My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ripley
Domestic Shorthair, Born March 2023, Gray Tabby with White, Spayed Female

Hello there! My name is Ripley and I've got quite a story to tell, believe it or not! I was rescued from living outside in the January cold, undernourished and small for my age. My rescuer took me in and helped me get stronger and then I was placed in my foster home with C.A.R.E. Before I was rescued I had an eye injury that just wouldn't get better. The vets tried many different treatments but it kept bothering me. Eventually the decision was made to remove my eye.

Since losing my eye I have really come out of my shell and my foster mom says I'm such a happy girl who’s full of energy. I enjoy playing with my foster siblings or chasing my favorite toys around. I am officially obsessed with the laser pointer and watching the birds eat from the bird feeder outside my foster home.

I may be slower to warm up to you but let's face it, I've been through a lot in my short life so you can’t really blame me. I promise, once I am comfortable with you, you will have a companion for life. I love spending the day with my foster mom in her office either on her desk or looking out the window. And I truly enjoy evening snuggles before finding a comfy chair to spend the night sleeping on.

What do you say, will you give a one eyed kitten like me a chance?

Additional adoption info

See our process and policies on our website.
https://carenorthshore.org/adoption-information/

Our fees include a full medical exam by a veterinarian. This includes a Feline Leukemia and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) test for cats, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, deworming and Spay/Neuter. Dogs receive a Heartworm Check, Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, Canine Flu Vaccine, deworming, and Kennel Cough preventative. Our modest adoption fees do not cover the procedures and vet work that we provide the animals. We fundraise to make up the difference. Any ongoing medical needs that C.A.R.E. is aware of are explained fully, (including daily medicine costs), to the potential adopter, and become the responsibility of the adopter.
