Scheduled Adoption Events

We are over the moon for Shuri! She was with ARWOB for just over two years and she finally won the jackpot. Her purrfect forever family found her and now she is living a life full of love and happiness. Here is what her adoptive family has shared with us:

"As you can see, we kept her name as it is the epic sidekick sister in Black Panther and also, no other names seemed fitting as we had been referring to her as "Shuri" since the day we saw the post. Shuri is our dream cat. She is taking her time to warm up to us, but has shown such quick improvement that we are amazed. For the most part she is as Elaine told us, she loves to be in the same room as us: near but not necessarily touching. We have had such success in the past week though with her taking naps next to us on the couch, laying on our chests, and cuddling in between our legs. She tends to be the most feisty/playful in the early morning and evening ... so we give her what she wants (plenty of toys, play wand, rubber ball, etc.) She has two cat climbers already (yes, she's spoiled) and loves being in the cubby sections and top/highest section. Shuri LOVES the windows in our house and LOVES the staircase. She pops her head in and out of each stair, takes shortcuts through the stairs, and lays on the landing. She is talkative and full of opinions and we adore that about her. She really has captured our hearts so quickly and has done very well with the transition here and our expectations of her (no counters, etc.) She is loving, beautiful, and forever our furry friend. We cannot thank you enough for the honesty in the process, as that kept our expectations based in reality, and the speed with which we were able to call her "ours." We are so fortunate and cannot wait to give her a long life of safety, happiness, and love."

We received this fabulous update about Shuri, who was adopted from ARWOB in April 2020.  She is living a wonderful life with her new family after being with ARWOB for just over 2 years.  We could never understand why she was overlooked for so long, but we think she was waiting for this special family to come along.  Here is what her mom has to say:

"She is the greatest gift we could have received. She sounds pretty similar as to how I described her back in July being that she is SO VOCAL and has maintained her sass! She loves talking to my husband and I when we get home from work, or even a 5 minute walk. She sleeps with us and is very into cuddles at night. She loves her window spots still and is getting a cat hammock this weekend so she can sunbathe for even longer (and higher) than in her normal spot on the carpet. She has brought us so much joy and is always brought up in conversation. She has exceeded all expectations we had for our first pet as she has very much stolen both of our hearts.
