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. Miss Nellie Mae is so beautiful! In a former life, Nellie M. was a model for a leading modeling agency, specializing in swimwear! Nellie M. is quiet and reserved. She loves to observe the world around her and respond when something piques her curiosity. Like her sister Roadie, her upbringing was rough, somewhere in Laredo. She has blossomed into a beautiful blue-eyed white girl who is friendly and purrs readily--Nellie Mae has become very sweet while in foster care. Miss Mae loves belly rubs and maintains her silk-like coat very well. Don't you think she would be a wonderful (and beautiful) addition to your family?

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. Nilla is a lot like his brother Cardamom except that he is a solid white boy with short hair. His start in life with just like Cardamom--humanless. But over time, he has developed into a regal personality who readily purrs on contact. Nilla will need an adoptive parent who can be patient with him while he acclimates to his new, furever home. Nilla keeps his white coat spotless and it is unusually soft! His blue eyes seem to pierce the soul of anyone who looks at him. Wouldn't Nilla be a beautiful addition to your home?

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. We're working on introducing him to our personal cats/dogs, but it's slow because our personal cats don't love new faces and our dogs are intense. He's curious about them and so far, I think he'd be good with ones that are calm and less reactive. He was good with the two kids(age 11+) he's met so far, though they had experience with cats already. He hasn't met very young kids or kids with no cat experience. He is litterbox trained and he's very playful. He's likely to be a little shy at first, but he's a pretty brave kitten and I don't think it will take long for him to open up to new people. He's not a cuddler and doesn't like to be held for long. He'd rather be sitting next to me just to hang out. He doesn't really hang out on my lap just cause, but he will often sleep on my lap when he's done playing. He plays with pretty much everything I've given him; balls, springs, soft toys, wands, tunnels, toilet paper rolls. He hates bell balls and will pretty much not touch them. His favorite toys are the springs and the tunnels. He's fairly food motivated, so I think being there when feeding her and offering him tasty snacks(we often use chicken, but he loves any meaty thing I have) will win him over pretty quickly. He loves to play and will tolerate being petted sometimes, but he doesn't like being held much. He chirps when he's happy or interested in something. He's less interested in finding things to get into himself, but he'll often follow his sister when she's getting into trouble. He was found in a bush on my porch. I'm pretty sure his mom had him in the one on the side of the house and then later moved them to the one by the porch.

Story
I came from the small town of Hondo. I was wandering the streets just before the cold winds hit the area. Now I am safe in a warm house, well fed and loved. There is nothing “chicken” about me, not sure why the folks in Hondo named me as such. In fact, I am bold enough to use someone else’s litter box and show him who’s boss! I enjoy chasing toys and being loved on. I look forward to meeting my furever family and when they get to know me better, change my name to something that truly defines the sweet yet fierce and bold kitty I am.
