Story
Ash is the most cuddly and friendly cat I have ever met. He will be 2 years old in June. He would curl up to a complete stranger for pets and treats. I am unfortunately moving overseas and cannot take him with me :( Ash shows nothing but love to everyone and deserves the same. He loves to cuddle, take naps, and chat when he is excited. He is super easy and hassle free!

Story
Finnegan, Finn for short is a wonderful cat, that has been through a lot. Finn has Stomatitis, a disease that causes his gums to react to the tartar on his teeth and become very sore and inflamed. To eliminate this, he has had all but his two teeth removed. He is in otherwise great health, super affectionate and eats like all the other fosters in the house, without a problem. He loves to lay on his back across his foster parent's chest and receive belly rubs. His foster family decided to adopt his brother Mickey, Finn would be suited best in a home where he had loads of love and attention and no other animals._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Finn is $ 200.00WANT TO MEET FinnThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Finn and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.

Story
Hello, my name is Mary Jane but you can call me MJ. My foster mom says I'm a stunning girl with striking green eyes and unique markings. I say I'm just an average girl looking for her forever home. I was found living outside with a bunch of feral cats, however, the humans noticed I am too friendly to be feral. It's taking me a while to get used to all the smells, sights and sounds of my foster home. I get a little jumpy sometimes, but that is to be expected. Like a lot of cats, I'm not a fan of being picked up or handled. Now, belly rubs and pets, I'll accept those all day and night! I'm also starting to play. My foster home has other cats looking for their forever families. I'm fine with them. I am getting more confidence every day. If you adopt me and give me time to adjust, I promise to be a wonderful family member. Love, Mary Jane.I would also love it if I could be adopted with my BFF Norman._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Mary Jane is $ 200.00WANT TO MEET Mary JaneThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Mary Jane and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.

Story
Parker is a fun-loving, young black cat who enjoys playing with the other kitties in her foster home. She is a sweetie and a beauty, yet no one has expressed interest in adopting Parker. Did you know black cats (and dogs) are harder to adopt out? They shouldn't be because they are awesome! Please give Parker a chance. She has been in foster care since she was a young kitten._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Parker is $ 200.00WANT TO MEET ParkerThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Parker and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.

Story
Bill is the best cat you have never met! This big boy is 16 pounds of pure love and affection. He settled into his foster home immediately and was sitting on his foster mom's lap in less than two hours. A few days later he was laying on her chest. He is the best snuggler and has a sweet purr. When you come home from work, Bill will ask you about your day and listen when you tell him about road construction, your grumpy manager or a deadline that you can't possibly make without his help. He is very empathetic. Bill is pretty laid-back. He likes to explore his foster home but he hasn't played much. Bill has been moved around and his last home was far from ideal. We want to make sure his next home is his forever home._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Bill is $ 200.00WANT TO MEET BillThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Bill and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.
