Story
Silky Sweet is a tiny bundle of joy wrapped up in soft fur and kitten energy. At around 7 months old, she’s at that perfect age where she’s playful, silly, curious, and unbelievably adorable all at the same time. This sweet girl absolutely loves to play. Toys are basically her favorite thing in the world. Toss a toy mouse, wave a wand toy, or roll a little ball across the floor and Silky Sweet will spring into action like a tiny acrobat. She hops, pounces, wiggles her little butt before launching into a surprise attack, and then looks very proud of herself afterward. Watch her YouTube video now! https://youtu.be/q5dIvchtJx8?si=0BP3w3HxjpiCMAiu But Silky Sweet isn’t just about playtime—she’s also a total sweetheart. After she’s had her fun, she’s more than happy to curl up nearby and enjoy some pets and attention. She has that classic kitten charm where she can go from zoomies to cuddles in a matter of minutes. Silky Sweet also has a very expressive personality. She’s the kind of kitty who will make you laugh with her goofy little antics, whether she’s chasing her own tail, dramatically flopping over for belly rubs, or investigating every corner of the room like a tiny detective. Living with Silky Sweet would mean a home filled with laughter, playtime, and lots of love. She’ll be your little shadow during the day, your entertainment in the evening, and your cozy companion when it’s time to relax. If you’ve been dreaming of a playful, affectionate kitten who brings endless happiness, Silky Sweet is ready to sprinkle a little extra sweetness into your life.

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 $600 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.

DISCLAIMER- Breed type is determined based on general appearance and behavioral characteristics, and cannot be guaranteed unless DNA test results were provided at intake.*

Story
Penny is both energetic and calm. She usually is sleeping throughout the day if she isn’t scoping out birds, squirrels, people and cars out the window. If you can’t find her, check a window or a dark corner — it’s either all or nothing. For a new home for Penny, it needs to be an inviting and patient home as she will be very shy in a new environment where she will hide for 3 days (exact) and eat at night when there is less noise. She’s well traveled from Maine to Massachusetts.

Story
Meet Chester! The adoption application can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat --- Chester is a charming gentleman with a big personality and an even bigger heart. If you are looking for a cat who truly adores people, Chester is you guy. He's incredibly affectionate, not shy in the slightest, and will happily soak up every bit of attention you're willing to give. In fact, he insists on it. Chester loves to curl up right on top of you, shower you with little kisses, and be held like a baby-he's all about closeness and connection. In fact, sometimes he's so overwhelmed by his feelings he will give you a little "love nip". It's a cute trait, but can be alarming to a new cat owner who isn't expecting it ;) --- Chester is neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in great health, despite his FIV+ diagnosis. He does a great job of keeping his litterbox tidy. All he needs now is his forever home! Chester gets along well with other cats and would likely enjoy a feline companion. He hasn't been around dogs or children and due to his "love bites", he'd do best in a home without young kids. If you're ready for a cuddly, affectionate, slightly mischievous best friend, Chester is waiting to meet you! --- *Chester is FIV+ What is FIV? https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv *Chester can safely live with other cats, as the risk of FIV transmission is extremely low, especially in stable, non-aggressive households. Cats with FIV can live long, healthy lives with proper care, including regular annual vet visits. To ensure his continued health, Chester must remain an indoor-only cat. Chester is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, or locations along their route. --- ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: Our adoption fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and transportation costs. Also, when you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you’re doing more than giving your new family member a home. Each adoption fee sponsors a cat on the streets of Houston to get fixed, helping end the cycle of overpopulation in a rough environment. We thank you so much for your contribution to our efforts!
