THUMBED A RIDE TO NIRVANA FROM A GAS STATION DOB 11/22/25 Hey there, everyone! I’m Venus, a super-sweet, snuggly, and playful black and white tuxedo gal, and it was no accident that I was named after the goddess of love and beauty! I adore lying on Foster Meowmy’s lap with my belly up, and I make sure that my purr motor is turned up to high volume. When my sister Charm and I were about three months old, a Good Samaritan found us at a southeast Houston gas station. Thank heavens she rescued us as friendly but orphaned strays since our momma was nowhere in sight. We eventually landed in the safe haven of our Foster Meowmy’s home, where we tumble and pounce, climb and wrestle with each other until we’re exhausted and then collapse in a kitten puddle. As we gobble up all the yummy food now, the hardscrabble days of scrounging for food at the gas station are far away in our rear-view mirror. Now I’m ready to use my winsome personality to rule as the tiny goddess of love and beauty in my forever family. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! I promise to leave tiny paw prints all over your heart. Although we’re available separately, Charm and I think it’d be the cat’s meow if we could be adopted together. We could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation. HOPE ID 26-0309-S002 Venus’ $125 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites.
