Pongo (FIV+)'s Story

Meet Pongo <br/>Pongo is a handsome 7-year-old gentleman with a calm soul and a heart full of love to give. At this stage in life, he’s past the high-energy kitten chaos and has settled into the perfect balance of affection and independence. He’ll happily keep you company while you relax at home, greet you with a gentle nuzzle after a long day, and remind you just how special the bond with a cat can be.<br/><br/>One of Pongo’s most endearing qualities is his role as a steady, mature guardian to younger cats. He takes new kittens under his wing, offering them baths and comfort like a doting big brother. It’s just one more way he shows his gentle, nurturing side.<br/><br/>Pongo enjoys quiet moments, cozy naps in sunny spots, and being near his favorite humans. He’s litter box trained, has excellent manners, and would thrive in a home looking for a loyal, easygoing companion. While he hasn’t shared his opinion on dogs just yet, Pongo has shown himself to be adaptable with other cats. With the right introductions, he could settle nicely into a home with friendly pets—or he’d be equally content soaking up all the love as your one-and-only.<br/><br/>Location & Transport<br/>Pongo is currently in Houston, Texas, but can be transported to the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, Colorado, or cities along the route.<br/><br/>Adoption Application<br/>Apply to adopt Pongo here:<br/>https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat<br/>—————————<br/>Why We Charge an Adoption Fee<br/>Your adoption fee covers vetting, transport, and helps fund our TNR (trap-neuter-return) work. Each adoption sponsors a spay/neuter and two vaccines for a homeless Houston cat—saving two lives with every adoption.
