Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Me Stripe aka Bobby socks is quite the personality. He loves weaving around my legs, watching me brush my teeth and snuggling in bed with me. I think he believes humans are not worthy of stroking his silky black fur, he prefers to be in charge of giving the affection. He was born on the 5th of July with 6 other siblings in rescue. Only he and Stripe and Indepenance are still searching for their purever family. He is fully vetted and microchipped. To inquire more about him please email us at stfureverfreedomar@gmail.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 9, 2026, 1:35 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.I once was loved but coming from a rental home neighborhood like others, I was left behind. Barely a kitten myself I found myself a new mom to 2 rambunctious boys. We didn’t have a home but nice people fed us. My boys liked to play in the busy road. This was noticed by ST Furever freedom and so we were rescued….yes me included. I love love being inside a warm safe foster home. I love snuggling in my foster mom’s bed. I get to play like the young girl that I am with the many toys here. I won’t be having anymore babies and I’ve had all my vaccines. I would love my very own furever home.
