Adopt a Tortoiseshell (short coat)

Name: Cali
DoB: 10/10/13
Adoption Fee: $65

I am a soft and gorgeous 3 year old tortie.  I was homeless when my foster family rescued me from the cold.  I am a PURRfect lap cat.  I will talk and purr while snuggling in your lap.  I am very amusing when I play.  My favorite toy is a laser light.  I would make a fun loving addition to your home if you let me show you how much I can love you.  I am dog friendly but prefer to be the only cat.  I also prefer a home with older children

IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
A  volunteer will review your application and contact you ONLY if you are  approved or if further clarification is required.  We will make every  attempt to contact approved applicants within 5 business days of  application submission (M-F), but this will depend on the number of applications received.  
Please  understand that by answering the questions does not guarantee the  adoption of the pet, nor are you obligated to adopt the pet.
FTCR  adopts to homes that are best fits for our animals' needs, and not on a  first-come, first-served basis.  If you currently own a pet or have a  history of pet ownership, you must provide a vet reference for your application to be processed.  Preference is given to applications with prior pet experience and vet references.  
We are an all-volunteer organization, and regret that we do not have the resources to contact applicants that are not approved.  Please do not contact us to check on the status of your application - it just slows down our ability to process applications.  Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
-  We ask for your patience as we review your application.FTCR  receives several each day and cannot respond to every one individually.
-  Approved applicants are based on best fit, not first submitted.  FTCR  RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY APPLICANT, so please  understand that it is within our discretion to make those decisions on  behalf of our animals.
Keep in mind that  we depend 100% on volunteers, most of whom have full-time jobs, so we  ask for your understanding as we do the best we can in the endless  effort to find homes for these deserving animals!
WE DO NOT HAVE A SHELTER,  ALL OF OUR ANIMALS ARE IN ONE OF OUR VOLUNTEERS HOME.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE ANIMAL!
