Story
Meet Dorian, a charming 3-month-old tabby kitten with a heart as soft as his fur. This sweet boy is the perfect mix of cuddly and playful, he loves to curl up in your lap just as much as he enjoys chasing toys and exploring his surroundings. Dorian is being raised alongside his three siblings, so he’s well-socialized and thrives in the company of other cats. He would do wonderfully in a home with a feline friend or as part of a lively household where he can continue to grow and play. With his affectionate nature and fun-loving spirit, Dorian is sure to bring warmth, laughter, and lots of purrs into his forever home. PLEASE READ THIS TO ADOPT: ***ALL ANIMALS ARE CURRENTLY IN LONG BEACH, MISSISSIPPI.*** We transport adopted animals every 2-3 weeks to Northeast states.  Completed applications take precedence over inquiries. If you are interested in adopting, the FIRST step is to complete an application.

Story
Meet Bea, gorgeous silver tabby! Bea is polydactyl on each foot making her even more adorable when making biscuits. She will hold paws and sometimes gives kisses while grooming herself on your lap. She adores her sister Rue and finds security in her. Bea might be a little shy at first but once she gets settled you will often find her crawling into your lap. She is adventurous and loves to climb. She enjoys playing with ALL the toys, and can't get enough of the automatic bird flyer with Rue. Bea is an absolute sweetheart and usually comes running when you call her. She's very curious and enjoys looking out the window and watching the world go by. She is unbelievably soft and will even let you touch her little belly. Bea and Rue are a one-year-old bonded pair. They are the sweetest, most affectionate girls a person could want. They both love to make biscuits on soft beds and blankets. Bea is an expert bunter and both are cuddle bugs. If you want to meet Bea and Rue, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.

Story
Meet Rue, a gorgeous silver tabby! Rue is about one year old and has a little extra weight for her age; she's getting in shape from lots of active play and automatic toy engagement. Once she trusts you, Rue will jump in your lap for snuggles. She appreciates soft touch, especially around her head and chin- this will guarantee maximum purrs! She's pretty polite about only scratching and stretching on the designated scratch posts. She's good with other cats and loves her sister Bea. They often cuddle up together or groom each other. She prefers her human companion's bed and usually tucks herself in at night around you. She's so incredibly soft and has such pretty amber eyes. She is curious and confident and sweet- an absolute gem! Bea and Rue (a bonded pair) went into the care of Queen City Cats after their family lost their housing. Withstanding that traumatic event, they are the nicest, most affectionate girls a pet owner could want. Rue is an expert greeter and both girls are all-around cuddle bugs. If you're interested in meeting Rue and Bea, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.com.

Story
Glorious elegance, quiet confidence, and just a touch of magic… this is Jareth, he is no Goblin King but somehow the name perfectly fits. See for yourself but do come back to read more! https://youtu.be/80G1F86eVm4 Jareth is estimated to be around 4 years old, weighs 15 lbs, and appears to be a Norwegian Forest Cat mix. As always with rescue, breed and age are our best guess, but his regal presence? That part is unmistakable. He has that composed energy that makes you feel like you are lucky to be in his company. You know you are sharing your home with a truly special being… but don’t worry, he doesn't expect the royal treatment- he is the kind of cat who doesn’t demand attention, but somehow always has it. He’s currently fostered in a loving home where he’s proven to be wonderfully easy company. Jareth is fully litter box trained (and refreshingly tidy about it), and his foster loves that he is a wonderful balance of independent and affectionate. His affection feels natural and he will meet you more than half-way when it comes to pets. In other words, your hand will be reaching and somehow he is already there. He’s not going to insist on constant snuggles or push into your space, but he is more than happy to lean in for pets and attention. His foster shared, “Wherever I sit, he comes and sits next to me.” It’s that steady, companionable kind of love that makes a house feel calm and complete. Jareth also has a playful side tucked beneath that royal exterior. Bring out a laser pointer and you’ll see it instantly… he’s engaged, curious, and ready to chase with enthusiasm. Like many cats, he’ll let you know if play gets a little too rough, but he communicates clearly and fairly. Give him that respect, and you’ll have a happy, balanced companion. If you’re looking for a cat who brings beauty, presence, and a quietly devoted kind of companionship… Jareth is ready to take his place at your side. Apply today and let this regal boy make his way into your world and your heart. 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 8 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.*

Meet Chewy-Your Ultimate Cuddle Companion! The adoption application can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Chewy is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, or locations along their route. If you're looking for a cat whose entire world revolves around love and affection, Chewy is your guy. This sweat boy is the definition of a cuddle bug-he lives for attention and will happily soak up every pet, snuggle, and cozy moment you're willing to give. Chewy absolutely adores his people and forms strong, loving bonds. Whether you're relaxing on the couch or winding down for the night, he'll be right there, ready to curl up and keep you company. He also enjoys the companionship of other cats and would thrive in a home with feline friends to snuggle up with. While he's not exactly best buddies with the dog in his foster home, Chewy is respectful and willing to share space peacefully. With proper introductions and a calm environment, he can coexist just fine. Chewy is neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in great health. He does a great job of keeping his litterbox tidy. All he needs now is his forever home! He is a huge lap cat. Priority will be given to applicants interested in adopting a pair of kittens or who have patient, playful resident cats or dogs at home. Information on why adopting two kittens together is best for their short- and long-term health and behavior can be found here: http://www.kittenlady.org/twokittens --- 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.
