Story
Hopscotch 🧡🐾 Orange Tabby Boy Hopscotch is a curious little orange tabby who marches to the beat of his own drum. He’s very much an independent toddler type — happy to explore, play, and observe the world on his own terms — but every day he’s showing more of his sweet personality as he comes out of his shell. Hopscotch enjoys playing with his foster siblings and would truly thrive in a home with another friendly kitty to show him the ropes and keep him company. While he’s not a fan of being picked up, he’s learning to trust and will come to you when he’s ready for pets, making those moments extra special. When he’s not batting toys around or tucked away in his favorite kitty house, you can find Hopscotch eagerly awaiting the best parts of the day: breakfast, snack, and dinner (food is very serious business for this guy 😄). Hopscotch is perfect for someone who appreciates a cat with independence, a gentle heart, and a playful spirit — and who understands that the best relationships grow with patience and time. If you’re looking to add a thoughtful, playful companion to a cat-friendly home, Hopscotch may be the perfect fit. 🧡

Story
🐾 **Meet Mother Goose: A Tale of Whiskers and Wonder** Once upon a time, on a warm Texas morn, A dear little cat was weary and worn. She wandered the streets, round San Antonio town, With a belly quite round and her spirits down. But lo! Kind hearts at Charming Pet came near, Gave her shelter and love, wiped away every tear. 'Twas there she gave birth to her sweet kitten crew, And raised them with grace as good mothers do. Now her tale takes a turn, a new chapter awaits— No more bustling nursery, no baby debates. At just 2 or 3, she’s full of delight, With a sunny-day nap and cuddles at night. She’s gentle, she’s kind, a heart full of cheer, And not at all picky when it’s dinnertime, dear. Playful and warm, with a charm so divine, She’ll curl at your feet and make your life shine. So if you’ve a home where a queen might repose, Mother Goose will gift you love that overflows. Her nest is now empty, her job is complete— She’s looking for you, to make her life sweet. 📜 Adopt Mother Goose, and let your story begin.

Story
Meet O Brother Where Art Thou! This 6-month-old orange tabby boy might start off a little shy, but once he’s comfortable, his playful spirit takes over. If there’s mischief or chaos in the air, you can count on him to be right in the middle of it—pouncing, chasing, and stirring up fun with his kitten friends. He’s the perfect mix of sweet and silly: a soft-hearted boy who needs a little time to trust, but once he does, he’ll keep you laughing with his antics. Whether it’s batting toys, wrestling with other cats, or finding creative ways to entertain himself, O Brother is always up for a good time. If you’re looking for a playful partner in crime with a tender side, O Brother Where Art Thou might just be your match.

Story
Peat is a female cat who was born on a farm and is in fact inbred she is 1 years old and was born in April. She is not good with people and has horrible behavioral issues but she can be so sweet every once in a while which makes me think she truly has potential in being a great cat, she just needs an experienced owner. She growls, hisses, attacks, bites, scratches, etc. We have tried to get her to the vet but we are unable to pick her up or get her into a pet carrier. This is honestly our last hope for her to get help. We have tried playing with her, not touching her, petting her, picking up and petting her a lot as a kitten, and non of these things have been successful. She needs a home who is experienced and patient enough to work with her and hopefully get her the help she very desperately needs. If you adopt her we can give you an automatic timed feeder, a cat water fountain, and lots of toys she enjoys.

Story
Whiney came to me as a fosters foster at 2 days old. My cat had just lost her kittens so she fostered her and her brother Thackery they are a bounded pair and do everything together. I won't let them go separately. perfect for the person that wants to say they have companionship without actually having to interact. Great mousers... Not fighters and love other cats. I have a small older dog they don't have an issue with. I think with a quiet home they will come around!! They aren't violent or aggressive and are house broke. They just need a shot. I restate they are a bonded pair. Not Farrel but super skittish but a quiet pair that are content with you being you if they can be them! House broke never been outside. Great for the loner just looking to have someone to talk to so they don't look like they are talking to themselves.
