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.

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.

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

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.

EASY-GOING LOVEBUG  DOB 9/1/21 Howdy everyone! I’m Indy, a handsome, easy-going black DSH/ Bombay mix dude with a sleek, shiny patent-leather coat and big, copper-penny eyes. It took me a while to learn that being petted, chin scratches, and lap time with my foster dad might just be a good thing. My momma Luna led the way, so I started curling up on my foster dad’s warm chest for a quick power nap and discovered that it was pretty delightful. My favorite pastimes include following my foster dad into the bathroom (Bombay mixes can be very dog-like), looking handsome, and watching the world go by as I bask in a patch of sunshine on a windowsill. My favorite likes are dry food, toys with tassels, and warm beds.  Arrange to meet me today. Find out if YOUR chest could be my next napping station! https://photos.app.goo.gl/9LhdD26NmAhzMUtGA HOPE ID 21-1204-C089 Indy'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.

DEMANDS ENDLESS HOURS OF LOVING ATTENTION  DOB 1/11/23 Hey everyone! I’m Tomm, a very quiet, calm, and handsome – if I do say so myself – 12-pound Bombay mix fella with a sleek, shiny black patent-leather coat and big golden-globe eyes. I’m one of those Velcro boys who loves to stick close to Foster Meowmy where I can demand endless hours of gentle stroking and loving ear-scritches. My brothers Jerry, Jax, and I, a.k.a. #3-mousketeers, were less than a year old when we showed up as homeless strays in Foster Meowmy’s neighborhood. Initially she trapped, neutered, and released us. After about a year of feeding us, when her last foster kitten had been adopted, she decided that, with a little time and patience, we’d make wonderful indoor companion pets. It did take a while for her to earn my trust, but once she did (thanks to treat rewards!), I’m now all hers!! Boy howdy! With 20-20 hindsight, I much prefer brimming food/ water bowls and climate-controlled indoor life. My foster home is like an oasis from battling Houston’s derechos, hurricanes, and winter storms. The hardscrabble outdoor life is for the birds! I have some catching-up to do as a young adult fella because playing with toys is an all-new adventure for me! But I’ll get there! Could you be the next person who snakes the wand-toy around the room for me to chase or waves it over my head to lunge at? Or perhaps you have a tower of balls to enrapture me? Catnip mice and crinkle balls for me to display my talents as a soccer striker? Then I’m the man for you! Although we’re available separately, please consider adopting me with Jax. He’s shy and initially fearful, but, as his BFF, I help make him feel safe. Arrange to meet me (and Jax, for that matter!) today! I can’t wait to meet you! HOPE ID 25-0110-M011 Tomm'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.

SHINY PATENT-LEATHER COAT AND COPPER-PENNY EYES  DOB 9/7/25 Hey there, everyone! I’m Mark, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate Bombay mix fella with a sleek, shiny patent-leather coat and copper-penny eyes. I’m a Velcro kitty who's very attached to my hoomans and adore spending quality time with them – whether it’s cuddling or following them around to help with their chores. Innately curious, I explore every nook and cranny around my foster home. A Good Samaritan spotted some apartment kids playing with my sister Peace and me when we were just two weeks old. She snatched us away from the kids and brought us to Foster Meowmy, who tag-teamed with other HOPE volunteers to bottle-feed us day and night until we were weaned. Being handled so much while I was young helped me to love and trust hoomans so much. I grew up to be a healthy, happy little boy who tumbles and pounces, climbs and wrestles with my sister Peace as well as the half-dozen other foster kittens who are all about my age. Plus the adult resident cats served as my surrogate aunts and uncles because they taught me everything momma would've taught me if she'd been around. Now I’m ready to bring my winsome friendliness and loyal companionship to bless my forever family. Could that be you? If you’re looking for a pair of kittens, consider adopting me with my sister Peace. Or just ask Foster Meowmy if you can take your pick of another of her half-dozen foster kittens. Although I’m available separately, I think it’d be the cat’s meow if another kitten I already know could be my playmate and cuddle buddy while you’re at work or on vacation. Arrange to meet me today! HOPE ID 25-1026-G261 Mark’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.
