My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi. I’m Rowan.
Before we begin, let me just say: I have grown. I have evolved. I have blossomed...but I'm still Rowan.
If you’re looking for an instant lap cat who melts into your arms on day one… that’s not me. But if you love a slow-burn friendship, a little mystery, and a cat who will eventually adore you in the most dramatic way possible, we should talk.
When I first arrived in foster back in July, I was a full-time under-the-bed resident, you could say I was a Certified Under-the-Bed Creature. Humans? Suspicious. Trust? Optional. But thanks to very patient foster parents, I’ve truly blossomed. I am proud to report that I have become... well... kind of amazing. I now enjoy pets, cozying up next to my people, and even becoming a lap cat, still on my terms. I still greet change or sudden movements with the occasional hiss, but honestly, it’s just how I communicate my big feelings.
These days, I keep my fosters laughing constantly. I’m a master of fetch, a relentless attacker of feet under blankets, and a pro at demanding affection the moment I decide I want it. I love springs, ball toys, feather wands, and dragging my prized toys off to my secret hideouts. I’ll still do some hiding now and then, but once I settle in, I’m full of sweetness, silliness, and surprising confidence.
I’m looking for a calm, patient home where I can continue blossoming at my own pace. A respectful kitty roommate is fine; I only hiss at humans, rarely at other cats.
If you're willing to let me blossom at my pace, laugh at my antics, and provide a lap when the vibes are right, we might just be perfect for each other.
Headbutts & Occasional Hisses,
Rowan, a cat of mystery

Additional adoption info
See our process and policies on our website.
https://carenorthshore.org/adoption-information/
Our fees include a full medical exam by a veterinarian. This includes a Feline Leukemia and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) test for cats, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, deworming and Spay/Neuter. Dogs receive a Heartworm Check, Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, Canine Flu Vaccine, deworming, and Kennel Cough preventative. Our modest adoption fees do not cover the procedures and vet work that we provide the animals. We fundraise to make up the difference. Any ongoing medical needs that C.A.R.E. is aware of are explained fully, (including daily medicine costs), to the potential adopter, and become the responsibility of the adopter.
