Story

Kanga is a gorgeous, friendly cat who will fill your life with laughs & love. She was found living on the streets of South Texas with her single kitten. Now that her baby is grown up and her mothering days are behind her, Kanga’s hilarious and sweet personality is really shining. She’s getting to be the playful cat that she never got to be on the streets. This sweet girl is always purring, even at the vet’s office. Kanga currently lives in a foster home with multiple cats and dogs and she does great with both. She will fit into just about any type of home. She’s perfect! She loves to play with toys (including her emotional support Nordstrom Rack paper bag). But her absolute favorite place is the dog’s fuzzy donut bed. When she's peacefully snoozing away, you can see her cute little tongue peeking out. Kanga is around 1 year old and 6.5 lbs. She is spayed, FELV/FIV negative, and up to date on prevention and vaccines. She’s ready to join your family today!

Story

My pet is the sweetest cat I’ve ever met. She was so playful, funny, loving and so sweet. My cat was tested for FeLV and came out positive back in May of 2025. Unfortunately, the last 2 weeks she has not been herself. She has not been eating and is very lethargic. I took her to the vet and unfortunately I cannot keep up with her medical expenses. I would love to find her a loving home who is able to give her the best life possible.

Not good with kids, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Found him on the street early September 2025 and the people in the house nearby didnt know who he belongs to so I assumed that hes a stray and picked him up. Hes always been skittish and doesnt let us touch him, he would allow the tiniest of touches but then he would run away. Hes around 7 months old (as of January 2026). He is very playful and one of the cats taught him to talk to himself. He is using the litter box of course. Lately hes been getting on the kitchen counters and in my roommates plants and I cant get him to stop. We have other cats that we taught to behave, and with him being skittish and scared or us I cant teach him without getting him even more scared. We keep returning to a messy kitchen and we cant have this all the time with work and school. Looking for someone who has time to get him out of his skittish behavior. Also we would have to move by July 2026 (across state lines) and with him being scared we cant have him in the car like that.

Emma was found at my parent's house in Leander after a big thunderstorm. She has a ton of energy and is friendly to everyone once she gets to know you. She gets along with cats well, but that is because my current cat has been helping her with play-fighting etiquette. She is adventurous, fearless, and always has a big appetite. She also does enjoy some TLC time with a movie.
