Charlotte is in Urgent Need of a Foster or Forever Home

We are very sad to report that a friend and one of ARF’s most dedicated cat foster moms is in hospital following a sudden and serious illness.

This has left Charlotte in desperate need of a home as our remaining cat foster homes are currently at capacity.

If you would like to foster or adopt Charlotte, please contact fostering.cats@arf.ab.ca or fill out our online adoption application.
