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

Lucero, his mom, and his 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!!

Lucero is impossible to overlook with his striking silver-and-white coat, elegant long legs, and soft green eyes that seem to be studying everything around him. He has a calm confidence that makes him feel wise beyond his kitten months, but don't let his dignified appearance fool you—he still has a wonderfully playful side and loves joining in on games with his siblings.

Sweet-natured, affectionate, and endlessly gentle, Lucero is happiest when he's close to his people. He's the kind of kitten who enjoys being scooped up for cuddles, quietly keeping you company while you work, or stretching out in a sunny window to watch the world go by. He has a peaceful, reassuring presence that makes every room feel a little calmer, and his affectionate personality shines through in the way he leans into pets and happily settles in beside you for a nap. If you're looking for a kitten who's equal parts graceful, loving, and easygoing, Lucero is ready to become your new best friend.

Lucero is neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in great health. He does a great job of keeping his litterbox tidy. All he needs now is his forever home!

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

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!
