Meet Shirley – From the Streets of Egypt to a Forever Home! Beautiful Shirley is approximately 1½ to 2 years old and has already been through more than any cat should have to endure. Shirley was found living on the streets of Egypt with a severely infected uterus. Thankfully, our rescue team acted quickly and made sure she received the veterinary care she desperately needed. After treatment and recovery, Shirley is now fully healed, happy, and ready to find her forever family. Shirley is the sweetest, calmest girl! She loves nothing more than taking long, peaceful naps in a warm spot of sunshine or curling up on your lap for a cozy nap. But Shirley has an extra-special way of showing her love. She will wrap herself around your neck and give you the gentlest little hugs, as if she is thanking you for giving her a second chance at life. After surviving the streets, Shirley deserves a home where she can finally feel safe, loved, and cherished. She isn't looking for anything complicated—just a loving family, a warm lap, some sunshine, and a forever home. Shirley is ready for her happily ever after. Could you be the family she's been waiting for? Interested in adopting Shirley?

Meet Muppet. Well less meet, and more welcome back. Muppet was one of the first cats to ever arrive at Mew Paltz all the way back to when we opened July 2023. Recently, Muppets family has made the difficult decision to return her to our care as they no longer can provide for her. Muppet is with us in Beacon now. She loves people watching in the window, being brushed by staff, and being a demure bench mate in her favorite sitting spot. She is relaxed, happy, and a purr machine. The pictures don't do her beautiful coat justice, she's something you truly just have to behold.Want to meet Muppet? Book an appointment at the cafe through the link in their bio, and get a head start by filling out an adoption application at HVARS.org/adoptions Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 9.06 Age: 4yrs 7mths 1wks

Primary Color: Black Weight: 9.625 Age: 10yrs 1mths 3wks

Meet Augustus, a fluffy black gentleman with the smallest, fluffiest little face and a heart that is somehow even bigger than his magnificent coat. Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat * Adoption fee (1.5+ years) is $315 * Augustus is on a prescription diet. * Our rescue is located in Houston, TX, and we transport our babies to wonderful adopters in the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, and stops along the way. Transport cost is included in the adoption fee. --- Augustus is a fluffy black gentleman with the smallest, fluffiest little face and a heart that is somehow even bigger than his magnificent coat. Augustus knows what it’s like to struggle. Life outdoors was, without a doubt, the cruelest chapter of his story. But perhaps that’s also why he understands just how wonderful life can be now. These days, Augustus is always hovering a few steps above contentment, ready to stretch out his paws toward any human willing to give him even the tiniest bit of attention. And let us be clear: Augustus absolutely LOVES people. Give him a human companion and he is a happy boy. He would happily spend his days soaking up affection, lounging nearby, and enjoying the simple luxury of being safe, warm, and loved. He dreams of spending his golden years cuddling with his human—or, perhaps even better, sitting contentedly nearby while they go about their day. He doesn’t need constant excitement or adventure. He just wants to be part of someone’s life, where he can finally know that he is safe, cherished, and home. After everything Augustus has been through, he deserves nothing less than a soft place to land, a loving human to call his own, and a lifetime of belly rubs. If you’re looking for a fluffy little shadow with a huge heart, Augustus may be your guy. --- Augustus has been in a foster home with multiple other young and older kitties. He would do well going into a home with or without other pets. With the right family who will give him the love he needs. Augustus has never met a dog, but with slow introductions to a patient, cat-savvy dog we think he could learn to love a new pup sibling. Augustus is approximately 2.5 years old, neutered, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. He does a great job of keeping his litterbox tidy.. all he needs now is a forever home! The adoption application can be found here:
https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat

 Augustus is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along these routes.

 --- ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: 

 Our adoption fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and transportation costs. Also, when you adopt from ROSES Rescues, youre doing more than giving your new family member a home. Each adoption fee sponsors a cat on the streets of Houston to get fixed, helping end the cycle of overpopulation in a rough environment. We thank you so much for your contribution to our efforts!
