Ember's Story

Ember is a calm and gentle cat who simply loves being near his humans. Whether he’s snoozing on his cat bed in the living room, napping beside you while you work from home, or curling up near you while you take a nap, he’s happiest when he can quietly keep you company. And while Ember, who is 8-years-old, loves his naps, he loves chin scratches just as much! Give him a good scratch under the chin, and he’ll purr and melt right into your hand. He gets excited for his morning and evening meals and will let you know how happy he is to see his wet food about to be served with his adorable, low little meow. Ember is easy to pick up and will happily purr in your arms for a little while. He will come to you when he is looking for affection, and will rub his head on your legs or arms to show his love.<br/>Please note that Ember has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism which is very well managed with a prescription food. (Ember can't take the usual oral medication for this.) He also has a mild heart condition which has improved since his hyperthyroidism is now well managed.<br/>Ember's foster parent says: "If you’re looking for a gentle, laid-back companion who is happiest spending his days napping nearby, enjoying chin scratches, and quietly keeping you company, Ember may be the perfect cat for you. As his current foster, my roommates and I loved having Ember with us. He brightens our days and are confident that he will do the same for his adopters." Ember is being fostered in Somerville.

Broken Tail Rescue's Adoption Policy
Our Adoption Process Broken Tail Rescue is looking for responsible and caring people to give a dog or cat their much-needed second chance at happiness. To adopt from us, you must first complete an application, which you can complete online here: https://www.brokentailrescue.org/adopt/ Once we receive your application, the foster parent or application team will be in touch with you within a few days to discuss the application and the pet you are applying for. If the pet is a good match for your family, you will then be asked to meet the pet at the foster parent’s home, if applicable, or come to one of our cat adoption centers during our adoption hours. We ask that all members of the household come out to meet the pet. If you are applying for a dog, all current dogs in the household need to come meet the dog as well. If the animal is a good fit for your home (canines only), we will then check your references. We ask for two personal references and the name of the vet that you currently use or have used in the past. The last step in the adoption process is the home visit (canines only). We just want to make sure your home is generally a safe place for the pet to live and confirm the address listed on the application. After the home visit, the adoption can be completed! Paperwork is completed at the foster home, and you can take home your new pet! While the process may seem extensive, it generally is not a long, drawn-out process – we can move as quickly as schedules allow, and most adoptions are completed in under a week. However, we feel it is important to take time to make sure we are matching the pet to the correct home. We would hate for a pet to be returned to us because of a hasty decision. Adoption Guidelines The following are just a few initial guidelines you should consider before deciding to adopt: Some adoptions will require adopters to enroll the dog in training classes as a condition of adoption There may be additional adoption requirements for puppies (puppy socialization classes, someone home during the day, etc.) Renters must have landlord’s permission Adopters must be 21 years of age or older All adoptive homes must be stable, supportive, and capable and willing to meet all financial and veterinary needs of the animal Adoption Fees Adoption fees help defray the cost of transportation, care, and medical treatment. Dogs Our adoption fees are generally between $300 and $400 for most adult dogs and puppies and are decided on a case-by-case basis. All dogs adopted from Broken Tail Rescue will be spayed or neutered, receive a veterinary exam, be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested and started on preventive, dewormed, given flea and tick treatment if needed, and microchipped. Cats Our adoption fee varies by age for cats and kittens: 1 Kitten (under 12 months): $350 2 Kittens: $650 1 Young Cat (1-4yrs): $275 2 Young Cats: $500 1 Adult Cat (5-9 yrs): $225 2 Adult Cats: $400 Senior (10+ yrs): $150 Special Needs Cat: $150 or TBD 2 Senior or Special Needs: $250 or TBD All cats adopted from Broken Tail Rescue will be spayed or neutered, receive a veterinary exam, be up to date on vaccinations, FeLV/FIV tested, dewormed, given flea and tick treatment, and microchipped.
