Cinder (Available with bonded friend Sierra) Domestic Medium Hair Mix Terryville, CT

Hi there, Im Cinder!

Im a beautiful black long-haired girl with a soft spirit and a lot of heart. I came to Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) from a tough hoarding situation along with three other cats. Now, its just me and my brother Sierra left, still waiting for our forever homeand were hoping to find it together!

A Little About Me
Im still working on building my trust with people, but Ive made so much progress thanks to the love and patience of the volunteersand with the help of my brave and outgoing brother, Sierra. When new people walk into the room, I sometimes give a little hiss just to let them know Im cautious, but dont worryIm harmless! With slow and gentle approaches, Ill come over for pets, especially when Sierra shows me its safe.

Heres what makes me special: I love to play, especially chasing the laser pointer and batting around toys.
I adore my brother Sierrawere often found snuggled up together or rubbing against each other for comfort.
I enjoy gentle pets from trusted volunteers and am learning every day that human affection is a wonderful thing.
I have a sweet, quiet nature and a gentle presence that brightens the room once I feel secure.
I feel most confident when Sierra is near, and he always encourages me to come out of my shell.

Sierra and I are a bonded pair, which means we must be adopted together. We truly bring out the best in each other!

What Were Looking For
A quiet, patient home where we can continue to grow at our own pace.
A loving family that will celebrate all of our little milestones.
Adults or older kids who understand that trust takes time but is so rewarding.

We are more than ready for a forever home filled with love, patience, and understanding. With your help, well continue to blossom into the playful, affectionate companions we are meant to be.

Are you ready to open your heart to two best friends who just need a little time and a lot of love? Apply to adopt us today!


Some very important things you should know when applying:

Adoption fees for young adult and adult cats are $250 ($265 if microchipped).

What our adoption fees include:

Adult cats have received a wellness exam, fecal exams to test for intestinal parasites, treated for any known/existing conditions to bring them back to health, SNAP tested for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus), and Heartworm. They have also received flea/tick preventative, have been spayed/neutered and are up to date on both their distemper and rabies vaccinations.

For all applicants:
Our volunteers do our very best to match an animals needs with that of the familys needs and desires. In an effort to be transparent, please note that we just dont know how our individual animals, many who have been through prior stress or trauma before arriving at our shelter, will react around young children who are still learning what it means to respect an animals boundaries. We are happy to have a beneficial discussion about safety between children and pets. Applicants and their family members arriving for meet and greets will be asked to sign a liability waiver upon arrival and prior to meeting our animals. Please also expect to have at least 2 visits as part of the adoption process at our shelter- one for the initial meet and greet, and one for the adoption appointment if a match is made. Its important to us that we are properly matching animals to adopters, preparing our adopters for their special adoption day, and for a lifetime of happy pet ownership with your adopted pet.
