My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Fernando is a handsome, medium-sized gentleman with a snowy white coat accented by charming brown tabby spots. His bright eyes and curious expression make it clear he’s always keeping tabs on what’s happening around the house. He’s the picture of politeness — tidy with perfect litter box manners, respectful of furniture, and always ready to make himself part of your daily routine. Fernando previously had a minor skin issue, but after a round of treatment, it has completely cleared up and he’s feeling his best.

This sweet boy enjoys being near his people, whether curled up at the foot of the bed or nestled in the bathroom sink (his favorite lounging spot!). He happily accepts pets and attention, and while he’s not a fan of loud noises, he will melt into your arms if he ever feels unsure, clinging to you like a baby. Young at heart, he has just the right amount of playful energy and gets along well with other cats, sharing space calmly without any fuss.

Fernando is looking for a forever home where he can be a cherished companion — a place filled with gentle voices, treats, and sunny spots for lounging. With his kind manners and loyal heart, he’s sure to win over anyone lucky enough to meet him.

If you’d like to take this kitty home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/cat-application. The adoption fee is $150 and covers all expenses needed to prepare kitties like this one for their forever homes. By the time you meet them, they’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. They’ve been checked by a veterinarian and are up to date on age-appropriate immunizations against rabies and FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus & panleukopenia). Some of our cats have even undergone extensive medical care to ensure they’re ready for a happy, healthy life with you!

Additional adoption info

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.

By operating exclusively through a network of foster homes, AARF provides personalized care that supports recovery and reveals each animal’s unique personality and needs, enabling us to effectively match them with well-screened, ideal forever homes.
