3. Jules

Adult (1 year 5 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Rhome

Meet Jules, a hidden gem with a whole lot of love to give.

This one-and-a-half-year-old gray tabby with adorable little socks and a heart of gold is the total package: playful, easygoing, and an absolute cuddle bug.

Jules has the perfect balance of fun and chill. He loves batting around springs, wrestling with kicker toys, and chasing rolling balls. And why stand up to play when you can have just as much fun from a horizontal position? He’s happy entertaining himself, playing with his people, or hanging out with other friendly cats. With a proper introduction, we think he could even make friends with a dog!

Read more about Jules

But Jules’s real sparkle comes out when it’s time to settle down. He will let you know when he’s ready to find his favorite human and squeeze himself into whatever cozy spot is available. Sitting on the couch? The back of it paired with your shoulder will do! Sitting with your legs bent? That little triangle of space is absolutely perfect. Jules’s motto is basically, “Let me just scootch on in here.” Once he’s settled, he’ll curl up close and purr his little heart out. Because he’s so easy going, if you’re not around, a sunny windowsill makes a lovely backup plan.

Could you make some room in your home — and your heart — for this precious gem Jules?

5. Hilda

Adult · Female · Persian / Persian (long coat) · 26 mi from Rhome

Hilda is a shy adult cat who will need a quiet home to decompress and time to adjust to her new home. She just needs some patience and understanding that her world has changed. Once she gets to know you she will be much more comfortable and able to show you her amazing purrsonality!
Nonnegotiables: No young children. No dogs. Must have prior experience with Persians
She might be ok with another older/mellow cat if given time and space to get acquainted. Persians have specific grooming needs and we highly recommend researching before considering adopting one. We would also recommend looking for a groomer who has feline experience, particularly Persians.
Her previous mommy said she had litter box issues due to stress, since she arrived to our rescue she’s been eating Purina sensitive cat food and we are pleased to say she’s had no issues!
We ask all adopters have a plan in the event you can no longer care for this cat.
Hilda is being fostered in Colleyville, Texas.

6. Bud

Kitten (5 months 30 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Tuxedo (short coat) · 26 mi from Rhome

Meet this little tornado!

At 6-7 months old, this handsome boy is fully vetted, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Now all he needs is a family that’s ready to keep up with him!

If you’ve been looking for a calm lap cat… keep scrolling. This guy is all gas, no brakes. He bounces off the walls, turns every toy into the greatest invention ever, and firmly believes your arm is the world’s best kicker toy. (Don’t worry, he’s been offered plenty of actual kicker toys. He knows. He just has opinions.)

Read more about Bud

Like many kittens his age, he plays rough. It’s completely normal kitten behavior, and with age, playmates, and continued redirection to appropriate toys, he’ll outgrow the wrestling champion phase.

Because he’s such a high-energy boy, we’d love to see him adopted with another playful kitten close to his age. Having a feline buddy gives him someone who speaks “crazy kitten” fluently, helps burn off all that energy, and teaches good play manners much better than humans ever can.

If your home could use a little chaos, a lot of laughs, and a kitten who lives life at full speed, this goofy boy is ready to make every day an adventure.

7. Daisy

Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 26 mi from Rhome

Meet Daisy

Some cats walk into a room demanding attention. Daisy isn’t one of them… and that’s part of what makes her special.

Daisy is about 1½ years old and has a quiet, gentle soul. She’s calm, passive, and prefers to take life at her own pace. She won’t be the cat climbing into your lap five minutes after you meet her, but if you’re patient, you’ll discover that earning her trust is incredibly rewarding. The longer she’s with you, the more you’ll grow on her.

She’s been a wonderful mama, and she’s especially close with her son, Sprout, who is definitely a mama’s boy. Watching their bond has been heartwarming.

Read more about Daisy

Daisy would likely do best in a quieter home where she isn’t expected to be the life of the party. Very young or loud children probably aren’t the best fit for her gentle personality.

Her experience with other cats and dogs is unknown, so slow, thoughtful introductions would be recommended.

If your dream cat is a peaceful companion who asks for patience instead of perfection, Daisy just might be your girl. Every cat deserves someone who loves them for exactly who they are, and Daisy is ready to find that person.

Approximately 1.5 years old

Gentle, calm, and sweet-natured

Looking for a patient home where she can blossom at her own pace.

Her boys who are also available for adoption are Sprout & Bud

13. Athena

Adult (1 year 7 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 38 mi from Rhome

Athena is a super sweet girl who was a fabulous mama to 6 kittens. Now is her time to shine and be pampered. She is very loving and affectionate. She did have an accident a long time ago and her upper eye lid was cut. The 3rd eyelid fused together and keeps the eye from closing all the way, so sometimes her eye waters but is easily taken care of with a simple wipe every now and then (which does not bother her). Vet thinks vision is all good and does not foresee any issues.

Read more about Athena

Athena will rub all over her hoomans and ask for pets. She’ll be great as a single cat or with another chill cat. Athena loves feathers! She's not a big fan of dogs; perhaps a dog caused her eye injury. Athena is healthy but will need to have her eye wiped clean once or twice a day. Since the eye won’t close, there's a little bit of tear buildup. Nothing serious.

Approx dob: 12/21/24.

As cats go, Nova can brag that she's a little bit of everything. She's playful and curious, but she's also independent and easy-going at times. She's litter box trained and uses her scratching post, but she also enjoys being the center of attention.

Her favorite toy is all of them. Nova will spend hours playing, moving from one toy to another. Sometimes she'll play with people but sometimes she'll keep herself entertained. She'll squeeze in a quick nap when she's ready and then get back to the fun. She's also recently discovered the joy of sitting in a window and bird watching.

Adopting a cat in Rhome

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.
