About Theo

Theo's journey is truly heartwarming. Rescued from a busy Houston freeway, he initially found the world around him a bit overwhelming. This gentle kitten takes his time to trust, but with the loving support of his foster siblings, Micah and Olivia, he is learning that kindness exists. Though Theo can be timid, especially when approached from above, he becomes a different kitten when you sit down. He will gradually approach, yearning for some gentle pets. His foster mom describes him as an incredibly affectionate companion, bursting with purrs when he feels safe, often suckling on a soft blanket as he seeks comfort. Theo is in search of a loving family who will understand his need to set the pace. While he won't leap into your arms immediately, patience will be rewarded as he develops a deep bond based on trust. Ideally, Theo would thrive in a home with another confident cat to help guide him. This 5 1/2-month-old kitten is fully vaccinated, neutered, and litterbox trained. Located in Houston, TX, Theo can travel to anywhere in the States or even Canada for the right family. His adoption fee is $400 USD, and transport costs are between $200 and $250. You can meet Theo through video calls to start forming that special connection. Every animal deserves love and support on their journey. Let's make it official, apply to adopt!
