PDA PAWLERT!
Tilly, the calico, would like everyone to know that Stella is still her baby and apparently cannot be trusted to wash behind her own ears—which is obviously why, according to Tilly, they must be adopted together.
Stella would like everyone to know this is deeply embarrassing and happening in public at the @PetSmart Balcones Woods Adoption Center. And guess what, Stella's dad Benji is there too!
When their caregivers’ advancing health issues meant they could no longer care for them, New Hope stepped in to prevent this mother-and-daughter pair (and dad) from having to enter a shelter. Now they’re safe with us—and putting their entire relationship on display for anyone who walks by.
Tilly is sweet, affectionate, talkative, and clearly committed to making sure her daughter looks presentable. Stella is a loving little kitten who still enjoys cuddling with her mama, even when Tilly takes the grooming a little too far.
They may not carry an official “bonded pair” label, but just look at them. We would really love to see Stella and Tilly adopted together so they can continue sharing cuddles, companionship, and unsolicited baths.
Come meet them at PetSmart Balcones Woods and apply to adopt through New Hope Animal Rescue. #PicMe #catadoptions #austincatrescue PetSmart Charities PetSmart

Please consider opening your home to Bernie. We need to find him a soft place to land by tomorrow, his deadline.

@Our adoption center volunteers take the cattery laundry home to wash, and Pee Wee caught on. He climbed into the laundry box and tried to stow away. 😂
He didn’t find his forever home this weekend, but so many other pets in our care did during National Adoption Week. Let’s keep that momentum going for Pee Wee and Manchas, who are still waiting for homes. ❤️
You can meet them at PetSmart Lakeline when our volunteers are on site and apply to adopt at NewHopeAnimalRescue.org.
Please share to help these two get noticed!
