Almond has spent much of her life so far outdoors, finding her way through the world near a hotel before a kind rescuer gave her the chance at something more. Despite her past, she carries a soft, tender spirit that shines through in everything she does.
Almond is a striking lady!! Her adorably round body is peak physical perfection, and she is the most adorable little "Cinnabon" swirls that look like they were painted on. She’s petite overall with short little legs and dainty features, but paired with the sweetest round belly that gives her an endearing, slightly wobbly walk as she does her Important Cat Things.
This sweet little gal loves cuddling in her fluffy bed where she can disappear into the softness. She adores being warm and cozy now that she's experienced the good life. During exceptionally good naps you’ll only catch a glimpse of her: a tiny face peeking out or a single paw stretching from the bed fluff.
Nowadays Almond is never really alone. She has a quiet, nurturing presence that draws other cats and kittens to her, and she has been a mother figure to many of the kittens in her foster home. You’ll often find them gathered around her, exchanging gentle headbutts and soft little “kisses,” a constant display of affection and trust. They love to make biscuits on her tummy and will tuck in next to her any chance they get!
Almond herself is gentle, sensitive, and a bit reserved at first. She takes her time learning to trust, but with patience and kindness, she blossoms into something truly special. The kind of presence that doesn’t demand attention, but becomes the reason you smile every single day.
She’s looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe, be herself, and continue sharing her quiet kind of love.

Almond gets along perfectly with other cats and would do well if adopted with a friend or to a home with a friendly resident kitty. She has never met a dog, but with slow introductions to a patient, cat-savvy dog we think she could learn to love a new pup sibling.
Her ideal situation is a calm and loving home where she can feel safe, be herself, and continue sharing her love with a family who will be hers forever.
Almond is approximately 2.5-3 years old, spayed, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. She does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy.. all she needs now is a home!

ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES:
Our adoption fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and transportation costs. Also, when you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you’re 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!
