I’m moving and sadly I cannot take my baby Luna with me. She’s a very sweet cat with a lot of personality. She loves a good nap and nice lap to sit in. She isn’t the most energetic cat but she loves being around people to observe lol. I’m looking for a nice place for her to move to.

Story
Papi Chulo's rescue began when a concerned community member found him wandering in Jarrell and believed his large belly indicated pregnancy. When we met him, we quickly realized the truth: the "belly" was actually over three pounds of severely matted fur, impacted with feces and restricting his movement. He was not microchipped, and despite efforts to locate an owner, no one came forward. As we worked to clean him up, we discovered he was actually a young, unaltered male Himalayan who had clearly been neglected. He was underweight, anemic from a severe flea infestation, suffering from an eye infection, and had a painful abdominal lump consistent with an old injury. A nearby neighbor later shared that he had been living outdoors for months with little shelter or care. Since entering rescue, Papi Chulo has flourished. His flea infestation and infections have been treated, his abdominal injury has improved. He has proven to be a resilient little survivor. After everything he's endured in his young life, Papi Chulo is now looking forward to the future he deserves- one filled with safety, comfort, and unconditional love. Papi Chulo has already endured more in his short life than any animal should, and because of that, we are committed to finding him an exceptionally thoughtful placement. His future family will need to understand that adoption is not about asking Papi to fit into their lifestyle- it is about creating an environment where he feels safe, respected, and secure on his own terms. While Papi is undeniably beautiful and receives inquiries almost daily, his appearance is only one small part of who he is. He is not a lap cat, nor is he the type of companion who seeks constant attention or physical affection. He does not enjoy being picked up or carried, and while he has never shown aggression, he is clear about his preference for personal space. He occasionally chooses to sleep at the foot of the bed, but more often he is happiest relaxing nearby rather than directly on top of his people. Papi is best described as a quiet, independent companion. He enjoys observing the world around him, appreciates a gentle chin scratch when offered on his terms, and thrives when allowed to move at his own pace. Because of this, he would likely do best in a calm adult home or one with older, cat-savvy children who can respect his boundaries. For the right person, Papi will be the perfect cat. But families seeking a highly social, affectionate cat may find that he is not the best match. What Papi needs most is someone who will love him exactly as he is- a resilient survivor with a gentle spirit, a strong sense of self, and a deep appreciation for the comfort of having a safe place to simply be.

Story
(Central Texas Adoption Only & Home Delivery)Meet Layan the Lion Boy — Your Fluffy Little ShadowLayan may currently be sporting a lion cut, but underneath that brave little lion exterior is one of the sweetest souls you’ll ever meet. 🦁🤍This handsome Himalayan boy came to us severely matted, so we had no choice but to shave his beautiful coat and give him a fresh start. But don’t worry—Layan is already working on growing back his magnificent fluff, one fabulous strand at a time!And then there’s that face. 😍 Layan has the most adorable little underbite, complete with one tiny tooth that permanently peeks out of his mouth. It gives him an expression that is equal parts distinguished gentleman, tiny lion, and lovable goofball.But Layan’s best feature is his personality.He is an incredibly sweet, devoted boy who wants to be wherever you are. Walk into another room? Layan is coming. Sit down? Layan will find you. Head to the kitchen? You now have a fluffy little escort. He is the kind of cat who becomes part of your everyday life—a constant companion and loyal little shadow.And while some cats consider brushing a personal insult, Layan absolutely loves it! For him, grooming time is bonding time, and regular brushing will be an important part of keeping his beautiful coat healthy as it grows back.Because of his breed-specific grooming and eye-care needs, Layan is looking for a home with someone who has previous experience caring for Persians, Himalayans, or similar flat-faced, long-haired breeds. Like many Persian-type cats, he does have ongoing eye issues that require regular care and attention.For the right person, Layan is something truly special. He’s sweet, funny, devoted, affectionate, and filled with personality. He may look like a tiny lion, but what he really wants is to follow his favorite human through life.Layan the Lion Boy is ready to find his person—and once he chooses you, we have a feeling you’ll never walk to another room alone again. 🦁🐾🤍Thank you for considering adopting one of our kittens/cats.

Story
Meet Mr. Grimley: A Gentleman of Very Particular TastesMr. Grimley arrived in our care as Mr. Grumpy—and, to be fair, he had every right to be. This handsome gentleman was battling an upper respiratory infection, his beautiful eyes were gooped up, he was underweight, and his lovely Himalayan/Persian coat was in desperate need of some attention.After medicine, a bath, a good brushing, and plenty of his beloved Royal Canin Mother & Babycat food, Mr. Grumpy began to disappear…and the very distinguished Mr. Grimley emerged. :tophat:Mr. Grimley is a gorgeous gray Himalayan/Persian gentleman with a soft, light-gray body, darker gray legs, and the most precious little snaggletooth caused by his adorable underbite. We think it gives him character. Mr. Grimley, however, would prefer that the paparazzi respect his privacy. :camera_with_flash::joy: He is not a fan of having his picture taken, and a gentleman of his standing does not appreciate being photographed from an unflattering angle.There is one very important thing to know about Mr. Grimley: this man takes his meals seriously. When his belly is full, he transforms into the aristocratic, dignified gentleman he was always meant to be. But when dinner is late? Mr. Grimley becomes a man with a mission and a one-track mind. Food first. Conversation later.After everything he has been through, Mr. Grimley is feeling better, gaining weight, and showing us more of his wonderful personality every day. Beneath that slightly grumpy expression is a charming, quirky gentleman who simply needed some care, good food, and someone to understand his standards.:tophat: Mr. Grimley is ready to trade his difficult past for a proper home, regular meals, a personal grooming staff, and a family who appreciates a gentleman with character.Thank you for considering adopting one of our kittens/cats.
