Betty

My story

Breed: Domestic Short Hair Age: 10 months old Gender: Female Litter Box Trained: Yes Declawed: No Adoption Fee: $125 Am I good with: Cats: Yes Dogs: Yes Children: 12+ About me: Hi there, I’m Black Betty, bam-a-lam! With my sleek black coat and quiet presence, I might seem mysterious at first, but there’s a tender heart behind these golden eyes. I became a mom way too young, and while I cared for my babies the best I could, I’m finally getting the chance to just be me. I’m a very shy girl who needs time, space, and patience to feel safe. Loud noises and fast movements can be overwhelming, but if you move slowly and speak softly, I’ll start to trust you. Once I feel comfortable, I really enjoy gentle head scratches, soft blankets, and long naps in cozy corners. I do have a little sass in my soul, if I’m overstimulated, I might let you know, but I’m not looking for chaos, just calm. I’d thrive in a quiet, understanding home where I can bloom on my own terms. If you’re someone who sees the beauty in the quiet ones, I might just be the perfect match you didn’t know you were waiting for. I've been at the ARP since 4/4/25 and am currently at the rescue. 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 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 kittens stay with us is 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.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Betty, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
