Story
Meet Yuzu – Your Chatty Little Ray of Sunshine 🍊 Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Yuzu’s story started with a bit of heartbreak. We believe she was dumped by her previous owner near a local colony of stray cats. She was very scared all alone outside, but luckily she quickly found someone she could trust... her finder and foster mom. Yuzu immediately ran up and did some REAL big meows, rolling around for attention and food. After just a couple days of feeding her, she was happily scooped up and taken home for a new chance at happiness. Despite that rough start, Yuzu has the sweetest, most loving spirit you could imagine. This gentle girl adores people, and will make an amazing snuggle buddy. When she’s not cuddling, Yuzu enjoys playtime—especially with catnip toys, which bring out her mischievous side! She also never says no to her favorite wet food and will eagerly come running when it’s mealtime. Yuzu is quite the little conversationalist. If you talk to her, she’ll “talk” right back with cute little mews and chirps. She also has a phenomenal “elevator booty” and a heart-melting habit of hiding her face when she’s really excited. She’ll bury her nose in her blankie when she’s getting really good butt scratches, or she’ll press her head up against your neck when she’s happy. And of course, she’s absolutely beautiful. Yuzu has stunning bright green eyes, an adorable little smudge on her nose and cheek, and a gorgeous agouti coat (also known as a ticked tabby) with rich dark red undertones that make her outer beauty match her unique and perfect personality. — Yuzu is a petite girl and vets have had varying estimates on her age from ~2 years to 5 years old. Regardless of where she falls in that range, she is happy, healthy, playful, and cute as a button! She is also spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV! She has been living with other cats in her foster home and has tolerated them well so far. We think she would love a kitty friend in her forever home, especially since she’s still very young and playful. Yuzu has never met a dog, but with slow and careful introductions with a cat-savvy dog, she could get along with a pup sibling. Could Yuzu be the little ray of sunshine your home is missing? 💛 ---

ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: 

 Our adoption fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and transportation costs. Also, when you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you’re doing more than giving your new family member a home. Each adoption fee sponsors a cat on the streets of Houston to get fixed, helping end the cycle of overpopulation in a rough environment. We thank you so much for your contribution to our efforts!

Meet Chanel No. 5 🖤✨ Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Just like her namesake, Chanel No. 5 is timeless, elegant, and impossible to forget. This stunning all-black beauty has a sleek, glossy coat that shines like satin and a personality that will absolutely steal your heart. Chanel’s story started on the streets, where she was originally trapped to be spayed and returned as part of a TNR program. But the moment rescuers met her, it was clear this girl had other plans. She was far too friendly and chatty to go back outside! Instead, she asked—very politely and very persistently—for a cozy indoor life… and we’re so glad she did. Since coming inside, Chanel has blossomed into even more of a lovebug. She adores people and has a magical ability to charm anyone into giving her pets (and probably a few extra treats too). She’s talkative, affectionate, and always happy to keep you company. When she’s not busy winning hearts, Chanel enjoys batting at wand toys and string toys like a tiny panther in training. And after playtime? You’ll likely find her relaxing in her favorite hammock, living the luxurious life she was clearly meant for. Her name fits her perfectly: this former street kitty now expects—and deserves—the very best. A soft place to nap, plenty of affection, and a forever family to adore her. If you’re looking for a cat with beauty, personality, and just the right touch of glamour, Chanel No. 5 is ready to make your home her runway. 🐾 --- Chanel is approximately 2.5 years old, spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and in perfect health! She does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy, all she needs now is her forever home. She has been living with other cats in her foster home and has tolerated them well so far. We think she would appreciate having a kitty friend to play with, but she would also do just fine as an only cat. Chanel has never met a dog, but with slow and careful introductions with a cat-savvy dog, she could get along with a pup sibling. ---
