Story
Hello there, I'm Raven. I'm a young, sweet soul, shy at first, but that's just me taking my time to know you. I was alone and on my own when I was found pregnant and and wounded. I am now ready to find my own home. I'm independent, yet I love a good snuggle when the stars come out, I'm sneaky and will curl up next you when your not expecting it. My day is never complete without a good play session with my favorite ball, but I only like to do this when I think no one is watching. I'm quite the smarty too, figuring out new games and hiding spots. My gentleness is something that people always notice. I'd rather give you soft purrs while gently laying next to my human at night to protect them from the evils in the dark. Adopting me means having a friend who will cherish your company, I make your house feel more like a home. Filling your life with soft purrs. If you're looking for a sweet, gentle, and smart companion, then I'm the one for you. Adoption fee is $100 and adoption is available in Texas only.

Story
Sunny is a gentle, sweet boy. He enjoys playing and exploring but if given a choice he much prefers to sit on your lap and soak up all the attention. He enjoys playing with all kinds of toys and would love a feline friend in his new family. Sunny has the sweetest little meow and a gentle demeanor that isn't common in kittens his age. Before his adoption Sunny will have had interactions with dogs, adult cats, and children. With his sweet disposition, he would make a wonderful addition to any home! Sunny is already using the litter pan and will be neutered, up to date on preventatives and vaccinations at the time of adoption.To see more photos and videos you can check out the fosters TikTok page, Daisysfosterfriends.IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats.

Story
Nebula is a gorgeous kitty with a strong independent, sassy personality. She truly lives up to the calico traits in the best ways. Nebula loves to cuddle and seek out affection from people and her siblings, on her terms of course. She is a very chatty kitten with a lot to say and shares her thoughts and options with us often. She has the cutest head tilts and has a naturally curious, playful nature. She would benefit most from a home with another cat or kitten as a companion to help her be her best self as she grows. Before her adoption she will have opportunities to interact with dogs, adult cats, and children to prepare her for all sorts of new adventures! Nebula is already using the litter pan and will be spayed, up to date on preventatives and vaccinations at the time of adoption.To see more photos and videos you can check out the fosters TikTok page, Daisysfosterfriends.IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats.

Story
Wild Card ALWAYS reminds of me of the kitten off of the Aristocats showing off with his hiss. He loves to act like he's a big tough guy when a piece of paper slides around and spooks him. But the second you pick him up or play with him, he's purring like no other! He's such a fluff ball, too! I can be adopted with a spay/neuter agreement! The refundable fee of $100 is INCLUDED in my $210 adoption fee! This fee covers my spay/neuter surgery (at the Monticello Vet Clinic), my vaccines: FVR & Rabies! & my FELV/FIV Test + preventatives! The $100 deposit is returned once proof of sterilization is furnished! Think I might be the perfect fit for your home? You can apply for me here https://animalwelfarefriends.org/adopt/application/ OR you can apply in person when you come visit me any day during business hours! You can even adopt me that same day once approved!!
