4. Larry & Gary

Adult (1 year 6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 24 mi from Austin

Meet Larry and Gary, two wonderful brothers with big hearts, different personalities, and a bond that makes it clear they belong together. Gary, also known as Curly, is the affectionate social butterfly who wants to be wherever the people are, while Larry is a little more independent and prefers to show his affection on his own terms. Together, they're a lovely pair who are ready to find a forever home that has room for both of them.

Read more about Larry & Gary

Gary is a true lovebug. He craves attention, loves being held, and is happiest snuggled up with his people, especially at bedtime. He's also a fan of the foster family dog, a small Bernedoodle, and enjoys playing with his canine friend. If you're looking for a cat who will happily soak up all the affection you have to offer, Gary is ready for the job.

Larry is a little more of a typical cat. He's friendly, affectionate, and easy to handle, but he's also content to do his own thing. He enjoys spending time with his people without needing constant attention. His more independent nature makes him a nice balance to Gary's enthusiastic approach to life.

Both boys are wonderful with children, even young ones. They're gentle, tolerant, comfortable being held, and have never shown any aggression. They adore their young friend in their foster home, seek her out, and love sleeping with her. Gary enjoys playing with the dog, while Larry generally keeps to himself.

These brothers are tightly bonded and love each other dearly. They spend much of their time together and often prefer playing with each other over toys. They enjoy sunny windowsills, the ball-track scratcher, and, of course, anything involving food. Both are extremely food motivated and enjoy dry food, Nulo puree treats, and dried chicken hearts. Larry tolerates nail trims very well, while Gary is a little more resistant but manageable.

Larry and Gary offer the best of both worlds: one attention-loving snugglebug and one friendly, more independent companion. They're wonderful family cats with plenty of love to give, and their bond is a special part of who they are.

If you're looking for two sweet companions to share your home, your sunny windowsills, and maybe even your bedtime, Larry and Gary are ready to meet you. These brothers are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.

10. Felix & Bindy

Young (6 months) · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 24 mi from Austin

Meet Felix and Bindy, a tuxedo boy and a gray-and-white girl who have been navigating life side by side and are finally ready for the best chapter yet: finding their forever home.

These two arrived at TP in mid-July after being surrendered in Kerrville. They were supposed to spend a short time decompressing before heading off to meet their forever family, but life had other plans. Felix and Bindy developed ringworm and spent the next eight weeks going through treatment together. Thankfully, that chapter is behind them, they're all cleared, and they are SO ready to get on with the business of being spoiled house cats.

Read more about Felix & Bindy

Felix and Bindy are affectionate, outgoing, playful, and wonderfully nosy. They move through life like a little two-cat team, playing together, sleeping near each other, investigating everything, and making sure neither misses out on whatever interesting thing is happening nearby. They don't necessarily need to be piled on top of each other to know where the other one is. They simply operate as a unit.

These two are enthusiastic participants in everything happening around them. They're curious, interactive, and very conversational, happily meowing to let you know when they'd like pets, when dinner is late, or when it's time to play. Their forever family should be prepared for plenty of purrs and frequent feline commentary.

When they're not busy chatting, they're busy playing. Wand toys, spring coils, fuzzy mice, and catnip are all excellent ways to earn their attention. They're energetic, smart, gentle, and full of personality. Once playtime is over, they'll happily settle into a sunny window, cozy heated bed, or perhaps the foot of your bed for a well-earned nap.

Both Felix and Bindy enjoy cuddles, being carried around, and a good brushing. They're confident in new places, very outgoing, and easy to get into a carrier. These are not wallflower cats. They're ready to come out, meet you, and get acquainted.

Felix and Bindy lived around other cats from birth until they were about three months old and have had positive experiences with kittens and cats. They're cat-curious and could learn to coexist with other feline friends, but their most important relationship is with each other. They've been together throughout their time at TP, sleep next to each other, play together, and need to find a home together.

They're also food motivated, so unattended meals may be considered an exciting opportunity for feline investigation. Both have excellent litter box habits, use scratching pads and posts appropriately, and permit nail trims, although neither is particularly interested in having their paws fussed over.

After surrender, treatment, and eight long weeks of ringworm recovery, Felix and Bindy are finally ready for the part they've been waiting for: a family of their very own.

If you're looking for two affectionate, outgoing, playful best friends who will greet you with purrs, opinions, and plenty of personality, Felix and Bindy are ready to meet you. Their forever home has been a long time coming, and these two are more than ready to move in.

Good with young children! Sandy can be a wonderful addition to a family with young kids, making her a lovely option for a home looking for a feline companion. A little particular about her roommates. Sandy can be apprehensive around other animals, which is understandable given that she has already been through so much. She may do well with one calm, patient, easygoing cat who will respect her space and allow her time to adjust. A slow, thoughtful introduction will be important. She may also appreciate being the only pet, where she can soak up all the love herself! What Sandy wants most is a place to call home. No more wondering where she belongs. No more being disposable when circumstances change. Just a cozy bed, a full food bowl, a gentle voice, and a person who chooses her every single day.Sandy didn’t deserve whatever happened to her, but her past doesn’t have to define her future. She deserves to be more than the cat found outside a store. She deserves to be someone’s beloved companion, their little shadow, their daily dose of conversation, and their soft, purring reminder that love can find you again. ✨ Could you be Sandy’s happy ending? ✨Thank you for considering adopting one of our kittens/cats.

Adult (3 years) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 24 mi from Austin

Victoria
is a three year-old

brown female tabby.

She has been a sweet young mother to three kittens and is ready to live her own life.

She is very sweet and affectionate when she gets to know you. She can be shy at first and it may take a little time for her to warm up, but once she does, she craves and politely asks for pets and cuddles. She is not a fan of being picked up yet, but that could soon come in time. She loves to lay in the sun on the windowsill and prefers snuggling and pets over toys.

She is fine with other cats and OK with dogs also.

Read more about Tamale

We recommend starting Tamale in a small safe space, such as a bathroom or smaller bedroom, with his food, water, litter box, toys, bed, and hiding spot. This gives him a place that quickly becomes his and somewhere he knows he can retreat when he needs security. Starting new cats in a dedicated transition room and gradually expanding their space is also consistent with feline behavior recommendations. (PubMed Central (PMC)⁠)Once Tamale is comfortable, his world can gradually get bigger at his pace. If there are other cats in the home, slow introductions will help everyone start their relationship on the right paw.We strongly recommend reading the Adoption Manual on our website before bringing Tamale home—it has important information to help make his transition as smooth and successful as possible.Sweet, social, playful, and just the right amount of spicy—Tamale is ready to come home! ️Thank you for considering adopting one of our kittens/cats.

Simba — A Little Lion Learning to Trust Every little lion deserves a pride—and Simba is looking for his.This handsome ginger boy, complete with a fluffy little tail, has been learning something important: people can be trusted. When he first arrived in foster care, he wouldn’t allow anyone to touch him. With patience and time, he has mellowed and now lets his foster pet him. For Simba, those little moments are big accomplishments.Simba does well with the other cats in his foster home, and a friendly feline companion could help him feel at home. With people, he prefers affection with all four paws on the ground.

Read more about Simba “A Little Lion Learning to Trust”

He allows petting but currently doesn’t enjoy being picked up or held.Starting Life with Simba• Start small. Give him a quiet safe room with food, water, a litter box, a scratching surface, and a cozy hiding spot. Let him become comfortable there before gradually introducing more of the home.• Let him set the pace. Sit nearby, talk softly, and allow him to approach. Short, comfortable visits will help him learn that your company feels safe.• Build a routine. Consistent meals and gentle daily interaction can give him something familiar to count on. Offer treats or a wand toy and see what interests him.• Respect his boundaries. Enjoy the petting he accepts without pushing him to be held. His adopter should welcome the cat he is today while celebrating whatever progress comes next.• Introduce other pets gradually. Although he gets along well with his foster’s cats, new friendships still need time and supervised introductions.A Little Extra Care for His Left EyeSimba is currently being treated for a watery left eye with eye drops and allergy medication. His adopter must be comfortable continuing his prescribed care, which may include daily treatment, and following up with their veterinarian. We will share his current treatment instructions and what is known about his ongoing needs before adoption. Because Simba is still building trust with handling, we’ll also discuss how he tolerates his medication and how it is being given in foster care.His Perfect PersonSimba needs a patient adopter in a calm home who finds joy in earning a cautious cat’s trust. He is best suited to someone who doesn’t need a cat to carry around and who can support both his emotional adjustment and his current medical care.We can’t promise a future lap cat. We can promise that Simba deserves someone who sees the value in every small step.If a little ginger lion choosing to trust you sounds like something worth waiting for, Simba might be your boy.Thank you for considering adopting one of our kittens/cats.

Adopting a cat with children in Austin

Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.

Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.

Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
