My story

Pet Profile Parrot NAME: Parrot Sex: male Color/Pattern: Silver tabby Gray Breed: domestic shorthair Weight: 10+ lbs Age at intake: 12-15 weeks BDAY approx: ~Feb 15, 2024 Intake date : May 15, 2024 Coat length: short Finder: Raghad Abou-Harb Foster home contact info: Sheven Description Parrot is LARGE. A Beautiful silver gray striped tabby with a friendly demeanor. Personality Parrot and his brothers are all big boys with outgoing personalities that break through despite their initial efforts to pretend they were demure. Parrot and Flamingo were the first two of the litter of 3 kittens to decide that being friendly was more fun that acting insecure around people. Parrot loosened up a few weeks after he witnessed Flamingo making a fool of himself and getting lots of pets and scratches from people. His jealous-ly won over and he started to test the water too to see if the scratches felt as good as they looked. At first is was just butt scratches, but soon he would back up into your hand to get scratches on the back of his neck too. Then he started playing paw games with people from a safe spot, and then moving on to curiously walking around your feet, just out of reach. Now Parrot and Flamingo both come running when someone walks into their room and not just for wet food. The burly boys want pets and loving more than they even want dinner. Parrot is so gorgeous that you may just want to stare at him, but he makes sure that you don’t forget to lavish him with love and gives affection back just as must as he takes it. Background Parrot and his 2 brothers, Flamingo and Parakeet, were found at about 3 months old, in a neighborhood in SW Houston, Sugarland. They were another litter from a large colony of cats where many others had been rescued in the past 4 years. The colony is known for beautiful silver tabbies and charcoal gray cats. The cats there have been actively TNR'd (trap, neuter, returned) for years, and every year more kittens like Parrot’s show up to surprise the caretakers to indicate that the job of spaying and neutering still has more work to do. Parrot was the second in his litter to sweeten up, becoming very tame by the time they were teenagers, despite being completely feral upon arrival.
