Meet Goose! Too Long, Didn't Read Summary: - approx 6 months old - needs experienced or patient adopter to help get him out of his shell - Adoption App: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Goose and his Top Gun siblings, Rooster (available) and Maverick (adopted), are an adorable trio of tuxedo boys found under a bush in Houston. They were rescued and are safe and sound now -- they have adjusted very quickly to the good life indoors and are ready for a home of their own! Let's talk about Goose (aka Silly Goose). Goose is the most handsomest man with silky dark grey fur and a button nose that just melts your heart. He is still a very shy guy and tends to hide when he sees someone nearby, but once he is comfy and confident he absolutely loves pets. His favorite spot is on a window perch -- once he is up there he gladly accepts love and purrs like crazy. He also loves to snuggle with his humans at night. Because he's still a little shy, Goose needs an adopter who is experienced with cats, understands their personalities and quirks, and is willing to patiently help him fully come out of his shell. We try our best to socialize cats to a perfect temperament before adopting them out, but in Goose's case he is still a baby and we feel that he will do best with a lot of one-on-one attention and love that only a loving and stable home can provide. In his foster home he's one of about 10 kitties waiting to be adopted, so getting him to that next level of Confident Kitty will take longer here. This handsome fellow has so many good qualities and he is immediately lovable! Goose is obsessed with his foster siblings, especially a big adult cat named Harrison. Despite being less than half his size, Goose loves to sneak up on Harrison and pounce so he can start a chase around the house. He is a playful little guy and does great with other cats including his brother Rooster. When he's not hopping around after toys, Goose loves to curl up on his window perch to look outside and take a nap. He will often invite himself into an OCCUPIED window perch so he has a snuggle buddy... It's pretty cute. It's pretty obvious that he will become a fantastic little guy with just a little work, and we are doing a lot of practice snuggling and pets every day in the meantime! If you think you could give this gentleman the stress-free, happy home he craves, apply to adopt now! --- Goose is ~5 months old, in great health, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. He does a great job of keeping his litterbox tidy. All he needs now is his forever home! Priority will be given to applicants interested in adopting a pair of kittens or who have patient, playful resident cats or dogs at home. He's never met a dog, but with slow introductions to a calm, cat-savvy pup, we think he could learn to love a new dog friend. Adopt Goose and maybe his brother Rooster or a foster sibling, and double the love, double the purrs, and double the fun! Information on why adopting two kittens is better for their short- and long-term health can be found here: http://www.kittenlady.org/twokittens --- The adoption application can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Goose, Rooster, and Goose's best friend Harrison are currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along these routes. ——— ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: When you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you're doing more than giving your new family member a home. Each adoption fee pays for 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!
