My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Rumi's journey hasn't been easy. Abandoned and left to survive on the streets, he endured hardships that no cat should ever face. When Rumi came into our care, he was covered in wounds and dangerously underweight. Despite these challenges, Rumi's spirit remained unbroken.

This incredible cat embodies love, affection, and trust. Rumi adores humans and melts during petting sessions, kisses, and cuddles. He only sees the good in the world and greets each day with a heart full of kindness. Rumi will loyally lay by your feet while you work and seek comfort by resting on top of you, sharing his warmth and love.

Rumi gets along with people of all ages and sizes, and he does well with other cats too. He enjoys an energetic play session and delights in watching birds from the window. With a personality that scores a perfect 10 out of 10, Rumi is the perfect companion for anyone looking to add a loving, resilient, and affectionate cat to their family. Rumi would be fine in a household as the only pet or in a household with another feline.

Are you ready to give Rumi the forever home he truly deserves? This remarkable boy is waiting to fill your life with love and joy. If you are interested in adopting or meeting Rumi, please fill out an adoption application to schedule your meet & greet.

**WTRF does not do single kitten adoptions, unless you have a kitten of similar age already in the home. We also do NOT break up bonded pairs.

Additional adoption info

Our goal is to find the purrfect forever homes for our cats & kittens, so we match them with their potential families based on personalities, lifestyle, etc.

Adoption process:

Complete an Adoption Application.
Once you submit an application, a volunteer will review your application, check your references, and contact you to conduct a phone interview with you about the animal and answer any questions that you may have.
If approved, we will then set up a meet and greet with the entire family during open adoption hours to spend time with the cat you’re interested in. (all persons living full-time in the household must be present during the adoption process).
If it's a match, we will then set up a date and time for you to take your furrever family member home.
