Meet Mallory!

Mallory is a beautiful black beauty with a heart as soft as her fur! Mallory is a shy kitty that takes some time to warm up to you, but once she does, she is all about the cuddles. She'd love a quiet home where she can soak up all the warmth in a sunny window!

Mallory has been with AARF since May of 2024. She's spent over a year in the foster system and she's ready for a real home of her own! Mallory is a lover of treats and gets along great with other cats.

In this day and age of chaos, why not take it slow and relax with Mallory? She can show you how to find your zen!

For the month of June, Mallory's adoption fee is only $75! If you are interested in falling in love with Mallory, just reach out to AARF and we will arrange a meet and greet!

Thanks Salem Academy for this wonderful project!

During Maymester, our freshmen and sophomores completed their annual Compassion Projects—meaningful, student-led experiences that served our local community. Over the next week, we will be sharing highlights from each interest group and the impact they made.

First up is the Animal Allies group, who devoted their service project to supporting AARF, a local animal rescue. This group's love for animals set the tone for an inspiring week of service. Thank you to AARF for welcoming our students and allowing them to learn, serve, and make a difference.
