Snowshoe kittens & cats in Richardson, Texas

Hi, I’m Hobbes and I want to share my story. I was in a home before I was surrendered to Texas CARES. It was my one and only home and I was the star of the house, that is, until my family had a baby. After that, it seems I was set aside. The wonderful people at Texas CARES took me into their rescue but that is not where my story ends. You see, I am a very special boy and have had some pretty big ups and downs. In my foster home, I was having such a time using my litter box and no one could seem to figure out why I was going outside of it. They took me to the vet, where they ran tests and more tests. That wasn’t fun, because I am not a huge fan of going into the carrier (I told foster mom all about it on the ride) but I knew it was for my own good. My foster mom, along with the medical team, tried several different things. My food was changed, my foster mom used extra litter boxes, but I still would go outside the box. There was even a time where I heard talk of euthanasia. I’m not sure what that is but it sure didn’t sound good! I know my foster mom was so frustrated and really wanted to help me, but it was tough. Finally, foster mom and the medical team, along with the vets, started me on some different antibiotics and some medicine to help with my mental state. This seemed to be what was needed for me because I now use the litter box each and every time I need to go! So, you see, it took a little time, but I am finally ready to seek out a forever home. I will have to be on my special food, which helps prevent crystals in my urine, and I may have to be on my mental meds long term, but I take them like a champ. In fact, I don’t even think it’s medicine because it looks and tastes like a chicken treat. I enjoy my prescription food as well! I do get along with dogs and I have met my foster mom's cats but honestly, I’d probably prefer just to have my very own human to myself. I won’t be going up to the adoption center, so if you’d like to meet me and have a chat, my foster family will make arrangements for you to meet me! I really hope you will take a chance on me because I am a really wonderful boy and I am ready to be your best friend!  Medical:  Special Diet - He is now on CD Urinary food both dry and wet. Fluoxetine - Compounded Treat Chews - ordered monthly and delivered to his home. June 24, 2025, 5:36 pm

Nestor and Tilly are a bonded duo with a snowshoe background, though not pure-bred. They are easy keepers, being well past the kitten stage, and great companions. What makes them extra special is the fact that they actually know some commands such as "sit," "lay," "bed." How about letting these two beauties enrich your life?

Tyson is 4 months old and thinks there is no such thing as too many toys ! He gets along great with children, other kitties & small polite dogs He's fully vetted (neutered + all vax, dewormers & microchip). Please contact us anytime to schedule a drop in time to meet this sweet boy. 214-949-2247

Meet Tiptoe! This handsome lynx point boy is as sweet as they come and wants nothing more than to be cuddled by his fosters (except maybe wet food).  Tiptoe came to us from a colony of community cats as a potential TNR candidate, but it was quickly obvious that he was too friendly and had too many dental issues to thrive outside. After assessment by the vet, we found that Tiptoe has stomatitis and we made the decision to have all his teeth removed due to this chronic condition. Since his dental extraction was completed and he's healed up fully, Tiptoe is happier than ever and still enjoys scarfing down kibble and canned food alike, much more easily now that his mouth doesn't hurt. This guy loves playing with wand toys and can chase them around as long as someone will indulge him. He's still a young cat who has a lot of energy but is ultimately a big cuddle bug who can't resist when his human companions are at a desk where we can plop all over them for attention.  Tiptoe is still getting acclimated to new people outside of his foster family, but once he warms up, you'll find it impossible to keep him off you. He would be so happy to have a cat friend to play with and has enjoyed the company of small dogs too!
