🧡🤍 DOUBLE TROUBLE HAS ENTERED THE CHAT 🤍🧡

Currently causing chaos at Petsense by Tractor Supply and accepting applications for a permanent headquarters.

Meet Chaos and Karma, an orange-and-white sibling duo with two brain cells, one shared mission, and absolutely no respect for personal boundaries.

Chaos is the CEO of Poor Decisions. His hobbies include belly rubs, stealing ponytail holders, unrolling toilet paper, and aggressively inserting himself into anything you’re trying to do. If there is mischief to be found, Chaos has already found it and probably recruited his sister.

Karma is sweet, affectionate, and just innocent-looking enough to convince everyone she had nothing to do with the missing Q-tips. Don’t be fooled. She may be shy for about 17 seconds, but once she knows you, she’ll dramatically throw herself at your feet demanding pets and affection like she’s starring in a soap opera.

Together they offer:

🧡 Free home security inspections
🧡 Bathroom escorts
🧡 24/7 emotional support services
🧡 Professional hair tie relocation
🧡 Household item quality control testing
🧡 Endless entertainment

Side effects of adoption may include:
• Laughing at kitten antics daily
• Never peeing alone again
• Finding toys in your shoes
• Being followed by tiny orange shadows
• Developing a camera roll that is 97% cat photos

If your home feels a little too peaceful, a little too organized, or if your toilet paper survives longer than it should, Chaos and Karma are ready to fix that.

📍 You can meet these adorable little troublemakers at Petsense in Orange! Available together (BOGO 1/2 off when you adopt a pair) or separately. Apply at friendsofferalstx.org to adopt!

Apply now before they convince the store employees to put them on payroll.

🎉 Happy Tails Alert! 🎉

We are excited to announce that Craig has officially found his forever home with Switch Electric! ⚡🐱

After his journey with Friends of Ferals, Craig has traded foster life for an important new role as Switch Electric’s official Shop Cat and Apprentice Electrician (they’re still working on his licensing requirements 😹).

Craig spends his days doing what he does best: supervising projects, following the owner, Parker around the shop, lounging in his favorite cat tree, and making sure everyone takes regular treat breaks. His coworkers report that he’s an excellent morale booster and has quickly become a beloved member of the team.

When he’s not inspecting electrical work or attending important meetings, you’ll usually find him stretched out in his cat tree, accepting admiration from staff and visitors alike.

Thank you to Switch Electric for giving Craig the perfect home, and thank you to everyone who supports rescue animals and makes stories like his possible. Seeing our former fosters thrive in loving homes is what it’s all about. ❤️

Congratulations, Craig! We think you’ve landed the purr-fect job. 🐾⚡

UPDATE GOAL MET AND EXCEEDED!!! $1692 RAISED!!! Thank you!!!!

🚨 MATCH DEADLINE TONIGHT! 🚨

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’ve raised $1,245 for the local community cats and the rescue cats in our care! 🐾❤️ These funds go directly toward helping us tackle our $2,500+ veterinary bill and continue providing medical care, food, and shelter to cats who have nowhere else to go.

But we’re not there yet.

A group of generous donors has offered a $1,500 matching donation, and we’re only $255 away from unlocking the FULL match! That means every dollar donated before midnight tonight gets us closer to turning $255 into $510 for the cats.

If everyone who sees this gave just a few dollars, we’d reach our goal in no time. If you can’t donate, please share this post—shares save lives, too. ❤️

🐱 Every donation helps:

🚗🐾 Success! 🐾🚗

It’s been a LONG day on the road—we’ve been driving since 9 AM—but every mile was worth it.

Our first stop was Houston Humane Society, who stepped up in a huge way and pulled SEVEN of our foster cats, including 3 FIV+ cats and 1 FeLV+ cat. These special cats often face additional barriers to placement, so we’re incredibly grateful they were given this opportunity for a brighter future.

From there, we headed to Texas Humane Heroes in Leander, who opened their doors to a mama cat and her 4 kittens from Woodville Animal Control Friends. They also accepted a mom cat with her 5 3-days-old babies and 2 older kittens from West Orange ,Texas Animal Shelter

Because Texas Humane Heroes said “yes,” we were able to save multiple families and vulnerable kittens who desperately needed a lifeline. That’s the incredible ripple effect of shelter partnerships—one “yes” can save many lives.

Today is a perfect example of how rescue works best when organizations come together. Houston Humane Society and Texas Humane Heroes helped create space, opportunities, and second chances for cats and kittens who needed them most.

We’re exhausted, a little road-weary, and have spent the entire day in the car, but our hearts are full knowing these cats are safe and on their way to brighter futures.

Thank you to Houston Humane Society, Texas Humane Heroes, Woodville Animal Shelter, West Orange Animal Shelter, and everyone who supports rescue efforts like these. It truly takes a village.

20 cats and kittens. Hundreds of miles. Countless lives changed.

And that’s why we do it. ❤️

UPDATE GOAL MET AND EXCEEDED!!! $1692 RAISED!!! Thank you!!!!

🚨🐾 $5 FRIDAY — MATCH EDITION! 🐾🚨

HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPP! 😭💚

We have FIVE amazing donors who have stepped up and agreed to match donations up to $300 each for a total match pool of $1,500!

That means if our village can help us raise $1,500 by the end of this weekend, those donations will be DOUBLED into $3,000 for the cats! 🎉🐱

Right now our veterinary bill sits at $2,435 and growing.

In just the last few days we’ve:
🐾 Taken in a mama cat and her 5 kittens from West Orange shelter
🐾 Rescued a very sick kitten from Nederland yesterday
🐾 Brought in another tiny baby found under an overpass in Groves

And that’s on top of the 43 cats currently in our care who depend on us every day for food, litter, medical care, medications, and lots of TLC.

Every single dollar helps, but if everyone who sees this gave just $5, we’d hit our goal in no time.

💥 $5 becomes $10
💥 $25 becomes $50
💥 $50 becomes $100
💥 $100 becomes $200

Please donate if you can, and if you can’t, please share this post. Our rescue village is the reason we can keep saying “yes” when animals need help.

💙🐾 **Thankful Thursday** 🐾💙

This Thankful Thursday, we want to give a huge shoutout to the incredible team at Groves Veterinary Clinic.

Rescue is often unpredictable. Emergencies happen, TNR appointments pile up, injured cats need immediate care, and somehow, through all the chaos, the staff at Groves Vet always does their best to accommodate us and the animals depending on us.

Whether it's helping us get community cats spayed and neutered, treating sick or injured rescues, answering our endless questions, or squeezing in one more cat when their schedule is already packed, their compassion and dedication never go unnoticed.

Because of their partnership, countless cats have received life-saving medical care, vaccinations, surgeries, and a chance at a better future.

From all of us at Friends of Ferals, thank you for being an essential part of our mission and for helping us make a difference in the lives of so many cats throughout Southeast Texas. We truly couldn't do this work without you.

Please join us in showing some love and appreciation to the amazing veterinarians, technicians, receptionists, and support staff who work so hard every day to care for our community's animals. ❤️

🙌🏽 Anyone can learn to TNR! Be a part of the solution!

“𝙄 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚.”
Honestly?
𝙉𝙚𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙤 𝙬𝙚.

Nobody doing TNR has extra time laying around.

😪The people trapping after work?
Tired.

😪The people setting alarms every 45 minutes to check traps?
Tired.

😪The people driving before sunrise to clinics?
Tired.

😪The people answering messages while cooking dinner, raising kids, working jobs, and barely holding their own life together?
Tired.

𝗡𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.
People just decide something matters enough to make room for it anyway.

That’s the part we wish more people understood.
𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲?
𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.

❗️Somebody rearranged their schedule.
❗️Lost sleep.
❗️Spent money.
❗️Sweated their ass off in the heat.
❗️Learned how to trap.
❗️Drove across counties.
❗️Was frustrated.
❗️Overwhelmed.
❗️Burnt out.
…𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽.

Because once you truly SEE the problem, it becomes really hard to ignore it.

This work is not built on people with unlimited time, money, or energy.

It’s built on ordinary people deciding:
“Someone needs to do something… so I guess it’s gonna be me.”

And honestly?
That mindset is the only reason any of this works at all.

The people making a difference in this community are not super human.

They’re exhausted, ordinary people who decided these “unowned” cats still mattered anyway.

Nimbus Update: Out of quaruntine and recovering well from inner ear issues! Hopefully we can put him up for adoption very soon. Follow us on TikTok for more video updates

🌾🚨 TUMBLEWEED HAS OFFICIALLY BLOWN INTO Petsense by Tractor Supply! 🚨🌾

After drifting across the prairie (okay, maybe just from his foster home), Tumbleweed has rolled his way into Petsense and is now accepting applications for his forever human. 🐾

This long-legged tabby gentleman is the feline equivalent of that one chill friend who just vibes. He’s curious, sweet, loves people, gets along great with other cats, and would happily supervise all of your daily activities from a respectful distance.

His hobbies include:
🌾 Being adorably lanky
🌾 Watching everything with intense curiosity
🌾 Making friends with cats
🌾 Attempting to make friends with dogs through carrier bars
🌾 Existing as a certified Good Boy™

When Tumbleweed arrived at his foster home, he immediately wanted to know all about the resident cats. He also spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to introduce himself to Rusty the dog by reaching tiny paws through his carrier like, “Excuse me, sir, do you have a moment to discuss friendship?” 🐶🐱

If your home is missing a sweet, easygoing tabby with legs for days and a heart of gold, come meet Tumbleweed at Petsense before he blows away into someone else’s family! ❤️

Visit him at Petsense in Orange, TX at 2264 MacArthur Dr or apply to adopt at friendsofferalstx.org!

👑 ALL HAIL EMPEROR KUZCO! 👑

No touchy. 😼

Okay, maybe a little touchy. Especially if it comes with pets, snacks, and a comfy lap.

Kuzco, our handsome orange juvenile cat, has officially moved into his royal palace at Petsense by Tractor Supply and is ready to find his forever kingdom! 🧡

Like his namesake, Kuzco is full of personality, charm, and just the right amount of dramatic flair. He’s curious, playful, and always ready to supervise your daily activities from the highest available perch. Whether he’s chasing toys, inspecting your groceries, or demanding attention from his loyal subjects, life is never boring with Kuzco around.

✨ Fully vetted
✨ Neutered
✨ Microchipped
✨ Expert biscuit maker
✨ Professional orange cat shenanigan specialist

Kuzco has traded in life on the streets for a life of luxury, and now all he needs is a family worthy of his greatness.

Stop by Petsense (2264 MacArthur Dr, Orange, TX) and meet this royal orange boy today. Fair warning: once he chooses you as his subject, resistance is futile. 🧡👑🐾
