Cooper

Hi there, I’m Cooper—a 10‐month‐old black‐and‐white tuxedo boy with a soft spirit and a whole lot of potential. I may not be the first cat to run up and greet you but give me a little time and a few tasty treats, and you’ll start to see my shy charm unfold.<br/><br/>I came to the shelter with my two brothers, Cedric and Cecil, unsure of people, but lately I’ve been discovering that gentle pets aren’t so scary after all. I’ll cautiously lean in for affection, especially when I know you’re someone who respects my space. I’m still learning how to trust, but every day I take another brave step forward.<br/><br/>One thing I am sure about? Other cats. I get along beautifully with feline friends and feel more confident when I have a buddy nearby. A home with one or both of my brothers or another calm, friendly cat would help me settle in and feel safe.<br/><br/>My dream home is quiet, patient, and understanding—somewhere with a cozy cat cave where I can tuck myself away when I need a break, and a sunny window where I can watch the world go by. If you’ve got those things and a gentle heart, I think we could be a perfect match.<br/><br/>I’m already neutered, up to date on my vetting, and ready to start the next chapter of my life with someone who sees the sweetness behind my shy exterior. Did you know I'm also a perfect litter box user? All three of us are!<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a companion who will blossom under your care, I’m your boy. Let’s take this journey together. 💛 <br/><br/>Some very important things you should know when applying:<br/>Adoption fees for young adult and adult cats are $250 ($265 if microchipped).<br/>What our adoption fees include:<br/>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.<br/>For all applicants:<br/>Our volunteers do our very best to match an animal’s needs with that of the family’s needs and desires. In an effort to be transparent, please note that we just don’t 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. It’s 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.<br/>Please double check your application for completeness and accuracy prior to submitting it to us. Please be as thorough as possible when answering application questions as the more you elaborate, the more information we have to consider, the more likely we are to have a full picture of the care, support, and love our cats/kittens will receive for their adopted lifetime and your particular application will be at the top of our mind when placing cats/kittens in their chosen forever homes.<br/>You can complete an application at ARFCT.org and submit it to our email at arfct.adoptions@gmail.com for consideration. Thank you!
