Starlight Outreach and Rescue

Starlight Outreach and Rescue Starlight Outreach and Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit animal rescue, founded & led by a female veteran. Starlight Outreach and Rescue (S.O.A.R.)

is a 501(c)3 non-profit animal rescue that started with a small group of volunteers who wanted to support the efforts of Houston-area shelters to provide a better quality of life for stray and abandoned animals, medical attention beyond the scope/capabilities of the facilities, and fostering and rescue services for animals with special needs. The organization is named in honor of Emma Starlight Hy

de who was just 14 years old when she passed away unexpectedly in October 2017. Emma and her mom Shelley, with the support of their family, volunteered at shelter events, such as the annual Shelter Dog Birthday Party, and fostered baby kittens to ensure they received proper socialization and feeding during the weaning period. Emma put in a lot of time and effort to get her kittens used to interaction with and handling by people, which helped ensured all her fosters were highly adoptable by the time they returned to the shelter and were put up for adoption.

​Emma’s bright and caring spirit continues on in this organization, lighting the way for stray and abandoned pets to find their way to their forever homes.

👑 Say Hello to Princess Buttercup! 👑
Princess Buttercup may be tiny, but she has a huge personality! This sweet girl starts purring the second she spots her people and is always ready for attention and interaction. Playful, affectionate, and full of charm, she's sure to bring plenty of smiles to her future family.
One of her most adorable features is the little patch of color on top of her head — it looks just like a tiny princess crown resting on her beautiful white coat. 🤍👑
Princess Buttercup is litterbox trained, up to date on her kitten vaccines, wormed, microchipped and her spay surgery is included with her adoption.

Update on the two kittens we're helping. Unfortunately, the gray kitten, Percy, continued to deteriorate despite medical care. His finder ended up having to take him to the emergency vet and he was humanely euthanized.

His little orange brother, Megatron, is living up to his name as a fighter and continues to do well, thanks to your support!

These babies need our help! They were taken in by a Good Samaritan after their mother passed away. There were three kittens originally but one also passed. These two survivors, Percival (gray tabby) and Megatron (orange tabby), are dehydrated and malnourished and will be heading to Family Animal Hospital of Friendswood today so we can get them checked out and see what we can do to get them healthy again and eating.

If you would like to contribute towards their medical treatment, any help is appreciated.

✨ Meet Sugar ✨

With her stunning blue eyes and the soft dusting of orange on her ears and tail, we believe sweet kitten Sugar may be a Flame Point Siamese mix — and she is every bit as gorgeous as she sounds! 😍

Sugar has a gentle, thoughtful personality that makes her extra special. She’s the kind of kitten who likes to sit back and observe what her littermates are up to before deciding to jump into the fun herself. Once she joins in, though, she’s all kitten — playful, curious, and completely adorable. 🐾

One of the sweetest things about Sugar is how she greets her foster with happy little purrs the moment she gets attention. 💙

Starlight will be providing Sugar’s vaccines, veterinary care, and spay surgery when she’s age appropriate.

If you’d like to give beautiful little Sugar the loving forever home she deserves, please fill out our no obligation adoption form here:

Great news! Our last two available barn cats, Tom and Vegas, have been adopted by Blue Ridge Farms. We delivered them this morning and got them set up in their own little house where they'll stay for 6 weeks to get acclimated. Then they'll be allowed to explore outside. We're so thankful that they found a great home together because they were quite bonded.

As a side note, it's very important when you have barn cats, especially feral ones, that you confine them for several weeks to get used to their new home. Otherwise, they're likely to take off and get lost.

We wish them happy trails and a happy life on a farm run by friends and animal lovers!

Also- if you're in the Alvin/Friendswood area and you want organic, locally grown beef, chicken eggs, or duck eggs, be sure to check out Blue Ridge Farms. Their beef and eggs are top quality!

👑 Meet Princess Buttercup 👑

This little princess is a total purring machine — the moment she sees you, the motor starts running! Princess Buttercup is playful, affectionate, and always ready to interact with her foster humans. And can we talk about her adorable little splash of color on her noggin? It looks just like a tiny crown against her beautiful white coat. 🤍

Princess Buttercup is litterbox trained, and Starlight will fully vet her, including worming, kitten vaccines, and her spay surgery when age appropriate.

If you’d like to give Princess Buttercup the loving forever home she deserves, please fill out our no-obligation adoption form here: bit.ly/starlightadopt and one of our adoption counselors will be in touch! 🐾✨

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the foundation of the freedoms we hold dear.
At Starlight Outreach and Rescue, this day holds special meaning as our organization is led by a proud United States Air Force veteran.
Today, we also remember the military service animals who served alongside our troops and made the ultimate sacrifice. Their courage, loyalty, and sacrifice should never be forgotten.
As we honor the fallen, we ask you to join us in remembering both the human and animal heroes who gave so much for our freedom.

We don’t talk about horses here as often as dogs and cats, but horses are companions, partners, teachers, and friends too.

Every year, thousands of American horses are shipped across our borders for slaughter. The Lost Horses campaign is working to end that pipeline and pass the SAFE Act.

At Starlight Outreach and Rescue, we believe every animal deserves protection, dignity, and a voice.

Please watch, share, and learn more. Link to the Lost Horses website in comments.

Every year, 20,000 horses — Thoroughbreds, ex-show jumpers, Arabians, lesson ponies, wild horses, even donkeys — are shipped to slaughter in Canada and Mexico. These are not unwanted animals. They are companions. Athletes. Partners Stand with The Lost Horses and raise your voice to protect them....
