Story
Pippy: A Pocketfull of Purrs Meet Pippy, a petite 7-month-old short-haired beauty dressed in snowy white with charming tabby accents, like a little artist added stripes at the last moment. She may be small, but her heart is enormous. Her fur is unbelievably soft, bunny-soft, the kind that invites “just one more cuddle” and then somehow turns into an hour. Pippy adores people and wants to be part of whatever you’re doing, whether that’s lounging on the couch or bustling around the house. She’s a champion snuggler with a playful streak, happily switching between toy time and cuddle time without missing a beat. She also does well with other cats and would love a feline friend to keep her company. Because she’s still young and full of kitten energy, Pippy needs to be adopted into a home with another young cat who can be her playmate, nap buddy, and partner in gentle chaos. Sweet, social, and perfectly petite, Pippy is the kind of kitten who fits right into the rhythm of a home and makes it warmer just by being there. Cats are negative for FelV/FIV, receive age-appropriate vaccines and deworming, are spayed/neutered and are microchipped (free lifetime registration with adoption). All of our pets go home with a "Go Home Goody Bag" that includes a starter supply of food, treats, toys, and a voucher for a free month of pet insurance from Trupanion.

Story
MAJOR CUDDLE BUG DOB 4/13/25 Hey there, everyone! I’m Karma, a cuddly, affectionate, and loving tortoiseshell gal who relishes it when Foster Meowmy lavishes me with attention, especially constant head kisses as well as head and chest massages. Of course, in typical tortietude, everything has to be on my terms. Sometimes, when I’m in the mood for loving, I have to paw at Foster Meowmy to tell her just the sweet spot where I want her to pet me. Other times I have to remind Foster Meowmy of my sweet presence when I see one of my siblings getting her love instead of me. When I’m in a caressing mood and I see Foster Meowmy lying down, I’ll run up to snuggle right next to her, often draping my arm over hers. On the other hand, if I’m the one who’s asleep and Foster Meowmy comes to cuddle up next to me, I immediately start purring in anticipation of her giving me some affection. It’s fine with me if Foster Meowmy holds me briefly, but I’ll meow when I’m ready to get down. And I’m no couch potato! No siree! I love to play hide-and-seek and tag as well as roll around in my beloved catnip. True confessions: I’m almost always a sweetie, but sometimes I nibble on Foster Meowmy, including her toes! After my feral momma birthed Jupiter, Pluto, Opal, and me outside of Foster Meowmy’s house, Momma moved us through an open window to inside a neighbor’s car . . . and then again a few doors down to a used-car business. Imagine Foster Meowmy’s surprise when she looked inside an old car and found not only us under the driver’s seat but also another litter of four kittens under the passenger’s seat!! When we were five 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 jump in the laps of my forever family and then luxuriate in their hugs, cuddles, and kisses. Could I be the next “baby” you shower with attention? 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-A042 Karma 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.

Story
If you have ever dreamed of a cat who will curl up beside you, melt into your hands, and purr like you are her whole world — you need to meet Ulani. She is the kind of kitten who doesn’t just tolerate affection… she lives for it. The moment you start petting her, she softens completely, leaning into your touch, eyes half-closed, purring like the happiest little engine. She will stay there as long as you let her, completely content just being loved. If you’re someone who wants a true cuddle companion, Ulani is that girl. Ulani is about five months old and already has the sweetest, gentlest personality. She isn’t overly wild or chaotic — she’s affectionate in the most genuine, heart-melting way. When I spent time with her, she laid with me the entire time, happily soaking up pets and attention. Later, she cuddled with me in bed like she had always belonged there. It wasn’t just cute — it was comforting. She makes you feel chosen. She absolutely thrives on physical affection. Pet her, scratch her little head, rub her back — she will reward you with nonstop purrs and the softest little nuzzles. She would do wonderfully in a home with someone who truly enjoys bonding with their cat through touch and closeness. If you’re the type of person who talks to your cat, lets them sleep beside you, and wants a constant cozy presence, Ulani will fit into your life beautifully. At just five months old, she still has that youthful sweetness and curiosity, but her personality leans heavily toward calm affection and companionship. She isn’t just a kitten you watch from across the room — she wants to be with you, next to you, touching you, part of your everyday moments. Ulani is more than just a sweet cat — she’s the kind of companion who makes a house feel warmer. The kind who greets you softly, curls up beside you at night, and reminds you how special it is to share your life with a gentle soul. If you’ve been hoping for a loving, cuddly, purring best friend, Ulani is waiting for you. And once she curls up in your arms, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without her.

Our cats are brought to you in style by a beautiful private bus, equipped with air conditioning for comfort, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24-hour care. 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 $600 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.

DISCLAIMER- Breed type is determined based on general appearance and behavioral characteristics, and cannot be guaranteed unless DNA test results were provided at intake.*
