Rose Tyler

Rose Tyler was named so after the companion from Dr. Who. She is just wibbly-wobbly. She wobbles and shakes when she walks, often falling over. Despite this, she is an energetic, happy girl. She is also fearless and fierce.

Mr. Chibbs

One day Mr. Chibbs arrived at work with the intent of helping save lives. For many years (in cat time), he had been a blood donor and was proud of the work he was doing. Unfortunately, Mr. Chibbs arrived to a pink slip and an eviction notice.

Aust

Aust used to live with his beloed owner n a warehouse apartment. His owner was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. He set up a fund for the care of Aust and his other 4 cats. After he passed, all 5 cats were cared for by a petsitter for an entire year. The petsitter knew about the Commune and suggested us as a permanent home for the cats.

Aries

Aries passed away suddenly on February 8, 2022 at the age of 6. His memorial page can be found here. ARIES

Aries is our resident superstar! He was found at a local car wash late on a Saturday night army crawling out of the bushes by a teenage boy whose whole family are animal lovers. They took him in that night, but knew they were in way over their heads. They put out a Facebook SOS the next morning. The magic of networking led that post to us, and I (Mimi) immediately contacted them and went and picked him up not knowing what we were getting into besides a kitten paralyzed from the waist down.

Lumiere

Lumiere was one of a batch of kittens that the Commune took in less than a week after Aries was found. At only a few weeks old they were slated to be put to sleep at Harris County due to a lack of space. There were 4 total. Eventually 2 were adopted – Sooty and Flame; Lumiere and Ash stayed at the Commune.

Mad Eye Moody

At the Commune, you never know what the next situation will be. One day, Mimi got a call that broke her heart. A concerned woman saw that her local feral cat colony, who she kept an eye on, were all injured. These 6 cats were fixed, always fed, and watched over and she was surprised when all, but one returned with injuries and signs of severe abuse. Mimi sprang into action and set up traps to catch the cats to get them treated. She suspected that a neighbor might be the culprit and knew that the cats needed to leave the area, or their lives would be in constant danger.

Waffles

Waffles is another kitten that showed up in our yard. He has a chronic cough so we never put him up for adoption. He is not the most social guy, but is friendly enough when we need to work with him.
