Meet Willow: A Shy Beauty with a Brave Heart

Hello, dear humans! My name is Willow, and I have quite the story to share with you. I'm a young black cat who found herself roaming the streets, pregnant and scared. Luckily, I was taken in by some wonderful fosters and volunteers at ARF who cared for me during my pregnancy.

Life has been a journey for me, and now I'm ready to take the next step: finding my forever home. I may still be a bit shy, but I've come a long way from my feral days. I'm here in the shelter, having given birth to three adorable kittens, who have all found their own loving homes.

Let me tell you a bit about myself. I'm a quiet soul who appreciates the simple joys in life. I get along just fine with other cats, as long as they're not too boisterous, and just quiet and independent like me. In fact, I've found comfort in the company of my feline friends in the free-roam cat room and share it with a couple females and one male cat.

While I might not be ready for cuddles and pets just yet, I'm looking for a special someone who understands that patience is the key to my heart. I envision a quiet home where I can perch in a window or a cozy cat tree, observing the world at my own pace.

I've been through a lot, and it might take me some time to fully trust and embrace the love that a forever home offers. But with the right human, I believe I can continue to blossom and reveal the sweet, gentle cat that's waiting within.

If you have a gentle touch, a kind heart, and the patience to let me unfold my story at my own pace, then I think we could be a perfect match. I dream of the day when I might become a lap cat, and I know that with time and understanding, it's possible.

So, lovely humans, if you're ready to welcome a shy but brave cat into your heart, please consider applying to adopt me, Willow. Together, we can create a loving home filled with understanding, patience, and the promise of a beautiful friendship. Please complete an application at ARFCT.org to apply to adopt me, Willow!

Some very important things you should know when applying: Our cats/kittens have been fully examined by a vet and are healthy and up to date on all shots/vaccinations. Adoption fees are $265 per kitten. For kittens, this fee also includes their future spay/neuter date which will be set up by us at the time they are mature enough (approximately 5-6 months and will also receive their rabies vaccination at that time). This fee also includes micro-chipping which will be completed at the time of spay/neuter. Our organizations long-time policy is that we do not adopt out animals to households with children aged six or younger. Sorry, no exceptions. Specifically, if you are looking to adopt Kitten(s): We are only accepting applications for kittens adopted IN PAIRS (or, singly, if you already have a young friendly cat or kitten of similar age at home for them to bond with). It's vital for proper cat behavioral development that kittens have a friendly fellow kitten or cat playmate at home they can grow and learn from. Happily, we expect our volunteers to receive an overwhelming response of applications for our kittens. Unfortunately, if your application is incomplete, we will not be able to consider it. For all applicants: 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 learn about each cat/kitten and complete an application at ARFCT.org and submit it to our email at arfct.adoptions@gmail.com for consideration. Thank you!
