Meet Ari, a year-old cat looking for a forever home. She is a domestic shorthair mix with striped grey fur and large, luminous green and yellow eyes. Still a tiny little thing weighing only 5 pounds, Ari came from an animal cruelty case in Kaufman County. She can be a bit shy at first, but, after a warming up period, she will be more than happy to get some serious chin-scratching done. It might also be helpful to have another cat in the house to help her relax and get used to a new environment. In the beginning of her new journey, she may want to hide a bit, and hopefully her new parents will be patient with her. Ari is currently at the Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center in Dallas and can be visited any day between noon and 6 p.m. No appointment is necessary.
