Boomer

Hey there! Boomer here, and boy, do I have a tale to tell! Found wandering the streets by Bristol Animal Control and never claimed, I came to reside with the nice volunteers at ARF. I'm a 1-year-old small, sweet, and super friendly black cat, and if there's one thing I'm known for, it's my purr machine! Seriously, I purr so much, the volunteers here joke that I should come with a volume control. I absolutely love sitting on laps. If you're sitting down, you can bet I'll be right there, making myself comfy and soaking up all the pets and cuddles I can get. There's nothing better than a good scratch behind the ears or a gentle rub on my back. I just can't get enough! I've recently been neutered (not the most fun day, but worth it!), and I'm up to date on all my shots. I've been tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and I'm on flea/tick preventative, so I'm all set and ready to find my forever home. I can get along with my feline roommates at ARF just fine but I am extra happy getting all the human affection I can receive. I would do best in a home where someone works from home or has a family to hang out with if I am going to be a solo cat because I just love being around people so much. I am a gentle and smaller cat and will likely do well in a home with children over 6 years of age or ones with experience that know how to respect a kitty's boundaries- not that I have many, I just love pets so much!!! The volunteers at Animal Rescue Foundation say I'm a total lovebug, and I couldn't agree more. I'm just waiting for that special someone or family to come along and scoop me up. Could that be you? If you're looking for a sweet, loving, and purr-fect companion, look no further. Apply to adopt me at ARFCT.org, and let's start our happily ever after together! Some very important things you should know when applying: Our cats/kittens have been fully examined by a vet and are healthy and up to date on all shots/vaccinations unless otherwise noted. Adoption fees for adult cats are $250 ($265 if microchipped by us). Kittens are $275 (microchipped). What our adoption fees include: Adult cats have received a wellness exam, fecal exams to test for intestinal parasites, treated for any known/existing conditions to bring them back to health, SNAP tested for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus), and Heartworm. They have also received flea/tick preventative, have been spayed/neutered and are up to date on both their distemper and rabies vaccinations. For kittens, they have received a wellness exam, fecal exams to test for intestinal parasites, treated for any known/existing conditions to bring them back to health, SNAP tested for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus), and Heartworm. They have also received flea/tick preventative. All cats and kittens have received their distemper vaccination(s) prior to adoption. Young kittens will receive their rabies vaccination at a time appropriate to their age and size (generally it is administered by our vets post-adoption or at the time spay/neuter and microchips are done). The adoption fee for all kittens includes the future administration of their rabies shot, spay/neuter and microchip at the time of spay/neuter by our partner vet(s). Specifically, if you are looking to adopt a kitten(s): We are only accepting applications for kittens adopted IN PAIRS (or, singly, if you already have a young friendly cat or kitten of similar age at home for them to bond with). It's vital for proper cat behavioral development that kittens have a friendly fellow kitten or cat playmate at home they can grow and learn from. For all applicants: Please note that our organizations long-time policy is that we do not adopt out our animals to households with children aged six or younger- we just dont know how our individual animals will react around young children who are still learning what it means to respect an animals boundaries and unfortunately, past experience has proven its a higher risk that a kitten or cat is returned to shelter because of this. We also do not adopt to out-of-state applicants other than towns bordering Connecticut or those not within a one and a half hour driving distance to our shelter. We also do not do same day adoptions- please expect to have at least 2 visits as part of the adoption process at our shelter- its important to us that we are properly matching animals to adopters and preparing our adopters for their special adoption day and all our ducks (or should we say cats?) are in a row. Sorry, no exceptions. Happily, we expect our volunteers to receive many inquiries for our cats and kittens. Unfortunately, if your application is incomplete, we will not be able to consider it. Please double check your application for completeness and accuracy prior to submitting it to us. Please be as thorough as possible when answering application questions as the more you elaborate, the more information we have to consider, the more likely we are to have a full picture of the care, support, and love our cats/kittens will receive for their adopted lifetime and your particular application will be at the top of our mind when placing cats/kittens in their chosen forever homes. Once your application has been reviewed and approved, we are happy to invite you and your family in for a personalized meet and greet appointment with our cats and kittens. You can learn about each cat/kitten and complete an application at ARFCT.org and submit it to our email at [email protected] for consideration. Thank you!
