Ruben's Story

Ruben came to ARC after being rescued with more than 20 cats from a hoarding situation. He and four other kitties came to ARC. He was very protective of his friends and was a source of comfort to them, especially during their integration time. <br/><br/>Now, the group is more confident and not in need of his protective oversight. He moved into the FIV room (although his is not FIV positive) with Margo and now Sourdough. Margo seems to enjoy the company, but is not super interactive with other kitties. However, after just 24 hours, Ruben and Sourdough are snuggle buddies!<br/><br/>Ruben seems to do best with at least one other kitty, he definitely enjoys his kitty friends! With time and patience, he seems to become more comfortable with people, but he is very much in tune with other cats. <br/><br/>Interested in meeting Ruben (and maybe Sourdough!)? You can fill out an adoption application on our website, https://animalrefugecenter.org/adoption-application/. If you have questions about Ruben or the adoption process, hit the inquiry button and we'll be in touch!

Animal Refuge Center Inc.'s Adoption Policy
The Animal Refuge Center screens all prospective pet adopters before adoption. Adopters must be prepared to provide references in order for an application to be approved. We ask for a veterinarian reference for current or past pets and we inquire as to your responsibility in keeping up with spay, neuter, vaccinations and other prevention. It will make the process faster and smoother if you ensure the information provided is accurate. Adopters must be 18 years of age or older, have a valid ID, have a phone and be responsive. Adopters must be able to financially and emotionally provide the appropriate daily care, as well as required vet visits for regular check ups and in the case of illness or injury. Adopters who rent or lease their homes must have approval from landlords or property managers to bring a new pet into the home. No gift adoptions. The primary guardian must be present for the adoption and must agree to the terms of the adoption by signing the adoption contract. Incomplete or inaccurate applications are subject to disapproval for that reason alone. Pets are family members and deserve the same respect, planning and care as any other member of a home. Please be sure you and your family are ready to commit to a pet for their entire life (up to 20+ years), including difficult times, moving, a break up, etc. We understand that life happens, but it is important to know that animals surrendered to us and other rescues/shelters are scared and confused, and they can become very depressed and sick. When you adopt you are responsible for their health and wellbeing, do right by them and they will do right by you!
