Story
(Central Texas Adoption Only) Meet Batgirl, a gentle and resilient kitty with a heart as soft as her fur! This sweet girl was rescued from the streets, where she struggled to survive as a starving stray. Despite her tough beginnings, Batgirl has blossomed into a loving and affectionate companion who's ready to find her forever home. Her fur is an elegant mix of white, with delicate patches of gray and black tabby markings-reminiscent of a sesame dumpling, which inspired her adorable nickname. Her coat is exceptionally soft, making cuddle sessions all the more special. Batgirl may need a little time to adjust to her new surroundings, but once she settles in, she will be deeply dedicated to her person. She has a gentle spirit and just needs a little patience as she transitions into her new home. When she's comfortable, she'll be your loyal companion, following you around with love in her eyes. If you're looking for a kitty who's as sweet as she is beautiful and who's ready for a second chance at life, Batgirl is your perfect match.

I’m a quiet guy. That means you better come find me because I’m probably into something. There’s so much to explore! I like to sleep beside you and watch you work, though I’m told I can’t sit right in front of the monitor. My sister and I would love to explore every inch of your house. Can we? ##1968371##

Meet Layla  – The Sweet Tabby Who Just Wants to Be Loved  Layla has truly blossomed in her foster home. Now that she’s settled in, she’s revealed her inner love bug! She enjoys playing with toys, seeks out affection, and loves spending time curled up on her foster’s lap. This beautiful 3–4-year-old tabby spent much of the last year and a half in an outdoor crate due to a family allergy. Her young owner adored her but is leaving for college, and Layla is now ready for the forever home she’s always deserved. Layla is affectionate, gentle, and people-oriented. She would thrive as the only pet in a calm home where she can soak up all the love and attention she’s missed. ##2450131##

Did you know Halloween hobbit-kittens exist!? Meet Frodo, the bat-cat half of a fantastic furry footed duo.  Much like his namesake, this little guy has been through some trials. He and his sister Samwise were found abandoned around 10 days old. However, despite initially being small for his size, Frodo has grown into a strong and snuggly goblin kitty! His sister Samwise was fiercely protective of her smaller brother and he absolutely adores her.  Frodo is brave and curious. One of his favorite companions in his foster home is the 100lb pitbull who thinks kittens are the best things in the world. Frodo also is very hard to scare. He grew up with chaos and a determination to destroy the vacuum. Someday it will hold still long enough for him to take it down. He also loves to help put sheets on a bed (his idea of helping isna little different from his foster mom's though!). He also loves cuddles. Snuggled naps with people or Samwise are top tier in his mind. Frodo is highly bonded to his sister Samwise and they will need to be adopted together. Samwise does have special needs. Please fully review her profile prior to inquiring about adoption. Samwise's Profile  ##2380446##

Story
Austin Siamese Rescue offers courtesy listings in an effort to assist cat owners in finding loving, responsible homes for their pets. This cat is not part of our foster program and is not under the direct care of Austin Siamese Rescue.  For further information on this cat, please contact the caretaker directly at  levamokhtari@gmail.com Garfield is a gentle, vocal orange tabby who spent his early life outdoors before finding safety with a kind foster. He’s now looking for a quiet, loving indoor home where he can truly settle in. He’s sweet, affectionate, and loves lounging on couches, cat trees, or by sunny windows. Garfield is very human-friendly and enjoys being petted and cuddled—he’ll even meow (at length!) when he wants attention or food. His activity level is low, and he’s happy relaxing most of the day. Garfield does have FIV, but he's otherwise stable and doesn’t require medication.  While great with people (including children), Garfield is best suited as the only pet, as he can be territorial around other animals—especially when it comes to food and space. He’s litterbox trained, not particularly playful, but might enjoy noisy toys or rolling balls. He’s adjusted well to indoor life, though he occasionally gets a bit stir-crazy after years outside. If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate cat with a big personality and a bigger heart, Garfield is ready to love you back tenfold. Austin Siamese Rescue assumes no responsibility for the veracity of the listing or the conduct of the caretaker in the listing. ##2411693##

This is Yuna! Shes around 5 years old, I got her off Craigslist a few years back. Recently my allergies kicked up, I dont have alot of time to play with her recently and with the allergies im miserable when im around too long. I held out for 2 years thinking they would get better but they've gotten worse. Yuna would be much happier in a home with someone who can cuddle and play with her, shes sweet and affectionate, a bit shy at first but once she warms up to you very playful!

Story
We adopted Ms Batty about 4 years ago making her 9 years old. Her owner had passed and she was in bad shape. She has the cutest meow and loves nothing more than to rub her two large front teeth on you. She is affectionate, stunning to look at, and is the Queen B of the house. She does alright with kids strongly dislikes dogs and cats and has no problem initiating a fight with ether and winning. She loves men and women but she’s a daddy’s girl for sure. Loves to lay on your chest as well as cuddle. She is not a fan of being picked up. She loves her food and is fairly inpatient for meal times. Batty has had toileting issues since we’ve had her. The vet cannot find anything medically wrong with her but she’s been having bowl movements outside of the litter box and it’s mostly on clothing items or specific spots on the floor. Recently when she comes to cuddle in our bed with us she’s fine and sleeps through the night but she’s started urinating on top of us. Message for more Questions. Thx

I’m looking to rehome my sweet girl Lucy, a 9.5-year-old cat who was adopted from AAC in 2016. Why am I looking to rehome Lucy? She was diagnosed with diabetes in July 2025. She needs a home that can fully meet her medical needs long-term and has a more predictable routine/schedule. I feel overwhelmed and helpless in managing her diabetes care when I’ve already got 3 young kids and a super busy schedule. This decision comes from a place of love and wanting what is best for her. About Lucy: Age: 9.5 years Personality: Sweet but shy, curious, loves snuggles and sunbathing Temperament: Calm and enjoys a predictable routine Indoor only (fully declawed) No issues with kids, cats, or other dogs. Medical Needs: Diabetic (July 2025) Requires insulin and blood sugar monitoring I am happy to share about current treatment, costs, etc. This is not urgent and I am looking for a good home for my sweet kitty

I’m rehoming a very special cat who is ready to bring warmth and love into your life. He’s a 13-year-old orange sweetheart, up-to-date on vaccines, and incredibly cuddly. Once you lay down, he loves curling up right on top of you, soaking in all the pets and affection. He’s calm, gentle, and very laid-back, perfect for a quiet household. He’s been through a little trauma and can be shy at first, but once he feels safe, he’ll be your most loyal companion. He’ll thrive in a calm environment with someone who appreciates his mellow nature. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving, and calm feline friend, this gentle boy could be the perfect addition to your home. Please reach out if you’re interested in meeting him or learning more. He has lived with 2 other cats before. I can provide his stainless steel litter box, toys, and 6mo flea medication.
