The Very LAST Cat Looking For A Home
We are nearly history in the making. We began AEAR in 2003 and NEVER had less than five cats in our care. Today, almost two decades later, we have just ONE cat...Audrey.
Let’s make history and celebrate by finding her the most amazing, fabulous, loving home ever. What do you say?
Audrey is a young, adorable, easy, social cat that would prefer to be an only animal in the home. She’s great with all people. She’s good about her litter box, likes to look out windows and sit in laps. She’s a good kitty.
Please share this far and wide and let’s all celebrate together when we find this sweet cat a perfect family.
To apply go to www.aear.org. #catrescue #blackandwhitecat #blackandwhitecatsofinstagram #blackandwhitecats #catlover #catlovers #catloversclub

“Hi everyone, it's me Audrey here.
I'm still looking for my forever home. I'm a little sad today because I thought I was getting adopted tomorrow but it ended up not working out. I've been told that I'm the only AEAR cat who hasn't been adopted 😢. There has to be someone out there who would like me. I promise that I'm real easy to live with. I'll sit on your lap when I get comfortable and we can watch TV together. I also like to just do my own thing too, so I won't bother you non-stop. If you can put a chair in front of a window or glass door for me to sit on, I'm happy.
The only thing with me is that I'm not real comfortable with other animals so I would prefer to be your only pet. I can't help it, I lived on the streets for awhile and I had bad experiences.
My foster parents do the best that they can for me but I'm honestly tired of living in the dining room. I hope someone out there has room for me in their house or apartment. I'll be here waiting to meet you.
Love,
Audrey❤️” To apply for Audrey go onto our web site at www.aear.org. Please share far and wide!!!
