Story
Meet Blue! 🩵 Blue is a charming mix of sweet and grumpy who’s ready to steal your heart. He’s bilingual — he understands both Spanish and English — and he’s as smart as he is handsome. Blue loves lounging on cozy couches, squeezing into boxes, and hanging out with small dogs who respect his space. He enjoys affection, but on his own terms — the best cuddles come when he decides it’s time. If you’re looking for a laid-back companion with personality, Blue is your guy.

Norman is an adorable tabby kitten who has the softest fur with really pretty markings. He enjoys crawling into his foster mom's lap for snuggles. Just don't interrupt him when he is watching his favorite TV show, General Hospital. Norman is shy when meeting new people, but he warms up fast. Give this terrific soap opera loving tabby a chance. He would love to be adopted with hi BBF Mary Jane._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Norman is $ 200.00WANT TO MEET NormanThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Norman and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.
