Story
This cat is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $100 if picked up in TN.* Visit http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/cat-adoption-application/ to apply. Tina is an adorable 10-month-old domestic short hair with classic black-and-white tuxedo markings, complete with a sleek black coat, bright white chest, and the cutest little boots and mittens. This friendly, outgoing girl has an average energy level and absolutely loves being part of the action—whether that’s chasing feather wands, batting around bell balls, or curling up in a soft bed after playtime. Tina is incredibly affectionate and will happily come over to greet you, asking for head pats and soaking up all the love she can get. She does great with other cats and children, and with a slow introduction, she could also adjust to a home with dogs. Tina would thrive in an active, engaging home where she gets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. If you’re looking for a sweet, social kitty with both playful charm and cuddle potential, Tina is ready to steal your heart!  Interested in adopting?

This handsome domestic short hair sports a classic tabby and white bicolor coat that perfectly matches his lively personality. He’s the kind of cat who doesn’t just live in your home—he becomes part of your daily conversations, happily “chatting” with you and always ready to be involved in whatever you’re doing. Cormac is a total entertainer. He loves chasing bell balls and batting at feather wands, and he’ll keep you smiling with his enthusiastic play sessions. When he’s ready to recharge, you’ll often find him perched proudly atop his scratch post tower, surveying his kingdom or curling up for a cozy nap. One of Cormac’s most endearing traits is how quickly he bonds with people. He’s incredibly friendly, confident, and adjusts easily to new environments, making him a great fit for a variety of homes. He’s wonderful with dogs, gets along well with other cats, and does great with cat-savvy kids—truly a well-rounded companion. Cormac would thrive in an active home where he can get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. He’d especially love a household with canine companions or other playful pets to keep him company. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, talkative, and affectionate feline who will keep life exciting and full of love, Cormac might just be your perfect match.  Interested in adopting?

Story
This kitten is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $100 if picked up in TN.* Visit http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/cat-adoption-application/ to apply. Victoria is a 6-month-old calico tabby mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This adorable girl is as affectionate as they come—she absolutely lives for pets, cuddles, and cozy lap time. If you’re looking for a kitten who will happily keep you company and shower you with love, Victoria is your perfect match. One of Victoria’s most charming traits is how chatty she is! She loves to “talk” to her people, whether she’s greeting you at the door, asking for attention, or just sharing her thoughts about the day. Her sweet little voice will quickly become one of your favorite sounds. When it comes to playtime, Victoria proves you don’t need fancy toys to have fun—her all-time favorite is a simple balled-up piece of paper! She’ll bat it around, chase it, and proudly show off her playful side before settling in for snuggles. And don’t forget mealtime—this girl is a big fan of her crunchy kibble and will remind you when it’s time to eat. Victoria adores people and thrives on attention, making her a wonderful companion for a home where she’ll get plenty of love. She hasn’t met other cats or dogs yet, so any introductions should be done slowly and thoughtfully to help her feel safe and confident. If you’re ready for a loving, talkative, lap-loving kitten who will bring warmth, joy, and a little bit of sass into your life, Victoria is waiting to meet you See this cat by appointment at PETCO, 377 W. Jackson St #11 Cookeville, TN 38501.   Interested in adopting?

Story
This cat is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $100 if picked up in TN.* Visit http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/cat-adoption-application/ to apply. Moira is a beautiful 5-year-old domestic short hair with striking snowshoe coloring and a calm, gentle spirit to match. With her moderate-to-low energy level, she’s the perfect companion for a peaceful home where she can spend her days napping in cozy spots and watching birds from the window. Moira is incredibly sweet and affectionate—if it’s been a little too long since her last round of attention, she’ll softly nudge her head into your hand, asking for ear scratches and chin rubs. She gets along well with other cats and would do just fine with cat-savvy older dogs or respectful older children, but she thrives in a quiet, low-key environment with minimal noise or commotion. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion who will bring a soothing presence and a touch of elegance to your home, Moira might be your perfect match!

Story
This cat is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $75 if picked up in TN.* Visit http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/cat-adoption-application/ to apply. Say hello to Patrick! Brought into AARF on St. Patrick's Day, Patrick is a very sweet 4 year old Domestic Long Hair with the cutest little bobtail! His gray coat, shimmers a blonde color in the light and his bright green eyes draw you in for belly rubs. Patrick loves snuggles, head butts, and belly rubs. He doesn't mind being held and will meow at you to pay attention to him. He absolutely loves people. Patrick hasn't been tested with other cats or dogs, but this foster mom says with his laid-back demeanor, it shouldn't be a problem. Patrick would love nothing more than a snuggle buddy to chill on the couch with, or a big window to stare out of. If you need a little bit of luck of the Irish, then Saint Patrick is the boy for you! * $150 plus transport fee (varies) for adoptions to the Northeast.  Interested in adopting?

Story
Obito was found hiding in a friend's shed when he was about 2 months old. I quickly fell in love with him and brought him home. He has lived with me the past 4 years and he means the world to me. He has been the perfect companion. He loves affection and cuddling and jumping and running after his toys. He can be timid when meeting new people, but he's quick to warm up. It breaks my heart to separate from him, but unfortunately I am moving and he can't come with me. I am hopeful for a loving home for my little guy - someone who will care for him, give him affection, attention, and many comfy sleeping spots. He's had no behavior issues with me. He’s a little guy, about 7-8 pounds.
