Meet Goose! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Goose and his Top Gun siblings (Maverick and Rooster) are an adorable trio of tuxedo boys found under a bush in Houston. They were rescued and are safe and sound now -- they have adjusted very quickly to the good life indoors and are ready for a home of their own! The Top Gun kittens are new to our foster program and we are still getting to know their personalities. We will update their bios soon with even more info! Goose started out as a spicy kitten but he is learning quickly that snuggles, treats, and love are pretty awesome. He is no longer spicy but tends to be a little bit more shy than his brothers. Every day he gets a little more brave and it’s been such a transformation already. These boys love to explore, wrestle, climb up their cat trees, and cuddle up together. They are a constant source of entertainment and will bring a smile to their new family’s faces! Goose is ~3 months old, in great health, and will be neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. He does a great job of keeping his litterbox tidy. All he needs now is his forever home! Priority will be given to applicants interested in adopting a pair of kittens or who have patient, playful resident cats or dogs at home. He's never met a dog, but with slow introductions to a calm, cat-savvy pup, we think he could learn to love a new dog friend. Adopt Goose and maybe one (or two!) of his adorable siblings, and double the love, double the purrs, and double the fun! Information on why adopting two kittens is better for their short- and long-term health can be found here: http://www.kittenlady.org/twokittens --- The adoption application can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Maverick, Goose, and Rooster are currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along these routes. ——— ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: When you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you're doing more than giving your new family member a home. Each adoption fee pays for 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!

They were rescued and are safe and sound now -- they have adjusted very quickly to the good life indoors and are ready for a home of their own! The Top Gun kittens are new to our foster program and we are still getting to know their personalities. We will update their bios soon with even more info! Just like his movie star namesake, Maverick is definitely the leader of his “pack”. He is completely fearless and loves hanging out with new people and his kitty siblings. Maverick is also a very photogenic little guy, and leaves his tongue out often for a perfect Blep photo! He is the epitome of a lovable kitten — you’ll often find him in his cat tree, chasing toys, or wrestling with his brothers. When he’s done doing kitten things, he loves curling up in a warm lap and taking a nap. These boys love to explore, wrestle, climb up their cat trees, and cuddle up together. They are a constant source of entertainment and will bring a smile to their new family’s faces! Maverick is ~3 months old, in great health, and will be neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. He does a great job of keeping his litterbox tidy.

They were rescued and are safe and sound now -- they have adjusted very quickly to the good life indoors and are ready for a home of their own! The Top Gun kittens are new to our foster program and we are still getting to know their personalities. We will update their bios soon with even more info! Rooster is the smallest of the bunch, with tiny little white mittens and soulful eyes. He loves to be held, and is quite the explorer. He’s always the first to check out a new toy, something shiny, or explore a new and exciting area of his foster home. He’s also a very talented cat tree climber and a professional snuggler. These boys love to explore, wrestle, climb up their cat trees, and cuddle up together. They are a constant source of entertainment and will bring a smile to their new family’s faces!

Story
This pint-sized void kitten is Ebony, a little girl who just wants to be pet and loved. And with that face... who wouldn't oblige?! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/ Ebony was found by a Good Samaritan hiding under a car all alone. It was obvious that she was familiar with humans, and once she was brought inside she immediately warmed up to her foster family. Ebony is hilarious - she is teeny tiny but has the confidence of a giant Tomcat. She is chatty and will let you know if she hasn't gotten enough love or wants to play. She also jumps up into your hand for "self-pets", which is adorable. This girl is hilarious, fearless, fluffy, and ready to be a part of her very own loving family. If you're looking for a daily and sweet family member who will also make you laugh... This is the girl for you. Meet Ebony today!! ----- Priority will be given to applicants interested in adopting a pair of kittens (discount given for adopting 2!) or who have patient, playful resident cats or dogs at home. Ebony has not met a dog before, but with slow and careful introductions to a well-behaved dog we think she would do great with a new pup sibling! Ebony has become very close with some of her foster siblings and would do great if adopted with any of them. She especially loves her kitten friend Mike and her older brother Boogie. Her friendly demeanor makes her willing to make new friends as well

Story
Meet Bacon, a sassy little flirt who is looking for her forever home! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/ Bacon was found on the streets by a Good Samaritan, and it was obvious she wasn't born outdoors. Bacon was immediately friendly, snuggly, and craving human attention, so we think she was purchased and later dumped. Lucky for Bacon, this means she has a chance at an even better life! Little Bacon is hilarious. She is the embodiment of the word "kitten". She's playful and fun, loves jumping and climbing and playing with toys. She also has the ideal kitten attitude, and goes into every situation with full confidence... When she gets overwhelmed though, she comes running back to her foster mom! Bacon is a fluffy squishy mess of kitty. She will make an amazing buddy for a family looking for a cat with a strong and hilarious personality. Her furry ears and the smudge on her pink nose make her absolutely irresistible. Apparently Bacon was picked on a bit by the colony cats after she was dumped, so she is still learning that when her foster kitten siblings wrestle with her, it's just for fun and not scary. I can't even write a super long bio about Bacon because there are only so many ways to say she is perfect. Set up a video call to meet her today and I guarantee you'll agree! ___ Bacon thrives with kitty companionship once she feels comfortable. She does tiny little "baps" with her paws when she is overwhelmed during play time, but then gets right back in on the action. Bacon has never met a dog, and might be a little scared by a larger, rambunctious pup. With proper introductions, she would likely do great with an existing resident cat or a calm, cat-savvy dog. Or, she would be thrilled if adopted with one of her new foster buddies! Bacon is ~3.5 months old, spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and microchipped. She does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy, all she needs now is her forever home. Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Bacon is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along these routes. ——— ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: When you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you're doing more than giving your new family member a home.

Story
Meet Chloe, a gentle and beautiful calico girl with a heart as soft as her coat! Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Chloe is one of a group of cats who were born at a local Houston bar (Drift Bar). They grew up around the hustle and bustle of bar-goers and love being around people. When the only home they’d ever known closed down this summer, the resident kitties were left alone to fend for themselves until some good Samaritans stepped in. Chloe was snagged off the streets a few weeks after her sister Charlotte and two of their Drift Bar buddies, so she is still adjusting to life indoors. Though she may be timid at first, Chloe has been slowly but surely blooming into a more confident companion each day. With her brave (and nearly identical!) sister by her side, Chloe is learning that being part of a family isn’t so scary after all. Her progress in only a couple weeks has been amazing to watch. Her shyness fades a little each day, and we are so proud to find her in new, more open areas of the house as she feels more secure. This bright-eyed beauty watches her surroundings with quiet curiosity, taking mental notes and building up her courage, one interaction at a time. While she’s still a little wary of head pats, she absolutely adores chin rubs and butt scratches. Once she’s comfortable, she'll reward your affection by rolling over and purring like a tiny, furry lawnmower. Chloe has mastered the art of loafing, often perched by a sunny window, keeping watch over the world outside. Her calm presence brings a peaceful energy to any room, and she's happiest when she has a cozy nook to call her own and someone patient nearby who understands that her love and trust will come at her own pace. ___ At the time we are posting Chloe, she is truly a “newbie” indoor cat. During her time with her foster she will be exposed to a lot of new interactions, environments, sounds, and stimuli. When she was in her familiar environment she was just about as brave as her sister Charlotte. As we were trying for weeks to trap her and move her to safety, she would follow us around, rubbing and head butting our legs and staring up, meowing with her adorable little face. Ultimately no trap was needed – she just let us pluck her off the street and carry her home. We fully expect her to come around the same way her sister did after a little more adjustment time, and we can’t wait to see her personality come out even more! ___ Chloe has a nearly-identical sister Chloe who is also up for adoption – the two of them are very close and would be an adorable pair for anyone looking for double the fun. She has a very easygoing demeanor, and with proper introductions she would do just fine with an existing resident cat. She would also be fabulous as an only cat with lots of love and attention from her human family. Chloe is ~2 years old, spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and microchipped. She does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy, all she needs now is her forever home. Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat The Drift Bar Kitties: Victoria, Harrison, Charlotte, Chloe, Sebastian (coming soon), and Genevieve (coming soon). Chloe is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along these routes. ___ ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: When you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you're doing more than giving your new family member a home.
