Domestic Short Hair and Tabby Cats Available for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Jetty is part of the Bay Knoll litter of 5 who came to us in late March. They will be ready for adoption in early May. They were very very spicy when they came to us, but are mostly at a 4/5 on the socialization scale currently at 10 weeks and make progress every day. Jetty is very excited about other cats more than people, but he comes around for treats, so it won't be long until he comes around for pets, too. He was very hissy in the beginning but has never struck with claws even when picked up against his will in the early days. He still sometimes hisses if you startle him. He is an observer, and likes to play copycat. If another friendly cat is nearby and wants pets, he wants them too. I'd like to see him adopted with one of his friendly siblings to help continue to encourage his growth through observing another kitten with good behavior.

Jetty is being fostered as part of the Traps to Laps program, but will be adopted out through our Rescue. If you'd like to meet him, please fill out an adoption application on our website (instead of filling out the petfinder form) and we'll send you a scheduling link once that's complete! https://tabbystinytabbies.org/adoption-application-google
