Kittens and cats in Houston, Texas

Meet Jenga – my “class clown” sweet little lady who is finally ready for her forever home! TOO LONG, DIDN’T READ - SUMMARY: * Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat * Our rescue is located in Houston, TX, and we transport our babies to wonderful adopters in the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, and Colorado (on occasion). Transport cost is included in the adoption fee. * Jenga will be shy at first in her new home and needs an adopter who will be patient with her while she adjusts. * Adoption fee (adult 1.5+ years) is $315 I had the pleasure of finding and raising Miss Jenga for the last year and a half, helping her go from a scared little kitten to a confident and beautiful cat. And BOY is she beautiful — a chunky little Tabico / Calico with cheek smudges who always looks like she’s smiling! Perfection! For the first year we were together, Jenga had no interest in being my friend. Don’t get me wrong, she was loving her life indoors… I caught her on camera every day bouncing around with her foster kitten buddies and chowing down on all the food she could possibly want. She just wasn’t ready to trust humans, and with that cute little face, I didn’t mind waiting around for her ;) About a year into our time together, Jenga finally made notable progress. She started getting excited to see me when I walked in the room! She darted up to a high shelf where she felt safe, stretched, rolled around, and even accepted some pets from me in exchange for treats. Since that day, Jenga has continued to become a confident, sweet, and friendly little kitty. She is without a doubt the queen of the foster cats, and they all follow her lead. She has also become a bit of a class clown!! She is shamelessly in love with Churu treats and will tap on my hand until she gets one (I put that video in her adoption profile - it’s pretty cute). She loves hanging out on her window perch, leaning over and staring down at me with her arms hanging over the side like a cute little dork. She also demands pets as soon as I walk in the room. It was bittersweet to realize that Jenga was finally ready for adoption because I love her to pieces. But after all her hard work learning to trust, Jenga deserves a family of her own who can give her all the love and attention she could ever want… not my loving foster home where she has to share that attention with 10 other kitties. I can’t wait to find her perfect family! If (and only if) you are considering opening your home to two cats, Jenga has a best friend named Aspen (a petite orange gal) who needs an understanding adopter willing to help bring her out of her shell. Adopting Aspen is NOT a condition for adopting Jenga, because Jenga deserves her happily ever after regardless. Just worth mentioning :) — Jenga has lived with multiple cats her whole life and would do very well if adopted with a buddy or into a home with a friendly resident cat. She has never met a dog before, but with proper introductions she may do well with a very calm and cat-savvy dog. Her ideal home would be a relatively calm environment with no children (or older / respectful children who understand the importance of giving a kitty her space.) She will thrive with experienced cat owners who will be patient while she gets used to her new surroundings. Once she does, she will return that love and patience tenfold! Jenga is approximately 2 years old, spayed, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. She does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy.

Meet Almond — a quiet beauty with a gentle soul 🤎 TOO LONG, DIDN’T READ - SUMMARY: * Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat * Our rescue is located in Houston, TX, and we transport our babies to wonderful adopters in the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, and stops along the way. Transport cost is included in the adoption fee. * Adoption fee (adult 1.5+ years) is $315 --- Almond has spent much of her life so far outdoors, finding her way through the world near a hotel before a kind rescuer gave her the chance at something more. Despite her past, she carries a soft, tender spirit that shines through in everything she does. Almond is a striking lady!! Her adorably round body is peak physical perfection, and she is the most adorable little "Cinnabon" swirls that look like they were painted on. She’s petite overall with short little legs and dainty features, but paired with the sweetest round belly that gives her an endearing, slightly wobbly walk as she does her Important Cat Things. This sweet little gal loves cuddling in her fluffy bed where she can disappear into the softness. She adores being warm and cozy now that she's experienced the good life. During exceptionally good naps you’ll only catch a glimpse of her: a tiny face peeking out or a single paw stretching from the bed fluff. Nowadays Almond is never really alone. She has a quiet, nurturing presence that draws other cats and kittens to her, and she has been a mother figure to many of the kittens in her foster home. You’ll often find them gathered around her, exchanging gentle headbutts and soft little “kisses,” a constant display of affection and trust. They love to make biscuits on her tummy and will tuck in next to her any chance they get! Almond herself is gentle, sensitive, and a bit reserved at first. She takes her time learning to trust, but with patience and kindness, she blossoms into something truly special. The kind of presence that doesn’t demand attention, but becomes the reason you smile every single day. She’s looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe, be herself, and continue sharing her quiet kind of love. --- Almond gets along perfectly with other cats and would do well if adopted with a friend or to a home with a friendly resident kitty. She has never met a dog, but with slow introductions to a patient, cat-savvy dog we think she could learn to love a new pup sibling. Her ideal situation is a calm and loving home where she can feel safe, be herself, and continue sharing her love with a family who will be hers forever. Almond is approximately 2.5-3 years old, spayed, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. She does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy.. all she needs now is a home! The adoption application can be found here:

Meet Josephine and Emma - a truly extraordinary bonded pair of kitties 💛 TOO LONG, DIDN’T READ - SUMMARY: * Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat * Our rescue is located in Houston, TX, and we transport our babies to wonderful adopters in the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, and Colorado (on occasion). Transport cost is included in the adoption fee. * Josephine (FeLV+) is bonded with her daughter Emma, who has tested negative multiple times for FeLV. * Adoption fee for Emma and Josephine together is $500 (which includes a discount for adopting both of these amazing cats.) --- We don't usually write a biography for two cats at once, but this sweet mother/daughter duo share everything, and you really can't get to know one of them without the other! Josephine, the devoted mother, and Emma, her daughter, share a bond based on survival and love. The duo came from a rough situation where survival wasn’t guaranteed, yet somehow, they made their way through... and held on tight to each other. Since then, they’ve been inseparable, forming a bond that is as rare as it is beautiful. Josephine and Emma aren’t just cats who get along. They’re a family, a team, and a reminder of resilience and love. They'll be a beautiful addition to a loving forever family. --- Josephine is the heart of the duo: bubbly, gentle, and full of quiet kindness. She has an innocent sweetness about her, and a protective, nurturing instinct when it comes to Emma. She’s a loving presence who seems to understand just how special their connection is. Emma, her daughter, brings a different kind of charm. She’s a bit more cautious at first, observing the world with her wide, expressive eyes that make her look forever kitten-like. But in a flash, that soft gaze can turn into a mischievous, almost “tiny troublemaker” look that gives her a playful edge. It’s part of what makes her so endearing. Together, they do everything side by side: sleeping in little tangled bundles, grooming each other, playing, basking in the sun, or simply sitting close, as if that alone is enough. Their relationship isn’t just companionship; it’s a deep, comforting partnership that you can feel just by being around them. These two gals also adore their foster family and are always in the middle of the action! They love pets and snuggles, and bring a calm energy to any room. They are so loving and adorable -- they are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face! Josephine and Emma are looking for a home where they can stay together... just as they’ve always been. --- Emma and Josephine have been around cats in their foster home and they do very well in that environment! They would both be great in a home with another resident cat, but please consult your veterinarian on vaccines and recommendations due to Josephine's FeLV+ status. Emma is ~1 year old and Josephine is ~2 years old. They are both spayed, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. The adoption application can be found here:
