Hi, I'm Pantera -- a sleek, beautiful black cat with a quiet strength in my heart. I used to have a dad who loved me so deeply. He loved all three of us -- me, my sister Mini Mini, and our brother Pappy. We were his babies. But then... he was taken from us. Deported. And just like that, our safe, warm world shattered. I've been doing my best to stay strong for Pappy. He's so scared here at the shelter, and I try to comfort him as much as I can. But the truth is, I'm scared and heartbroken too. I miss our dad. I miss the love we had. But somewhere deep inside, I'm holding onto hope -- hope that there's still love out there for us. I'm gentle, tender, and quietly brave. I don't ask for much -- just a soft place to rest, a gentle voice, and someone to help me feel safe again. Whether I find that love with my siblings by my side or in a home of my own, I'm ready to start healing. Please consider opening your heart to one (or more) of us. We've been through so much, but we haven't given up on people. We're still waiting for the next great love of our lives. Could it be you? As a special promotion, cats like Pantera that have been waiting 6+ months for a home receive 3 months of Revolution flea, tick, ear mite, and heartworm preventatives- a $79 value!________________________________________________ If you would like to meet one of our adoptables or learn more about them, please submit an application at https://animalrescueneworleans.org/adoptfoster/. **Note: Our shelter is open by scheduled appointment only after your application is approved.
