Oreo fue rescatado hace 1 mes, pues la vecina lo tiro a la calle cuando se mudó. Entiendo que tiene 1año, porque se de el desde que lo tenia ella. Busco una persona que le brinde amor. Oreo es juguetón, le gusta comer y es super cariñoso. Le gusta que le tiren besitos, pues lo acostumbre a eso. Hace sus necesidades en la arena.

Story
Meet Thelma Biscuits, an adorable tabby kitten with a gentle spirit, a playful personality, and an enormous amount of love packed into one tiny package. Watch how cute she is: https://youtu.be/osxfM5_wU9Y According to her foster, Thelma is the most affectionate kitten in her litter, and she certainly knows how to make her people feel loved. She is the one waiting to greet her fosters when they come home from work, ready to welcome them back and get some attention. Thelma doesn’t just want to live in the same house as her family — she wants to be part of their lives. Take a look at her video to see this cutie in action! https://youtu.be/osxfM5_wU9Y And if being beside you isn’t quite close enough, Thelma has another solution: your shoulder. This sweet girl will happily ride around perched on her foster’s shoulder, taking in the world from one of her favorite spots. She even does well on car rides, making her quite the adaptable little companion. Thelma is very social and seems to make herself at home quickly. She currently lives in a foster home with multiple cats and dogs and does wonderfully around children, so she already has experience being part of a busy household. She could be a fantastic addition to a family with other pets, kids, or simply people who want an affectionate kitten involved in everyday life. She has a playful side, too, but Thelma approaches play with the same gentle nature she brings to everything else. She isn’t a rough-and-tumble kind of kitten and has a softer play style that makes her especially sweet to watch and interact with. What really stands out about Thelma is how naturally loving she is. Some cats like to keep a little distance and observe their families from across the room. Thelma would much rather be involved. Whether she is playing, riding on your shoulder, greeting you after a long day, or simply spending time nearby, she seems happiest when she can be close to the people she loves. Thelma Biscuits is social, gentle, playful, adaptable, and incredibly affectionate. She already knows how to make herself part of a family — now she just needs to find the one she can call her own. If you’ve been hoping for a kitten who will be genuinely excited when you walk through the door, Thelma might just be your girl. Apply to adopt Thelma Biscuits through the Three Little Pitties Rescue adoption application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/three-little-pitties-rescue/application-form/62cc8e148b02916730334476/adoption/6a5e6731122dbba9b10d5849.

Our cats are brought to you in style by a beautiful private bus, equipped with air conditioning for comfort, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24-hour care. Pick-up day is unforgettable! You will get to follow along on their journey through a private Facebook Event page, where you will see photos, have the opportunity to connect with other adopters, and receive updates and constant communication along the way. One of our Adoption Coordinators can help to find the closest transport pick-up location to you! The adoption fee is $650 and includes all vetting: FVRCP vaccines (minimum of 2 but could be more depending on age and time in the program), FeLV vaccines, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, combo tested, extended medical such as dentals, eye surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries prior to adoption when suggested by our partner vets, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a health certificate deeming the kitty healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and many priceless years of love and loyal companionship! 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 $87 surcharge for transport. DISCLAIMER- Breed type is determined based on general appearance and behavioral characteristics, and cannot be guaranteed unless DNA test results were provided at intake.*

Baby has a brother named Duke listed here. We would like them to go to their new home together. They lost their person about a month ago and we need to find them someplace to live before their house gets sold. They are both very shy around strangers but very cuddly and loving towards their person. We are willing to supply a year of food and litter to help with the care and feeding of these boys. Thank you!

Story
Whisper is my name, but no need to keep that a secret. When I’m looking for attention or a plate of food, I will surely let you know it. I love looking out the window and watching the birds fly by and I’d never refuse a chance to play with a laser or cat wand. I would really prefer to be your one and only kitty, but I’ve lived with a small polite dog before. Just think, you could have my cute face looking up at you all the time!If you are interested in adopting Whisper, please fill out a feline adoption application at: meridenhumanesocietyrescue.comIf you are interested in adopting Whisper, please apply at: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=meridenhumanesociety&method=online_form_html&formid=28
