Story
Meet Mayonnaise! This gal is the whole package: sweet, playful, social, and a total catnip fiend! She loves coming across new friends and making people laugh with her antics. Mayonnaise (or Mayo as we like to call her) did not do well with the previous cats or dogs in her home, but we think she would be great with kids! With any questions about Mayonnaise, or any of our other cats, please email cats@rispca.org!

Story
Meet Poppy! Poppy is a shy, but very sweet girl who just wants a quiet home to chill in! She absolutely loves head rubs once she gets to know you. Poppy did come in with another cat and seemed to do well with her, so we think that she could do well with another calm cat in the home. However, due to her shy demeanor we don't think she would do well with dogs in the home. With any questions about Poppy, or our other cats, please email cats@rispca.org!

  Adoption Donation    $  199 Located: in RI (Transportation costs included to the Northeast, plz ask for more details )    Age:  1 year & 10 months Weight:   lbs      If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website  www.fohari.org  and email my foster parent for more information:    friendsoha@yahoo.com   Please verify the location and readiness of this cat with us.  Because we save lives from various locations throughout the United States, some cats may not be in New England yet, nor ready for immediate adoption.   Our adoption application can be found here: https://fohari.org/application/  Our Adoption Process:   Go to our website and select the animal you are interested in. ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a  shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time. Complete our online application You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent  or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt.  From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit.  If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your  references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer. Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most  have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption. Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your  adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc. Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England. Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent. Our extensive approval process is intended to ensure the best fit between our animals and adopters. Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) reserves the right to deny any adoption application with or without disclosure of cause. Your adoption fee helps to cover the cost of all age appropriate vetting and transportation. FOHARI.ORG makes no explicit or implicit guarantees in reference to the health, temperament and/or the breed of the animal. The animal is adopted ‘as is’, and the adopter assumes all responsibility for treatment of any and all existing conditions or any other conditions of physical or temperament changes that may occur. FOHARI.ORG will provide the animal with the basic vaccines, heart worm test and sterilization of dogs and cats before adoption if the age and current health of the animal permits. While FOHARI.ORG makes every effort to place only healthy animals, FOHARI.ORG cannot guarantee the health of any animal, and shall not be held responsible for any medical expenses that may be incurred. Rescuer will provide information received from the veterinarian exam, observations on the temperament of the animal and a best guess of the breed. Friends of Homeless Animals Inc.

Sassy is a petite charmer with a long, flowing calico coat and a fluffy tail, combining striking beauty with a soft, gentle personality. Though a bit timid at first, she quickly blossoms with patience, a calm voice, and gentle affection, preferring to stay close and enjoy quiet companionship once she feels safe. Treats are the quickest way to her heart, helping her bravely step out of her shell, and with a little time and a lot of love, Sassy becomes a wonderfully sweet, tender companion. ##2636020##
