, a loving and sweet cuddle bug ready to complete your family! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Mikey and his littermates (Joselito, Patti, and Jasmine) were found stranded at a local gym. After being rescued at just a few weeks old, they are now safe and sound and living the indoor "gym life"! Mikey is ready to be your new best friend. He loves to play and is an expert at running on the cat wheel and chasing toys around the house. He's a constant source of entertainment! Little Mikey is the definition of a Curious Kitten... He wants to know everything you're doing and LOVES to try and help. He just adores being in the middle of the action and hanging out with his favorite humans, no matter what the activity is! This cutie pie is a huge fan of snuggle time as well. He loves curling up on your lap and taking a nap. Mikey Moo is a special guy with a big heart and so much love to give. He is more than ready to meet his perfect match -- could it be you?! Mikey and his siblings (Joselito, Patti, and Jasmine) are ~5 months old, spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in great health. They do a great job of keeping their litterbox tidy. All they need now is a forever home! The Gym Kitties 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 are so excited they get to live the inside cat life!! The adoption application can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Mikey, Joselito, Patti, and Jasmine 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.

This pint-sized void kitten is Ebony, a little girl who just wants to be pet and loved. And with that face... who wouldn't oblige?! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/ Ebony was found by a Good Samaritan hiding under a car all alone. It was obvious that she was familiar with humans, and once she was brought inside she immediately warmed up to her foster family. Ebony is hilarious - she is teeny tiny but has the confidence of a giant Tomcat. She is chatty and will let you know if she hasn't gotten enough love or wants to play. She also jumps up into your hand for "self-pets", which is adorable. This girl is hilarious, fearless, fluffy, and ready to be a part of her very own loving family. If you're looking for a daily and sweet family member who will also make you laugh... This is the girl for you. Meet Ebony today!! ----- Priority will be given to applicants interested in adopting a pair of kittens (discount given for adopting 2!) or who have patient, playful resident cats or dogs at home. Ebony has not met a dog before, but with slow and careful introductions to a well-behaved dog we think she would do great with a new pup sibling! Ebony has become very close with some of her foster siblings and would do great if adopted with any of them. She especially loves her kitten friend Mike and her older brother Boogie. Her friendly demeanor makes her willing to make new friends as well
