Story
I am a cute petite kitten. I am sweet, playful and love to be held like a baby. I enjoy the attention of my human. I could be nervous with new people and new environment. I live in a foster home with other kittens at the moment. I am looking for a forever home with cat lovers and a companion cat (if possible) because I love play time. I could be adopted with one of my play mates such Ginger boy or Marcel, also in this website. I am unsure about dogs but cat-friendly dogs may be a possibility. If you are looking for a cute kitten, write to my foster human to Adoptablecatshouston@gmail.com for more information on how to adopt me.November 10, 2025, 6:47 pm

Story
Big and Tall, friendly, people-loving catI am a gentle giant and confident cat. I like to cuddle and snuggle with my human. I love attention, being petted, belly rubs and lot of treats I walk funny, sometimes it is hard to control my back legs and they go to the sides. it looks like I am dancing Can-Can. The vet said I am a 'wobble baby', that means I was born with a condition that affects my balance. I don't remember being different, my legs don't bother me to walk, play or using the litter box. I have good litter box etiquette, I just walk and jump funny. I could walk and run everywhere I want in the house. I have a normal life like other cats. I don't require special care, just love and affection. Contact my foster human at Adoptablecatshouston@gmail.com for more information on how to adopt me.February 22, 2025, 8:50 pm

Affectionate, friendly, easygoing, vocalVery friendly, sometimes vocal and loves human attention. Exotic look with thick short coat and the most beautiful swirl marks. Papi's human Dad passed away and he moved to live in a foster home, although he is ok with other cats he craves human attention and would like to live in a home where he could be pampered as his previous human Dad used to do to him. Papi is 6 years old and still has lots of love to give. Papi is sweet and loving companion for those retires or those that work from home. He may not be good with active dogs or young kids because gets nervous. A stress-free environment would be ideal for him. Contact us to Adoptablecatshouston@gmail.com, if you could provide a home for this sweet boy and help him to amend his broken heart.February 7, 2025, 6:13 pm

Story
Hi, I am Christopher, a loving and delightful kitten. I am sweet and playful like normal kitten but I do enjoy being carried and hug by my human mom. I consider myself very lucky because I was found at a nursery home hiding within boxes of Christmas ornaments. Nobody knows how I ended there, but I was rescued just on time and brought to safety. Perhaps I am a Christmas Miracle. I am temporarily living in a foster home with other sweet cats and growing confident and charming every day. I would love to be adopted with a companion cat so I don’t feel lonely in a new place. Please ask my foster humans about how to adopt me by writing to Adoptablecatshouston@gmail.com Best, Christopher (a.k.a sweetheart)November 10, 2025, 6:47 pm

Story
MELTS IN YOUR ARMS WHEN YOU HUG HIM  DOB 8/1/24 Hey there, everyone! I’m Hermes, a friendly, loving, and easygoing solid-white fella except for the gray thumbprints on the crown of my head. My big gold-coin eyes half-close in ecstasy and I melt in Foster Meowmy’s arms when she holds and hugs me. I trust her so much that I roll over to invite her to give me the gentle belly rubs that I enjoy so much. I’m the largest of my litter, so I’m a big eater who doesn’t even mind when she pets me while I’m dining. I run up to greet her when she opens the door because I know that playtime will begin soon. I’m not particular about toys because they’re all fun as far as I’m concerned. I even find it entertaining when Foster Meowmy scoops the litter box, and I try to be her little helper. My feral-kitty momma birthed my #charming-four litter (Ash, Caramel, Humphrey, and me) inside of Foster Meowmy’s garage. We lived outside until we were ready to be weaned, and Foster Meowmy noticed that I always was the kind, brave Big Brother who protected my smaller siblings while momma was out hunting. When Foster Meowmy trapped/ spayed/ and released Momma, she brought us kittens inside to the safe haven of her home and promised to find us fantastic forever homes. Now I’m ready to share my joy, humor, and affection with my forever family. Could that be with you? Arrange to meet me today! My heart has SO MUCH love to give – all I need is YOU! If you’re looking to adopt a “matched pair,” consider adopting me with my twin sister Ash. (She even has the gray thumbprints on her head too!) Although we’re available separately, we think it’d be the cat’s meow if we could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation. HOPE ID 25-0329-C021 Hermes' $125 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites. To apply online: http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site Hermes will be this week-end, email us at nancy.e.kline@hotmail.com, and a volunteer will get back to you.

Story
HAS ASH-WEDNESDAY THUMBPRINT ON HER HEAD  DOB 8/1/24 Hey there, everyone! I’m Ash (aka Ash Wednesday), a refined, graceful, and petite solid-white princess except for the gray thumbprint on the crown of my head (like one might get on Ash Wednesday.) I must admit that when my large, pale jade-green eyes lock into yours, I’m pretty irresistible. Like any sheltered damsel, I was initially shy, docile, and gentle when I met Foster Meowmy. Once I felt confident around her, I became very loving and turned on my purr motor full blast to tell her so! Now I’m very friendly with her and run to greet her at the door so I can plant my pheromones on her feet and legs. My feral-kitty momma birthed my #charming-four litter (Hermes, Caramel, Humphrey, and me) inside of Foster Meowmy’s garage. We lived outside until we were ready to be weaned, and that’s when Foster Meowmy trapped/ spayed/ and released Momma and brought us kittens inside to the safe haven of her home and promised to find us fantastic forever homes. I love to play with my siblings and then collapse in a kitten puddle when we’re exhausted. Now I’m ready to share my sweet, patient temperament and affection with my forever family. Could that be with you? Arrange to meet me today! I promise to leave tiny paw prints all over your heart. If you’re looking to adopt a “matched pair,” consider adopting me with my twin brother Hermes. (He even has TWO gray thumbprints on his head!) Although we’re available separately, we think it’d be the cat’s meow if we could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation. HOPE ID 25-0329-C022 Ash's $125 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites. To apply online: http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site Ash will be this week-end, email us at nancy.e.kline@hotmail.com, and a volunteer will get back to you.
