Every flower blooms in its own time, and Erica Bloom is living proof that sometimes the sweetest personalities just need a little time to blossom. Once a shy, reserved girl who wasn't quite sure what to make of new people and unfamiliar places, Erica has transformed into a social little sweetheart who seems determined to make up for lost time! These days, her love for attention, delicious treats, and fun toys has completely overshadowed those earlier reservations. She's discovered just how wonderful people can be, and she's making sure everyone knows it! Watch Erica in action: Erica has become quite the little social butterfly. Where she once might have hesitated to approach someone new, she now warms up quickly, especially when there's a gentle hand ready to give her some affection. And once the petting begins, don't be surprised if that little purring motor starts right up! Erica has figured out that making friends comes with some pretty wonderful benefits. One of her favorite places to be is curled up in someone's lap. She's quick to settle in, happily soaking up attention and sharing her sweet, affectionate personality. There's something especially endearing about watching a cat who once preferred to observe from a distance now actively seek out the comfort of human companionship. But Erica isn't all cuddles and purrs. She's also a playful girl who loves her toys! Whether she's entertaining herself with a favorite plaything or enjoying an interactive game with her people, Erica has a fun-loving side that's impossible not to appreciate. And if treats are involved? You've definitely got her attention! What makes Erica so special is the beautiful confidence she's developed. She's learning that new experiences don't have to be intimidating and that meeting someone new might lead to another wonderful friendship. Her progress has been lovely to watch, and her affectionate, playful personality continues to shine. Erica would love a family who enjoys the companionship of a sweet, social cat and appreciates a little personality mixed in with all those cuddles. She'd be delighted to have toys to play with, comfortable places to relax, tasty treats to enjoy, and people who are happy to welcome her into their laps. Imagine settling down after a long day and having Erica climb into your lap, her little purr filling the room as she gets comfortable. A few moments later, she might be off chasing a toy, only to return when she's ready for another round of affection. That's the lovely balance Erica brings: playful energy, sweet companionship, and plenty of love. Erica Bloom has come such a long way from the timid little kitten she once was. She's found her confidence, discovered her love for people, and blossomed into a delightful companion who is ready for her next chapter. This little flower is in full bloom, and now she's looking for a forever home where she can keep growing, playing, purring, and being loved.

Why adopt from Three Little Pitties? The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is the highest in the nation. Statistics show that there are over 1 million homeless animals in this region alone. Three Little Pitties Rescue is a nonprofit dog and cat rescue that partners with the community to make a difference. Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and saving all breeds of dogs and cats from the streets or animal shelters that oftentimes have no other option but to euthanize animals for space. This kitty you’ve found online is lucky to be in our program, and even luckier to have you notice it! Three Little Pitties Rescue (3LP) wants to set you and your new family member up for success! In addition to a fully vetted furbaby you also receive other additional perks such as a code for a free bag of cat litter AND a code for 50% off a 2nd bag of litter from Catalyst Pet, coupons for a fun visit to Petco, and support through our Facebook Adopters group where you can connect with thousands of other adopters, 3LP volunteers, fosters and staff. We seek to adopt to families who understand that these are rescues and will require continued efforts but are well on their way to being the best kitties that they can be! We ask that you give them time (can take weeks to months) to decompress in their new home, do slow introductions to other pets and let their true personalities have a chance to come through. We celebrated our 7 year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 16,000 very lucky dogs and cats into amazing homes! By adopting from us, you save TWO lives! The pet you adopt, and you create an opportunity for another animal to be saved in that spot. Together, we can be heroes.
