Meet Fern - seeking Boulder/Denver area foster or adopter - Courtesy post
Meet Fern!
Fern is a gentle, playful and affectionate young kitty around 1 year old and weighing 8 lbs. She's a dilute Tortoiseshell beauty who is spayed, up to date on her kitty vaccinations, and full of quiet charm.
Her people need to find her a good home as Fern doesn't fit in with their challenging household pet dynamics. She's currently in southwest Utah but her people can bring her to Colorado if someone is interested in either adopting or fostering her.
She's a bit demure when meeting strangers but once she warms up, she's well worth the wait. With a little patience, interactive playtime, and a calm environment, her affectionate, curious nature truly shines. Once she feels safe, she’ll be your loyal shadow —- always nearby, watching what you're up to and offering sweet companionship.
Her people believe Fern would thrive in a home with either no other cats or only one active and welcoming cat. She’s been very respectful and patient in trying to befriend the resident cat in her foster home — offering slow blinks and quiet companionship — even if her efforts haven’t been returned. She currently lives with a large and intense dog who makes her uneasy, but she may do well with a mellow dog who gives her space.
Before coming into foster care, Fern lived outdoors and raised one litter of kittens. Despite her tough start, she’s adapted beautifully to indoor life: no hesitation, no looking back. She’s resilient, in great health, intelligent, and eager to be part of a calm, loving home.
Fern is the ultimate feline assistant! She'll follow you from room to room, quietly supervising your daily activities, whether you’re working, reading, or just making coffee. She’s not a lap cat (yet) but she’s a “right nearby” cat who thrives on your presence and loves being part of your world!
Fern's history: After giving birth to five kittens, Fern and one of her babies were compassionately captured and brought in for spaying with the intention of being released back outdoors. Her rescuers quickly realized that Fern was very friendly and wanted attention from people! Her kitten was adopted by a good home. Fern is understandably a bit reticent if she doesn't yet know someone, but she quickly warms up with play, treats, and calm attention.
Since she's been in foster care she's quickly gained confidence to hop up on the couch or bed while the resident dog was there. Sadly, the dog became reactive and has started to almost lunge at Fern when she's in his space. When Fern has gently approached the resident 14-year-old kitty, the kitty made it quite clear Fern was in her territory -- resulting in deep growling and hissing even now, after two months of attempts to make the older kitty happy. Fern's rescuers want to make sure she's safe, so they're looking for a more peaceful environment for her.
Fern deserves to be able to be her playful curious self and desperately seems to want attention from humans and potentially other animals that are more amenable.
Her fosters have no idea how she would be with young children but anticipate that she would need a calm environment while she gets used to a new home and people. She has always been very gentle, only play biting sometimes and never scratching. She is okay being picked up and doesn't even struggle during nail trims. Being a normal kitty, she does enjoy nighttime solo play sessions, so her adopter(s) should expect this for awhile until she gets older.
Her fosters say she'll be a fantastic cat for someone. They just need help finding them!

Disclaimer: The companion animal you are interested in is a courtesy post. Summit Dog Rescue often helps dogs and cats outside our organization to find their forever homes, and these are called "courtesy posts.” By courtesy posting pets from owners and other rescues, we offer our website (and sometimes email assistance) as a resouce to help their pet gain extra exposure. The pet’s bio comes directly from the owner or rescue, and we expect them to provide accurate information, to the best of their knowledge. Summit Dog Rescue in most cases has not met or evaluated these companion animals, so no information about a courtesy post dog or cat is guaranteed. We cannot accept responsibility for any injury or damages to any person or property caused by any courtesy post animals. Courtesy post pets are the sole responsibility of the owner and the adopter. In addition, SDR cannot take these pets in if the courtesy post adoption does not work out.
Also, although we occasionally might ask you to email us (if you’re interested in adopting a courtesy post pet), it’s just so we can help the owner or rescue connect with applicants. You’ll be adopting your new pet directly from the owner or the other rescue, not from Summit Dog Rescue. Please let us know if you’re comfortable with us sharing your information with the owner of the courtesy post pet.
