Francesca's Story

A Day in the Life of Francesca<br/><br/>Morning light filters through the window, warming my fur as I stretch and blink myself awake. The house is quiet, just the way I like it. I tuck myself into my favorite hiding spot—safe, unseen, just observing.<br/><br/>I wasn’t always this brave. When I first arrived, I wasn’t sure if I belonged. I kept my distance, unsure if gentle voices and soft hands could be trusted. But patience, kindness, and quiet understanding have shown me that love isn’t something to fear—it’s something to lean into.<br/><br/>Now, when the day winds down, I find my place. Not in the spotlight, but in the quiet comfort of my foster’s presence. Tonight, it’s the same. He’s lying on his side, and I’ve curled up behind his knees—the perfect little nook where I feel safe. I don’t look at the camera. I don’t need to. This is my comfort zone. I’m here, I’m close, and that’s enough.<br/><br/>I dream of a forever home where I can keep learning what love feels like. A peaceful place with patient humans who will celebrate my quiet victories—like the first time I nuzzle against their hand or sit just a little closer than yesterday. A place with another gentle cat to help show me the way.<br/><br/>I may not be the first one to greet you at the door, and I may take time to come out of my shell, but if you’re willing to meet me where I am, I promise to be the sweetest, most loyal companion.<br/><br/>Could you be the one to help me write the next chapter of my story?<br/><br/><br/>https://www.familiarhearts.org/adoptable-pets

Familiar Hearts Animal Society's Adoption Policy
We always have potential adopters fill out our adoption application first so we can first vet them and make sure we approve of them as adopters before then inviting them to meet the animal(s) they are interested in. We feel this not only saves time for our fosters, it helps us get to know the applicant better and better be able to match them with the potential pet that is best for them. We always make sure everyone has a lot of time to deeply consider the adoption before finalizing it. The adoption is considered finalized after the adoption contract is reviewed and signed and the fee is paid. We then tranfer all the vet records and microchip information to the new family. We also offer behavioral support before and after adoption and one free training session with our dog trainer for dog adopters.
