Story
Binx is half of a bonded pair, his brother is a grey short haired cat named Indie! Binx is a sweet and shy boy, loud noises and small children frighten him, but if you go slow and give him some time he'll be chirping for pets in no time! Binx was found as a stray kitten in California and our intention has always been to find him a loving home. He loves to follow his brother around, nap in the windowsill, and loves a good feathered toy. So far he doesn't seem to enjoy babies or toddlers, but older children were fine. He is great with dogs, he is ok with other cats but often shy/fearful at first, and loves to watch fish! Binx is such a gentle and loving boy, but as much as we love him and his brother, we just think their needs will be better met with a family that has more time to spend with them!

Story
Blacky has been a community cat in our neighborhood for several years. Over time he has become very friendly and now regularly cries to be let indoors. We’d love to find him a home where he can be indoor or indoor/outdoor before the cold weather really sets in. Blacky has a clipped ear and has been neutered and received shots, though he has not had regular vet care. We are having him tested for FeLV and FIV this week for peace of mind. Please consider adopting this sweet and loving kitty!

Story
Silas is a character and I love him dearly, but despite all efforts he is too rambunctious for my resident cat. He likes to lay on top of the pillow by your head and will purr to no end. Very food motivated and clingy. Extremely playful. He would probably get along great with an another boy his age, but not my 5 year old girl. Perhaps best as only cat. He is 8 months old and a big guy already. It breaks my heart to do this, but I am hoping I can find someone who loves him as much as I do.

Story
Pugsley is a handsome boy with LOTS of energy. He enjoys treats, sprinting around the house, and late night snuggle sessions. He has FIC which is a urinary issue. Due to this he is on a RX gel that lowers his PH balance. He will need this everyday for the rest of his life. It is not expensive but is something to look out for. Beyond that he is the most perfect bud, that would love a home that can make him the center of attention.

Story
Mocha’s story started in my backyard, where he was found with his mama and two siblings. He was the only orange kitten in the litter — his siblings were grey — and that made him feel extra special from the start. Mocha is about 2 months old, an indoor kitten, and he absolutely loves to play. He’s curious, energetic, and has a gentle personality that makes him easy to love. I’m looking for a new home for him where he can be comfortable, happy, and less stressed. He deserves a family who can give him plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm environment to grow in.

Story
Meet Poppy – A Sweetheart Looking for Her FURever Home (indoor cat) Poppy has had a tough start in life, but she’s ready for a fresh chapter with someone who has a big heart and lots of patience. She's spayed and fully vaccinated, and she’s litterbox trained. Poppy comes with her own toys, cozy blankets, and even a cat tree she absolutely loves! She’s a gentle soul who enjoys purring, playing with her toys, and getting back scratches (she’ll roll over and purr for those!). Poppy is currently on affordable kitty Prozac and prescription food to help her feel calm due to being beaten up by the neighbor's other cat. She’s been through a lot—three homes in a short time. My neighbor dumped her, and my co-worker adopted her, but then left the marital home and the cat, and needs someone compassionate who can help her rebuild trust. If you’re looking for a loving companion and are willing to give her the time and care she deserves, Poppy will reward you with endless love and gratitude.

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 $74 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.*
