Texas kittens in costume still hope to find forever homes (Squee Warning)

Princess Leia

Dorothy

Daenerys Targaryen

Jon Snow

Gandalf

Frido

Doctor Who

Three of the seven of the Texas kittens who went all out in a bid to find forever homes by dressing up as stars from movies and TV, are still waiting in the wings.

The cats were made famous around the globe as they posed in costumes as the likes of Princess Leia, Gandalf and Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.

Cleveland photographer and part time rescuer of strays, Wendy Robbins, 37, came up with the idea after being swamped with 17 little balls of fluff back in the spring. By the end of May she had her feline stars all dressed up and ready, but three still have nowhere to go.

Gandalf and Frodo both got lucky as people called in from all over the U.S. The tiny grey wizard cat, who was born without eyes, is flying off to Michigan in the coming weeks to his new family.

"Games of Thrones" duo Daenerys Targaryen and John Snow also found new owners.

It's the cute and cuddly cat versions of Princess Leia, Dorothy and British favorite Doctor Who that are still up for grabs.
