We hope you had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family!

We'd like you to meet Hope, a resilient 1-year-old black and white tuxedo kitty with a heart as big as her striking markings. This young mama was brought to the shelter just after giving birth to her first kitten, still in active labor and facing the unknown. Overwhelmed by the stress, she refused to eat, putting her health at risk. Thankfully, the shelter reached out to Texas CARES, and Hope—along with her six precious newborns—was quickly transferred to the care of their medical coordinator.

A prompt vet visit uncovered anemia and an infection, but with a boost of B12 and antibiotics, Hope began her road to recovery. Now, at 15 days old, her kittens are thriving with supplemental feedings, while Mom is finally feeling like herself again: eating heartily and lactating to nurture her little ones. Hope's journey from hardship to healing is a testament to her strength, and she's ready to share her gentle, loving spirit with a forever family that can give her the peaceful home she deserves.

We hope you are enjoying your Holiday! We wanted to share an update from adopted kitty, Percy! You may recall Percy is blind, but that has not stopped him from living his best life with his wonderful family!

"Our little boy is still so sweet as ever. We took him to get a holiday picture today and he stole everyone's hearts! We just love him so much, he wakes us up in the morning with head bonks and the squeakiest meow and is just my little shadow as I move throughout the house. We're just so grateful to you (his Foster) and the rest of the Texas CARES Team for giving his life a chance and allowing us to have the sweetest little creature join our family."

Our hearts are full of joy!

Best wishes for a wonderful Holiday Season to all of you!

Hi friends, it’s me — Gorton 💙

I wanted to pop in with a little update from my tiny-but-mighty self. Back in October, I got some scary news when I was diagnosed with FIP. But Texas CARES never gave up on me and thanks to your generosity and donations, I was able to start treatment and keep on fighting like the brave boy I am.

I strutted into the vet’s office at North Colony Animal Clinic in early December and made everyone very proud — I’ve gained a full pound in just under a month! My bloodwork is improving, my energy is climbing, and my trademark sass has officially returned. 😼✨

I’ve got about one more month of treatment left, with another vet check-in at the end of this month. Fingers — and paws — are crossed that I’ll keep heading in the right direction.

Thank you for loving me, cheering me on, and helping give me the chance to grow up strong. I’m wishing all of you a wonderful holiday season… but I’ve gotta run now — there’s a Christmas tree nearby that’s looking way too confident and absolutely needs to be knocked down. 🎄🐾💙

We hear it's the first day of Winter! Sure doesn't feel like it! But when those cooler temps do come, be sure you've got your furkids inside and warm.

If you do care for outdoor kitties, remember to put STRAW in your outdoor cat houses. Straw repels moisture and insulates, while hay absorbs water, becomes cold, damp, moldy, and can freeze, making it dangerous for cats.

Stay warm, friends!

Today is the last day our kitties will be at our Prosper PetSmart Adoption Center before they go on Christmas break! Stop by and say hi! We'll have folks there from 12-3!

My name is Pigeon! But I'm not a birdie! I do love to watch the birdies from the window though! Maybe I can do that in my forever home!
