Buddy

Buddy is a sleek, all-black "house panther" with a big heart. He arrived at our ARF in mid-April through a local grassroots rescue after being abandoned by his owners alongside his sisters, Elizabeth and Emily, when the family moved away and left them behind to fend for themselves.<br/><br/>Despite such a difficult start, Buddy hasn't let the experience dim his spirit. He is the most outgoing and confident of the trio.<br/><br/>Buddy is currently staying in one of our cage-free "free roam" rooms with a couple of other shelter cats. He enjoys being in the company of other felines and has hit it off with his new shelter friend, Hardy, who is also in the "free roam" room with him. Since he is so social with other cats, Buddy either needs to be adopted along with another cat or to a home that already has a feline-friendly resident cat for him to spend time with. <br/><br/>Sadly, black cats (and dogs) are often overlooked in shelters in favor of lighter-colored pets, even though they are just as loving, playful and wonderful as any other animal. Buddy is here to prove that black cats are pure magic. They are full of charm, affection and personality.<br/><br/>Buddy is ready to bring warmth and companionship into a lucky. If you've ever dreamed of having your own miniature panther, Buddy is waiting to meet you.<br/><br/>The shelter is open Tuesdays through Fridays 3:30-6:30pm AND Saturdays & Sundays 1pm-4pm. No appointments are needed during those times. If you are not available during those times, special arrangements for a meet and greet may be able to be arranged by emailing arfcats@bereaanimalrescue.com. Thank you for considering the adoption of a shelter animal in need!
