Story
This stunningly beautiful, medium haired fluffy beautiful black baby boy is Wesley! He came in as just a little baby and thankfully immediately went to a wonderful foster home! Since he was just a peanut he’s been raised with wonderful companionship from children, cats and dogs! He immediately began having all appropriate vet care and he has now had all of his medical work completed! He’s tested negative for fiv/felv, he’s current on vaccines, deworming, he’s microchipped and this little fellow is now neutered! He’s doing amazing and can’t wait to find a loving forever home. In his foster care he immediately was reliable about using the litterbox, and has had excellent house manners. We love his medium hair as it’s not long and easy to care for, but as a sleek bit of fluff to him that’s so velvety soft, and compliments his gorgeous green eyes! While he’s certainly a handsome baby boy, his personality is really what is the most incredible thing about him. He’s so snuggly and social, always looking to make friends. He is amazing with other cats and enjoys both snuggling and playing with them. He’s been raised with dogs and is very comfortable with them, and can be seen snuggled up to them at times as well! He’s a favorite of everyone he meets, always soaking up snuggles from people of all ages. He’s got quite an affectionate, loving personality. He enjoys is time snoozing on the sofa or cuddling in bed with you at night, and also has his silly little bursts of fun kitten energy where he plays with toys and is so adorable to watch! If this incredible baby boy is your dream kitten, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org and submit an application for adoption today!!

Story
Meet Lilu, a five-month-old orange tabby with a darling face and a soft, sun-kissed coat to match her warm personality. And here’s a fun fact: only about 20% of orange tabbies are female — which makes this little lady extra special. She came to us as a stray with her equally adorable brother, Wesley, and the two have been learning just how sweet indoor life can be. Lilu may be a bit timid at first, but once she feels safe, her affectionate side truly shines. She loves being held and rubbed — especially upside down like a baby — and she’s a big fan of head rubs. Lilu’s a big purrer and a total snuggle bug once she trusts you. She also really enjoys the company of other cats and takes comfort in having a feline friend nearby. Because of this, she must be adopted with her brother Wesley or into a home that already has another friendly kitty. Having a companion helps her confidence continue to grow. Lilu’s an active player who loves chasing rope toys and happily scratching away on her post. While she was pretty skittish at first, with patience and kindness she becomes a loving, playful companion who will absolutely steal your heart. Her adoption fee is $275 and Lilu is vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and spayed. If you're interested in this little cutie, please fill out an application at https://form.jotform.com/201805462692153. For questions, email info@happilyfureverafter.org.

Story
Meet Wesley, a five-month-old tabby with the sweetest little face and the most stunning striped coat you’ve ever seen. He came to us as a stray alongside his sister, Lilu, an orange tabby beauty, and the two have been figuring out indoor life together ever since. Wesley is truly a cat’s cat. He absolutely LOVES other kitties and takes so much comfort in their presence, so he must be adopted with his sister or into a home that already has a feline companion. Having a buddy helps him feel safe and brings out his playful, affectionate side. Wesley is very playful as well and loves to chase rope toys and scratch away on his tower. While he can be a bit shy at first, Wesley is making wonderful progress in his foster home. He was a bit skittish in the beginning, but once he learns to trust you, he becomes a comfortable, loving little shadow. Wesley is now even starting to come up to his foster family for pets and rubs — and he’s a BIG purr ball. Once that motor starts, it doesn’t stop! He loves butt rubs and enjoys cuddles (on his terms, of course — he is still a gentleman with boundaries). He doesn’t love being picked up but will tolerate it, and he continues to gain confidence each day. His adoption fee is $275 and Wesley is vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and neutered. If you're interested in this little cutie, please fill out an application at https://form.jotform.com/201805462692153. For questions, email info@happilyfureverafter.org.

Story
CERTIFIED CHATTY CAT DOB 4/1/25 Hey there, everyone! I’m Jasper, a cuddly, extremely playful, and curious brown tabby fella with strong mackerel stripes that make me look like an exotic jungle cat. I’m a very friendly and sociable guy who loves people, especially Foster Meowmy. That’s because she scratches my head just the way I like it – gently and endlessly. If it’s cuddle time, I don’t hesitate to poke my paw at her to remind her that I’m due for those glorious head massages. I can be a Velcro kitty who likes to stick close to her so much that I follow her around just to be in the same room with her. I’m not demanding, but sometimes I like to rub my pheromones on her legs just to remind her that I’m there. Occasionally I wake up and crawl up to be right next to her or lie on top of her. Foster Meowmy calls me her “certified yapper” because I’ll talk her arm off if I’m bored or lonely. And I don’t hesitate to give her my opinion on something when I’m exploring new spaces, toys, and even my siblings’ tails! Yes, I’m an extremely curious guy who continues to investigate and observe my surrounding world – long after my siblings have crashed and burned. In fact, I have gotten so seriously focused on my explorations that I’ve jumped straight in the air when Foster Meowmy surprised me by touching me. Always ready to play, I’m a frisky dude who’s obsessed with baby mice, crinkle balls, and spring toys. Another time that I “meow” to Foster Meowmy is to enlist her assistance in finding my favorite toys that I’ve lost. My feral momma birthed Obsidian, Onyx, Topaz, and me underneath the seat of an old car parked in a used-car business. Foster Meowmy’s finding us might never have happened if she hadn’t been trying to rescue another set of kittens whom another feral momma had birthed outside of Foster Meowmy’s house. The other momma had moved her litter from Meowmy’s yard to a few doors down to the used-car business. Imagine Meowmy’s surprise when she found not only the kittens she’d been tracking under the driver’s seat but also my litter under the passenger’s seat!! When we were seven weeks old and could eat on our own, Foster Meowmy gathered up both of our stowaway litters and brought us all inside to the safe haven of her home. Now I’m ready to bring my affectionate cuddling, Velcro companionship, and endearing chatter to my forever family. Could that be you? Will you help me find my lost toys? Arrange to meet me today, and if you’re looking for a pair of kittens, please consider adopting me with one of the other #car-stowaways. We think it’d be the cat’s meow if we could be adopted as a pair so we could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation. HOPE ID 25-0614-A047 Jasper is currently in the Houston, Texas area but can be transported to this location upon adoption. The $325 adoption fee includes transport, health certificate, spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites.

Double the Trouble, Double the Love: Meet Puck & Biscuit! These handsome bonded brothers are ready to find a forever home together — and they promise twice the fun and twice the snuggles! Puck and Biscuit came to us after their previous family became overwhelmed with too many kitties due to not spaying and neutering. Through all the changes, these two boys have stayed side by side, relying on each other for comfort and confidence. Puck is a striking gray tuxedo with a playful spark. He’s curious, affectionate, and always ready to investigate what you’re doing. He loves attention and will happily soak up head rubs and cuddles. Biscuit is his adorable orange and white tabby brother. Sweet and gentle, Biscuit is all purrs and snuggles. He and Puck look to each other for reassurance, and together they make the perfect team. At about 5–6 months old, these boys are full of kitten energy and love to play, explore, and then curl up for a cozy nap together. They previously lived with other cats and may do well with a calm, respectful dog. They would thrive in a home with older, gentle children who understand kitten manners. Puck and Biscuit will be neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption. If you’re ready to welcome this dynamic duo into your heart and home, apply today at boomersbestbuddies.com
