Some animals walk into your life like they were always meant to find you — Zoey is one of those souls. TOO LONG, DIDN’T READ - SUMMARY: * Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat * Zoey is FIV+ so would do best as an only cat or with another FIV kitty! * Not a fan of young kids, would be fine with older children who understand cats and are willing to give them space when needed. * Our rescue is located in Houston, TX, and we transport our babies to wonderful adopters in the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, and Colorado (on occasion). Transport cost is included in the adoption fee. * Adoption fee (adult 1.5+ years) is $315 --- Zoey was found behind a police station, quietly waiting for someone to notice her. One kind officer saw that she wasn’t just another stray... she leaned into every gentle touch, purred at every kind word, and looked at people like she was hoping they were hers. After she was rescued, her foster found that she did have a microchip! Sadly, when but when her previous owner was contacted they did not want her back. And just like that, Zoey’s whole world changed. After nearly 6 years of being loved and belonging to a family, she was abandoned. But here’s the thing about Zoey: She loves anyway. Zoey has the softest black fur and four perfect little white paws. She looks like a perfect little princess who is always wearing ballet slippers! But her true beauty is in the way she loves people. When she trusts you, she will put her front paws on your chest and gently press her face to yours, purring the kind of purr that settles right into your heart. It feels like she’s saying, “Thank you for seeing me.” She wants to be close. To be someone’s comfort. Someone’s quiet companion. Someone’s home. Zoey may prefer to be the only cat, not because she doesn’t have love to give, but because she gives it all to you. She just wants to be your cat. Your lap buddy. Your warm spot in the morning sun. Your soft place to land at the end of the day. She has already known what it’s like to not be wanted. We think it's way past time for her to know what it feels like to be chosen forever! If you are looking for a companion who will love you with a depth and devotion that feels rare and special… If you have a quiet spot beside you that’s waiting to be filled… If you believe that some hearts are meant to meet each other… Zoey is waiting for you! --- Zoey does well with calm kitties -- she and her foster brother Finn (both FIV+) get along fabulously. FIV is not extremely contagious and is mainly spread through deep bite wounds from cat fights (something she is not prone to!) That said, her safest home may be as an only cat or with another FIV+ kitty. She has never interacted with a dog, but with his genial personality (and proper introductions) he could do great with a calm and respectful pup. She is approximately 6 years old, spayed, microchipped, FIV+ (but FeLV and Heartworm negative), and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. She does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy... All she needs now is a forever home! The adoption application can be found here:

 Zoey is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along these routes.

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!
