Hi, I'm Carolina Raine!I'm a little reserved, as I am still getting used to the shelter environment but if you go slow with me, I do enjoy being pet and will give you head butts! Being around so many cats and people at the shelter is a little overwhelming for a cat like me. To let my true colors shine, I will need patient and caring companions who will allow me to slowly adjust to my new life. Dogs are very scary and I'm FIV+ so I will need to be your one and only, but that's okay because I'm so special I'm the only one you'll ever need!

I know that I am a DIVA!'  As with all our foster cat/kitten children, Tiffany has been altered, microchipped, has had her shots, and has been tested for FIV and feline leukemia.

Story
Introducing Tai Shan, the adorably rotund senior cow cat with a heart of gold! Tai Shan may not be the most energetic feline in the shelter, but he’s certainly earned the title of “Cuddle King” among his fellow residents. You see, he’s not just a favorite among humans; every kitty in the shelter adores him. It’s as if Tai Shan exudes an irresistible charm that transcends species boundaries! This somewhat shy, low-energy, laid-back feline is all about the fine art of lounging. If there’s one thing Tai Shan truly excels at, it’s perfecting the art of relaxation. He’s content with finding the comfiest spot in the room and settling in for a leisurely nap. All he really needs in life is a plush, cozy bed, a sunbeam to bask in, and perhaps a feline cuddle buddy or two to share his peaceful moments with. Tai Shan’s journey began behind Mailee’s Thai restaurant in Scottsdale, where he and his three litter mates were rescued as kittens. While his fellow siblings found loving homes early on, Tai Shan remained in the shelter, patiently waiting for his forever family. Now, his plump and endearing presence is a testament to his resilience in holding out for his perfect human and the love he’s ready to offer.

Story
Midnight is a shy and mysterious mini panther beauty. She loves to climb in high or hidden places, and lives for dinner time, treat time, second dinner time, catnip time, and string toy time! Midnight knows what she wants and has a distinct and unforgettable meow, which she will use to tell you all of her thoughts on the speed her food is being delivered (hint: not fast enough). Never fully growing to trust people after a difficult early life, Midnight has spent a lot of her life in the shelter and gets along great with other cats. It would warm our hearts to find Midnight her very own forever home to retire in, with a loving and patient human family who let her be her shy self.

Seriously, she’s got more digits than a surrealist masterpiece! 🎨🐾 Our unique tabby, who harmonizes well with her feline friends, is on a mission to charm her way into your heart and possibly onto your lap. Those extra toes aren't just for show; they're her secret weapon for toe-tally stealing your affection. Who needs a four-leaf clover when you can have a polydactyl tabby bringing good luck and endless cuddles into your life? Ready to add a touch of toe-rrific charm to your home? Adopt Sandy, the polydactyl wonder, and let the laughter and love begin! 🐾❤️ #PolyPurrfection #AdoptUniquePaws

Swipe right for Sunny, the feline heartbreaker who plays hard-to-get but melts like butter with the right scratches! This suave orange tabby, born to captivate, arrived at the shelter with his mom and two sisters, and he's been honing his elusive charm for years. Sunny may give you the cold shoulder at first, but unraveling his mysterious aura is part of the enchantment. Picture this: a handsome cat who raises his butt in the air when you hit the sweet spot on his lower back. It's the feline equivalent of a coy smile! Sunny’s perfect furrever home will include another feline friend. Don’t worry, if you don’t have one, we’ve got a couple to recommend (wink, wink). Sunny’s perfect human embraces patience, understands his laid-back charm, and appreciates the occasional need for a quiet sunlit nap—because this charming orange tabby deserves a forever home tailored to his relaxed feline style. Ready for a relationship that keeps you on your toes? Unleash your charm offensive and be the one to crack Sunny's code. Swipe right, and let the pursuit of love begin! #SunnyDaysAhead #AdoptALazyCat #SunnyLoveStory #CatCharm #SwipeRightForSunny

Story
Fisher is a disco party dressed up as a sweet black cat, and he’s looking for a fun human to keep up with him. If he isn’t running on the cat wheel, you may find him with all four paws in the air wiggling about in a pile of catnip, climbing, carefully watching the neighborhood from the window, or figuring out how to get treats. Most homes would work well for Fisher, and he would work especially well with other cats as he is a gentle and respectful boy who is just here to have a good time. He is a big, light-hearted goofball – if you’re a fun and loving human prepared to keep an endless supply of catnip in your home pantry (and possibly a cat-sized hamster wheel) Fisher wants to meet you!

Story
Hey I'm Mozzarella!I am a highly energetic, active cat with a lot of curiosity and few inhibitions. Because I tend to act out when I am bored, over stimulated, or frustrated, I must have an adult only home with experienced, cat-savvy adopters (preferably only one person) - if you have experience with my breed or with other high energy/high prey-drive cat breeds such as Bengals, Chausies, or Savannahs that would be a plus. I am not a good cat for people who want a snuggly, well-mannered cat. I do best when I am a solo act. If you are looking for a charming rogue of a cat and think I might be a good match, you can make an appointment to meet me by emailing jskinner@aawl.org.

Story
Rescued cats need new home Meet Laverne and Shirley. I have been taking care of these cuties for a couple of years now, ever since they were abandoned by their owners, who used to be my neighbors. The landlord does not allow pets, and I never intended to have pets, so I am looking for a new home for them. They are sisters, about five years old. They are very tame, house-trained and like human contact. They can be good with other cats and kids, once they are acclimated. From what I have observed, they are calm around dogs as long as the dogs are calm around them. They have both been spayed and vaccinated for rabies and FVRCP. It would be nice if they were adopted together, but what is most important is that the find new homes.
