Story
Meet Little Mikey, a loving and sweet cuddle bug ready to complete your family! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Mikey and his littermates (Joselito, Patti, and Jasmine) were found stranded at a local gym. After being rescued at just a few weeks old, they are now safe and sound and living the indoor "gym life"! Mikey is ready to be your new best friend. He loves to play and is an expert at running on the cat wheel and chasing toys around the house. He's a constant source of entertainment! Little Mikey is the definition of a Curious Kitten... He wants to know everything you're doing and LOVES to try and help. He just adores being in the middle of the action and hanging out with his favorite humans, no matter what the activity is! This cutie pie is a huge fan of snuggle time as well. He loves curling up on your lap and taking a nap. Mikey Moo is a special guy with a big heart and so much love to give. He is more than ready to meet his perfect match -- could it be you?! Mikey and his siblings (Joselito, Patti, and Jasmine) are ~5 months old, spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in great health. They do a great job of keeping their litterbox tidy. All they need now is a forever home! The Gym Kitties have never met a dog, but with slow introductions to a calm, cat-savvy pup, we think they could learn to love a new dog friend. They are so excited they get to live the inside cat life!! The adoption application can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Mikey, Joselito, Patti, and Jasmine are 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 Bacon, a sassy little flirt who is looking for her forever home! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/ Bacon was found on the streets by a Good Samaritan, and it was obvious she wasn't born outdoors. Bacon was immediately friendly, snuggly, and craving human attention, so we think she was purchased and later dumped. Lucky for Bacon, this means she has a chance at an even better life! Little Bacon is hilarious. She is the embodiment of the word "kitten". She's playful and fun, loves jumping and climbing and playing with toys. She also has the ideal kitten attitude, and goes into every situation with full confidence... When she gets overwhelmed though, she comes running back to her foster mom! Bacon is a fluffy squishy mess of kitty. She will make an amazing buddy for a family looking for a cat with a strong and hilarious personality. Her furry ears and the smudge on her pink nose make her absolutely irresistible. Apparently Bacon was picked on a bit by the colony cats after she was dumped, so she is still learning that when her foster kitten siblings wrestle with her, it's just for fun and not scary. I can't even write a super long bio about Bacon because there are only so many ways to say she is perfect. Set up a video call to meet her today and I guarantee you'll agree! ___ Bacon thrives with kitty companionship once she feels comfortable. She does tiny little "baps" with her paws when she is overwhelmed during play time, but then gets right back in on the action. Bacon has never met a dog, and might be a little scared by a larger, rambunctious pup. With proper introductions, she would likely do great with an existing resident cat or a calm, cat-savvy dog. Or, she would be thrilled if adopted with one of her new foster buddies! Bacon is ~3.5 months 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 Bacon 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.

Story
Binx is a 8-month-old sweetheart with a soft spirit and a gentle heart. While he may be a little shy at first, once he feels safe and comfortable, his sweet personality starts to shine. He loves quiet moments, gentle playtime, and the comfort of a cozy blanket or a sunny window. Binx has a thoughtful, observant nature—he prefers to take things in before jumping into the action. With a patient adopter and a calm environment, he’ll blossom into a loving, loyal companion. He enjoys the company of other cats and would do best in a home with a friendly feline to help him feel secure and confident. He’s litter box trained, well-mannered, and ready to find a family who understands that the sweetest bonds are the ones built on trust and time. Location & Transport Binx is currently in Houston, Texas, but can be transported to the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, Colorado, or cities along the route.
