Peanut

Accepting Early Applications

Peanut is a little over 2 months old—a ginger boy in the purest sense of the word: high-energy, sweet, playful, and endlessly entertaining. He loves food and toys, and would be easy to train for tricks if that’s something you’re interested in. He’s done wonderfully at the vet, during car rides, and with nail trims. We’re also working on leash walking, just in case his future family wants to continue that.

Peanut loves to wrestle with other cats, but his current foster sister isn’t interested. His foster brother, who is almost 3 years old, will occasionally play-wrestle with him. Ideally, I’m looking for a family that already has an older kitten or young cat who is playful and high-energy like Peanut.

He was initially nervous around dogs, but after a few weeks of gradual exposure, he became very comfortable. If his new family has a cat-friendly dog who is patient and gentle, Peanut would enjoy that as well.

Peanut loves people. If you lie on the floor, he’ll crawl into your hair, nudge your hand, and purr away.

Full disclosure: I am still trying to find a suitable playmate for him while he’s with us. We haven’t been successful so far, which is why I’m making him available earlier than usual—in hopes of finding him a perfect family where he can have a forever wrestling buddy. Once cleared by our vet, he will be available for adoption in mid-February

We are located in Houston, TX. We do adopt out of state, provided the family can come meet Peanut and complete the adoption from his foster home. For safety and comfort, we do not ship our kittens.

WHO WE ARE

ADOPT OUR KITTENS

Border Kitty Rescue Division was created under Border Collie Rescue & Rehab-501 (c)(3) to save orphaned kittens in Texas. Our mission is to rescue kittens, provide them with medical care and, once stable, provide basic training, enrichment and socialization. All our kittens will be raised by Border Collies, Aussies and/or fabulous mixes, so the kittens will be comfortable with dogs in general. Once you adopt from us, you will be part of our BCRRT family. We believe in a lifetime commitment and friendship. Our volunteers will stay in touch with all adopters so that we can continue supporting and sharing updates.

ADOPT OUR KITTENS

We rescue orphaned kittens that are too young to be in a shelter and ones that are sick. We treat medical issues in our foster home with our vet's guidance. We also socialize them, provide enrichment, and basic training. All our available kittens are dewormed, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, FELV/FIV tested, and microchipped prior to adoption. Our kittens must be at least 4lbs to be spayed/neutered. We don't require pair adoptions, unless the kittens are bonded. However, we prioritize applicants interested in multiple kittens. In some cases, we do out-of-state adoption. We ask all adopters to come to their foster home to meet, greet, and pick up the kittens where the kittens are more comfortable. To avoid the added stress, we do not ship our kittens. Applications are not considered on a first come first basis, but based on match.

HOW TO HELP

Border Kitty Rescue relies on donations and volunteers to save kittens. Our adoption fees do not cover the cost of care we provide for each kitten. As a non-profit/volunteer based organization, we are able to save more kittens and provide quality care thanks to the generous support from our community!
