Story
Luna is a very sweet girl who loves any cuddles and pets you give her. She spends most of her time indoors, she has the option to go outside but seems to prefer to be inside. She is just about 2 years old so she still has her occasional zoomies and likes to play. Very talkative as well. She will always let you know what’s going on. She to herself mostly, napping in the sun most of the day, and always greets me when I get home from work, like she’s waiting for me. I hate to have to find a new home for her but it would make me feel a little better to know that she went to someone who would love her as I did.

Story
Charlie is about seven years old. I rescued him from a shelter in Florida to be a playmate for my other cat Roxy. Charlie would be happiest if he’s able to go outside and play and come back in to sleep and to eat. He’s very loyal if you go for a walk, he will follow you. I have always said that I think there is a person reincarnated in Charlie and he’s very special.

Story
I rescued Roxy from a shelter in Florida. She had pneumonia. She was about eight weeks old, and the shelter was gonna let her pass away because it was too much work to get her on medication’s and take care of her. So I adopted her and took care of her. I absolutely love her. She is like a little old lady. She wants to lay on your lap curl up on your bed curl up on your couch if you have a heater, she wants to curl up next to your heater. She’s very sweet. She’s only vocal when she wants treats. I have to move so that I can have space for my son and unfortunately the pets cannot come

Story
Meet Misha!The adoption application can be found here:https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/CatMisha is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, or locations along their route.Misha's Story:Misha was found living in a colony with about 15 cats. Her ear was already notched so someone cared enough to fix her. But upon a closer look, Misha could barely open her mouth, she had severe mouth issues, her fur was missing and she was severely underweight. Her rescuers negotiated with the feeders to surrender Misha to them and after a long 30 days, they finally agree. And thereafter began Misha’s long journey to how you see her now. Her mouth and teeth were in such horrible condition, it took 3 months of tube-feeding and steroids to bring the inflammation down far enough to do dental work. It was a long process, but was all worth it when we see how good Misha looks now.She is playful, loves her toys — plays with it in spurts of energy. She still loves kitten kibble, but also loves her wet pates. She is fine with other cats, tries to make friends, but she is picky. She doesn’t like any cat up in her face and will let them know she likes her space. She loves to be petted and will come to you and ask for it. She is not a lap cat. She does not like being picked up too much, except to lead her to food.She loves scratching things, loves a good basket and bed to curl up in and will lounge all day long until she hears or sees you petting another cat — then she will emerge for affection. Misha will do great in a home with other cats, where you’re not looking for a clingy cat, but one that does seek your affection.Misha is spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in great health. She does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy. All she needs now is her forever home! She has never met a dog.---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!To learn more about our TNR (Trap / Neuter / Return) efforts, please follow us onInstagram @roses_rescues_htx

Story
Hi! My name is Stormy and I am available for adoption.I was brought to RASKC on April 13, 2026 with my seven nursing kittens! We all went to a wonderful foster home so I could continue to be a great mom. Now my kittens are grown so I am back at RASKC to look for my forever family :)My foster states that I am quite the affectionate and sweet gal, but I was very adamant at protecting my kittens from the resident dogs. I MAY be fine with dogs in the future with a very slow introduction.I like getting attention on my own terms. I can get overstimulated with petting, so please move carefully with me and keep an eye out for signs that I might need a break. I also give light love bites if you stop petting me too early. Due to these facts about me I would do best in a home without younger children.I am a spirited cat with a fun-loving personality! I may be sensitive to handling, so I would do best in a home with a cat savvy family who knows when to give me some space.I am currently in a foster home, please fill out a foster interest form for the chance to meet me :)
