You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.North Texas Cat Rescue P.O Box 1504 McKinney, TX 75070 214.454.9395 www.northtexascatrescue.com Hello, my name is Beyoncé! I am an affectionate, loving, and playful girl. Other cats and/or kittens are lucky enough to be found by their foster families, well, I had other plans. I decided that I would find my own foster family, literally. I was out living on the streets when I wandered onto the porch of my foster family. They were nice enough to take me in during the ice storms/cold weather, and well….. I never left hence why I am in their loving care at the moment until I can find my own forever family. My foster family says that I am one big girl but I think it just means that there is more of me for you to love. I want nothing more than to spend time with you whether that is helping you while you work, watching tv, reading a book or even just being in the same room as you. I will let you know that I want and appreciate the love with my massive purr box and my small chirps. I can be quite persistent when it comes to getting your attention as I will follow you around until you have the time to pet me. Even though I am not a kitten anymore, I do still sometimes love to play with toys. My absolute favorite toy is the interactive ball toy that I chase around in circles. It is never ending. After living on the streets, I am adoring all of the love and cuddles from my foster family. So much so that I would like all of the love to be just for me, therefore I would need to be the only cat in my furever home.  Are you reading to add the gorgeous me into your family?Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please contact NTCR AT 214.454.9395 should you have any concerns or questions.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.North Texas Cat Rescue P.O Box 1504 McKinney, TX 75070 214.454.9395 www.northtexascatrescue.com Toliver has been waiting for a long time for his forever home. Lots of people look at him, but no one has been interested in adopting him. :(   Toliver is a super chonky boi on a weight loss journey. He  can be playful in short spurts and LOVES toys, so that will help with getting him to lose some weight. He does not like being picked up…likely due to being so overweight/it's uncomfortable for him. Toliver does not like other cats and must be an only cat in his forever home. He loves to be scratched on his head, face and neck, as well as being brushed. He’s very good at using his litter box and scratching posts. He enjoys sitting in the sun on "his" windowsill. He does give love bites on occasion so he's not a good match for a home with small kids.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please contact NTCR AT 214.454.9395 should you have any concerns or questions.

Hi my name is Mini Coop. I was once lost and starving. I knew I needed help so I found some lovely humans to take care of me. I am their foster kitty now until they can find me a Furever Home.  I love to play with all my toys and climb in my tall tower, but mostly I love to curl up in someone’s lap. I do have special dietary needs, so I would do best in a home with no other animals or hopefully one with the same dietary needs as me. I was born with a condition called MegaEsophagus. I need to eat small meals 3 times a day from a special elevated dish. Then I need to be held upright for a few minutes after I eat. I would love someone who is home most of the time to give me snuggles and play with me. My foster mom has been working on harness training me so I can learn to be an emotional support animal, but it is definitely a work in progress. Please adopt me and I will love you more than you can possibly imagine. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please contact NTCR AT 214.454.9395 should you have any concerns or questions.

Story
Hello there! I'm Murray, the most charming orange/white tabby boy you'll ever meet! I was rescued from the shelter alongside my brother, Hopper. While I may seem a bit reserved at first, just give me a moment, and you'll witness my heartwarming transformation. I express myself with a delightful melody of purrs and love "chirping" at my foster parents and feline friends. My foster mom affectionately calls me "Purry Murray" because my purr engine revs up instantly when you shower me with pets. Oh, did I mention my fondness for treats? Catch me eagerly waiting in the kitchen at lunchtime, ready to showcase my endearing trick of standing on hind legs and pawing for treats. The coziest spot for me is right by your side – be it on a chair, sofa, or snuggled up in bed. I'm a spirited kitten, reveling in playtime with toys, my dear brother Hopper, and our fellow foster cats. If I'm not frolicking around, you'll likely find me enjoying a peaceful nap. And rest assured, my litter box manners are impeccable, and I've almost mastered the art of using the scratching post. I thrive in the company of other kitties, so a home with a feline companion would be purr-fect for me. I'm eagerly anticipating finding my forever family. Don't hesitate – fill out that application for me today, and let's embark on a heartwarming journey together! **Because we require home visits, we only adopt locally to the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

Story
Hello there! I'm Hopper, a delightful red/orange tabby kitten, and I've got a heartwarming story to share. Rescued from a shelter alongside my brother, Murray, I sport the cutest red/orange birthmark just below my nose. My foster mom affectionately calls me a "purr box" – a simple chat is all it takes to set my purring in motion. You'll often find me perched on the desk, keeping my foster parent company during work. I've taken it upon myself to stand guard at the window, shielding my foster family from the antics of mischievous birds and squirrels. And let's not forget my love for treats – I don't just love them, I demand them, especially come lunchtime. My foster mom has a little routine where I stand on my hind legs and "beg" for treats before indulging in them. Being an energetic fellow, I thoroughly enjoy playtime with toys, my brother Murray, and the other foster kittens. When I'm not in the midst of play or enjoying a meal, you'll find me cozily napping. With my outgoing personality, I quickly warm up to new human friends. While my litter box habits are impeccable, I'm still refining my use of the scratching post. Given my social nature, I'd thrive in a household with another feline companion. I'm eagerly awaiting the day I find my forever family – could that be you? Don't hesitate, fill out an application for me today!Email info@habitat4paws.org for an application. **Because we require home visits, we only adopt locally to the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

Story
Greetings! I’m Charlotte or Princess Charlotte as my foster mom calls me, because I’m a princess now! My foster mom rescued my brother Max and me from the streets, where we were having a difficult life outside. You see, I’m a special needs cat and have a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH). But don’t let that scare you, I am just like every other kitten. I’m just a little wobbly and sometimes I fall over but I can still live a normal happy life, indoors. The good news is, you will never have to worry about me jumping up on tables or counters! I just need a few modifications like raised food bowls and shorter cat trees, and of course lots and lots of love! I’m still learning how to be an indoor cat so I’m not into snuggles just yet, but I’m a sweet girl and do love attention and pets. My litter box etiquette is purrfect and I’m learning that I love scratching boxes and posts. I’m great with other cats but because of my disability, I would probably do best in a home where there aren’t any dogs or little children. I’m also part of a bonded pair with my brother Max so we are a package deal. If you choose to adopt me I will do best in a house where he can come along too. After all, two kittens are always better than one! ASK ABOUT SPECIAL PRICING FOR US! **Because we require home visits, we only adopt locally to the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

Story
Greetings, I’m Max or Prince Maximus as my foster mom likes to call me. I’m a sweet, happy, and cuddly little guy because I can’t believe my good fortune! I was born on the streets and when I was a couple months old, my foster mom came along and rescued my sister Charlotte and me. I was actually supposed to be a “trap neuter release” kitten (hence the ear tip) but I told my foster mom I didn’t want to go back outside, showed her how sweet I was, and the rest is history! She says that I’m a prince now. I have to say, I’m a big fan of indoor cat life. When I’m worn out from playing with my sister, I love to curl up on the couch with my foster mom. I also like to follow her around and I love it when she picks me up and gives me lots of kisses. I’m a very well behaved boy and all I need is a ball to play with and I’m happy! I’m also very quiet and sometimes I try to meow but nothing comes out. My litter box etiquette is purrfect and I’m learning that I love scratching boxes and posts. You should know that I love my sister Charlotte very much so we are a package deal. We love to play and cuddle and it’s my job to protect her. If you choose to adopt me I will do best in a house where she can come along too. After all, two kittens are always better than one! ASK ABOUT SPECIAL PRICING FOR THE TWO OF US!

Hey there, I'm Fiona! Picture this: I'm the cuddliest, most charming kitty in town. I've got an affectionate streak that's bound to steal your heart. Whether you're a little kid or a grown up, I'm all about spreading the love to every human I encounter. Got more cats? No problem! I'm the ultimate cat whisperer. I don't do well without another cat around so I should be in a home with a cat or kitten friend. Oh, did I mention my stylish spots? Some say I resemble a tiny cow, but don't be fooled—I'm just your typical, adorable, teenage kitten size. Now, onto my hobbies! I'm a toy enthusiast, always on the prowl for the next playtime adventure. I'll zip around the house, burning off energy like it's going out of style. I prefer lots of space to run around as I get nervous if I’m in a room or small space where I can't perch like a gargoyle to watch everyone. When it's time to wind down, I'll cozy up on your lap, kneading biscuits and purring sweet melodies into your ear. Think of me as your very own purr-fect sound machine. Let's make it official and meet up. I'm ready to show you the true meaning of companionship—spoiler alert: it involves lots of love and purrs!
