Story
Meet Mindy – a playful, cuddle bug! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Mindy is full of energy, curiosity, and just the right amount of mischief. Mindy loves teaming up with her siblings for playtime shenanigans, and she’s often the one leading the charge into kitten-sized trouble (the fun kind). After all that excitement though, she’s more than happy to settle in your arms for a good cuddle. Mindy is an affectionate, playful girl and will make sure she gets your attention when she needs it! She loves to be with her siblings in a cuddle pile, on your lap, or racing around the house. She's a very loving and fun little kitten and will make a great family member! Mindy is ~8 months old, spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in great health. She does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy. All she needs now is her forever home! Mindy would thrive if adopted with one of her foster siblings. She's never met a dog, but with slow introductions to a calm, cat-savvy pup, we think she could learn to love a new dog friend. Mindy’s foster mates: Mike (M), Matt (M), Mary (F) Priority will be given to applicants interested in adopting a pair of kittens or who have patient, playful resident cats or dogs at home. Information on why adopting two kittens together is best for their short- and long-term health and behavior can be found here: http://www.kittenlady.org/twokittens The adoption application can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Mindy is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, or locations along ther route. --- 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!

Story
Meet Victoria, the roly-poly, green-eyed snuggle queen with a heart of gold and a kissable face! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Victoria is one of a group of cats who were born at a local Houston bar (Drift Bar). They grew up around the hustle and bustle of bar-goers and love being around people. When the only home they’d ever known closed down this summer, the resident kitties were left alone to fend for themselves until some good Samaritans stepped in. Victoria was so friendly that, despite living outdoors her entire life, she immediately walked up to her finder and was picked up with no fuss, carried away to a brand new life of leisure! She’s settled into her indoor life exceptionally well. She may come across as timid at first, but once she gets to know you, Victoria is the epitome of a cute, snuggly, and friendly baby. When there is a loud noise or a new person, Victoria will trot off to a safe space where she can observe from afar until she feels comfortable. It’s hard to describe just how loving and sweet Victoria is. She is an expert at curling into a tight little ball and purring, waiting for cuddles and pets. She will flop over on her side, roll around, and do big stretches just to get closer. She doesn’t mind being picked up if she’s held securely and close to you. Victoria will be a perfect couch potato for anyone looking for a loving, calm companion. She is a gentle little soul and doesn’t have destructive or mischievous tendencies – her main “toxic trait” is overindulging on treats. Speaking of food, Victoria is the cat version of a “cheap date”! So far, she will only eat dry kibble and turns her nose up at any fancy wet food she’s offered. She has no interest in the Churu snacks her kitty friends love, but goes crazy for Friskies Party Mix. We try to spoil any cat that’s had a rough life on the streets with the best food available, but Victoria is a beer and hot dog kind of cat… No champagne and caviar for this girl next door! ___ Victoria's proportions are phenomenal. She has tiny legs, a small and doll-like face, and a roly-poly body. Earlier in life she likely had an ear infection which caused a permanent head tilt – it’s not uncomfortable for her and makes her even more adorable. She is peak feline perfection in a little donut body! Her coat is silky smooth, her purr is so sweet, and she just gazes up at you lovingly with her big, green eyes. You can always tell how appreciative she is for her second chance at life. ___ Victoria has lived her life as part of a cat colony and would do great if adopted with any of her foster siblings, or (with patience and proper introductions) an existing resident cat with a laid-back, docile personality. She would also thrive as an only cat in a home where she gets lots of love from her human family. Victoria has not met a dog during her time indoors. We would be happy to test her temperament with dogs prior to adoption for any serious applicants who have patient, cat-friendly, calm pups. Charlotte is ~2 years old, spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and microchipped. She does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy, all she needs now is her forever home. Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat The Drift Bar Kitties: Victoria, Harrison, Charlotte, Chloe, Sebastian (coming soon), and Genevieve (coming soon). Victoria is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along these routes. ___ ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: When you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you're doing more than giving your new family member a home. Each adoption fee pays for 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!

Story
Meet Gordo, a handsome little man who is dressed in his best tuxedo and looking for his forever home! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/ Gordo is part of our Lizzie McGuire litter, and is the only boy surrounded by 4 tortoiseshell sisters! I'm sure his sisters' "tortie-tude" helped make him the patient and sweet boy he is today. Gordo is extremely well-mannered and gentle. He loves to be around people and other kittens, but isn't the type to be pushy - he waits his turn for things patiently. The only thing that Gordo just can't be patient for is his daily Churu treat! He absolutely loves Churu and becomes very vocal when the packet comes out... It's adorable. Even as he mews his tiny little head off, he stays polite and stares up at you without scaling your body like a mountain. He gently holds his treat with both paws and is just the sweetest little thing. Gordo is affectionately nicknamed "Toofy" because of the tiny white line on the right hand side of his chin - it looks like a little tooth. Between that quirk, his mittens, magnificent whiskers, and bright green eyes, he is an absolute stunner! Gordo loves spending time with his foster siblings Elle Fanning, Sophie Turner, and Boogie - he would do great if adopted with one of them, or any other friendly kitten he could cause mischief with. Priority will be given to applicants interested in adopting a pair of kittens or who have patient, playful resident cats or dogs at home. Gordo has not met a dog before, but with slow and careful introductions to a well-behaved dog we think he would do great with a new pup sibling. He does have a gentle nature, so ideally any dogs in the home would be very sweet and calm :) Information on why adopting two kittens is better for their short- and long-term health can be found here: http://www.kittenlady.org/twokittens Adopt Gordo and maybe one of his adorable buddies, and double the love, double the purrs, and double the fun! --- Gordo is ~5 months old, microchipped, neutered, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. He is in excellent health and ready to bring a lot of love to his new home! The adoption application can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Gordo and his buddies are currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along this route. ——— ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: When you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you're doing more than giving your new family member a home.

Story
Bobby is truly a wonderful cat. He will greet you when you come home and is very curious about the things you do. He loves naps next to you and in the sunshine. He is affectionate, likes to cuddle at night, and enjoys listening to you sing or calming music. He is very vocal and playful, dashing for treats and batting his toys around. He is a true lap-cat in every sense. He is tidy, uses the litter box, and scratch pad, and does not spray. His grooming habits are healthy. Does not shed but we still brush him. He is fixed, chipped, vaccinated and dewormed. We do not know much of his past history; we found him abandoned and left to fend for himself. He has been in our foster care for 12 months and in need of his forever home. Bobby would be an excellent companion for a single person, or family household with children that will respect him, and can provide him a strict indoor living place without other cats. He has a big personality that will fill your home with joy, laughter, and warmth.
