Story

🐾 Meet Penelope! 🖤 Penelope is a stunning 1-year-old black cat with a playful spirit and a heart full of love. She was found about a year ago and has since grown into a sweet, affectionate companion who truly enjoys being around people. Penelope is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly—she loves to chase toys and explore, but she’s just as happy curling up next to you for snuggles. She’s very friendly, does great with people, and even gets along well with dogs. Why she needs a new home: Despite lots of time and effort, Penelope hasn’t been able to get along with my other cat, and it’s starting to cause stress in the home. Because of this, I want to find her a home where she can truly relax and thrive. Her ideal home: * A home where she can be the only cat, or with someone experienced in slow introductions * A family or individual who can give her attention, playtime, and affection * A dog-friendly home could be a great fit!

Story

Dash was originally the youngest. Found on Thanksgiving day, it was initially thought he may be a part of this litter. There were no other kittens around. Dash was joined with the litter and accepted with love. But considering his size, it was clear, Dash too was orphaned. He is quite the love bug & wants to be with humans, or a sibling at all times. He has a single white whisker that draws attention and makes him that much more charming.

Story

God's Dogs Rescue plus Kitties does NOT transport any cats or kittens in or out of the state of Texas. It is too stressful for the cats or kittens to be transported long distances, especially when enclosed in a vehicle containing dogs and puppies. Thank you for your understanding. Good with cats/dogs? Unknown. Good with kids? Unknown, but I think she'd be better in a home with no kids. She is pretty chill most of the time. She took to being inside like she belonged there. She is litterbox trained. She's not very playful yet, but lately she's started playing with some toys on her own or playing with the kittens, though she tends to stop if she sees me watching. She's loves to be petted but is also just as happy to sleep somewhere nearby or lay where she can look out the window. She loves to be petted. However, sometimes she'll get irritated by a hand in her face or if you reach over her and she does not like being bent over or having your face near her. Most of the time she'll leave when she gets irritated, but sometimes she bats or snaps(she has only ever done this to my hands), however she is extremely gentle when she does. She doesn't want to hurt you, she just wants you to stop whatever it is she doesn't like. She loves food. When I first saw her she wouldn't come near me, but she became instantly friendly when I started feeding her. Feeding her anything is probably the best way to earn her approval, but she really likes any kind of meaty snacks. We usually use chicken which is good enough, but her absolute favorite thing is brisket. I honestly think her ideal home is with someone with no kids or other pets and who will be happy with a cat that will just hang out nearby and want to be petted sometimes. I'm pretty sure she had the kittens in a bush on the side of the house and then later moved them to the porch, which is when I discovered them.
