Meet Mary! 🤎🐾<br/><br/>Hi, I’m Mary! I’m a petite, 2-year-old tabby with a big personality, an even bigger heart, and a very important question: Is your lap available? Because I would LOVE to claim it as my own! 💕<br/><br/>I've had quite the journey these past few months. I was pregnant when my former owner lost their home, and suddenly my whole world was turned upside down. Thankfully, ARF took me in and found me a wonderful foster home where I could safely raise my babies. I'm happy to report that all of my kittens have found their forever homes! I've officially retired from motherhood, and now I'm ready for someone to spoil ME for a change!<br/><br/>I've recently moved into the ARF shelter, where I've been busy charming the volunteers with my incredibly affectionate, silly personality. I'm a HUGE lap cat, and there's really no place I'd rather be than snuggled up with someone who loves me. And oh, the cheek scratches! They're my absolute favorite! When you find just the right spot, my little mouth curls up into the biggest, happiest smile. It's pretty adorable, if I do say so myself! 😻<br/><br/>Now, I should probably mention that I'm a bit of a princess. 👑 I know what I like, I appreciate being the center of attention, and after raising a whole litter of kittens, I think I've earned the right to be a little spoiled! I'd be happiest as the only cat in my kingdom, where I can soak up all the love without having to share the spotlight. That said, I lived with a friendly dog in my foster home and adjusted beautifully, so a home with a respectful canine companion could be just fine with me as long as there are slow and proper introductions!<br/><br/>I'm also a very good girl with excellent litter box manners. I enjoy watching the world go by from a sunny window, happily accept treats, and have so much love to give. My foster family thought I'd make a wonderful companion, even for someone adopting their very first cat.<br/><br/>I've been through a lot of changes, but I've handled them all with sweetness, resilience, and a whole lot of purring. I was a wonderful mama to my babies, and knowing they're all safe and loved makes my heart happy. But now? I want to be somebody's baby. ❤️<br/><br/>I'm dreaming of a home with a cozy lap, plenty of cheek scratches, a sunny window, and someone who will look at my silly little smiling face and wonder how they ever lived without me.<br/><br/>My kittens got their happy endings. Now I'm hoping it's my turn. 🏡💕<br/><br/>Could you be the one I've been waiting for?<br/><br/>🐾 Apply to adopt me, Mary, at ARFCT.org!<br/><br/>Some very important things you should know when applying:<br/><br/>Adoption fees for young adult and adult cats are $250 ($265 if microchipped). <br/><br/>What our adoption fees include: <br/><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/><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/><br/><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. You can complete an application at ARFCT.org and submit it to our email at arfct.adoptions@gmail.com for consideration. Thank you!
