Double the Fun: Meet Dipper & Mabel! This adorable brother-sister duo is searching for a forever home together — and their bond is just as special as they are. Dipper (male) and Mabel (female) came to us from the same home after their family found themselves overwhelmed with too many kitties due to not spaying and neutering. Through it all, these two have stayed side by side, offering each other comfort and confidence. Mabel is the more confident of the pair — and she’s truly one of a kind! This beautiful girl has two different colored eyes, making her as unique on the outside as she is sweet on the inside. She warms up quickly, leans in for head rubs, and loves showering her people with affection. Dipper takes his cues from his sister. He may hang back at first, but once he feels safe, his gentle, loving personality shines. With Mabel nearby, his confidence blossoms, and you’ll see just how sweet and playful he really is. At about 5–7 months old, they are full of kitten energy and ready to bring joy to their forever family. They previously lived with many other cats and may do well with a calm, quiet dog. Because they can be a little shy at first, they would thrive in a home with older, respectful children. Dipper and Mabel will be spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this stunning bonded pair, apply today at boomersbestbuddies.com. Two sweet souls. One unbreakable bond. And a lifetime of love waiting to happen.

Story
Double the Love: Meet Powder & Aspen! These two gorgeous girls are a bonded pair looking for a forever home together — and trust us, once you meet them, you won’t want to separate them! Powder and Aspen came to us from a local shelter after their previous family found themselves with far more kitties than they could care for due to not spaying and neutering. Thanks to rescue, these sisters are now safe, thriving, and ready for their next chapter. Aspen is the more confident of the two. She warms up quickly and is the first to ask for head rubs and affection. She’s curious, social, and loves being part of the action. Powder follows her sister’s lead and is just as sweet. She may take a moment to feel comfortable, but once she does, she’s gentle, loving, and happiest right by Aspen’s side. At about 5–7 months old, these girls are playful, affectionate, and full of kitten charm. They previously lived with many other cats and may do well with a calm, quiet dog. Because they can be a little shy at first, they would do best in a home with older, respectful children. Powder and Aspen will be spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption.

Story
Kimmie is a beautiful orange girl with the sweetest, most delicate little heart. She may not rush up to greet you right away, but that’s only because she’s still learning that the world can be kind. Once she feels safe, you’ll see just how special she truly is. Watch her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/bWf6FFlBgUY?si=pEJth2HrU5P6AQ_Z Kimmie absolutely adores treats (they are the key to her heart ) and she quietly melts for gentle pets. When she realizes she’s safe, she leans into affection in the softest, most touching way. There is something incredibly rewarding about earning her trust — it feels like being chosen by royalty. She’s not dramatic or demanding. She’s gentle, observant, and thoughtful. The kind of cat who will bond deeply with her person and love them with her whole heart. Kimmie just needs a calm, patient home where she can blossom at her own pace. And when she does? She will be the most loyal, loving little companion you could ever ask for. Her past doesn’t define her — it just makes her resilience even more beautiful. She’s discovering that cozy beds, full bowls, and kind hands are pretty wonderful things. Now she just needs a forever family to show her that love is here to stay. If you’ve ever wanted to be someone’s safe place… Kimmie is waiting for you. Adopt her now! Application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6985322586d34c2bc1000254 Questions?

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. 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 $86 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
Meet Basbousa — A Little Jewel Looking for Her Forever Home Basbousa is a strikingly beautiful Egyptian Mau mix with mesmerizing markings and a personality to match. At just nine months old, she is the perfect blend of kitten playfulness and young adult affection. This sweet girl is: Loving and affectionate Playful and curious Very friendly and enjoys being around people Basbousa adores attention, interactive play, and will happily charm her way into your heart (and your lap!). She would make a wonderful companion for a family or individual looking for a friendly, engaging, and elegant feline friend. If you’re looking for a cat who combines beauty, grace, and a warm, loving nature — Basbousa may be your perfect match. Message us to learn more about adopting Basbousa and giving her the forever home she deserves. All of our cats for adoption are sterilized, fully vaccinated, treated for fleas/worms, are negative for FIV/FELV, have a registered microchip, and come with their travel crate.  Adoptions are on a cost-recovery basis and are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Potential adopters for our Persian cats need to have prior Persian cat experience as they need to be well cared for.  Grooming, dental, and veterinarian exams are done once a year, and a good quality brand of cat food such as Royal Canin, Hills Science Diet, or Purina Pro plan is the upper tier level with a black label. We are a rescue and get what we get in terms of cats in need of a home. In no way do we work with breeders or buy the cats from the Friday markets so we can put them up for adoption as a rescue. https://www.petstablished.com/adoption_form/11596/generic Native Mau Cats of Egypt are the oldest known descendants of Egyptian domesticated cats (which have provided a partial foundation for the recent Egyptian Mau cat breed), and they are one of only a few naturally occurring, small, spotted cats in the world. Adoptions are on a cost-recovery basis and by an approved application.   NVEcats aims to increase education in Egypt and around the world about these magnificent and intelligent cats. Cats and kittens are not adopted out on a “first-come, first-serve” basis. We choose to match our applicants and cats based on what we deem as best suited for that particular cat or kitten. ##2619169##
