Meet shy and quiet Marie this CAT-urday 🐱 Shy

Meet shy and quiet Marie this CAT-urday 🐱
Shy kitties like Marie are often looked over because they're nervous and timid, but all they need is a welcoming, patient home to come out of their shell. Marie is only 9-months-old and was so nervous upon arrival to TXHH that she would not even come out of her hiding spot. She's already showing great improvement in Kitty Kondo 7 and openly lounges in the cat trees. She would do great in a calm home with another confident cat to show her the ropes. Visit Marie today at TXHH Leander Adoption Center! .

Texas Humane Heroes rescued 14 animals today! These animals are from Waco and Woodville areas. Humane Society of Central Texas sent out a plea for a momma and her 8 puppies to get them somewhere safe and into foster. We responded and the pups are now going into foster! Thank you to our shelter partners and to our amazing foster community. They will stay in foster for a few more weeks to grow. To view adoptable pets visit HumaneHeroes.org

*Adoptions are first-come, first-serve basis once the animal is available. We only accept holds in-person for adult animals only once they become available. .

6-year-old Jasper is in need of a loving and patie

6-year-old Jasper is in need of a loving and patient home. He has only been at TXHH Killeen Adoption Center for a month and a half, and has come back twice. He is the cutest, fluffiest boy you’ve ever seen! But he can be shy and fearful of fast movements. He needs a calm home that knows how to handle his boundaries. A home with older teenagers or no children who will give him scratches at his leisure and maybe even a well matched pup would be perfect for Jasper! Visit this handsome man at TXHH Killeen Adoption Center and maybe you’re his perfect match ❤️
