Story
Cleopatra is our new 7 yr old exotic kitty to be ready for her furrever home. She is truly amazing but has come from a sad background. Cleo was surrendered to us after her owner went into hospice. When we found her, she was hiding in an oven drawer, terrified, and matted to such an extent it was heartbreaking to say the least. She had been neglected for what can guess is at least a year, with matted fur that was impossible to remove except at a vet with many many extra hands and professionals. Her skin below the mattes was severely damaged and incredibly painful for her and it tooks several months for us to finally see relief in sight. Cleo is unbelievably sweet and gentle despite her ordeal. Now, much healthier again, she is finally ready for a new home. She has had all medical done and cleared and just needs a quiet home - no loud kids or pets please. We were told she did at one point have another cat buddy, so that would prob work out, but dogs aren't a good idea. She takes transition hard, so new family would need to have patience and MUST have Persian experience to understand grooming and future care. This is important as her former owner did not care for her properly and we cannot have this happen again as she is far too sweet. So please make sure to HIGHLY research Persians before applying.

 ADOPTERS UNDER THE AGE OF 23 MUST HAVE A PARENT OR GUARDIAN APPLY We do NOT test for hypoallergenic qualities or exact breeds as we are a rescue so also please do not ask! If you are allergic, then prepare for 20 yrs of an allergy if the cat you adopt causes issues.. .

If you want to apply - please go to https://rnrpets.org/cat-application/ to be approved. If you have additional questions please contact us via email at rocknrescue1@gmail.com. She is fully vetted spayed and vaccinated tested FIV FELV neg had preventatives and microchipped. And ready for love! She is also available to adopters from out of state in the Northeast and is located here in Bedford Hills NY! Long distance adopters must pick up here sorry no shipping or delivering!

Story
 ALL our cats and dogs are in the NY area but can be adopted out of state to the purrfect furever home.  In some cases, we can help transport.  Zani's al fresco Summer Adoptions  follow us on FB to find us this summer as we will try new locations to meet the needs of NYC and support the little stores:)     Purrfect Pair: Shadow and Flower are arriving Feb 26 from Saudi Arabia!Flower (aka Warda in Arabic meaning flower) is a 1y female Purrsian mix, very good with other cats but she must go home with Shadow--shadow and flower are boyfriend girlfriend They are in looooove so if anyone wanted a pair they are set for it. They really love each other. He protects her and she feels safe with him. Both are cuddly and playful but shadow is more confident. . She is very friendly, cuddly and playful.  Herstory: abandoned as a skinny kitten with severe dehydration. I named her Warda/flower, because she carries the same quiet beauty and softness of a flower. She’s gentle, calm and effortlessly brings a sense of peace wherever she goes. Just like a flower brightens a space without asking for attention, Flower's presence is tender, comforting, and full of warmth.Shadow is a 3.5y Maine Coon mix who is literally a shadow cat (meaning he is your shadow:)!History: abandoned, I left him some food, but he followed me to my car--hence the name. I found him an adopter who returned him due to accommodation restrictions but when I picked him up, I discovered he was not cared for as agreed. He was kept in a small room with small litter tray. She told me he didn’t like to play and his hair was very matted. I took him to the second adopter who promised to care for him only to return him after few days because her cat hissed once at him so I took him back. He is like a big kitten. Gentle, cuddly and playful! He is very bonded to Flower and must be adopted with her. All kittens are adoptable in pairs only unless another age appropriate cat is in residence.  Most of our adult cats also like cat company (most fosters are multicat homes).  Please read the following article on cat food to see why no dry: www.catinfo.org Facebook:Zani's Furry Friends ZFF (weekly adoption event info posted there) Twitter: zanisff  Instagram: zanisfurryfriends   All cats are in the NY area.  Cats are spayed/neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, Rabies vaxed, and microchipped.  All are in the NY/NJ area but we will adopt out of state to the purrfect home and in some cases, we can arrange transport.  Please go to our site      https://zanisfurryfriends.org fill out an application and return to   cats@zanisfurryfriends.org   Please note: kittens must be adopted in pairs or to households with age appropriate cat(s) to ensure proper socialization and companionship.

After treatment he spent days sleeping in bed which was heartbreaking because we felt he waited to be safe again for too long. He is a super gentle and kind soul. He is great with other cats and children.

Story
Meet Chocolate — a sweet, serene beauty looking for her perfect forever home. Chocolate is a stunning 1.5-year-old female Persian with a gentle soul to match her gorgeous looks. She’s the kind of cat who brings a sense of calm wherever she goes—quiet, graceful, and content simply being near her person. Unlike more playful or high-energy cats, Chocolate truly shines in a peaceful environment. She would prefer to be the only cat in the home, where she can relax, feel secure, and soak up all the love and attention she deserves. She’s not demanding—just quietly affectionate and happiest in a calm, predictable space. Chocolate is perfect for someone looking for a low-key companion—whether you're reading a book, working from home, or unwinding after a long day, she’ll be right there with you, adding warmth and tranquility to your life. If you're ready to open your heart to a gentle, loving companion who asks for little but gives so much in return, Chocolate may be your perfect match. Apply to adopt Chocolate today and bring home your own little piece of sweetness. #AdoptDontShop #PersianCat #RescueCat #CatAdoption #ForeverHome #CalmCompanion #SoloCat #CatLovers All of our cats for adoption are sterilized, fully vaccinated, treated for fleas/worms, are negative for FIV/FELV, have a registered microchip, and come with their travel crate.  Adoptions are on a cost-recovery basis and are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
