Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in West University Place, Texas

Jake is a buff and white, wonderfully fluffy boy with a heart made for cuddling. Adopted as a kitten back in 2019 alongside his sister Jane, Jake had a loving home for years — until life took an unexpected turn. When their mom had to leave the country for work, Jake and Jane found themselves back at the shelter through no fault of their own, and now this pair is hoping for one more chance at forever. Jake is an affectionate cuddle bug through and through. He wants nothing more than to be near his people, snuggled up close. Jake adores receiving scritches, especially around his face. He meets new people easily and has shown great resilience through all the changes in his life, adapting with a calm, gentle spirit that makes him easy to love. Jake and Jane have spent their entire lives side by side, and after everything they’ve been through together, it would mean the world to find a home willing to keep them as a pair. If you have room in your heart (and home) for two devoted, gentle cats who just want their forever this time, Jake and Jane would love to meet you. 🐾

Meet Augustus, a fluffy black gentleman with the smallest, fluffiest little face and a heart that is somehow even bigger than his magnificent coat. Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat * Adoption fee (1.5+ years) is $315 * Augustus is on a prescription diet. * 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. --- Augustus is a fluffy black gentleman with the smallest, fluffiest little face and a heart that is somehow even bigger than his magnificent coat. Augustus knows what it’s like to struggle. Life outdoors was, without a doubt, the cruelest chapter of his story. But perhaps that’s also why he understands just how wonderful life can be now. These days, Augustus is always hovering a few steps above contentment, ready to stretch out his paws toward any human willing to give him even the tiniest bit of attention. And let us be clear: Augustus absolutely LOVES people. Give him a human companion and he is a happy boy. He would happily spend his days soaking up affection, lounging nearby, and enjoying the simple luxury of being safe, warm, and loved. He dreams of spending his golden years cuddling with his human—or, perhaps even better, sitting contentedly nearby while they go about their day. He doesn’t need constant excitement or adventure. He just wants to be part of someone’s life, where he can finally know that he is safe, cherished, and home. After everything Augustus has been through, he deserves nothing less than a soft place to land, a loving human to call his own, and a lifetime of belly rubs. If you’re looking for a fluffy little shadow with a huge heart, Augustus may be your guy. --- Augustus has been in a foster home with multiple other young and older kitties. He would do well going into a home with or without other pets. With the right family who will give him the love he needs. Augustus has never met a dog, but with slow introductions to a patient, cat-savvy dog we think he could learn to love a new pup sibling. Augustus is approximately 2.5 years old, neutered, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. He does a great job of keeping his litterbox tidy.. all he needs now is a forever home! The adoption application can be found here:

 Augustus is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along these routes.

Mini Churro is a calm, sweet kitten with the cutest curious eyes and a gentle personality. He does great with other cats and enjoys being around people (although he can be a little unsure around children) especially once he’s had a little time to get comfortable. He loves playtime and builds a strong bond through interactive toys and gentle attention. After he warms up, Mini Churro turns into the sweetest little cuddle bug. He loves curling up next to you on the sofa and will happily snuggle in your lap while you relax in your sofa. He’s also a big fan of wet food (which makes him extra easy to win over). He also likes Churu treats and any treat for that matter! If you’re looking for a kitten who is affectionate, calm, and full of love Mini Churro will be the perfect addition to your home.

HUGS WITH HER FLUFFY MITTS  DOB 12/3/19 Hey there, everyone! I'm Penelope, a beautiful, sweet, fluffy medium-haired girl with bright green eyes, a little mirth in my expression, and just enough sass to make sure you know I’m not just another ordinary beauty. I’m laid-back and independent, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love affection — or that I lack a purrsonality! I don’t necessarily need to be the center of attention. I’m perfectly happy doing my own thing and observing the world around me. But when you’re fabulously fluffy, attention tends to find its way to you anyway. I have quite a few opinions, and I’m not afraid to share them. I’ll let you know where you stand with me — sometimes vocally, sometimes by flopping over in all my fluffy glory, hoping to sucker you into giving me just a few more pets, please. I don’t mind being picked up and cuddled, either. When I’m in your arms, I’ll put my fluffy mitts on you and hold on for a hug.  I’m named after Penelope from The Odyssey — the woman who waited for Odysseus to come home to Ithaca after being away on his agonizingly long journey. And I understand waiting. I understand journeys. I was rescued near a bus stop — where journeys begin and end. I survived outdoors, despite having once known the comforts of being loved indoors. Now, I’m waiting for the part of my story where I finally get to go home. HOPE ID 26-0714-S015                       Penelope’s $125 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites. To apply online: http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site that Penelope will be this weekend, email us at sfenicle1@gmail.com, and a volunteer will get back to you.

PURRS LOUDLY AND OFTEN  DOB 7/26/26 Hey there, everyone! I’m Cupid, an affectionate, friendly, inquisitive, and cuddly Classic tabby Maine Coon/ domestic medium hair mix fella. I must admit I’m very handsome with my bold leg stripes against a taupe background as well as dark marble swirls on my sides. When I first see Foster Meowmy, I run to greet her in hopes that she’ll pick me up. I’m in hog heaven when she settles me in her lap so she can shower me with chin scratches and head massages. To communicate my delight at all of her attention, I often turn on my purr motor so loudly that she has to turn up the TV. I don’t play alone, but I love to engage interactively with Foster Meowmy when she waves the wand toy over my head or wiggles the ribbon stick like a snake around the room. It’s a special treat for me when I ride in my very own stroller! Foster Meowmy thinks I’m awesomely smart because I understand when she tells me “no.” When I was about seven weeks old, I was rescued in Foster Meowmy’s neighborhood as a hungry but friendly stray with no momma or siblings in sight. I was much too young to fend for myself in the hardscrabble life, so I was delighted when she brought me to the safe haven of her home. I get along great with the resident cats, who have taught the manners that my momma would’ve if she’d been around. I’m cautious about the resident dogs, however, because I don’t like their loud barking, and so I hide. Now I’m ready to cuddle as well as purr loudly and often with my forever family. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today. I promise that we’ll fall head over paws in love with each other the instant we meet! At least until I turn four months old, I need to be adopted with another kitten or into a home with another feline so we can be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation. HOPE ID 26-0912-A068 Cupid’ $125 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites.

LOVES TO BE PETTED!  DOB 3/14/26 Hey there, everyone! I’m Arthur, a very sweet, cuddly, and gentle “bicolor” Maine Coon mix fella, which means that I’m mostly white with large steel-gray patches on my head, saddleback, and tail. When I was about four months old, I wandered up to Foster Meowmy’s community cats' feeding station as an orphaned kitten with no momma or siblings in sight. Assuming that I’d refuse to socialize with hoomans, she trapped me and brought me to the safe haven of her home to recuperate from neuter surgery. Surprising, she found that I was friendly but timid, so Foster Mom knew that it would take time and patience for me to learn to trust her. With her gentle voice and affectionate touch, she showed me that I was securely loved, and --voila! -- now my sweet personality is shining through! As it ends up, I absolutely love to be petted, although it’s on my terms because I don’t like to be pursued and grasped to be "caught." I assimilated nicely with my foster siblings, especially Astro, as we tumble and pounce, climb and wrestle, and when we’re exhausted, we collapse in a puddle. In my more solitary moments, I like to bask in a patch of sunlight on the window ledge for a toasty snooze. Now I’m ready to snuggle in the laps of my forever family as they scratch my ears and massage my head to my heart’s content. Hopefully they will be patient enough, like Foster Meowmy, to allow me to warm up to them at my own pace until I feel completely comfy. Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU!
