Notes from Azrael's Place NFP

They say I'm a little work of art with my striking black and white fur. My caretakers tell me I look like I've been dusted with ashes from a cozy fire – that's how I got my name!

I'll be honest with you – I'm a bit shy at first. When new friends come to visit, you might find me watching carefully from my favorite hiding spot. But don't let that fool you! Once I decide you're trustworthy (and especially if you have treats), my true personality shines through.

Speaking of treats... did someone say FOOD? My ears perk up instantly at the sound of a can opening or kibble hitting my bowl. My foster mom says I have the most enthusiastic "dinner dance" she's ever seen!

When I'm not dreaming about my next meal, you'll find me scaling new heights. Curtains, bookshelves, cat trees – they're all part of my personal mountain range. I'm still perfecting my dismount, but my climbing skills are already Olympic-worthy!

What I'm really looking for is a patient family who understands that the best relationships take time to build. Someone who'll give me space when I need it, but who'll also dangle that feather toy when I'm ready to play. I promise that once I open my heart to you, the purrs and head-bumps will be worth the wait.

Could your home be the forever one I've been searching for? I already have two cat friends named Copper and Blaze waiting for me – they told me your home is filled with love and adventure. I hope I get to join them soon!

As listed by Azrael's Place NFP. Please confirm anything important with them before you adopt.

Can't adopt right now? Azrael's Place NFP is looking for a foster home for Cinder. Fostering is short-term, and the rescue usually covers food and vet care. Ask them about it.

What happens next

  1. Contact Azrael's Place NFP using the button. AdoptNearby does not take applications.
  2. They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
  3. Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to Azrael's Place NFP, never to AdoptNearby.
  4. Read the cats care guide so you arrive prepared.
