Story
This pretty kitty is Lady. She is one-year-old and weighs 9 lb. Lady has a soft shorthaired shiny black coat. Lady was surrendered to us when her owner could no longer care for her. She has a super sweet personality and loves people. She enjoys pets and attention and is an outgoing girl who is also cuddly. Her left eye is slowly healing with eyedrops after a presumed trauma in her past. The eye causes her no discomfort and we hope it will continue to clear until it is just a minor corneal scar. Lady is good with other cats and is going to make someone an awesome companion! Lady is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and healthy. She is litterbox trained. Her adoption fee is $240. If you would like to meet/adopt Lady, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-online-adoption-application/ or stop by our shelter. We are open 10 AM to 4 PM seven days a week. The DAWS shelter address is 147 Grassy Plain St. Bethel. Email daws@daws.org with questions or if you wish to schedule an after-hours appointment. Lady can't wait to meet you!

Why adopt from Three Little Pitties? The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is the highest in the nation. Statistics show that there are over 1 million homeless animals in this region alone. Three Little Pitties Rescue is a nonprofit dog and cat rescue that partners with the community to make a difference. Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and saving all breeds of dogs and cats from the streets or animal shelters that oftentimes have no other option but to euthanize animals for space. This kitty you’ve found online is lucky to be in our program, and even luckier to have you notice it! Three Little Pitties Rescue (3LP) wants to set you and your new family member up for success! In addition to a fully vetted furbaby you also receive other additional perks such as a code for a free bag of cat litter AND a code for 50% off a 2nd bag of litter from Catalyst Pet, coupons for a fun visit to Petco, and support through our Facebook Adopters group where you can connect with thousands of other adopters, 3LP volunteers, fosters and staff. We seek to adopt to families who understand that these are rescues and will require continued efforts but are well on their way to being the best kitties that they can be! We ask that you give them time (can take weeks to months) to decompress in their new home, do slow introductions to other pets and let their true personalities have a chance to come through. We celebrated our 7 year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 16,000 very lucky dogs and cats into amazing homes! By adopting from us, you save TWO lives! The pet you adopt, and you create an opportunity for another animal to be saved in that spot. Together, we can be heroes. Follow our rescue journey through the links below! https://www.facebook.com/ThreeLittlePittiesRescueSavingKitties/ https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue/ https://www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue/ *Due to the rising cost of fuel and transportation expenses, there will be an additional $86 surcharge for transport.

Story
A few years back I had picked up Pablo off of the street in my neighborhood after a family had left him. Pablo is estimated to be about nine years old. Pablo has always been a loving cat, always wanting to be pet, always wanting attention and great with people and children alike. In the early years of having Pablo I also had another cat and they would be fine together, although Pablo’s playful nature sometimes clash with the other cat. Pablo’s only worries in life is when feeding time comes around in the morning and afternoon. He loves to eat. when it came to grooming, He always let me cut his nails and shower him. He never gave any fuss which is surprising for a cat. Pablo is good with most animals, especially cats. He is very good with dogs, but due to his playful nature sometimes that is too much for certain pets. We believe that with ample room for Pablo and pets that are okay with his playful nature would be best for his needs. He is “THE CHILL CAT” with a sprinkle of playful.

Story
We acquired our pet from a friend of ours but ever since we took another cat into the home he’s been attacking them randomly. One moment they’ll be sitting together and the next he will just attack. The other cat gave birth and he attacked her and from then on we have decided that we cant risk having him here anymore. By himself, he's cool and fun to play with but with any other animal, he becomes a little hostile. So if you take him in, please be careful with him around other pets.
