Calico kittens & cats in Houston, Texas

ADORABLE COMBINATION OF SOCIAL BUTTERFLY AND ENERGIZER BUNNY  DOB 5/27/26 Hey there, everyone! I’m Mabel, an outgoing, energetic, and playful calico gal -- a little social butterfly who loves everyone whom I meet, including kids, other cats, and dogs! Foster Meowmy calls me a “firecracker” because I’m always on the move – either running or playing all around the house. In fact, the only time that I have not been super-active was when I was recuperating from my spay surgery and Foster Meowmy crated me so that I’d stay still for at least two days. When I was about six weeks old, a Good Samaritan found me outside of her house as a lonely orphan with no momma or siblings in sight. She brought me to her porch and fed me until she could arrange for Foster Meowmy to bring me to the safe haven of her home. I've tumbled and pounced, climbed and wrestled with my fostermates Usher and Jules as if they were my siblings, and the resident cats have been my surrogate aunts and uncles, who have taught me all the manners that Momma would've taught me if she'd been around. Now I’m ready to brighten my forever home by being an adorable combination of social butterfly and energizer bunny. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! I promise that we’ll fall head over paws in love with each other the instant that we meet! HOPE ID 26-0716-C065 Mabel’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.

Hi, I'm Cruise! Yep, that's really my name—and I've got the rescue story to prove it! My siblings and I were found on the side of the 290 freeway as cars cruised by. Lucky for me, my road trip ended with a rescue, and now I'm searching for my forever destination...your home! I'm a spunky, social and confident calico with gentle affection. I love playing with my siblings, climbing high perches, and hanging out with my humans. I'm looking for a family that's ready for a lifetime of laughs, snuggles, and a little calico spunk. 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.

Meet Sandals, a snuggly calico with a rumbling purr. Found at a pool on a very hot Houston summer day, I invited myself indoors for the shade and stayed for the cuddles. I’m a certified purr machine who loves being held, hanging out with other cats, and curling up with my favorite humans. I’ll also dabble in silly play—a little toy or wand chasing, a surprise pounce, maybe a zoomie when the mood strikes. But after all that excitement, I’m right back to chilling by your side, on your lap, or—naturally—on your feet. I’d be the perfect cuddle buddy for Houston thunderstorms, lazy summer mornings, and coffee-on-the-couch kind of days. Sweet, cozy, and cuddly, I’m ready to follow in your footsteps. So grab your favorite Sandals today! Just be warned: I’m much cuter than the ones in your closet. See me at PetSmart (2902 S Shepherd Dr) Sat & Sun 1130-4p.

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. 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 Mimi will be this weekend, email us at sfenicle1@gmail.com, and a volunteer will get back to you.

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.

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.

Meet Almond — a quiet beauty with a gentle soul 🤎 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 stops along the way. Transport cost is included in the adoption fee. * Adoption fee (adult 1.5+ years) is $315 --- Almond has spent much of her life so far outdoors, finding her way through the world near a hotel before a kind rescuer gave her the chance at something more. Despite her past, she carries a soft, tender spirit that shines through in everything she does. Almond is a striking lady!! Her adorably round body is peak physical perfection, and she is the most adorable little "Cinnabon" swirls that look like they were painted on. She’s petite overall with short little legs and dainty features, but paired with the sweetest round belly that gives her an endearing, slightly wobbly walk as she does her Important Cat Things. This sweet little gal loves cuddling in her fluffy bed where she can disappear into the softness. She adores being warm and cozy now that she's experienced the good life. During exceptionally good naps you’ll only catch a glimpse of her: a tiny face peeking out or a single paw stretching from the bed fluff. Nowadays Almond is never really alone. She has a quiet, nurturing presence that draws other cats and kittens to her, and she has been a mother figure to many of the kittens in her foster home. You’ll often find them gathered around her, exchanging gentle headbutts and soft little “kisses,” a constant display of affection and trust. They love to make biscuits on her tummy and will tuck in next to her any chance they get! Almond herself is gentle, sensitive, and a bit reserved at first. She takes her time learning to trust, but with patience and kindness, she blossoms into something truly special. The kind of presence that doesn’t demand attention, but becomes the reason you smile every single day. She’s looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe, be herself, and continue sharing her quiet kind of love. --- Almond gets along perfectly with other cats and would do well if adopted with a friend or to a home with a friendly resident kitty. She has never met a dog, but with slow introductions to a patient, cat-savvy dog we think she could learn to love a new pup sibling. Her ideal situation is a calm and loving home where she can feel safe, be herself, and continue sharing her love with a family who will be hers forever. Almond is approximately 2.5-3 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.. all she needs now is a home! The adoption application can be found here:
https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat

 Almond is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along these routes.
