Story
Meet Thunder! Thunder is a 5-month-old tabby kitten with the cutest round face and an affectionate, loving personality. He adores chasing feather toys and will happily entertain you with his playful energy. Thunder is wonderful with kids and would thrive in a family home. He also gets along great with other cats and would be happy joining a feline-friendly household. When playtime is over, Thunder loves affection and won’t say no to cuddles. This sweet boy is ready to join a fun-loving home where he can play, snuggle, and be spoiled the way he deserves. Application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6908ed00a297d4272e0a9956 Questions?

Pick-up day is unforgettable! You will get to follow along on their journey through a private Facebook Event page, where you will see photos, have the opportunity to connect with other adopters, and receive updates and constant communication along the way. One of our Adoption Coordinators can help to find the closest transport pick-up location to you! The adoption fee is $525 and includes all vetting: FVRCP vaccines (minimum of 2 but could be more depending on age and time in the program), FeLV vaccines, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, combo tested, extended medical such as dentals, eye surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries prior to adoption when suggested by our partner vets, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a health certificate deeming the kitty healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and many priceless years of love and loyal companionship! Why adopt from Three Little Pitties? The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is the highest in the nation. Statistics show that there are over 1 million homeless animals in this region alone. Three Little Pitties Rescue is a nonprofit dog and cat rescue that partners with the community to make a difference. Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and saving all breeds of dogs and cats from the streets or animal shelters that oftentimes have no other option but to euthanize animals for space. This kitty you’ve found online is lucky to be in our program, and even luckier to have you notice it! Three Little Pitties Rescue (3LP) wants to set you and your new family member up for success! In addition to a fully vetted furbaby you also receive other additional perks such as a code for a free bag of cat litter AND a code for 50% off a 2nd bag of litter from Catalyst Pet, coupons for a fun visit to Petco, and support through our Facebook Adopters group where you can connect with thousands of other adopters, 3LP volunteers, fosters and staff. We seek to adopt to families who understand that these are rescues and will require continued efforts but are well on their way to being the best kitties that they can be! We ask that you give them time (can take weeks to months) to decompress in their new home, do slow introductions to other pets and let their true personalities have a chance to come through. We celebrated our 7 year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 16,000 very lucky dogs and cats into amazing homes! By adopting from us, you save TWO lives! The pet you adopt, and you create an opportunity for another animal to be saved in that spot. Together, we can be heroes. Follow our rescue journey through the links below! https://www.facebook.com/ThreeLittlePittiesRescueSavingKitties/ https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue/ https://www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue/ *Due to the rising cost of fuel and transportation expenses, there will be an additional $87 surcharge for transport. DISCLAIMER- Breed type is determined based on general appearance and behavioral characteristics, and cannot be guaranteed unless DNA test results were provided at intake.*

Story
Shadow is a purebred British Shorthair. Papers are included. He is very sweet and gets along well with other cats and small dogs. He can be shy at first, but will warm up to you if you are kind and patient. Shadow’s previous owner passed away, and I took him in shortly after. He was clearly sad and confused for a few months, which is why I didn’t place him sooner. My other pets welcomed him, and Shadow has shown no aggression toward them. Please reach out for more information.

Story
~ I am a shy but sweet guy, I would prefer a peaceful home.~ I have not had much experience with other cats or dogs, I might be willing to share a home with a furry friend.~ I would prefer to live with adults and kids over age of 10 who are also calm and quiet to match my energy level.

Story
🌺 Aloha, I’m Keke Leilani 🌺 My name means “heavenly flower,” and I’m a 9-year-young island girl at heart. I just celebrated my birthday on February 17th, and my only wish is to find my forever ‘ohana — my family. 💕 I may be a little shy when we first meet, like a quiet breeze before sunrise. But once I feel safe, I will bloom just for you. I am a true people-person kitty. I don’t need other cats or dogs in my world — my heart is happiest when it belongs to my human. I will follow you gently from room to room, just wanting to be near you. When you rest on the couch, I will lay beside you. When you sleep, I’ll be close, feeling safe in your presence. I love soft pets, calm spaces, and peaceful moments. I was surrendered through no fault of my own, but I carry nothing but sweetness in my heart. I am fully vetted and ready to begin my next chapter — one filled with love, patience, and quiet companionship. If you are looking for a loyal little shadow with a tender spirit, perhaps we are meant to be each other’s home. 🌸 With love, Keke Leilani 🌺🐾

Story
Autumn’s a very pretty tiger stripe tabby who’s just raised a big litter of kittens brilliantly. She did a great job and we’re looking to find her a home that’s on the quieter side where she’ll be the one and only kitty. She needs her people time one on one without interruptions or competition. Autumn’s looking for a best buddy - could that be you?
