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
