More about Amber

Hi… I’m Amber. I’m still getting used to saying that out loud — “I’m Amber.” It sounds nice, doesn’t it? A little while ago, I was all by myself in a loud, echoing place called “the shelter.” I didn’t understand why I was there or where everyone had gone. Everything smelled strange, and all the noises made my little heart beat fast. Then one day, they opened my kennel door and put me in with two boys — Jasper and Flint. I wasn’t sure what to think at first, but they were kind, and for the first time, I didn’t feel so alone. And then something wonderful happened — we got to leave together! I didn’t know what “foster home” meant, but it turns out it’s a place with soft blankets, gentle voices, and people who smell like kindness. I’m still a bit quiet...a little shy, still learning that hands mean love and not fear, but I’m starting to purr more each day. I’m a diluted torti girl (that means I wear soft watercolor fur, or so I’m told), about as sweet as they come once you give me a little time. I'm about six months old. I’d love a home of my own — maybe one with another kitty friend who can help me keep believing the world is a safe, warm place. I may still be figuring it all out, but I know this much: I’m ready for love, safety, and a family that will never let me feel alone again. A few treats and some cuddles? Well… that sounds pretty perfect too. Love,Amber If you would like to meet your new best friend, contact the Adoption Coordinator at [email protected] or 865-236-0830.
