Hi… I'm Amber.
I'm still getting used to saying that out loud - "I'm Amber." It feels soft and kind… just like I'm hoping my life will be.
Not long ago, I was all by myself in a loud, echoing place called the shelter. I didn't know why I was there or where everyone had gone. The smells were strange, the sounds were overwhelming, and my little heart beat so fast all the time. I'm a shy girl by nature and can be nervous at first, especially in new places. I tried to be brave, but I was very lonely.
Then one day, they opened my kennel door and placed me in with two boys - Jasper and Flint. I wasn't sure what to think at first, but they were gentle and kind. Flint especially made me feel safe, and before I knew it, he was my comfort, my confidence, and my best friend. Having them with me made everything feel less scary, and for the first time in a while, I didn't feel so alone.
And then something wonderful happened - we got to leave together.
I didn't know what a "foster home" was, but I learned quickly. It's a place with soft blankets, calm voices, and people whose hands are warm and safe. I'm still shy and can be nervous at first, but once I settle in, my sweetness really shines. I might take a little time to adjust, but I promise - I am so worth it.
I'm a dilute tortie girl (they say my fur looks like soft watercolors), about five to six months old, and I am nothing but sweet. I love gentle affection, and at bedtime? That's my favorite part of the day. I want quiet cuddles, soft voices, and someone to curl up with while the world goes to sleep. Flint is always right there with me, and we'd love a home where we can stay together - we truly are the best of friends.
I may still be figuring things out, but I know this much:I'm ready for love, patience, and a family who will never let me feel alone again. A few treats, a cozy bed, bedtime cuddles, and my best friend by my side? That sounds just about perfect.
Love,Amber & Flint
