Snowshoe kittens & cats in Austin, Texas

Friendly, Calm, Chatty Could you be the gravy to this Mashed Potato? She’s a sweet and talkative girl who can’t wait to be your new best friend! You might think of potatoes as just a side dish, but this girl is the whole meal - she’s adorable, she’s friendly, and she likes to play! Mashed Potato has the spirit of a lap cat, just without the lap part. She doesn’t really sit in laps, but she loves to be around people. She will sleep in bed with her foster and loves to be petted and get cheek scratches. Mashed Potato is also pretty chatty and loves to talk to her foster all the time! She’s no kitten, but for a senior girl, Mashed Potato is pretty playful! She really likes playing with the wand toys, but she doesn’t require tons of playtime from her people. She definitely prefers lots of love and attention over toys! Mashed Potato is currently taking one easy medication for pain and anxiety, since her legs sometimes spasm and she has a slight wobble on her left leg. It doesn’t stop her from being her sweet and chatty self though! The ideal home for Mashed Potato is one with people who will give her plenty of attention and listen to all her little meows. She met some kids between 4-5 yrs old and did well with all of them! Mashed Potato is family ready! Mashed Potato has tested positive AND negative for Feline Leukemia. This means it is very likely that she is FeLV regressive. FeLV regressive cats typically live a normal lifespan with few symptoms and are at low risk of developing FeLV-related issues. They are, for the most part, just like any other cat. APA! waives the adoption fees of these cats, and provides FeLV-related treatment and support post-adoption. Mashed Potato can only live with other FeLV+ cats, but dogs and other animals are just fine! All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team. For further information or to meet Mashed Potato, please email adopt@austinpetsalive.org.

Pearl is a beautiful seal lynx point siamese with crystal blue eyes that are sometimes crossed.  She was found abandoned in Houston and rescued by a local family who then contacted Austin Siamese Rescue.  She came to us with her four kittens and was a wonderful mama.  She is currently living in a foster home with other kitties and dogs.  Pearl has lived with her foster family to learn to be a loved family member.  Prior to being rescued, Pearl did not have a good reason to trust people.  She has slowly copied some of her foster siblings to learn to like attention and petting.  She is comfortable with dogs and meets other cats comfortably.  She has made kitty friends in her foster home.   She wants to be loved, sleeps next to her foster mom and comes up for petting.  She still gets anxious and will dash away if she gets startled.   Pearl will be so rewarding to help as she learns more and more to love and trust people.  You can tell she really loves petting and attention but is still anxious.  She will be able to join a home with other pets. but would be fine as an only kitty and would probably come out of her shell faster.  She will need patience to settle into her new home but she will bond closely to a person when she finally has her own family to cuddle and connect with. ##1988082##

Dashi and her daughter Miso II have been surrendered by their owner and are looking for their forever home with a special family. Dashi is a 4 year old Lynx Point Siamese that had a rough start in life. She was abandoned to survive the outdoors while pregnant. She became a part of the ASR family shortly before giving birth in 2021 to 4 beautiful kittens. She was the greatest Mom and even took in two orphaned kittens.  Dashi can take a little time to trust but once she has warmed up to her new enviroment, she is a real gem. Sweet and affectionate, she seeks pets and belly rubs from her humans and loves to snuggle up at bedtime. She is not a lap cat but is very loving. ##1967222##
