Story
Meet Paisley, the teeny tiny girl with a BIG personality! QUICK NOTES * Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat * Paisley is a very social girl and needs to be adopted with a buddy or to a house with a playful and friendly resident kitty * We transport our babies from Houston, TX to the NE, PNW, and locations along those routes (adoption fee includes transport) * Adoption Fee (kitten < 6 mo) is $425 and includes all vetting and cost of transport --- Paisley may only be two months old, but she has never once gotten that memo! This short-haired dark grey tabby is instantly recognizable by her two most charming features: a sweet little heart-shaped orange spot on her neck and the most adorable white smudge on her nose. She is, in a word, special. Paisley is always on the move, always making friends, and always the first to say hello to a new face (feline or human). She is smart, bold, and utterly unstoppable. She loves to play, will follow a Churu treat packet to the ends of the earth, and genuinely thrives with feline companionship. She’d do best in a home with at least one or two other cats to keep up with her big energy and even bigger heart. This little girl loves her "siblings" Puck and Piper (the little kitten family that adopter her as their own), and also does great with her foster buddy Gigi. Sometimes she is still a little shy at first with new people, but will warm up quickly once she knows she can trust you! This little girl is one of a kind. If you’re lucky enough to adopt Paisley, she will absolutely run your household - and you’ll love every second of it. Foster siblings: Puck (F), Piper (F), Gigi (F) --- 🐾 Health & Care: • FVRCP & rabies vaccinated • Spayed and microchipped • Current on dewormer & flea prevention Fostered in Houston, TX: transport available to the Pacific Northwest, the Northeast, and stops along the route. Transport costs are covered by the adoption fee. Your adoption fee saves two lives: it brings Paisley home AND funds spay/neuter surgeries, vaccines, and critical veterinary care for homeless cats and community cats in need. One fee. Two lives saved.

Story
Meet Georgia — A Gentle Soul The adoption application can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Georgia is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along these routes. Georgia’s story began outside, where she lived as a feral kitten with her brother. They were brought inside so they could have a safer life indoors. Over the past four years, Georgia has blossomed in the most beautiful way — from a scared outdoor kitty into an incredibly sweet, snuggly companion who loves gentle affection and quiet connection. Georgia is a very shy and sensitive girl, and she will need a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. In a new environment, she will likely hide at first and move slowly while adjusting. But with consistency, calm energy, and kindness, she forms deep bonds with her person. Georgia would be best as an only cat. Georgia is special needs with her diagnosis of IBS. She will require a special diet, including fiber supplements. Once she feels safe, Georgia becomes a true cuddle bug. She especially loves sleeping next to or with her human, soaking up quiet companionship and gentle scratches. If you have a peaceful home and a patient heart, Georgia may be the perfect match for you. Georgia is spayed, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, and in great health! She does a great job of keeping her litter box tidy! All she needs now is his forever home! --- ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: Our adoption fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and transportation costs. Also, when you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you’re doing more than giving your new family member a home. Each adoption fee sponsors 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!

Meet Jill! ! The most adorable soft and pink featured angel, ready to soften your heart if you make her yours! The adoption application can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat * Adoption fee (Less than 6 months) is $425 * 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. --- Jill is a 4-month-old little sweetheart with the gentlest face and the most tender personality. With her tiny features, sweet kitten expressions, and perfectly pink little nose, she has a way of making you stop and smile every time you look at her. One of Jill’s favorite places in the world is a big, fluffy bed—so fluffy, in fact, that she sometimes disappears right into it! When she isn’t cozied up and lounging, you’ll find her playing with her brother, Jack, and her kitten friend, Biscotti. Jill also loves basking in the sunshine on a window bed, peacefully watching the world go by. It’s almost as if she’s forgotten about her days outdoors and is discovering just how wonderful it is to be safe, warm, and loved. But Jill has so much more to look forward to. She’s ready for a family and a home where she can run, play, explore, and fill someone’s life with all the sweetness she has to offer. Whether her new friends have two legs or four, Jill is ready to be part of a family. She’s gentle, loving, playful, and wonderfully easy to adore. Jill will make a perfect companion—and she’s patiently waiting for the people who will show her what forever feels like. --- Jill has been in a foster home with 2 other kittens and a couple older cats. She would do well going into a home with other cats or kittens. With the right family who will give her the love she needs. Jill hasn't been around dogs, but with slow introductions to a patient, cat-savvy dog, we think she could learn to love a new pup sibling. Jill is approximately 4 months old, spayed, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. She is a true sweetie pie and does a great job of keeping her litter box tidy.. all she needs now is a forever home! You can receive a discount when adopting two kitties with ROSES.
