Story
Look at handsome Tiernan! Tiernan is a handsome orange and white DMH (domestic medium hair) Ragdoll mix with a heart as soft as his fluffy coat. His absolute favorite things in life are pets, cuddles, and love — and he’s always happy to soak up as much attention as you’re willing to give. This sweet boy is also a big fan of crunchy treats and spending time bird-watching from a sunny window. Give him a comfy spot and some head scratches, and he’s in heaven. Tiernan would likely do best as an only kitty, where he can soak up all the affection for himself. He could also do well with kids and dogs with a proper introduction. His needs are simple — he just wants a cozy home, gentle pets, and someone to love him as much as he’ll love them back.  This cat is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $75 if picked up in TN.* Visit http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/cat-adoption-application/ to apply.   * $150 plus transport fee (varies) for adoptions to the Northeast.  Interested in adopting? Take the first step and complete an adoption application on our website: http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/adoption-apps/ If you have questions that are not covered in the profile, visit the Pet Inquiry Form: http://aarf-tn.com/contact/pet-inquiry-form/. THIS PET IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE! We do list and adopt our pets nationwide. Typical transport cost to the Northeast is $180. Due to interstate adoption regulations, we are not able to adopt to RI and MA state residents. A.A.R.F. (All About Rescue and Fixin' Inc.) http://aarf-tn.com/ is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) no kill animal rescue organization located in the Upper Cumberland area of Tennessee. A.A.R.F. is comprised of unpaid volunteers and survives only on public donations. Thank you for thinking adoption first! Prior to adoption, all canines and felines are spayed or neutered, have received their age appropriate vaccinations, have been de-wormed for common parasites, and have received treatment for prevention of fleas and ticks. All canines over the age of 6 months have been tested for heartworm. All canines are put on heartworm prevention as soon as possible - this means dogs as soon as they are tested negative. Puppies are put on prevention immediately. All felines, regardless of age, have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV. Each animal receives a health check by a licensed veterinarian prior to adoption. Anything else found will be treated by our organization prior to adoption. March 13, 2026, 8:40 pm

Story
Hopper is the sweetest little angel baby who just wants to find his perfect person. He adores other cats and would love a feline friend, but hed also be perfectly happy soaking up love on his own. Hes a bit mischievous in the cutest way and definitely operates on one brain cell but that just makes him even more lovable! Hopper loves to cuddle, play, and be involved in whatever his humans are doing. With his gentle, playful nature, hed be an amazing fit for a family, especially one with kids!
