Story

Meet Tulip, a beautiful girl with a heart as soft and gentle as her name. Tulip is FeLV+ (Feline Leukemia Virus positive). While those words may sound a little scary at first, being FeLV+ does not mean Tulip can’t have a wonderful, happy life. FeLV+ cats can live long, fulfilling lives with the right care, love, and attention. Tulip’s perfect home would be one where she can be the only cat, or share her life with other FeLV+ cats. And what does Tulip dream about? Nothing too complicated. A soft, fuzzy blanket to curl up on. A cozy cardboard box to call her own. And, most importantly, a person who will love her as much as she loves them. With her long, fluffy coat and incredibly affectionate personality, Tulip is the kind of cat who makes you want to slow down, snuggle in, and enjoy the little moments. She has so much love to give and is simply waiting for someone to see past her diagnosis and discover the sweet, wonderful cat underneath. Tulip doesn’t need a perfect home. She just needs her home — a safe place where she can be cherished, spoiled, and loved for exactly who she is.

Story

Timothy is a regal grey and white long haired neutered and vaccinated male. He is such a lover and can be shy at first but the love he gives after he feels comfortable is abundant. He will slow blink at you from afar and at dinner time will become extremely chatty as he impatiently waits for his wet food. He loves to play with toys, chase with the other cats and lounge in boxes and on the cat tree. Timothy was found with 21 other cats abandoned in plastic totes on the side of the road on Christmas Eve. He would do best with another cat in the house and someone who is patient with him.

Story

Don’t let his age or limited vision fool you — Prince has a heart full of love and a whole lot of affection to give! Prince is a sweet senior gentleman who may be partially blind, but he doesn’t let that slow him down. What he lacks in sight, he more than makes up for with his loving personality. Prince absolutely loves being held, giving kisses, and showing his affection with the sweetest little head butts. He’s the kind of cat who just wants to be close to his people. Give him a cozy spot in your arms, some gentle attention, and plenty of love, and Prince is one happy boy. Prince would also do well in a home with other cats, making him a wonderful companion for a family looking to add a gentle senior to their household. Senior cats like Prince have so much to offer. They know how to appreciate the simple things — a warm lap, a loving hand, a safe place to rest, and someone who will cherish them for all the years ahead. Prince may not see the world perfectly, but he has an incredible way of seeing straight into your heart.

Details

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Please contact Tonya Griffith (TMSGriffith@aol.com) for more information about this pet.POSTED ON 3/17/26, and the pictures were taken on 12/28/25. Joy was brought to a home in Poynor, TX to an older woman that we are helping. Joy was spayed on 12/8/24, estimated to have been born around July 2024. She was vaccinated, and was given dewormer medicine, and flea prevention. She has been kept inside the home. The older woman has a few other cats inside with her, so she needs to find a home for Joy. Declawing of any kittens or cats, is cruel, can traumatize the pet, and make the pet defenseless if the pet should get outside. We encourage people to search for kittens and cats that are already declawed that need to find a new home. $65 adoption fee.March 17, 2026, 4:34 pm
