TAFFY is the perfect black cat...except for that little white tip on her tail! We often find her perched on the highest spot she can find to keep an eye on the goings on in the cat room. Did someone say shoelaces? Hoodie string? Taffy is all over it! She'll never let you down with her antics. In other words, she's the perfect pick-me-up. She is very shy at first, but once she knows you she loves being gently petted. She's a real sweetie, curious about everything and will make a wonderful companion.
ARF volunteers are happy to talk to you about the personality of shy cats and can even share videos of affectionate behavior you may not see when you visit. We know shy cats don’t show well to potential adopters, but they still have so much love to give and when you become their person there’s nothing quite like that special bond you form.

More about this shelter
Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) is a 100% volunteer, non-profit, no-kill shelter for dogs and cats. We are funded entirely by private donations, fundraising efforts by volunteers and adoption fees.
ARF is always looking for new animal lovers to join us. We need caring people who are interested in devoting some time and effort to helping needy animals. Just a few hours a week can make a difference in the life of an animal. When you give animals the gift of your time, you'll get back as much as you give—maybe even more.
