Get to know Vito, a 13 pound hunk of a guy with street smarts and domestic dreams. Before being rescued, we suspect this full-sized foodie was running an underground tuna operation. With chunky cheeks that like to be pinched, Vito is proof that tough guys secretly want love too!
Rescued from animal control to live the life he was destined for, this FIV+ fellow came in with a few medical needs. Fully recovered now from a mild URI, an eye infection and dental work (he has 4 teeth left), this big boy is thriving like a boss! Ready to trade the streets of Baltimore for a cushier lifestyle, Vito loves attention, being brushed, a full belly, and a comfy, warm bed. Vito will do best in a home without dogs or small children, and is okay with cats as long as they give him some space.
If you’re interested in me, you should know about (FIV). Feline Immunodeficiency Virus is transmitted through deep bite wounds. This means I can safely interact with other cats as long as they get along well and are not fighting. It’s important to have a good relationship with your vet, since I have a harder time fighting infections than non-FIV cats. However, cats like me can live normal, full-length lives. For more information on FIV see: https://fivcats.com/ and https://www.kittenlady.org/fiv
My adoption fee is $100.00 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 and 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.
