Terrel is currently in foster care and ready for adoption via our virtual process! Terrel, a four-year-old male, just arrived and is still getting settled in, so we’re just beginning to learn who they are. Right now, everything is new—new people, new sounds, new routines—and we’re giving them time to relax, decompress, and show us their true personality at their own pace. He is very playful and affectionate. His foster is having a great time with him. "Terrel is a very curious and affectionate boy. His lively energy lights up any room he's in. From the first day, he was going around the entire apartment, sniffing everything. He slept in spots he felt were safer the first night (TV stand, my work chair) but by the next couple nexts, he was sleeping between my partner and I every single night (only child vibes haha). He loves to play, has loads of energy, and is a super curious boy, so would live best in a home that can give him lots of enrichment, attention, and play. He loves cuddles and is an angel when he's feeling affectionate (or sleepy) and will fall asleep right on your lap/ on your chest. When he's very energetic, it's best to give him lots of play, as he likes to explore EVERYTHING (and I mean everything - the shower, every cabinet, the closet, the kitchen). He does get overstimulated sometimes, as every cat does, so you have to be cognizant of when play time is up! Terrel sets the rules :) all in all, he is the sweetest, most handsome boy, and makes me smile everyday, whether that's through his enormous leaps during playtime, his staring at himself in the mirror, following me around everywhere (jumps on the sink next to me while I shower), or how he sleeps with his cute little tongue slightly out sometimes. He adds so much life to every room he enters.". He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped , and has had preventative treatments to ensure he is ready for his next steps. Submit an adoption survey from above and our team will reach out via phone or email (check spam) to schedule a counseling call. For any additional questions, please contact fosternyc@bestfriends.org. Please remember, pets cannot be held or reserved.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
