Texas Rascals (Billy Bob & Peggy Sue)

Accepting Adoption Applications for the Texas Rascals (Phase 1)

Billy Bob and Peggy Sue will be ready for adoption once they’re vaccinated, tested, spayed/neutered, and cleared by my vet. We do adopt out of state, as long as the adopting family can meet them in person and pick them up in Houston, TX. I’ll guide you through the entire process so it’s as smooth and low-stress as possible for everyone involved!

These two are not siblings and not bonded in the traditional sense, but I am opening Phase 1 to families who are specifically interested in adopting them together.

Billy Bob is an active, social, confident, and wild ginger boy. He loves people, dogs, and other kitties. He has a lot of energy and enthusiasm for life, but he’s also learning to settle down and enjoy cuddles on a lap or chest. He gives the loudest, instant purrs the moment we pick him up.

Peggy Sue is playful too, but she’s much more delicate and sensitive than Billy Bob. She prefers the company of other kitties, but she is also comfortable around gentle, respectful dogs. Her sweet personality shines when she’s given patience, understanding, and a soft approach.

If adopted together, Billy Bob and Peggy Sue would do well in a home with or without other friendly cats or cat-friendly dogs, as long as introductions are done slowly and appropriately. Billy has the potential to become an adventure kitty, while Peggy would be perfectly happy as an indoor-only cat.

Both are comfortable riding in my car and having their nails trimmed. Peggy may take a little longer to warm up to new people and new environments, but once she feels safe, she’ll happily offer gentle head nudges and purrs.

They play well together and sometimes sleep together, but they are not inseparable. I am opening pair adoption at this time because keeping them together would make the transition easier for them.

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!
