Story
Pumpkin is a precious little bundle of curiosity, playful energy, and irresistible kitten charm! With his handsome grey and white tabby coat, adorable little face, and sweet personality, this tiny explorer has a special way of stealing hearts. Tiny paws, big curiosity, and a whole lot of kitten charm! Watch Pumpkin’s YouTube video to see his playful little adventures and discover the adorable personality behind those precious tabby eyes! https://youtu.be/p1HKpVfvQIs Pumpkin has a gentle, bashful side when meeting new people, but give him just a few minutes and his playful personality begins to shine! Once he feels comfortable, his curiosity takes over, and he is off discovering new corners, investigating interesting toys, and turning everyday surroundings into his own little playground. This sweet boy loves to explore, play, and enjoy all the exciting adventures that come with being a kitten. Whether he is chasing after a toy, practicing his adorable kitten pounces, or finding something new to investigate, Pumpkin makes even the simplest moments entertaining. Pumpkin would love a home filled with patience, affection, and plenty of opportunities to play and explore. With a little time to settle in, this charming little guy is sure to blossom into a wonderful companion who brings endless smiles, laughter, and kitten-sized adventures to his forever family. If you're looking for a sweet little explorer with a playful spirit and a heart full of love, Pumpkin might just be your perfect little pick! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6ace53503dc87171990e6ffa Questions?

Why adopt from Three Little Pitties? The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is the highest in the nation. Statistics show that there are over 1 million homeless animals in this region alone. Three Little Pitties Rescue is a nonprofit dog and cat rescue that partners with the community to make a difference. Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and saving all breeds of dogs and cats from the streets or animal shelters that oftentimes have no other option but to euthanize animals for space. This kitty you’ve found online is lucky to be in our program, and even luckier to have you notice it! Three Little Pitties Rescue (3LP) wants to set you and your new family member up for success! In addition to a fully vetted furbaby you also receive other additional perks such as a code for a free bag of cat litter AND a code for 50% off a 2nd bag of litter from Catalyst Pet, coupons for a fun visit to Petco, and support through our Facebook Adopters group where you can connect with thousands of other adopters, 3LP volunteers, fosters and staff. We seek to adopt to families who understand that these are rescues and will require continued efforts but are well on their way to being the best kitties that they can be! We ask that you give them time (can take weeks to months) to decompress in their new home, do slow introductions to other pets and let their true personalities have a chance to come through. We celebrated our 7 year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 16,000 very lucky dogs and cats into amazing homes! By adopting from us, you save TWO lives! The pet you adopt, and you create an opportunity for another animal to be saved in that spot. Together, we can be heroes. Follow our rescue journey through the links below! https://www.facebook.com/ThreeLittlePittiesRescueSavingKitties/ https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue/ https://www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue/ *Due to the rising cost of fuel and transportation expenses, there will be an additional $87 surcharge for transport. DISCLAIMER- Breed type is determined based on general appearance and behavioral characteristics, and cannot be guaranteed unless DNA test results were provided at intake.*
