Meet Our Residents

3D is the mama of the *only* litter of kittens ever born here at the Commune to date. She was found already pregnant in a parking lot in south Houston right after we moved here in 2011 and before we had any connections in the area.

Joxxer was a feral kitten who broke into our main enclosure.

Kili is one of five brothers born to a neighbor’s free roaming cat. His siblings are Flint, Billy Bones, Charlie Weasley and Bill Weasley.

Lupin came to us as a shooting victim. He had no control over his rectum or bladder and had to be expressed daily. Over time, and with medication, he regained his ability to potty on his own.

Mama Dunn came to us from one of our neighbors. She was a stray that was dropped off in the neighborhood and had kittens in their garage.

Munchkin was a kitten that Mimi brought home that had some behavior issues. She was prone to biting without warning and would lunge at people’s faces. Matt dedicated his time to making her understand that people could be trusted and she bonded with him.

OB1 came to the Commune with his feral mama and two sibblings during a TNR project. Once the kittens were old enough to be weaned mama was fixed and returned

This beautiful boy is Crane (as in Ichabod, thanks for the name Toni Jo!). He is a neutered male that started hanging around our clinic about the same time a box of kittens was abandoned at our clinic front door. Mimi would see him every couple of days - darting under a fence or hiding around a corner. He gradually became braver, and started spending his days under one of the doctor's vehicles.

Dot is one of the only litter ever born here at the Commune to mama 3D – along with brothers Wakko and Yakko (named along with for the Warner siblings) and brothers Gandalf and Yeti. Wakko, Yakko, and Dot are all solid black, and being in a new city with no connections at the time, we decided not to fight the fight of getting them adopted.

Ivy was found flying solo in a garage at approximately 2-3 weeks of age. We do not know why she was alone, but her mamma didn’t return in what the finder felt was a reasonable time. Knowing we did rescue, and not knowing what to do with a kitten with eyes barely open, she called us and Mimi went and got her.

Lightning and her brother, Thunder, were trapped as stray, borderline feral kittens and brought into the clinic to be adopted out. They were difficult to manage even after several weeks of socializing by the clinic staff, so they came to the Commune.
