Pets of the Month:
Our Pets of the Month for July is a kindle of cats named Travis, Lexi
and Kee-Kee. Their human can openers are Robert and Karen of
Section I. Travis is a thirteen-year old tabby, (with white around his
eyes) that adopted his humans at first sight. As a stray in the
Heights, Travis was looking for a new home and he sure found a good
one with this family! He enjoys kissing his daddy’s ears, and napping
to the sounds of Miles Davis. He loves people and never shy’s away
from greeting guests. His pet sitters call him Romeo because he is so
affectionate. Lexi is a 7-year-old grey short hair that was adopted
out of the Houston SPCA. She was picked out by her daddy because
she chased her tail as a kitten. Even today, she loves to play! Her
latest favorite game is to watch videos on her momma’s laptop. She
likes the one of birds eating seed or other cats playing.
Kee-Kee is a 1 ½ year old feral cat on Karen and Robert’s back
porch. She is from a long line of ferals that have come to call this
location “home” over the last few years! Mr. Socks was the first, and
then came Gunther, and his family….then Kee-Kee. Karen had TNR’d
Kee-Kee’s mother, not realizing that Mama had kittens (she was so
tiny), and during the harsh January winter of 2010, Mama vanished,
leaving a very tiny Kee-Kee under the house. As temps plummeted
into the 30’s and below, Karen felt that TNR and a prolonged stay
indoors was in order for the tiny kitten. After several months of trying
to socialize Kee-Kee, she was let out to the back yard. Socialization
was continued, until the following winter of 2011. Where she was
forced indoors (tuna always works), and she came inside again. This
time, she was much friendlier, but still not ready for prime time! She
is now a sweet outdoor kitty that is happy to be petted and loved on!
Socialization works with those who are patient!
