Sierra (Available with bonded friend, Cinder) Domestic Short Hair Mix Terryville, CT

Hi there, Im Sierra!

Im a sleek black shorthaired boy with a story to tell. I came to Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) from a tough hoarding situation along with three other cats. Now, its just me and my best friend Cinder left, still waiting for our forever home.

A Bit About Us
Over the past month, Ive gained so much confidence and trust in humans. I now eagerly wait by the door for volunteers, run over for pets from my trusted friends, and love to play and rub up against my sister, Cinder. Shes still a little more on the shy side, but with my encouragement, shes been coming out of her shell more and more. When she sees me getting attention, shell come over too for gentle pets!

Heres what makes me special: I love cozying up in my bed or finding a sunny spot to relax.
I get so excited for playtime, especially when the laser pointer comes out!
I adore getting slow, gentle pets from volunteers I trust.
Im a curious guy who loves peeking out the door to see whats going on.
I love spending time with Cinderwe snuggle, play, and support each other every day.

Cinder and I are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. We truly bring out the best in one another!

What Were Looking For
A quiet, patient home where we can settle in at our own pace.
A family who will celebrate our growth and continue to help us blossom.
Adults or older kids who understand that trust takes time but is so worth it.

Both of us are more than ready for a forever home with a family who will give us the love, patience, and encouragement we deserve. With a little time and a lot of love, well continue to grow into even more confident and affectionate companions.

Some very important things you should know when applying:

Adoption fees for young adult and adult cats are $250 ($265 if microchipped).

What our adoption fees include:

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.

For all applicants:
Our volunteers do our very best to match an animals needs with that of the familys needs and desires. In an effort to be transparent, please note that we just dont 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. Its 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.
