Jules #belly-rub-king - Abyssinian and American Shorthair Cat for Adoption in Houston, Texas

TICKED TABBY COAT MIMICS EXOTIC AFRICAN WILDCAT

DOB 3/15/26

Hey there, everyone! I am Jules, a sweet, gentle, and playful Abyssinian mix fella whose unique “ticked” tabby coat mimics the exotic appearance of an African Wildcat. When I was about six weeks old, a Good Samaritan found me hiding in the engine of a car with no momma or siblings in sight. Since Foster Meowmy had taken another rescued kitten off this Samaritan’s hands about a year ago, she turned again to Meowmy for help in finding a great family to adopt me.

Thank heavens Meowmy agreed to bring me to the safe haven of her home. When I first arrived, I was understandably a little overwhelmed to go from cowering in a car engine to being in a foster home that was bustling with the activity of kids, foster kittens, as well as resident dogs and cats. Fortunately, Foster Meowmy understood my initial shyness and that it would take time and patience for me to open up. She encouraged me with yummy treats as well as interactive play with wand toys and the red laser dot, and --voilà! -- I transformed into a fella who now loves belly rubs!

Every day Mabel and Usher, two foster kittens who are about my age, and I tumble and pounce, climb and wrestle until we’re exhausted and collapse in a kitten puddle. The resident adult cats have been my surrogate aunts and uncles who have shown me all the manners that Momma would've taught me if she'd been around. Now I’m ready to swat the feathered wand toy, scramble after the red laser dot, and receive belly rubs from my forever family. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU!
