Available for Adoption kitten needs a home in Houston

Kitten outside of my house in Houston, needs someone to take him in. Was crying so much I had to come outside to investigate. Please reach out if you are interested!

(audio is my brother lecturing me on not taking in another stray 😂)

What a handsome boy! Thanks for caring for/about him.

Post this on the Houston sub, too

Also, here are Greater Houston cat rescues that might know of someone who'd be willing to foster him until they can find a permanent home for him. Contact more than once (they're volunteer-run, so people don't always have time to call back), and contact all of them, even if they're 30-50 minutes from where you live.

A couple of groups that aren't on here: * Houston Area Cats and Kittens (Facebook), a group of fosters and rescues. * Friends For Life

u/catn_ip posted last year about how to rehome cats, and although the situations aren't 1:1 the same, the gist of the advice is solid (it worked!), and I think you'll benefit from it:

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and this lil dude.

Houston Area Cats and Kittens is a key place to post if you haven't lined up a home for him yet! (I have a soft spot for Texas natives because my dad was born in Galveston.)

I did a little long-distance Reddit research (I live up north) and this is what I found out, from u/Freebird_1957, who was giving advice in a similar situation:

Please post on Facebook in the Facebook group Houston Area Cats and Kittens (HACK). Include the photos, your city/zip, how she was found, that she is not chipped, that she is friendly but shy, and include that you have four cats and are looking for a rescue to take her in. Be patient, please. Rescues are overwhelmed from kitten season, cats on death row, and abandoned cats. Keep posting to raise visibility. This group has 6000 members and all the rescues and fosters are on it.
