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!

New intake alert!!! Meet Howl Jenkins Pendragon -- this lovable little gentleman is looking for his forever home!! He's also in need of a good nickname so his bio fits within the allowed space on adoption sites ;) Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Howl and his Studio Ghibli foster siblings (Totoro and Susuwatari, also adoptable!) are an adorable trio who were rescued from a trap-neuter-return event before they could be released back into the wild. We just knew they HAD to be indoor kitties, and they are loving it They have adjusted very quickly to the good life indoors and are ready for a home of their own! The Studio Ghibli kittens are new to our foster program and we are still getting to know their personalities, but so far we're in love. We will update their bios soon with even more info! Howl is a cute little guy who just wants to be your new best friend. He and his siblings immediately start begging to be held and pet when their foster mom walks in the room, and are just the sweetest little babies you could ask for! Howl is an expert biscuit-maker and extremely playful. He loves having all kinds of toys around him after a tough start to life on the streets :) He is a loving little guy who wants to cuddle and play and then cuddle some more! These boys love to explore, wrestle, climb, and cuddle up together. They are a constant source of entertainment and will bring a smile to their new family’s faces! Howl is ~4 months old, in great health, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. He does a great job of keeping his litter box tidy. All he needs now is his forever home! Priority will be given to applicants interested in adopting a pair of kittens or who have patient, playful resident cats or dogs at home. He's never met a dog, but with slow introductions to a calm, cat-savvy pup, we think he could learn to love a new dog friend. Adopt Howl Jenkins Pendragon and maybe one (or two!) of his adorable siblings, and double the love, double the purrs, and double the fun.

Meet Georgia, your new best friend!!! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Georgia and her sister Ginny (also adoptable) are two peas in a pod!! Georgia is a play machine, and loves to wrestle and chase her toys. After a good zoomie, she loves to settle down for a good nap and a snuggle. Ginny is the braver of the two gals, and helps her sister Georgia feel safe when she is scared. They are a dynamic duo who are ready to find their forever home! Ginny and Georgia were trapped from a cat colony, very weak and sick from a life on the street. They have been nursed back to health and are getting bigger and stronger every day!! They had a traumatic start to life, but are they learning to feel safe and secure. These girls will need a forever family that lets them warm up at their own pace. All they need now is you to give them the love and attention they deserve!! The two kitties aren't bonded and would be fine if adopted separately, however. Ginny and Georgia are ~8 months old, spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in great health. They do a great job of keeping their litter box tidy. All they need now is a forever home! They 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 may be overwhelmed with rambunctious toddlers or young kids, but would be fine with an older or cat-savvy kiddo. Priority will be given to applicants interested in adopting a pair of kittens or who have patient, playful resident cats or dogs at home. Adopt Ginny and Georgia, and double the love, double the purrs, and double the fun! --- The adoption application can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Ginny and Georgia 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.

Meet our diluted calico lovebug, Mavis! Apply to adopt Mavis here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Mavis is a gorgeous diluted calico that is pure of heart. She is incredibly affectionate and lives for cuddles, pets, and being close to her people. If your looking for a cat who just wants love (and gives it right back), she's your girl. She is looking for a loving home to spend her golden years! Mavis enjoys quiet moments, cozy naps in sunny spots, and being near her favorite humans. She’s litter box trained, has excellent manners, and would thrive in a home looking for a loyal, easygoing companion. She does great with dogs. With the right introductions, she could settle nicely into a home with friendly pets—or she’d be equally content soaking up all the love as your one-and-only.

She has experience living with both cats and dogs and does well with a calm, predictable environment. Buttercup is comfortable using both a robotic litter box and a traditional litter box. She enjoys a quiet life, and it’s especially rewarding when she chooses to approach you with a lifted tail, asking for affection on her own terms. Buttercup will thrive with someone who appreciates her soft, thoughtful way of showing love. She is FeLV/FIV tested, spayed, rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on dewormer and flea prevention.
