Breed: Domestic Short Hair Age: 1 year Gender: Female Litter Box Trained: Yes Declawed: No Adoption Fee: $125 + $50 refundable deposit Am I good with: Cats: Yes Dogs: Yes, with a slow/correct introduction Children: 16+ About me: Sadie is a gentle soul who is still learning that the world can be a safe and kind place. Very shy by nature, she will need a patient adopter who understands that trust with cats like her is earned slowly and lovingly, not rushed. In her foster home, it took many weeks for Sadie to begin feeling more comfortable, but with steady care and a calm environment, she made meaningful progress, showing that she truly can blossom when given the chance. She is looking for a family willing to continue that same thoughtful approach and celebrate the small victories along the way. For the right person, helping Sadie come out of her shell will be an incredibly rewarding journey. This cat has been at ARP since: 12/4/25 – ​The Animal Rescue Project is committed to the best possible veterinary care for the pets it rescues and it is looking for adopters who will be similarly committed. Adoptions are NOT first come, first served! We seek to choose the best fit for the approved adopter and pet. Please understand that these animals are still new to us and their needs and requirements can change at any time as we learn more about them. We will try our best to get them updated online as soon as possible. All cats and kittens are given a general check-up when they enter our program. They receive medical treatment to remove any intestinal parasites (worms), fleas, and mites they may have. All cats and kittens are feline leukemia tested, and cats at least a year old are also tested for feline immuno virus. Each cat or kitten receives the FVRCP vaccine; if a kitten stays with us long enough, two or three boosters will be given after the initial vaccination. Most cats and older kittens are spayed or neutered before adoption. In the case of kittens not old enough to be safely sterilized, a $50 deposit is required at the time of adoption and is refunded to the adopter with proof of sterilization. The Animal Rescue Project requires every adopter to establish an active relationship with a veterinarian no later than 10 days after adoption. Adopters will receive a plan for routine veterinary care at the time of adoption and are expected to work with their vet to complete the plan.
