**Meet Terra: The Tender-Hearted Tortie Searching for Her Forever Home **
Hi, I'm Terra, a 3.5-year-old tortie who's been through a tough journey, but I haven't given up hope! Almost six months ago, my sister Katniss and I were left at a vet's office for boarding while our family went on vacation... but they never came back. Despite countless attempts to contact them, the vet found disconnected numbers, an empty address, and no trace of our family. We were declared abandoned and officially became part of the vet's family - but this isn't the forever home I'm dreaming of.
I've been living in a small cage at the vet's office ever since, and it's been really hard. I miss the feeling of a cozy bed and a warm lap to curl up in. The constant noise and confined space are starting to make me feel a little blue. I'm spayed, vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, and all ready for a fresh start!
I'm incredibly sweet, loving, and social, with a purr that never stops! I get along great with other cats, dogs, and kids - basically, anyone who's up for a cuddle session or a quiet afternoon together. I'd love to be adopted with my sister Katniss, but I'm also open to finding my own special home where I can feel safe, secure, and loved again.
Could you be the one to give me the love and attention I've been waiting for? Head over to www.yourlocalfurmama.com/adopt or click the link in our bio to fill out an adoption application. And if you can't adopt, please share my story to help me find my forever family.
I'm ready for a fresh start and a forever home where I can finally feel at peace. Could that be with you?

Additional adoption info
We have an extensive adoption process as it is important to us that we not only find the perfect furever home for one of our babies, but that we find the perfect addition to your family.
Everyone is required to fill out our adoption application in it’s entirety. At the end of the adoption application, each applicant must provide three, non family references, contact information for every adult over the age of 18 living in the home, vet information, and landlord contact information (if applicable). Our team then calls and speaks to every one of the above listed. If all checks out, we will then schedule an interview with the applicant over the phone. The last step is to submit a home video tour which includes a walk through of the entirety of the applicant’s home and yard (if adopting a puppy/dog).
Once all of the above is completed, we can go ahead and schedule a meet and greet with the animal and the applicant.
Please understand that completion of this process is not a guarantee of an adoption. Our team works tirelessly to ensure the very best outcome for both the animal and potential adopter. If a particular animal does not work out but you have an approved application, we will work with you to match you with the perfect fit.
**Priority for kittens is given to those willing to adopt a pair as kittens do much better with a friend. Some kittens are listed as a bonded pair and are not allowed to be adopted separately but will be labeled as such.
All of our adoption fees include up-to-date vet recommended vaccines, proper deworming protocol, spay/neuter, a month’s dose of flea and tick meds as well as heartworm meds (if applicable), a microchip with a lifetime registration, various other vetting expenses as well as an adoption bag full of goodies!
