This trio of tiny holiday sweethearts is sure to warm your heart (and maybe your lap!). Figgy is curious and adventurous, always the first to explore new nooks. Tapioca is soft, snuggly, and loves to curl up for cozy naps. Plum is playful and silly, turning every toy into a festive game. Together, these kittens are a delightful mix of charm, mischief, and sweetness—like little Christmas puddings in fur form! They can’t wait to find homes filled with love, warmth, and maybe a little extra holiday cheer. Plum has a $125 adoption fee.

Story
I have had my cat Ebony for four years she got out and had a litter of four. They were born September 10th 2025. There were three boys a one girl. She was the rent and the boys always pushed her out of the way during nursing time. She was always crying because she was hunger so I fed her baby formula with a little bottle until she got bigger and stronger. I found home for all the boys. She is litter trained and she knows what NO means. She comes with a litter box dishes food and litter to get you started. She is a sweetheart that loves to snuggle all day long. She would make a perfect pet she is very smart just like her mother. She even watches TV already. She likes to play but doesn't destroy the place like the boys did. I'm moving on the 8th to an apartment without steps because I'm having a spinal surgery on January 15th. I can't only keep Ebony because she is my ESA. It is hard enough for me to keep up with her litter and feedings because I can't walk or touch the ground right now.

Story
Grey Poupon is a dignified gray-and-white cat with the softest fur imaginable—the kind you can’t stop petting once you start. Equal parts classy and cozy, he moves through life with quiet confidence, gentle curiosity, and a talent for looking elegant while doing absolutely nothing. A true connoisseur of naps, sunny spots, and affection, Grey Poupon proves that luxury can, in fact, purr. This boy came to us a very friendly stray, and give gentle but sweet headbutts. He has a $125 option fee.🐾✨ All cats adopted through our rescue are age appropriately vaccinated including rabies & FVRCP/Feline Leukemia vaccines, dewormed & free of fleas, combo tested (negative unless otherwise noted), microchipped and spayed/neutered before adoptions are finalized.

Story
Miriam is a gentle, quiet sweetheart with a serious soft spot for face rubs and neck and skin scratches - she'll happily melt right into your hands! She loves having her favorite human nearby, watching you like your tiny fluffy supervisor, and catching cozy cat naps from her throne (aka her cat tree). Don't think she's all business, though - a fuzzy mouse toy is a fun distraction between naps!

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. Meet Belen! 🐾💕 Belen is a sweet little girl bursting with energy and curiosity. She loves to run around, play, and keep herself entertained with kitten antics. While she’s on the shy side, she will accept your hugs and kisses—sometimes you just have to lovingly insist 😄. Once she’s in your arms, she tolerates the affection and is learning that love isn’t such a bad thing after all. Belen came from a litter of stray kittens, and by the time she was rescued, she was the only one left. Because of her start in life, she can be a bit reserved and will do best with a patient adopter who can give her one-on-one attention and help her feel safe and confident in her new home. With time, consistency, and gentle love, Belen will blossom into a wonderful companion. If you’re looking for a playful kitten who just needs a little extra reassurance and heart, Belen might be your perfect match. 💖🐱
