Story
Hello ! This is Toasty, a very affectionate almost 2 year old brown Tabby cat who would do anything to get lap time with you! He's a very playful and energetic cat who loves cuddling, snuggling and ESPECIALLY playing! His favorite toys are crinkle ones and pretty much any string toy he can chase around. He loves sitting on a windowsill and looking outside and people watching more than anything and will also nudge your shoulder or vocally tell you he wants play time. I'm in desperate need to rehome him as unfortunately as I do not have the time or energy to keep up with the playtime and affection he needs as I am a caretaker for both my elderly father and my younger sister. Due to my fathers declining health i'm in more need to rehome him ASAP, as I can not provide for him. Please message for further inquiries but I am extremely flexible.

Story
Zeus was found outdoors by a friend of mine that wasn't able to keep him so I took him in. Sadly from his vet visits they're assumption is that he was a house cat that became an outdoor cat. Zeus can very playful and a very independent companion. He's also perfectly happy to be laying down snuggled up with you in his eyesight. He's also a fan of toys and playtime and can become very active. He is a HUGE fan of the floor mat scratching pads. With the right set up Zeus can become a fun and loyal companion.

Story
Introducing Arica! Born in late April, Arica is a beautiful, brown tabby girl with a playful spirit and a gentle heart. She loves chasing springs, balls, and crinkly toys, especially when her brother Arnie or foster friend, Rosemary is involved. Arica is the adventurous one of the bunch, always curious and exploring. She purrs when petted and has the sweetest little meows when she wants your attention. She needs a minute to get comfortable with new people and isn’t a fan of loud noises. However, once she feels comfortable, she is your best friend. She would thrive in a quieter home with school-aged children or older, and would love to be adopted with her brother, Arnie, her friend, Rosemary, or into a home with another friendly cat or kitten who enjoys running around and having lots of fun. Are you ready to add a little love and playfulness to your life? Arica is waiting for you! All cats & kittens are up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, fixed, and FeLV/FIV tested. Adoption fee is a minimum $85 per kitten donation to Feral Fixers. Discounted adoption fee if two kittens are adopted together, $150 for a pair. A brief screening questionnaire and contract apply!

Story
Lotsa Meows has lotsa love to share! He’s a handsome 4 month old brown tabby boy with a unique mix of swirls and stripes, and a stunningly handsome face. He is friendly and loves to play and make new friends. He runs to see his foster parents when they come home from work, and likes to enjoy the company of the household. He is 100% pure joy, and will love and adore you every minute of the day. When it’s time to sleep, Lotsa likes to snuggle up with his foster mom and snore (yes, he snores!) softly and peacefully. Lotsa enjoys a good meal and is not picky about food. He likes to chase little mouse toys and bat at the string on a wand toy. Lotsa also loves his little sister, Lollie, and together they chase and wrestle, and then settle in for a nap. They have a favorite napping spot on a blue chair, and he is a good big brother who sleeps on the outside, protecting her while she snoozes. She hides behind him when they have visited the vet, and he takes good care of his little sister. They would like to find a home together! They both enjoyed making friends with the resident cats in their foster home, and were loving, playful and affectionate from the beginning. They both learned how to use the One Fast Cat Wheel, and the Litter Robot in their foster home. They are smart cookies, and will be a delightful addition to a lucky family! All cats & kittens are up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, fixed, and FeLV/FIV tested. Adoption fee is a minimum $110 per kitten donation to Feral Fixers. Discounted adoption fee if two kittens are adopted together, $175 for a pair. A brief screening questionnaire and contract apply!

Story
God's Dogs Rescue plus Kitties does NOT transport any cats or kittens in or out of the state of Texas. It is too stressful for the cats or kittens to be transported long distances, especially when enclosed in a vehicle containing dogs and puppies. Thank you for your understanding. Good with cats/dogs? Unknown. Good with kids? Unknown, but I think she'd be better in a home with no kids. She is pretty chill most of the time. She took to being inside like she belonged there. She is litterbox trained. She's not very playful yet, but lately she's started playing with some toys on her own or playing with the kittens, though she tends to stop if she sees me watching. She's loves to be petted but is also just as happy to sleep somewhere nearby or lay where she can look out the window. She loves to be petted. However, sometimes she'll get irritated by a hand in her face or if you reach over her and she does not like being bent over or having your face near her. Most of the time she'll leave when she gets irritated, but sometimes she bats or snaps(she has only ever done this to my hands), however she is extremely gentle when she does. She doesn't want to hurt you, she just wants you to stop whatever it is she doesn't like. She loves food. When I first saw her she wouldn't come near me, but she became instantly friendly when I started feeding her. Feeding her anything is probably the best way to earn her approval, but she really likes any kind of meaty snacks. We usually use chicken which is good enough, but her absolute favorite thing is brisket. I honestly think her ideal home is with someone with no kids or other pets and who will be happy with a cat that will just hang out nearby and want to be petted sometimes. I'm pretty sure she had the kittens in a bush on the side of the house and then later moved them to the porch, which is when I discovered them.

God's Dogs Rescue plus Kitties does NOT transport any cats or kittens in or out of the state of Texas. It is too stressful for the cats or kittens to be transported long distances, especially when enclosed in a vehicle containing dogs and puppies. Thank you for your understanding. Sweet, snuggly, and endlessly playful. Mr. Big is the perfect mix of cuddles and curiosity — he’ll happily curl up in your lap for a snuggle, then switch into play mode chasing toy wands and showing off his acrobatic leaps. He’s affectionate and loves gentle scratching and soft purring sessions. He also likes to "make biscuits" (knead) before settling in for a nap. He is good with adults, kids who know how to handle cats gently, and other friendly, social cats. He is seeking a loving home with regular playtime, cozy spots to nap, and a few interactive toys and climbing spaces (feather wands, crinkly toys, and tunnels are his favorites). He thrives with short play sessions and soft, calming voices. His ideal adopter is someone who wants an affectionate companion who brings both energy and calm — perfect for families, singles, or couples who enjoy both lap time and playful antics.
