Story
God's Dogs Rescue plus Kitties does NOT transport any cats or kittens in or out of the state of Texas. It is too stressful for the cats or kittens to be transported long distances, especially when enclosed in a vehicle containing dogs and puppies. Thank you for your understanding. Miss Nellie Mae is so beautiful! In a former life, Nellie M. was a model for a leading modeling agency, specializing in swimwear! Nellie M. is quiet and reserved. She loves to observe the world around her and respond when something piques her curiosity. Like her sister Roadie, her upbringing was rough, somewhere in Laredo. She has blossomed into a beautiful blue-eyed white girl who is friendly and is becoming more and more sweet as she gets used to her new life as a cherished foster. Don't you think she would be a wonderful (and beautiful) addition to your family?

Story
God's Dogs Rescue plus Kitties does NOT transport any cats or kittens in or out of the state of Texas. It is too stressful for the cats or kittens to be transported long distances, especially when enclosed in a vehicle containing dogs and puppies. Thank you for your understanding. We're working on introducing him to our personal cats/dogs, but it's slow because our personal cats don't love new faces and our dogs are intense. He's curious about them and so far, I think he'd be good with ones that are calm and less reactive. He was good with the two kids(age 11+) he's met so far, though they had experience with cats already. He hasn't met very young kids or kids with no cat experience. He is litterbox trained and he's very playful. He's likely to be a little shy at first, but he's a pretty brave kitten and I don't think it will take long for him to open up to new people. He's not a cuddler and doesn't like to be held for long. He'd rather be sitting next to me just to hang out. He doesn't really hang out on my lap just cause, but he will often sleep on my lap when he's done playing. He plays with pretty much everything I've given him; balls, springs, soft toys, wands, tunnels, toilet paper rolls. He hates bell balls and will pretty much not touch them. His favorite toys are the springs and the tunnels. He's fairly food motivated, so I think being there when feeding her and offering him tasty snacks(we often use chicken, but he loves any meaty thing I have) will win him over pretty quickly. He loves to play and will tolerate being petted sometimes, but he doesn't like being held much. He chirps when he's happy or interested in something. He's less interested in finding things to get into himself, but he'll often follow his sister when she's getting into trouble. He was found in a bush on my porch. I'm pretty sure his mom had him in the one on the side of the house and then later moved them to the one by the porch.

Story
Meet Tobi – The Gentle Soul with a Big Heart Tobi’s journey began as a quiet visitor at an apartment complex, where he appeared daily in search of food—and a little kindness. When a small injury showed up on his arm, his rescuer knew it was time to bring him in and give him the care he deserved. Now safe, healthy, and thriving in a loving foster home, Tobi is ready to find his forever family. This sweet and shy kitten has blossomed into a calm companion who loves lounging by the window, watching the world go by. He adores his wet food, enjoys gentle playtime with toys, and gets along wonderfully with other cats. While Tobi isn't fond of dogs, he’s respectful and keeps his distance, making him a great fit for a quiet, dog-free home. Tobi is fully litter box trained and prefers not to be kenneled. He’s a bit of an introvert—independent at times, but also a cuddle bug when the mood strikes. If you’re looking for a laid-back feline friend who appreciates affection on his terms, Tobi might just be your perfect match. Adoption fee is $150 for kittens and $100 for adults.

Story
We got Gil as a kitten from a friend. He’s been with us for 2 1/2 years. Gil is a sweet, spunky cat. He loves to play…sometimes fetch! When in the mood, he enjoys a cozy nap on your lap. Occasionally he’ll sleep through the night in bed with you. Gil enjoys going outside and sticking close to home. Mostly he just likes to watch the world around him and sometimes try to catch something, which he rarely does. We have another cat. Gil is definitely the boss. But they get along with the occasional cat scuffle. Unfortunately, Gil is a bit territorial and for some reason has taken a dislike to one of our daughters. When she visits, he’s unkind. We’ve tried all sorts of things and he’s made up his mind. So, we can’t keep him. We think he’d do great in a different home. He’s truly a sweet cat and we’d love to see him in a home that can handle him.
