Adult Cats for Adoption in College Station, TX: 30 Grown-Up Cats Looking for a Home

Adult Cats up for adoption near College Station, TX

Rescues and shelters within 100 miles of College Station have 369 adult cats up for adoption. Here are the 30 newest, each with photos, their story and how to reach the rescue looking after them.

Adult cats usually wait longer for homes than kittens, but their personalities are already settled, so you know just what you're getting: a lap cat, a chatterbox or an independent explorer.

1. Chez

Young (2 years 7 months) · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 74 mi from College Station

DOB 3/17/24

Hey there, everyone! I’m Chez, a sweet, gentle “bicolor” gal, which means that I’m mostly brown tabby on the top part of my body and mostly white on my legs and tummy. It’s said that the eyes are the window of the soul, and once you gaze into my eyes, which look like large, green globes, you immediately see my innocence, kindness, and tenderness. I’m quite a purr baby, and sometimes Foster Meowmy has to turn up the TV because my purr motor sounds like an outboard motor.

Read more about Chez

I was adopted as a kitten to a home where I was deeply cherished by my person, but unfortunately, I’m looking for a new home through no fault of my own. My owner tearfully surrendered both me and my kitty friend Keegan back to HOPE because she had to move in as the caretaker for her mom, who has immune-compromised issues, but the apartment management did not allow cats. What a bummer – because I was so happy and contented in what I thought was my forever home. Although I really miss my hooman as well as my playmate Keegan, I’m enjoying my quiet, loving foster home where Foster Meowmy has welcomed me with open arms.

Now I’m ready to bring my sweet, gentle spirit to grace my second – and this time forever – home. Could that be you? It would be the cat’s meow if there were another kitty to be my playmate, although I’m fine being a solo kitty. I never hiss, scratch, or bite, so I’d probably be great around kids, although there were no kids in my other home. Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU!

HOPE ID 24-0815-G223

Chez’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.

4. Tic Tac

Young (11 months) · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 74 mi from College Station

DOB 10/25/25

Hey there, everyone! I’m Tic Tac, a petite kitty with a not-at-all-petite personality, the cutest little blep (when my tongue-tip peeks out), and a purr motor WAY too big for my kitten-sized body! I’m basically a tiny mint with a whole lot of fizz and absolutely no idea how to contain my newfound joy.

Read more about Tic Tac

Sometimes I’m so happy to see you that I come charging over to rub and bump all over you, then roll, wiggle, and flip around for pets. Other times, I squirm so much you might wonder if I’m even interested in cuddles! But give me a little patience, and I might just melt into your arms or lap, purring loud enough to make you forget just how petite I am. And if I reach a paw toward your face, you're in for the sweetest little nose bops, complete with my signature blep and the most blissed-out expression you've ever seen.

I’m still learning how to be a proper little lovebug. I like to playfully bat at you with my paws, and sometimes I get carried away with a little nibble. I’m working on my manners, though! I’ve got lots of love and a streak of mischief packed into this petite package. Consider me a work-in-mint-progress!

You see, I had to grow up a little too fast. I was rescued from an apartment complex where cats were being harmed, and while I was still a kitten myself, I became a momma to four little ones, who are about my size now. Thankfully, a kind tenant gave us shelter on an enclosed patio.

Now my babies are growing up, and it’s finally my turn to be the baby! I’m ready to trade surviving for snuggling and motherhood for being pampered. I might need a little patience while I figure out this whole spoiled-house-cat thing, but I’ve already got the blep, the booming purr, and the enthusiastic cuddle attacks you’re sure to love.

So, are you ready for a little mint-sized mayhem who may need a fellow cautious heart? I’ll freshen up your life with my devoted little heart, enthusiastic affection, and plenty of bleppy kisses!

5. Penny

Young (2 years 5 months) · Female · Torbie / Tabby / Mixed (short coat) · 74 mi from College Station

DOB 5/1/24

Meow! I’m Penny, a striking torbie girl with a coat that shines like a copper penny. My beautiful, rich coloring and swirling classic-tabby markings are eye-catching, but don’t let my pretty looks distract you from the fact that my purrsonality and value are priceless. They say finding a penny is lucky. But if you happen to find me, I’d say you’re the lucky one.

Read more about Penny

I’m a social butterfly who likes to make my presence known. I’ll meow here and there to let you know I’m ready for some attention, and once I have it, my sass is apparent. I love affection, playtime, and being part of whatever you’re doing. I enjoy being held and cuddled, and I’m also fond of nose kisses and nose licks—until I’ve decided I’ve had enough. Then I’ll keep you on your toes with a playful little love bite, followed by a love lick or two. It’s my way of saying, “Penny for your thoughts?”

And perhaps the most remarkable thing about me is that, despite my past, I still choose to trust people. Sadly I was rescued from an apartment complex where tenants cruelly harmed cats, yet I remained my wonderfully bossy, affectionate, and curious self—and eager to connect with people. Maybe I really am a lucky penny. Somehow, I found my way out and into a better life and possibly with you.

I’m curious and intelligent. I may not have thumbs, but I’ve learned how to open cabinets. Naturally, I have to investigate and see if there’s any buried treasure waiting to be discovered. I hang out with my foster cat siblings and would be perfectly happy being adopted into a home with other cats. But if I’m being honest, I tend to prefer the company of people and my own dreamy thoughts.

By the way, I tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV+), which I probably contracted from the deep bite wound from an intact male cat. (Unlike Feline Leukemia, FIV is NOT passed on "casually" by sharing food bowls and litter boxes with other household cats.) FIV+ is very manageable, and I should live a normal life span with proper care.

So if you’re looking for a beautiful, clever, playful companion who will keep you entertained and fill your home with fun and warmth, you don’t need to toss a penny into a fountain and make a wish. You just need to adopt me—because I’m one lucky penny you’ll want to keep.

6. Nori

Young (1 year 2 months) · Female · Bombay / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 74 mi from College Station

DOB 7/23/25

Hey there, everyone! I’m Nori, a sleek, velvety-soft black cat bursting with umami goodness. I’m the purrfect sushi roll: sweet lap cat, gentle nose-kisser, easygoing and intelligent cuddler. I even look like I’m smiling, as if I know a little funny secret. Basically, I’m the good-for-you kind of snack —high in nutrients for the soul, low in calories and chaos, and 100% affection that’s somehow impossible not to crave.

Read more about Nori

I’m a loving little shadow without being overly needy. I’ll rub against your legs, lounge nearby, curl up beside you, or simply keep you company while you go about your day. I’m a lap cat who loves being held and cuddled, and I’ll reward you with the most soothing, low little purr. I’m the kind of companion who adds a little extra flavor to everyday life without ever overwhelming the dish.

Wherever you go, I’m likely to follow—not because I need constant attention, but because I’m curious and believe someone has to keep tabs on things. Close a door without inviting me in? You may see the cutest, most desperate little paw reaching underneath it. Bathroom time? I consider that an invitation to climb onto your lap. Sitting on the couch? Obviously, that’s an invitation for me to flop beside you or curl up against you.

Of course, even the sweetest snack has a salty side. Don’t let my innocent face fool you—I can orchestrate a little chaos. One of my favorite games is tapping a roll of paper towels onto the floor for my foster cat siblings, who lack my “manners” and happily shred it into tiny pieces. Me? I simply supervise from nearby. Someone has to manage the operation.

I’m social, gentle, and laid-back, so it’s no surprise that I get along well with other cats and kids. I’ll happily greet strangers, but my loyal heart is reserved for the people I know and love. And given my background, that trust is especially remarkable. I was rescued from an apartment complex where cats were sadly not treated kindly. The other cats and I endured frightening and harmful treatment. Despite what I experienced, I never lost my trust in people. I remained affectionate, gentle, and trusting.

I’m comfort food in cat form: warm, soothing, and best enjoyed curled up beside you, wrapped in the softest fur, with my quiet, low-base purr humming away. I’m good for the soul—and I’m ready to be savored, cherished, and loved. So if you’re looking for easy sweetness, a little salt, a whole lot of umami, and limitless companionship to add the perfect flavor to your home, I might just be the ingredient you’ve been looking for.

7. Penelope

Adult (6 years 10 months) · Female · Maine Coon / Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 74 mi from College Station

DOB 12/3/19

Hey there, everyone! I'm Penelope, a beautiful, sweet, fluffy medium-haired girl with bright green eyes, a little mirth in my expression, and just enough sass to make sure you know I’m not just another ordinary beauty. I’m laid-back and independent, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love affection — or that I lack a purrsonality! I don’t necessarily need to be the center of attention. I’m perfectly happy doing my own thing and observing the world around me. But when you’re fabulously fluffy, attention tends to find its way to you anyway.

Read more about Penelope

I have quite a few opinions, and I’m not afraid to share them. I’ll let you know where you stand with me — sometimes vocally, sometimes by flopping over in all my fluffy glory, hoping to sucker you into giving me just a few more pets, please. I don’t mind being picked up and cuddled, either. When I’m in your arms, I’ll put my fluffy mitts on you and hold on for a hug.

I’m named after Penelope from The Odyssey — the woman who waited for Odysseus to come home to Ithaca after being away on his agonizingly long journey. And I understand waiting. I understand journeys. I was rescued near a bus stop — where journeys begin and end. I survived outdoors, despite having once known the comforts of being loved indoors. Now, I’m waiting for the part of my story where I finally get to go home.

8. Luna

Young (1 year 3 months) · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 74 mi from College Station

DOB 6/15/25

Hey there, everyone! I’m Luna, a very affectionate, friendly, and beautiful pastel-grey-and-taupe tabby gal with giant olive eyes who begs Foster Meowmy to kiss me, to scratch my cheeks and chin, as well as to gently stroke my back. I’m so calm and loving that she’s more than happy to oblige. I’m no couch potato, though! No siree! I love to play with the plethora of toys that Foster Meowmy provides, and – guess what? – I even like to play with her foster kittens as well as her resident cats and dogs because they’re all friendly!

Read more about Luna

I’ve had a rough start in my young life. When I was barely a year old, my original family was evicted from their apartment and took the dog with them but dumped me outside. Thankfully a Good Samaritan who feeds a colony of community cats there noticed how friendly I was when I showed up at his feeding station. He started petting me and immediately decided that Foster Meowmy was just the person to bring me to the safe haven of her home. Boy howdy! I was delighted to be delivered from the hardscrabble life of a stray!

Foster Meowmy has whispered in my ear that she’ll find a caring family who will cherish me and who will NEVER even consider abandoning me! Now that I’ve been spayed and fully vetted, I’m looking for love in all the RIGHT places. Could it be in your home that I find the love and stability that I deserve? If so, I’m ready to bring my winsome friendliness and calm affection to bless your family. It’d be perfect if you have other cats and dogs -- and maybe even kids -- who will play with me and love me as much as my hooman pawrents do. Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU!

Young (3 years 5 months) · Female · Calico (short coat) · 74 mi from College Station

It's hard to find a girl like me! Not only am I petite and ridiculously cute, but I'm also sweet, confident and guaranteed to keep you laughing. And I LOVE paper; I'm absolutely obsessed! I'm only three years old. So I'm still full of playful energy but not so much that I'm high maintenance! When I happily approach you with head-butts, I love a good scratch from head to tail. And if you're in the mood to play kitten-style, I'm always up for a little gentle play wrestling too. My foster mom rescued me from a difficult situation outdoors when she saw what a sweet little people cat I was. I do really well with all my feline friends in my foster mom's home.

10. Koko

Young (1 year 10 months) · Female · Torbie / Tabby / Mixed (short coat) · 74 mi from College Station

DOB 11/22/24

Hey there, everyone! I’m Koko, a charming and friendly "patched" brown tabby gal who is named after Koko Krunch, the chocolate cereal featuring an adorable koala mascot. And honestly, the name couldn’t be more perfect for me. I may not come in a cereal box, but I do come with all the good stuff: sweetness, cuddles, and a little bit of playful crunch. I’m basically Koko Krunch with extra purrs and zero calories. And while I may be koala-inspired, loving me doesn’t mean living “down under” or turning your world upside down. With me around, everything is just right.

Read more about Koko

Why the koala connection? Because I love to cling and hug my people like they’re my very own eucalyptus tree. Give me a lap, and I’ll settle right in, put one precious paw on you, and happily cuddle or sleep beside you. I can be your little koala-bear-in-cat-form who also chirps and trills like a songbird. I’m always happy to chat with you about your day.

I’m the kind of cat who makes a home feel like home. I’m sweet, easygoing, affectionate, and wonderfully low-maintenance. Mostly, I just want to be where my people are. I love small hoomans and big hoomans alike, and I’ll cheerfully keep you company as I make "biscuits" while you relax, work, watch TV, or drift off to sleep. I’m also okay about feline roommates, but if I’m being completely honest, people are definitely my favorite species. My heart belongs to hoomans.

And don’t mistake my easygoing personality for being boring! I absolutely love to chase and play with wand toys. I have a playful spark and enjoy having fun with my people. Really, I’m the embodiment of joy — being around me just makes life feel a little happier.

My story makes my sweetness even more remarkable. I was rescued from an apartment complex where some teenage tenants were hostile toward cats. A BB pellet had become lodged in my abdominal cavity, which was discovered when I was spayed. Despite everything I experienced, I came through it all with my love and trust in people completely intact.

So, if you’re looking for a cat who is part koala, part songbird, part baker, and 100% cuddling sweetheart, I would love to meet you. I’ve got Koko-nuts for cuddles, a song in my heart, biscuits in my paws, and an endless supply of love. All I need now is my forever eucalyptus tree — I mean, forever home.

Hey there, everyone! I’m Suzy Q, a sweet, calm, and affectionate gray-and-white tuxedo gal who, just like the legendary Hostess snack cake, is soft to touch on the outside and whose heart on the inside fills you with smiles. Foster Meowmy found me nursing my kittens, Ding Dong and Twinkie, inside an abandoned car in a field. Talk about good luck!!!

Because of the danger of predators, I was particularly appreciative that I didn’t have to leave my babies to hunt for food anymore!

My ears perk up when I hear my name, and I usually come running when she calls me because I know that lavishing attention on me is in store. I’m a garrulous boy who likes chatting with her about how her day is going. But I’m no couch potato! No siree! I’m a master at playing fetch with a pom-pom ball.

Read more about Milo

When I was about six weeks old and with no momma or siblings in sight, a Good Samaritan found me and brought me to HOPE. Boy howdy! I was relieved that I kissed the hardscrabble life goodbye because I was much too small to be fending for myself. Thank heavens that Foster Meowmy agreed to take me in because I fit in seamlessly with her four resident kittens who were about my age. We tumble and pounce, climb and wrestle with each other. True confessions – I can be a bit over-zealous in my rough-and-tumbling with them because I don’t realize that I’m coming on too strong. So Foster Meowmy makes sure that we have thoroughly exhausting interactive sessions with the feathered wand toy so that I’m never bored!

Now I’m ready to bring my jovial, lovey disposition and rowdy playfulness to sprinkle joy and laughter among my new family. Could that be with you? Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give -- all I need is YOU

Rescued alongside her siblings, Baldur, Oona, & Saela, at just 7 weeks old, Torvi took a little time to realize that humans are friends. But once she discovered the magic of back rubs and playtime, her true sweet personality came shining through!
Torvi is a sensitive soul who prefers a calm environment to build her confidence. Her secret weapon for feeling brave is her brother Baldur, her best friend and lifelong sidekick. Because they bring out the best in each other and rely on their special bond, Torvi and Baldur must be adopted together.
If you’re looking for a gentle, rewarding bond with a rescue kitten and twice the love with her handsome brother, Torvi is waiting to meet you!

17. Venus

Adult (1 year 4 months) · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 74 mi from College Station

DOB 5/11/19

Hey there, everyone! I’m Venus, an affectionate, friendly, and calm brown tabby gal with big green eyes and an adorable milky-white moustache and beard. My favorite part of the day is when Foster Meowmy and I spend quality time together on the sofa. You can call me Goldilocks because I like her to give me just the right amount of head massages and neck scratches – not “too few,” or I’ll tap her with my paw to demand more, and not “too many,” or I’ll give her a gentle “love bite” (actually from being ecstatically happy), but “just right” (sigh).

Read more about Venus

I’m a chatty girl, and she seems to like it and be flattered that I greet her with a cheerful “meow.” And interactive playtime with her is a blast – whether I’m trying to stab the feather wand toy as she waves it over my head or chasing it as she wiggles it around the room like a snake. I guess I sometimes look a little foolish, but I can really throw my heart into this wand-toy business.

I was loved and cherished by my adopter, and vice versa, but unfortunately six years later, I’m looking for a new home through no fault of my own. I’ll let you in on a secret – adopting me would have its advantages as I won’t cause chaos in your home with “kitten frenzy” and I won’t break your treasured accessories. I may be a plain-clothes brown tabby on the outside, but underneath I have a heart of gold. What else do you expect from the goddess of love? Arrange to meet me today!

HOPE ID 19-0602-E033

Venus’ $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.

18. Buddy & Pina

Adult (4 years 4 months) · Male · Maine Coon / Tortoiseshell / Mixed (long coat) · 74 mi from College Station

DOB 4/20/22 (Buddy); DOB 2/29/25 (Pina)

Hey there, everyone! We’re Buddy and Pina, a pair of bonded soulmates whose romance began at Foster Meowmy’s next-door neighbor’s community-cat feeding station. About three months after we met, we wandered together over to Foster Meowmy’s back yard in East Houston, and she was kind enough to bring us both inside when the February arctic freeze hit.

Read more about Buddy & Pina

Buddy says, “I’m a big, gentle, calm, and affectionate brown tabby Maine Coon fella who luxuriates when Foster Meowmy scratches my ears, rubs my belly, and brushes the long locks on my wispy mane, body, and flowing tail. I’m rather a lethargic couch potato, and sleeping peacefully on Foster Meowmy’s chest is one of my favorite pastimes.”

Pina says, “I’m a cuddly and sweet but spicy and energetic tortoiseshell gal who flaunts my proverbial “tortitude” with flair and offers my opinions with confident panache. I know that I’d disappoint you if I didn’t live up to the tortie’s reputation of sassiness when being affectionate with my hoomans -- on my terms, of course.”

Although we’re both pretty asymptomatic, we both are classified as having special needs. Buddy says, “I tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV+), which I probably contracted from the deep bite wound from an intact male cat. (Unlike Feline Leukemia, FIV is NOT passed on "casually" by sharing food bowls and litter boxes with other household cats.) Being FIV positive doesn’t stop me from living my best life as long as my dental health is routinely monitored and prompt attention is given to any urinary-tract or upper-respiratory infections.”

Pina says, “Just before the February arctic freeze, Foster Meowmy found me collapsed and unresponsive in her backyard. She rushed me to the vet, who diagnosed and successfully treated me for a respiratory infection, and I still occasionally suffer from asthma as a leftover result of that nasty infection. To this day, I gratefully owe my life to Foster Meowmy.”

Although we both have stolen Foster Meowmy’s heart, we think it’s time for us to let her resident cats bask in her unshared attention and to find a forever family of very own. Perhaps you’re looking for a gentle giant and kind, old soul who peacefully reigns over your hearts (that’s me, Buddy) as well as a fiercely loyal companion, ready to be the center of your attention (that’s me, Pina). Could that be you? Arrange to meet us today! Since Foster Meowmy realizes that we’ll be most contented if we remain together, she is insisting that we be adopted as a bonded pair. 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 – and that arrangement probably works out best for you anyway!

DOB 2/19/25

Hey there, everyone! I’m Pina, a cuddly and sweet but spicy and energetic tortoiseshell gal who flaunts my proverbial “tortitude” with flair and offers my opinions with confident panache. I know that I’d disappoint you if I didn’t live up to the tortie’s reputation of sassiness when being affectionate with my hoomans -- on my terms, of course.

Read more about Pina

I was a friendly one-year-old stray, barely more than a kitten, with no momma or siblings in sight, when I first wandered up to Foster Meowmy’s next-door neighbor’s community-cat feeding station. Over the next few months, I became friends with Buddy, a big, gentle-giant Maine Coon, who also showed up at chow time, and after about three months, we wandered together over to Foster Meowmy’s backyard.

This was when my health took a perilous turn when, just before the February arctic freeze hit, she found me collapsed and unresponsive in her backyard. She rushed me to the vet, who diagnosed and successfully treated me for a respiratory infection, and I still occasionally suffer from asthma as a leftover result of that nasty infection. To this day, I gratefully owe my life to Foster Meowmy, who was kind enough to bring both Buddy and me to live permanently inside. I had no problem with this because I’m very food-motivated, and I’m a champ at stealing Foster Meowmy’s snacks!

I must congratulate myself for trading in my East Houston street smarts for a life of luxury where I can set up shop as my forever family’s fiercely loyal companion, ready to be the center of their attention. Could that be you? Are you ready for a classy force of nature, a main-character energy-cat who promises to steal your heart? Then arrange to meet me today! Since Foster Meowmy realizes that I’ll be most contented if I remain with my soulmate Buddy, she is insisting that Buddy and I be adopted as a bonded pair. 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 – and that arrangement probably works out best for you anyway.

20. Dhl

Young (8 months) · Female · Domestic Medium Hair · 53 mi from College Station

DHL is a beautiful petite cat. She has already had a litter of 5 kittens, but has now been spayed to end that cycle of adding more kittens to the world. She is a bit timid and shy, but very trusting of her humans with a short adjustment time. Currently, she enjoys pets and scratches and with time, will end up a playful, loving lap cat. She has the softest, silky medium length fur with a cute short bobbed tail.

DOB 4/20/22

Hey there, everyone! I’m Buddy, a big, gentle, calm, and affectionate silver tabby Maine Coon fella who luxuriates when Foster Meowmy scratches my ears, rubs my belly, and brushes the long locks on my wispy mane, body, and flowing tail. I’m rather a lethargic couch potato, and sleeping peacefully on Foster Meowmy’s chest is one of my favorite pastimes.

Read more about Buddy

She thinks that I was someone’s abandoned or lost outdoor pet who wandered up as a friendly intact stray to her next-door neighbor’s community-cat feeding station. Over the next few months, I became friends with Pina, a sweet-and-spicy tortie gal who also showed up at chow time. About three months later, we wandered together over to Foster Meowmy’s back yard in East Houston, and she was kind enough to bring us both inside when the February arctic freeze hit. I had no problem with this because I’m very food-motivated, and I knew that there was probably an abundance of yummy food and treats inside. Sometimes I long for my previous outdoor life, but I know it’s dangerous out there on the streets, so I’m perfectly content to satisfy my “call of the wild” by sitting in a patch of sunshine on the cat tree next to a window so I can gaze at the wildlife outside.

Unfortunately, the consequences of surviving the hardscrabble life became a reality when I tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV+), which I probably contracted from the deep bite wound from an intact male cat. (Unlike Feline Leukemia, FIV is NOT passed on "casually" by sharing food bowls and litter boxes with other household cats.) Being FIV positive doesn’t stop me from living my best life as long as my dental health is routinely monitored and prompt attention is given to any urinary-tract or upper-respiratory infections.

I realized that I’d stolen Foster Meowmy’s heart when I heard her say, “Buddy is the kind of really special cat who is rare.” Now I’m ready to be the gentle giant and kind, old soul who peacefully reigns over the hearts of my forever family. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! Since Foster Meowmy realizes that I’ll be most contented if I remain with my soulmate Pina, she is insisting that Pina and I be adopted as a bonded pair. 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 – and that arrangement probably works out best for you anyway!

Hey there, everyone! I’m Bonnie, a stunningly beautiful, affectionate, and playful seal-point Snowshoe/ Siamese mix gal who loves it when my hooman Daddy massages my head and rubs my belly when I snuggle in his lap. We have so much fun together when he teases me with feathered wand toys and bouncing balls on a string. True confessions: I can get a little spicy when he overstimulates me during these interactive playtimes! He always caps off our gametime with yummy Churu treats, and then I’m perfectly happy to stretch out and bask in a sunbeam for an afternoon nap.

Unfortunately, I need a new home because the other cats in my home are mean and grumpy with me. I’m relegated to living in Daddy’s office, but I heard my hooman Meowmy tell someone, “Bonnie is a wonderful cat who deserves better than to live in just one room.” I’m ready to be the enthusiastic playmate and cuddly lap cat for my forever family. Could that be you? My ideal home should be quiet because I get spooked at loud noises, and my ideal adopter should be experienced with handling cats who can be somewhat feisty when overaroused. Give me a few weeks to settle in after my arrival, and you’ll have a real Playgirl on your hands! Arrange to meet me today!

I was born on a Caribbean island -- doesn't that sound exotic? -- and a tourist brought me home as a pet. I thought I was happily ensconced in my happily-forever-after home, but I guess that’s just in fairy tales. Unfortunately, when my rescuer moved out of her apartment, she abandoned me and left me behind. Thank heavens Foster Meowmy heard of my sad, homeless predicament, and she stepped up to the plate and promised to find me a loving family who will cherish me for the rest of my life.

I was understandably shaken up when I first arrived at my foster home, so I was initially shy until I warmed up to Foster Meowmy and the resident cats. Now I’m a bona fide cuddle bug extraordinaire who’s anxious to meet the family whom Meowmy has promised. I’m ready, willing, and able to share with you the love and joy in my heart, so please arrange to meet me today! Incidentally, there are advantages to adopting a gal like me who’s past the stage of kitten mayhem. I’m much less likely to cause chaos in your home or break your treasured accessories.

Why adopt an adult cat in College Station

An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.

Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
