Story
Valkyrie is a gorgeous, 2-year-old female calico cat that is looking for her full-time lap to sit on. Val has been raised in a home in the south Texas area where unfortunately, her owner can no longer keep her. She has been raised since a kitten, therefore she is very outgoing. As you can see from the video, she absolutely loves her pets and will sit there for as long as you pet her, which can be all day. Val has been raised around other cats, dogs and older children. She would do wonderfully with young children though, she’s just that friendly. One of Val’s quirks is that she LOVES to talk to you and will talk loudly to you. She will tell you all about her night, her day, the birds outside and how fast the grass grew that day. She is loud, proud and will keep you laughing. Val is such a good girl and will adjust to most households just fine. She is a very relaxed cat that just loves to love. A cat tree, your hand, and a couch are all her heart desires (as well as food!) Valkyrie is fixed, current on vaccinations, current on flea prevention, and microchipped. To apply to adopt this amazing girl, please fill out an application on our website at www.pawsitive-impact-animal-rescue.org

Story
Jesse is a beautiful 1 year old long hair male cat that is so sweet and gentle. This boy is beautiful, weighing in at 8.0 lbs as of 5/2/25 He is very friendly and would make a great part-time lap cat. He does still like his space from time to time. We think this is because he has grown up in a home with a lot of other cats though, so he doesn’t get as much attention as he wants. We do believe when adopted, he will be a full-time lap cat and cuddler. He does like sitting on cat trees and watching the other cats go about their business. He will also sit on you or next to you if you’re on the couch. He’s a Netflix and chill type of cat. Jesse, oddly enough, loves to eat fruit and would love a home that gave fruit to him for treats. He will sit and stare at you until he gets some in the kitchen. Never have we seen a cat that loves fruit as much as he does. Jesse is such a deserving boy and has grown up with dogs, other cats and older children in the home. He would do wonderful with all of them. He is barely reaching a year old, so he has a lot of life and love to give to his future forever home. Jesse is neutered, current on vaccinations, FIV/FLV negative, current on flea prevention, and microchipped.
