"The Golden Years" should be about rest, stability, and endless love. At 14 years old, Clementine hasn't been able to experience any of that. In September 2021, Clementine's owner died, and she was taken BARCS. As we can't resist sweet seniors in need, she quickly became a part of the AARF family. Clementine was adopted a couple months later, but was returned to AARF in March of 2023. She hadn't received any necessary veterinary care during that time, exacerbating her health issues. Since then, her foster mom has been stabilizing her back to good health - and Clementine is ready to finally find the FOREVER home in which she can live out her Golden Years. Clementine is undeniably gorgeous. She lures you in with her persistent wink (she only has one eye) and her stunning peach coat. While some might call Clementine "high-maintenance", we thinks she just expects to be treated like the Queen she is: -Look but don't touch (much): She will tolerate being picked up or held for a short time, but petting her below the halfway point on her back is a no-no. -One and only: Clementine will do best as an only cat. If other "peasants" are around, her litter box manners deteriorate. And that's unbecoming a Queen like her. -Epicure extraordinaire: Only the highest quality canned stuff for this lady. -Primp and proper: Clementine's luscious locks require regular grooming. If you follow her rules, this lady will bestow endless love upon you, in between her endless naps. Medically, Clementine has hyperthyroidism and requires a monthly shot for arthritis. Though this darling feline-of-a-certain-age requires a particular home for her particular needs, we wouldn't call her anything less than "perfect". Do you have a heart big enough for sweet Clementine to live out the best days of her life?
If you'd like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website - http://www.animalalliesrescue.org/adoption-application - and choose me, Clementine! My adoption fee is $50 and AARF wants me to tell you that their adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare kitties like me for our forever homes. By the time you meet us, we've already been spayed/neutered (if age appropriate) and microchipped. We've been checked by a veterinarian, and we're up to date on age appropriate immunizations against rabies and FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus & panleukopenia). Some of us have had extensive surgeries, dental work, or other necessary procedures. AARF is committed to getting all of us entirely ready for a happy, healthy, love-filled life!

Thank you for your interest in adopting a pet from Animal Allies Rescue Foundation (AARF). At the heart of our work is ensuring that each AARFie is matched with a family that is going to be their forever family. The application process is the first step in helping us understand you, your home, and factors that may help us determine if this pet is a great match for you — or, help you find a fit that will be. Please complete all the information in our species specific adoption applications; missing information may delay the adoption screening process.
Please note:
AARF only adopts pets to people in the Baltimore/DC metro region. In certain circumstances, we will consider homes in closer areas Pennsylvania, Delaware and Northern Virginia. This is due to the required home visit and long term ability to support the adoption. If you live outside of an hour radius of Baltimore, it is unlikely that your application will be approved.
Completion of the application form does not guarantee AARF will place one of our pets in your care. Many of our animals receive multiple applications, and we evaluate each applicant on fit for the specific animal (not first come first serve).
Completion of the application authorizes AARF to verify any information contained herein, including verification of medical records of any present or prior pets treated by the veterinarians listed.
AARF utilizes Truthfinder, a leading provider of public data about people and their connections to others, to verify certain information provided on foster and adoption applications. Truthfinder does not provide consumer reports and is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
Completion of the adoption application is an indication that the information contained within this application is accurate and not misleading in any way.
All adoptions are at the sole discretion of AARF.
We also remind you that animals are not a short-term commitment, and as such, please give careful consideration to adopting an animal. Make sure your lifestyle allows the time, patience and expenses this animal will need over the years.
