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

Ernie is the definition of a happy, fun-loving kitten. At around three months old, he is bursting with personality, sweetness, and that irresistible kitten charm that makes it impossible not to fall in love. He is incredibly people-oriented and thrives on attention, happily soaking up pets and affection any chance he gets. If you’re sitting down, there’s a very good chance Ernie will be right there with you, ready to be loved.

From the moment he enters a space, Ernie’s confidence shines. He doesn’t hesitate to explore, investigate, and make himself completely at home. New environments, new toys, new people—he takes it all in stride with curiosity and excitement. He’s the kind of kitten who adjusts quickly and brings a sense of comfort and ease wherever he goes because he’s just so naturally open and friendly.

Ernie is also a total goofball when it comes to play. He has that playful, slightly silly energy that makes every interaction feel fun. He chases toys with enthusiasm, pounces with perfect timing, and sometimes seems to invent his own games just to keep things interesting. His playful spirit is contagious—you can’t help but smile watching him bounce around and enjoy life to the fullest.

One of the most special things about Ernie is how much he loves to play with Bert. The two of them together are pure joy. They wrestle, chase, tumble, and zoom around like a perfectly matched team of tiny acrobats. It’s not just play—it’s a full performance. They bring out the best in each other, balancing energy, companionship, and comfort. After their energetic play sessions, you’ll often find them curled up together, completely content and peaceful.

Beyond the playfulness, Ernie has a very sweet and affectionate side. He enjoys being pet, leans into attention, and genuinely seeks out human connection. He’s not just a kitten who plays hard—he also loves to be close, making him a wonderful companion for someone looking for both fun and affection.

Ernie is the kind of kitten who will grow into a loving, confident, and engaging cat. He will keep your days bright, your home lively, and your heart full. If you’re looking for a kitten who is equal parts playful, affectionate, and full of personality, Ernie is ready to bring that happiness into your life.

Why adopt from Three Little Pitties?

The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is the highest in the nation. Statistics show that there are over 1 million homeless animals in this region alone. Three Little Pitties Rescue is a nonprofit dog and cat rescue that partners with the community to make a difference. Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and saving all breeds of dogs and cats from the streets or animal shelters that oftentimes have no other option but to euthanize animals for space. This kitty you’ve found online is lucky to be in our program, and even luckier to have you notice it!

Three Little Pitties Rescue (3LP) wants to set you and your new family member up for success! In addition to a fully vetted furbaby you also receive other additional perks such as a code for a free bag of cat litter AND a code for 50% off a 2nd bag of litter from Catalyst Pet, coupons for a fun visit to Petco, and support through our Facebook Adopters group where you can connect with thousands of other adopters, 3LP volunteers, fosters and staff. We seek to adopt to families who understand that these are rescues and will require continued efforts but are well on their way to being the best kitties that they can be! We ask that you give them time (can take weeks to months) to decompress in their new home, do slow introductions to other pets and let their true personalities have a chance to come through.

We celebrated our 7 year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 16,000 very lucky dogs and cats into amazing homes! By adopting from us, you save TWO lives! The pet you adopt, and you create an opportunity for another animal to be saved in that spot. Together, we can be heroes.
