Polydactyl kittens & cats in Houston, Texas

HUGS WITH HER FLUFFY MITTS  DOB 12/3/19 Hey there, everyone! I'm Penelope, a beautiful, sweet, fluffy medium-haired girl with bright green eyes, a little mirth in my expression, and just enough sass to make sure you know I’m not just another ordinary beauty. I’m laid-back and independent, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love affection — or that I lack a purrsonality! I don’t necessarily need to be the center of attention. I’m perfectly happy doing my own thing and observing the world around me. But when you’re fabulously fluffy, attention tends to find its way to you anyway. I have quite a few opinions, and I’m not afraid to share them. I’ll let you know where you stand with me — sometimes vocally, sometimes by flopping over in all my fluffy glory, hoping to sucker you into giving me just a few more pets, please. I don’t mind being picked up and cuddled, either. When I’m in your arms, I’ll put my fluffy mitts on you and hold on for a hug.  I’m named after Penelope from The Odyssey — the woman who waited for Odysseus to come home to Ithaca after being away on his agonizingly long journey. And I understand waiting. I understand journeys. I was rescued near a bus stop — where journeys begin and end. I survived outdoors, despite having once known the comforts of being loved indoors. Now, I’m waiting for the part of my story where I finally get to go home.

THEIR ROMANCE BEGAN AT A COMMUNITY-CAT FEEDING STATION  DOB 4/20/22 (Buddy); DOB 2/29/25 (Pina) Hey there, everyone! We’re Buddy and Pina, a pair of bonded soulmates whose romance began at Foster Meowmy’s next-door neighbor’s community-cat feeding station. About three months after we met, we wandered together over to Foster Meowmy’s back yard in East Houston, and she was kind enough to bring us both inside when the February arctic freeze hit. Buddy says, “I’m a big, gentle, calm, and affectionate brown tabby Maine Coon fella who luxuriates when Foster Meowmy scratches my ears, rubs my belly, and brushes the long locks on my wispy mane, body, and flowing tail. I’m rather a lethargic couch potato, and sleeping peacefully on Foster Meowmy’s chest is one of my favorite pastimes.” Pina says, “I’m a cuddly and sweet but spicy and energetic tortoiseshell gal who flaunts my proverbial “tortitude” with flair and offers my opinions with confident panache. I know that I’d disappoint you if I didn’t live up to the tortie’s reputation of sassiness when being affectionate with my hoomans -- on my terms, of course.” Although we’re both pretty asymptomatic, we both are classified as having special needs. Buddy says, “I tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV+), which I probably contracted from the deep bite wound from an intact male cat. (Unlike Feline Leukemia, FIV is NOT passed on "casually" by sharing food bowls and litter boxes with other household cats.) Being FIV positive doesn’t stop me from living my best life as long as my dental health is routinely monitored and prompt attention is given to any urinary-tract or upper-respiratory infections.” Pina says, “Just before the February arctic freeze, Foster Meowmy found me collapsed and unresponsive in her backyard. She rushed me to the vet, who diagnosed and successfully treated me for a respiratory infection, and I still occasionally suffer from asthma as a leftover result of that nasty infection. To this day, I gratefully owe my life to Foster Meowmy.” Although we both have stolen Foster Meowmy’s heart, we think it’s time for us to let her resident cats bask in her unshared attention and to find a forever family of very own. Perhaps you’re looking for a gentle giant and kind, old soul who peacefully reigns over your hearts (that’s me, Buddy) as well as a fiercely loyal companion, ready to be the center of your attention (that’s me, Pina). Could that be you? Arrange to meet us today! Since Foster Meowmy realizes that we’ll be most contented if we remain together, she is insisting that we be adopted as a bonded pair. We think it’d be the cat’s meow if we could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation – and that arrangement probably works out best for you anyway!

ALL SHE WANTS IS TO LOVE AND BE LOVED Hey there, everyone! I’m Micha, an outgoing, affectionate, and cuddly brown tabby Maine Coon mix gal with a fluffy tail and gorgeous green eyes. My favorite spot is snuggled right next to Foster Meowmy so I can luxuriate while she gently strokes my back and scratches my ears. I’m very friendly and sociable, so I connect quickly with hoomans. If we’ve just met, just give me a minute because it won’t take me long to trust you and seek your affection – and happily reciprocate your love with gentle head nudges and contented purrs. You see, I’m a girl who loves deeply. My heart’s desire is actually very simple -- I want someone to love, and in return, I want someone who will love me back just as much. My story hasn’t always been easy. Foster Meowmy found my sister Noche and me wandering around an apartment complex as friendly strays when we were only ten months old. Our previous owner had moved away and left us behind, and we were suddenly on our own trying to survive. Despite being abandoned, I never stopped trusting people. From the first day that Foster Meowmy scooped Noche and me up and brought us to the safe haven of her home, she saw something special in my sweet and loving personality – that I’m incredibly grateful for being given a second chance to be safe, loved, cherished, and never abandoned again. Now I’m ready to fill my forever family’s life with companionship, affection, and plenty of purrs. In return, they need to see what my Foster Meowmy sees — a devoted, loyal, affectionate girl who’s happiest when I can be close to my people, sharing their day and receiving all the love and attention that delights me so much. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! Look into my big green eyes and give me just a minute -- I have a feeling that’s all the time I’ll need to show you all the love in my heart.
