Chepita is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, or locations along their route.

Chepita, her mom, and her 5 siblings were all surrendered to a City Shelter where they were scheduled to be euthanized. Rescuers managed to scoop them all up and save them just in time—we know their story has a happy ending and will only get better from here!!

Chepita has the sweetest little face and an expression that's equal parts curious and thoughtful. She's the kind of kitten who likes to take in the world before diving in, watching everything with those big golden eyes before deciding it's time to investigate. Once she's comfortable, her playful side shines through, and she's always ready for a game, a sunny windowsill, or a cozy spot beside her favorite people.

Gentle, observant, and incredibly affectionate, Chepita has an easygoing confidence that makes her a joy to be around. She loves stretching out for afternoon naps, supervising whatever you're doing from nearby, and quietly asking for attention with soft looks instead of loud demands. She has a calm, comforting presence but still has plenty of kitten silliness when the toys come out. If you're looking for a companion who's equal parts charming, cuddly, and quietly entertaining, Chepita is ready to steal your heart.

Chepita is spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in great health. She does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy. All she needs now is her forever home!

Chepita's family are Mother Muneca (F), Lucero (M), Floresita (F), Garfield (M), Catalina (F), and Carmelo (M).

Priority will be given to applicants interested in adopting a pair of kittens, siblings, or who have patient, playful resident cats or dogs at home. Information on why adopting two kittens together is best for their short- and long-term health and behavior can be found here:

ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES:
Our adoption fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and transportation costs. Also, when you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you're doing more than giving your new family member a home. Each adoption fee sponsors a cat on the streets of Houston to get fixed, helping end the cycle of overpopulation in a rough environment. We thank you so much for your contribution to our efforts!
