1. Rawl #innocent-face

Kitten (2 months 10 days) · Male · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 2 mi from Houston

DOB 8/11/26

Hey there, everyone! I’m Rawl, a friendly, affectionate, and playful pastel grey tabby fella who loves being handled and petted. I guess you’d call me a Velcro kitten because I adore being close to my beloved Foster Meowmy. I luxuriate when she scratches my chin, cheeks, and ears while I cuddle contentedly in her lap, and I sleep nestled next to her at night. If she decides to shut her bedroom door, I’ll mew on the other side to wake her up and remind her it’s breakfast time!

Read more about Rawl #innocent-face

A neighbor of my Foster Meowmy’s mom found me as a four-week-old orphan with no momma or siblings in sight. Of course Foster Meowmy hurried over to scoop me up, welcome me with open arms, and give me a safe haven in her home. I was delighted to find a whole surrogate family of resident cats to teach me all the manners I needed to learn since Momma was not around. My best friend is a teenage foster kitty named Astro, and we play and snuggle together like siblings. Plus the kids in my foster home keep me entertained by our interactive play with wand toys. I’m rather addicted to the Churus that all my foster hooman family offers to me!

Now I’m ready to enchant everyone with my innocent face as well as deliver love and laughter to all of my forever family, including their cats -- and maybe even their cat-friendly dogs. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today, and I promise that we’ll fall head over paws in love with each other the instant we meet.

DOB 4/28/26

Hey there, everyone! I’m Oliver, a gentle, easygoing, friendly, and debonair tuxedo-tabby fella with four white mitts, white face, white vest, and white tummy. In contrast to my talkative twin sister Olivia, I’m the strong, silent type. Yet, like Olivia, I’m a sure-fire Velcro kitty because I love, love, love to stick close to my Foster Meowmy – including sleeping ON her. I’m also an excellent biscuit-maker when I knead her thigh as I’m curled up in her lap. I enjoy all ages of hoomans and play especially well with kids.

A nice lady rescued my mother Angel, who had been abused, as well as Olivia and me as friendly strays when we were about three months old. When this Good Samaritan brought us all to the safe haven of her home, the landlord threatened to evict her if she did not get rid of my little family. Thank heavens our future Foster Meowmy noticed this nice lady’s urgent plea on Nextdoor and responded by bringing us all to her home.

Now I’m ready to bring my happy-go-lucky affability, biscuit-making expertise, and loyal devotion to bless my forever family. Could that be you? Because Olivia and I are so bonded to each other, Foster Meowmy is insisting that we be adopted together. Arrange to meet us today!

I’m a sure-fire Velcro kitty because I love, love, love to stick close to my Foster Meowmy. I comment with a "meow" on everything, and you have to discern by my tone if I’m charmingly asking for my breakfast, bossing my beloved twin brother Oliver, or complaining about the other resident cats in my foster home. I guess you’d say that I have to have the last word on everything!

9. Julia #rolls-with-the-punches

Senior (10 years 7 months) · Female · Torbie / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 2 mi from Houston

DOB 3/3/16

Hey there, everyone! I’m Julia, an affectionate, cuddly, and laid-back “torbie” gal, which means that I’m mostly brown tabby with patches of orange that look like I’ve been sprinkled with caramel in a candy factory. I also have a white chin and one white toe! My big, green-globe eyes are truly “the window to my soul” because they convey my calm, innocent, and relaxed disposition. I love people of all ages and quickly turn on my rumbling purr motor to communicate my ecstasy when Foster Meowmy scratches my chin or ears as I cuddle in her lap.

Read more about Julia #rolls-with-the-punches

A nice elderly gentleman adopted me from HOPE when I was a year old, and we lived blissfully together as devoted companions for nine years. Unfortunately he passed away, but his personal caregiver scooped me up and brought me to her apartment to join her active household with kids, two dogs, and a rabbit. I thrived there because I’m so easygoing and handle change so easily. However, after four months together, I lost my second home because they had to move to an apartment with a “no pets” policy. Again, I was homeless, but thank heavens HOPE always takes their cats back, and Foster Meowmy graciously stepped up to give me a place for my spirit to shine brightly as I wait patiently for my forever-and-ever home. Meanwhile, I get along with the other resident and foster kitties as I relax on the cat tree and snooze on the sofa.

Now I’m ready to display my excellent companion skills and flexible adaptability as I become the newest member of my third and final home. I’m a brave girl to trust that “the third time is the charm” for me to leave my fragrant legacy of love. All I ask is a peaceful, slow-paced life where warmth and rapport are exchanged between us. Incidentally, the vet gave me a clean bill of health at my check-up, and adopting a kitty like me who’s past the stage of kitten and juvenile mayhem has its advantages because I’m much less likely to cause chaos in your home or break your treasured accessories. Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU!

10. Anastasia #fairy-tale-princess

Young (11 months) · Female · Tabby / American Shorthair / Mixed (short coat) · 2 mi from Houston

DOB 11/1/25

Hey there, everyone! I’m Anastasia, a sweet but very shy and timid fairy tale princess with big green globe eyes who’s learning to open up and trust my Foster Meowmy. You see, I showed up at her community cat feeding station as a two-month old kitten with no momma or siblings in sight. Foster Meowmy trapped me and brought me indoors with every intention of spending plenty of time helping me warm up to her. Unfortunately, Meowmy’s father went into hospice at the same time, so I was older than expected when Foster Meowmy could focus on my socialization.

Read more about Anastasia #fairy-tale-princess

Fortunately she is experienced enough to know that it would take time and patience for me to warm up to her. With her gentle voice and affectionate touch, she showed me that I was securely loved, and --voilà! –watching me blossom has been something truly special for her. We have so much fun playing together with the turkey-flyer wand toy, and I tirelessly swat at it just as long as she'll wave it over my head.

Plus I integrated seamlessly into the foster mix of three adult cats and one kitten. In fact, I love them because they’ve become my family. The adults coach me on all the manners that my momma would’ve taught me if she’d be around. True confessions: I love to steal their Temptation treats, but they forgive me. Like siblings, the kitten and I enjoy chasing each other through the cat tunnel as well as up and down the cat tree.

Now I’m ready to find my loving, forever home. Could that be you? Although I may be initially shy, your allowing me to warm up to my new hooman family at my own pace will pay big dividends. Watching my sweet, playful personality unfold could be as breathtaking as witnessing a rosebud burst forth into a spectacular flower. Arrange to meet me today! Every household needs a demure, innocent-eyed fairy tale princess, and I'm ready to oblige.

Young (11 months) · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 2 mi from Houston

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 #mint-sized-mayhem

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!

13. Penny #make-a-wish

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

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 #make-a-wish

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.

14. Nori #velvety-soft

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

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 #velvety-soft

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.

Read more about Comet #brother-of-Rocket

Hey there, everyone! I’m Comet, a friendly, affectionate, and cuddly “bicolor” fella, which means that I’m red tabby on my top half with soft white bunny fur on my lower half. With the swashes of white spilling around my eyes and nose, I’m a handsome, uniquely marked boy whose face shows off a range of emotions. Although I enjoy snuggling with Foster Meowmy, I also love engaging with her interactively when she waves the turkey flyer wand toy over my head. Man-oh-man – when I see it flying through the air, I’m on the alert and ready for action. And she also endears herself to me by letting me polish off a tube of Churus after I’m all tuckered out from playtime.

My brother Rocket and I were abandoned by our owner at a vet’s office in southwest Houston when we were about five months old. Thank heavens the vet has a good relationship with our foster meowmy, and she agreed to find us a forever home the second time around. Although Rocket and I are best buddies and love hanging out together, we like the same things – the wand toy as well as Churus – so there’s always a little competition in who gets there first.

Now I’m ready to cuddle with my forever family – whenever I’m not flipping around as the turkey flyer sails through the air. Arrange to meet me today! I promise that we’ll fall head over paws in love with each other the instant that we meet. Although we’re available separately, wouldn’t you love to adopt a handsome pair of red tabby brothers? Rocket and I could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation.

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 #fabulously-fluffy

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.

18. Cheetoh #brother-of-Charlee

Kitten (5 months 6 days) · Male · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 2 mi from Houston

DOB 5/1/26

Hey there, everyone! I’m Cheetoh, a big, brawny red tabby fella whose nickname around my foster home is “Tucker Brown” because I’m such a big boy! I already weigh twice as much as my baby sister Charlee. I’m curious about everything and afraid of nothing. I have one speed -- FAST!

Read more about Cheetoh #brother-of-Charlee

I overheard Foster Meowmy tell someone, “Cheetoh is a crazy, hot mess,” but almost in the next breath, she confessed, “I’ve never had an orange kitty before, but Cheetoh is super special.” She likes it that I’m her very best early-morning and bedtime snuggle buddy. Although I’m VERY vocal all the time, I have a sweet little voice that doesn’t match my swagger.

My feral momma birthed my litter of four in Foster Meowmy’s neighborhood. When my siblings and I were six weeks old and ready to be weaned, Meowmy trapped/ spayed, and released Momma and brought us kittens inside to socialize us for adoption. I fit beautifully into the dynamics of the resident pet household because Meowmy’s cat Dootie as well as her two big, black dogs fell in love with me. (Who wouldn’t?) I tumble and pounce, chase and wrestle with my siblings, and when we’re exhausted, we collapse in a kitten puddle

Now I’m ready to zoom around my forever home in my active moments and then chat about the day as well as snuggle with my forever family in my quieter moments. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me! I promise that we’ll fall head over paws in love with each other the instant that we meet! Although we’re available separately, Charlee and I think it’d be the cat’s meow if we were adopted together so that we could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation.

DOB 5/1/26

Hey there, everyone! I’m Charlee, a sweet, petite, calm, and quiet “bicolor” gal, which means that the top half of my body is orange tabby and the bottom is plush white like a bunny’s fur. I adore my Foster Meowmy because she lets me snuggle with her at bedtime and she feeds me delicious Churu squeezable treats. Also when I sit on my cat-tree perch, she throws toys at me to catch. The cat tree is strategically situated by a window so that I can watch my personal kitty TV -- the birds flying, the lizards scooting and the squirrels scampering by.

Young (1 year 3 months) · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 2 mi from Houston

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 #begs-for-kisses

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!

21. Mochi #gotta-have-fun

Kitten (5 months 26 days) · Male · Tuxedo / American Shorthair / Mixed (short coat) · 2 mi from Houston

DOB 4/10/26

Hey there, everyone! I’m Mochi, a very affectionate, easygoing, and playful tuxedo fella who loves to be held and carried around, to snuggle on laps, and to soak up all the affection that can be poured out on me. But I’m no couch potato! No siree! I love to zoom around the house, chase crinkle balls, and swat at the wand toy. My favorite entertainment, the orange tower of balls, particularly intrigues me and keeps me endlessly busy. Nothing much ruffles my feathers, and I even allow Foster Meowmy to trim my claws without protesting.

Read more about Mochi #gotta-have-fun

When I was four months old, I showed up in Foster Meowmy’s yard as a friendly stray with no momma or siblings in sight. I was crying for attention as well as food. I was so outgoing and relaxed with people that Foster Meowmy assumed that I was someone’s lost pet. Sure enough, she finally located a lady in the neighborhood who admitted that I had belonged to her before she decided she didn’t want me anymore.

Yes, it hurt my feelings that my deadbeat owner threw me outside like trash, but I realized that I’d hit the jackpot when Foster Meowmy brought me inside to join her five resident cats. I’m very curious about my feline housemates, but unfortunately they ignore me when I try to start up a rousing game of chase. Once I heard one of them snarl “Whippersnapper!” I understand that I should respect my elders, but give me a break – As the reggae song goes, “We Just Gotta Have Fun!”

So now I’m ready to find a forever family who’ll shower me with attention, provide lots of enriching games and provocative toys for me, and jubilantly exult in my kitten friskiness. Could that be you? Perhaps you have a lonely cat who needs a playmate! Bring her on! I haven’t been around dogs, but I’m open to meeting them if they’re cat-friendly. Arrange to meet me today! I promise that we’ll fall head over paws in love with each other the instant we meet!

Kitten (11 months) · Male · Tuxedo / Mixed (short coat) · 2 mi from Houston

DOB 11/1/25

Read more about Larry #intrepid-trio

Hey there, everyone! I’m Larry, an extremely affectionate, talkative, and cuddly tuxedo fella who loves to mutually exchange attention with Foster Meowmy. I’m an excellent conversationalist who constantly chats with her about how her day is going – between bites of Temptations or slurps of Delectables. I enjoy sleeping with her as well as playing interactively when she waves the wand toy over my head or wiggles it around the room like a snake. When she’s not around, I entertain myself by roughhousing with my sisters, zooming through the cat tunnel, and batting the crinkle ball around the room with the finesse of a pro soccer striker.

A teenage boy rescued my siblings, Lucy and Star, and me as four-month-old orphans in his neighborhood where a lot of houses are being torn down. Apparently people move out and leave their cats behind, and the kitties congregate nearby at the antique mall where Foster Meowmy has a booth. Our rescuer couldn’t keep us because his brother is allergic to cats, so he persuaded Foster Meowmy to take us home. I fit in beautifully with the resident and foster cats, with whom my siblings and I enjoy playing. However, I will say that I’m a natural leader who likes to dominate the whole group, although I’m an amiable chief of my feline tribe.

Now it’s time for me to transition to my forever home where I can sprinkle love and laughter over my forever family. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me! I promise that my outgoing personality will leave tiny paw prints all over your heart. Although we’re available separately, Lucy and I think it’d be the cat’s meow if we could be adopted together. That way we can be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation.

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.

DOB 5/15/26

Hi, I’m Tot, the most petite of the #fried-spuds-bunch and one seriously sweet little potato! I may be a small tot, but I’m big on flavor, golden cuddly cuteness, and crisp kitten energy that all make life more fun. I love to play, explore, chase toys, and generally keep my little paws busy. You could say I’m a pretty a-peel-ing little package!

I love pets and cuddles, and it doesn’t take much to win me over. Give me a little love, and I’m happy to be right there with you. I may be a busy little spud when there are toys to chase, but when it’s time to relax, I can make a pretty excellent couch potato (literally).

Read more about Tot #fried-spuds-bunch

I love batting toys around, playing hide-and-seek with my foster family, including two young kids, and joining in the fun with my siblings and the other cats in my foster home. Compared with my siblings, Tater and Crinkle, I’m a little gentler and less pushy, but I’m still very much a kitten with plenty of zoomies, curiosity, and mischief to share. I’m a TOT-ally fun little spud who never wants to miss out on the action!

My story started when my young, pregnant momma was rescued and given a safe, warm place to have her babies. That’s where my siblings, Tater and Crinkle, and I got our start. Growing up with my siblings has been lots of fun, but this little Tot is ready to put down roots with a family of her very own – maybe even with one of her siblings.

If you’re looking for a petite tabby with delicious kitten energy, a gentle nature, and a whole lot of sweetness packed into one adorable package, I might just be your perfect Tot. Come meet me and see if this perfectly seasoned little Tot is the missing ingredient in your family recipe!

Hey there, everyone! I’m Cupid, an affectionate, friendly, adventurous, and cuddly Classic tabby Maine Coon/ domestic medium hair mix fella. I must admit I’m very handsome with my bold leg stripes against a taupe background as well as dark marble swirls on my sides. When I first see Foster Meowmy, I run to greet her in hopes that she’ll pick me up. I’m in hog heaven when she settles me in her lap so she can shower me with chin scratches and head massages. To communicate my delight at all of her attention, I often turn on my purr motor so loudly that she has to turn up the TV.

Read more about Cupid #heart-throb

I don’t play alone, but I love to engage interactively with Foster Meowmy when she waves the wand toy over my head or wiggles the ribbon stick like a snake around the room. It’s a special treat for me when I ride in my very own stroller! Foster Meowmy thinks I’m awesomely smart because I understand when she tells me “no.”

When I was about seven weeks old, I was rescued in Foster Meowmy’s neighborhood as a hungry but friendly stray with no momma or siblings in sight. I was much too young to fend for myself in the hardscrabble life, so I was delighted when she brought me to the safe haven of her home. I get along great with the resident cats, who have taught the manners that my momma would’ve if she’d been around. I’m cautious about the resident dogs, however, because I don’t like their loud barking, and so I hide.

Now I’m ready to steal the hearts of my forever family. Could that be you? Don’t dodge my arrow! Arrange to meet me today. Bullseye! One look and you're smitten. One cuddle and your heart is officially mine! I’m a great shot, and I’m aiming straight for your heart! I promise that we’ll fall head over paws in love with each other the instant we meet! At least until I turn four months old, I need to be adopted with another kitten or into a home with another feline so we can be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation.

Hey there, everyone! I’m Jagger, a Bombay mix fella who was named after Mick Jagger because, just like him, I can wail, I’ve got plenty of swagger, and I definitely have the Moves Like Jagger! I’m a sleek, handsome rock star with a shiny black coat and a personality that’s impossible to resist. I’m also a total love bug. I rub up against everything—and everyone—I meet, because I believe there’s no such thing as too much attention. My superstar persona comes out in the form of playful little love bites that quickly turn into sweet little licks. It’s just my rock ’n’ roll charm! I love pets, cuddles, and jumping after my favorite toys.

I’m charismatic, curious, energetic, and always ready to explore. There’s so much to see, investigate, and discover, and I certainly don’t want to miss a thing. I may be a bit of a Rolling Stone, but I’m always looking for my next adventure—and hopefully a hooman to share it with. With me around, there will never be a dull moment. And trust me, when it comes to love, entertainment, and personality, you can't get no satisfaction anywhere else!

When I was a hungry stray, I fearlessly charged up to my foster meowmy’s house looking for food and love – reminiscent of Mick Jagger charging onto the stage. I immediately wove through her legs, bopped around, and entertained her with my ploys. Between my playful personality, my adorable antics, and my very enthusiastic “singing,” I instantly earned myself a fan. If you’re looking for a handsome, affectionate, curious, slightly mischievous guy with serious swagger and a whole lot of heart, I think we could make beautiful music together—and maybe a little mischief, too.

I’ve got plenty of zoomies and playfulness to keep life interesting, but I also know when it’s time to curl up and relax. You might say I’m a pretty well-rounded potato — golden-crisp on the outside, sweet and cuddly on the inside! I love being held, I adore getting pets, and I want to be wherever you are. If you’re walking around, I may weave right through your legs like waffle-tater fries. I might even try to climb right up your leg because I just want to be close to you.

Read more about Tater #fried-spud-litter

My story started in a pretty sweet way. My young, pregnant momma needed a warm, protected place to have her babies, so my foster family rescued her and gave her the safe haven she needed. That’s where my sisters, Crinkle and Tot, and I got our start. I love to play with my sisters, a.k.a. the #fried-spuds, and the other cats in the house. Balls are especially exciting — I love batting them all around my foster home like a tiny professional potato athlete! I also enjoy playing hide-and-seek with my foster family. After a hard day of kitten business, my sisters and I like to pile onto the couch for a well-earned nap like a sack of potatoes.

I get along well with other cats and young kids, so I’m ready to bring my sweet, playful personality to a family of my very own. If you’re looking for a cuddly little brown tabby with a whole lot of sweetness and enough kitten energy to keep life fun, I might just be your perfect little Tater tot.

Adopt Tater #fried-spud-litter fromHOMELESS & ORPHANED PETS ENDEAVORHOUSTON, TX · listed Sep 24

30. Koko #Krunch-koala

Young (1 year 10 months) · Female · Torbie / Tabby / Mixed (short coat) · 2 mi from Houston

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.

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.

Adopting a cat in Houston

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
