Story
Meet Dusky! A timid kitten that is looking for a patient adopter that will allow him the time to settle in and flourish. He is a bit shy in the shelter environment, but he has been getting better every day. He loves to play with wand toys, and some treats will lure him out pretty quickly, it is a good way to bond with him! He does get along well with other cats and would likely benefit from living with a confident kitty to show him the ropes. If you are interested in Dusky, please call us here at (401)846-8276. You are welcome to stop by our Animal Care and Adoption Center here in Middletown, RI to meet with him at any time. Feel free to visit our website, www.potterleague.org, for more information on adopting from us.

Story
Meet Judd! A bit of a shy guy while we have been getting to know him here. He came in to us as a stray cat, so we don't know about his background history. He is the kind of cat that has been quiet and keeping to himself. We are hoping with time and patience that he will blossom into a sweet and gentle boy. If you are interested in Judd, please call us here at (401)846-8276. You are welcome to stop by our Animal Care and Adoption Center here in Middletown, RI to meet with him at any time. Feel free to visit our website, www.potterleague.org, for more information on adopting from us.

Story
Meet Smokey! Though he is a bit of a quiet and timid presence here in the shelter environment, we know that his true personality will blossom once he is safe at home. He takes some patience to warm up to you, and he prefers to go at his own pace. Once he chooses you, he is an affectionate, outgoing, playful boy. Smokey could do well with another cat if given a slow and proper introduction, but from what we know he is pretty aloof around other cats. If you are interested in Smokey, please call us here at (401)846-8276. You are welcome to stop by our Animal Care and Adoption Center here in Middletown, RI to meet with him at any time. Feel free to visit our website, www.potterleague.org, for more information on adopting from us.

Story
Meet Charlie Brown! An adult cat looking for a home to match his incredibly quiet and calm demeanor. Charlie likes to take things slow, we know with time he will be comfortable enough to show his true colors, but right now he is just feeling a bit unconfident. Going home with a confident kitty friend will definitely help him to warm up quicker! If you are interested in Charlie Brown, please call us here at (401)846-8276. You are welcome to stop by our Animal Care and Adoption Center here in Middletown, RI to meet with him at any time.

BONDED PAIR Adoption Donation    $ 350 for the pair      Located: in MS (Transportation costs included to the Northeast, plz ask for more details ) Age:  5  years old   Bonded pair of cats that lost their owner and family members didn't want them. They are both sweet and looking for a forever home together!   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.
