My story

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

At just two weeks old, tiny Altaria arrived from BARCS weighing half of what she should have, with both eyes severely infected. The odds were stacked against her, but sometimes the tiniest kittens have the mightiest spirits - and this little warrior had spirit in spades. AARF knew that Altaria deserved a chance, and that in order to have that chance, she would need special ongoing care in the hands of an expert foster with the experience, patience, and love to care for this special girl. A truly amazing foster was up to the task, and quickly opened her home to Altaria. Through round-the-clock bottle feeding and dedicated medical care, Altaria grew stronger each day, defying those early odds with every gram gained. When she was finally strong enough for surgery to remove her infected eyes, it wasn`t an ending - it was just the beginning of showing the world what she could do. And oh, what she can do! This clever girl has mapped out her world using her incredible hearing and a nose so keen she can detect a Churu treat packet from five feet away (a skill we`re pretty sure qualifies her for superhero status). Watching her confidently climb beds, leap with precision, and navigate play sessions with other cats, you`d never guess she faces any challenges at all. But it`s Altaria`s heart that truly makes her extraordinary. This gentle soul, with her tiny squeaks and enormous capacity for love, has a special passion for fuzzy blankets - where she`ll happily bury her face while making biscuits and purring up a storm. Looking for inspiration wrapped in fur? This brave, smart, and endlessly loving girl is ready to show her forever family just how magical life can be.
If you`d like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website - https://animalalliesrescue.org/adopt/- and choose me. Altaria! My adoption fee is $150 and AARF wants me to tell you that their adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare kitties like me for our forever homes. By the time you meet us, we`ve already been spayed/neutered (if age appropriate) and microchipped. We`ve been checked by a veterinarian, and we`re up to date on age appropriate immunizations against rabies and FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus & panleukopenia). Some of us have had extensive surgeries, dental work, or other necessary procedures. AARF is committed to getting all of us entirely ready for a happy, healthy, love-filled life!

Additional adoption info

Thank you for your interest in adopting a pet from Animal Allies Rescue Foundation (AARF). At the heart of our work is ensuring that each AARFie is matched with a family that is going to be their forever family. The application process is the first step in helping us understand you, your home, and factors that may help us determine if this pet is a great match for you — or, help you find a fit that will be. Please complete all the information in our species specific adoption applications; missing information may delay the adoption screening process.

Please note:

AARF only adopts pets to people in the Baltimore/DC metro region. In certain circumstances, we will consider homes in closer areas Pennsylvania, Delaware and Northern Virginia. This is due to the required home visit and long term ability to support the adoption. If you live outside of an hour radius of Baltimore, it is unlikely that your application will be approved.

Completion of the application form does not guarantee AARF will place one of our pets in your care. Many of our animals receive multiple applications, and we evaluate each applicant on fit for the specific animal (not first come first serve).

Completion of the application authorizes AARF to verify any information contained herein, including verification of medical records of any present or prior pets treated by the veterinarians listed.

AARF utilizes Truthfinder, a leading provider of public data about people and their connections to others, to verify certain information provided on foster and adoption applications. Truthfinder does not provide consumer reports and is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

Completion of the adoption application is an indication that the information contained within this application is accurate and not misleading in any way.

All adoptions are at the sole discretion of AARF.

We also remind you that animals are not a short-term commitment, and as such, please give careful consideration to adopting an animal. Make sure your lifestyle allows the time, patience and expenses this animal will need over the years.
