Hi there! My name is Snuggle, and I'm the cutest little brown tabby with a splash of white you'll ever meet! I'm a domestic shorthair, so my fur is super soft and perfect for cuddling. I just love being close to my humans and getting plenty of attention - and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be the best snuggle buddy you'll ever have! I'm a very sweet and gentle girl. I'm also incredibly docile and affectionate. Honestly, I live for being petted! If you give me some head scratches, you'll have a friend for life. I'll nuzzle up against you, purr loudly, and melt into your touch. It's the best feeling in the world! At night, I love to curl up on the bed and snooze the night away. You can bet I'll be right next to you, purring softly as I dream of all the snuggles we'll share tomorrow. And when you wake up in the morning, I'll be right there waiting for you, ready to start the day off with some more cuddles. I promise I'll be a purrfect companion and make you the happiest cat owner in the world! Come meet me today and let's get snuggly! I am available for adoption at PetSmart Rockwall located at 931 E Interstate 30 Rockwall, TX 75087. For more information about me, please email cats@frastx.org.March 23, 2025, 1:24 pm

Hello there! I’m Nikki, an adorable one-year-old brown tabby with a heart just bursting with affection. While I might not be a fan of being picked up and held (I prefer all my little paws to stay on the ground), I promise that if you give me a little space, I’ll come to you when I’m ready, and we’ll be the best of friends! I’m a sweet and gentle girl who loves to share cuddles and cozy moments—just on my own terms! You might find me curled up beside you, purring softly as I soak up all the love and attention. My playful side will shine through as I chase my favorite toys, and I can’t wait to bring joy and laughter into your home. If you’re looking for a loving companion who will open her heart to you in the most beautiful way, I’m your kitty! Together, we’ll create a wonderful friendship filled with love, trust, and unforgettable memories. I can’t wait to meet you and start our forever adventure together!

Story
Hello, I'm Cathy! At 3 years old, I'm a rare gem among cats—did you know that only 20% of orange cats are female like me? Unfortunately, my previous owner had to move, and one of the kids developed allergies, leaving me in search of a new, loving home. I may be a bit unsure about all the changes in my life right now, but trust me, I have a heart full of sweetness waiting to be discovered. My golden eyes shine with warmth, and I can't wait to find someone who can look past my shyness and see the love I have to give. With a little patience, I know you'll fall for my gentle nature. Let's create new memories together—I'm ready when you are! I am available for adoption but is still being cared for in a foster home.  For more information about me or to schedule a meeting, please email cats@frastx.org.March 20, 2025, 9:46 pm

Hi there! I'm Birdie, a charming one-year-old black and white male domestic shorthair. I'm an active little guy who loves to explore my surroundings and soak up attention—on my own terms, of course! If you have treats, we'll be fast friends. While I’m not a fan of dogs, I’ve shared my space happily with fellow felines. Just a heads up—I can play a bit rough, so I’d probably do best in a home without young kids. Oh, and you might notice I like to suckle on blankets—it’s just one of my unique quirks! If you’re looking for a spirited companion who knows how to mix fun with a bit of independence, I’m your guy! Let's make some wonderful memories together! I am available for adoption but is still being cared for in a foster home.  For more information about me or to schedule a meeting, please email cats@frastx.org.March 16, 2025, 11:25 am

Hi there! My name is Pippa, and I'm a 9-month-old grey and white female kitten with a heart full of love to share. I was found wandering the streets, and a kind lady saw how sweet I am and decided to take me in. I can be a little shy when I’m in new places, but once I feel comfortable, I transform into a playful and affectionate companion. My fur is incredibly soft, and I absolutely adore being petted. There’s nothing better than a good scratch behind the ears or a cozy cuddle session. I might need a little time to warm up, but I promise that once I do, I’ll fill your days with purrs and playful antics. If you’re looking for a gentle and loving friend to share your home with, I’d love to meet you! Let’s create a loving bond together!

Story
James is a handsome DSH orange tabby male born approximately 3/13/2021. James was originally rescued by NBCR along with his mother and his 6 other siblings. He and his brother, Jacob, were then adopted into a loving home. Sadly, through no fault of their own, they were returned to us about a year later. They have since been in a long-term foster home where they are much loved and cared for. They would still love to have a truly forever home to call their own. James and Jacob are quite bonded. James is timid and super shy except with humans he feels comfortable with. He sleeps with his foster, but still can be startled if she moves too fast. He would do best adopted with his brother as they seem to find comfort having each other's presence.  They both like people and attention, but they do still get scared easily. James isn't quite as brave as Jacob, so he isn't quite as comfortable out and about through the whole house. If it gets too much, he will go upstairs until things calm down. Really, James' needs are simple: a calm person and place to go to when scared, someone to sleep with at night, and canned food every day. That's his happy thing! They would probably do okay with kids who are calm and give them time to adjust. James is microchipped and currently in a foster home. His adoption fee is $105. November 4, 2024, 1:06 pm

Story
Samwise, Sam for short, is a beautiful DSH red/orange tabby male born approximately 1/26/2022. He has striking round yellow eyes. This big, sweet boy is large and in charge! Sam was originally rescued a year ago when he showed up in a Garland neighborhood out of nowhere and the consensus was that he was a dumped or abandoned pet. Several neighbors started feeding him. Then one Saturday afternoon in January when the DFW arctic blast arrived, Sam showed up at the backdoor of one of the neighbors and begged to come in. She took him in and contacted New Beginnings, agreeing to foster him until he could be adopted. He was quickly adopted into a loving home, but sadly was recently returned to us. Hi, my name is Samwise and I am a spunky ginger boy who is in need of a new home. I am looking for a hooman that wants an active, energetic, loving, and affectionate kitty. I need someone that has a lot of time to play with me and then get snuggly with me once I've been exercised. I need toys, time, and attention to keep me happy and engaged. I prefer to be the only kitty, aka the star of the show! I love kitty beds with blankets. Toys that I like include the laser, wand toys, play mice, and anything that encourages my hunting instincts. A cat tree is a must - to climb, use as a scratching pad, and to look outside to watch the birds. I love chirping and chattering at them. I am an indoor cat that needs access to a window, aka my personal "Cat TV." I am very sweet and very clever. I will also supervise while my litterbox is being cleaned and personally give it the paw of approval. Are you looking for me? I am waiting for you! Sam is microchipped and currently in a foster home. His adoption fee is $105. March 14, 2025, 11:37 am

Story
Tiger is a handsome DSH orange and white tabby senior gentleman born approximately 5/25/2013. "I found my home when I was just a baby by going under the fence. After a couple of months, I could no longer fit under the fence and had to jump over the fence. A nice man greeted me every day with food and pets, and eventually, I was invited to live inside with him.  Then came along another kitty named Lady. We got along well and played together for a long time. Now, I am all grown up and mature, but sadly, the nice man who rescued us recently passed away and now we must start over. If Lady could come with me to a new family, it would make the transition to starting over a little bit easier.    I am very laid back and sweet. I love canned food and treats. I enjoy being petted, sleeping in a box, and recently being brushed to keep my fur looking great. Sometimes I would sneak outside when the door was open long enough, but it didn’t take long for me to want to run back to be let in. So, for a while, I would need to be watched so that I don’t want to do that and get lost."  Although Tiger has previously lived in a multi-cat household, we aren't sure how he would do with other cats in a new home situation. We do know he currently seems fearful of dogs. Tiger is microchipped and currently in a foster home. His adoption fee is $105.November 4, 2024, 1:06 pm

Hello! This is Ginger! If you're an old Hollywood fan, you'll know she's named after Ginger Rogers for her contagious personality, kindness, and love of playing and spinning around the floor. She can be reserved and timid initially, but once you show her how loved she is, she'll melt in your arms. She's one of three from her adopted mother. Unfortunately, I lost my job and can no longer provide for her the way she deserves. She's less than a year old. Shots are up to date as of 2/20/25! I just want to give her a kind and loving home. She deserves it.

Story
This neutered male kitty was found on February the 17, 2025 at the Rowlett Recreation Center. He is chatty, energetic, playful and sweet. However, he does not get along with our two older female cats (sisters) so I would recommend a one cat home. I really don’t know much about him other than he is chipped by a rescue organization but I was not given the name of the organization nor the chip number by vet. We are no longer able to keep him in our home and have been advised by Animal Control and Veterinarian to release him where we found him but I would rather have him place in a loving home.
