Story
??Everyone poops??Dogs. Cats. Heck, we bet that even *YOU* poop (gasp!!!). So really, you won`t be surprised when we tell you that Freedom here - he poops. At four years old, tiny Free Free has gone through a lot of shi...stuff. Found as a kitten with burrs covering his whole behind, he had difficulty using the litterbox before he was diagnosed with a rectal stricture (in scientific terms, his poop chute didn`t operate properly). After months of surgical procedures, the stricture was resolved successfully! But Freedom isn`t exactly `regular`: he uses the litterbox, but inevitably he leaks a little. From the butt. ***Before we share more about this Lil` Turd`s little turds, let`s tell you a little bit about **him**, and why he`s a delight and purrfect companion. No bull??.??Freedom is an affectionate, petite cat at only 5lb (fully grown!). ??He loves kissing people and snuggling with dogs (his purrrrfect home will have a dog to play with!). ??Fun with feather toys and other games, food, and chin scratches are all on the menu when you hang out with Free Free. ***So what kind of care does Freedom need? ??Despite his poopy problem, Freedom is well litterbox trained (he`s never urinated outside the litterbox, and his major stools all go there without problem). ??From a care perspective, his Foster mom uses a quick wet wipe on him twice daily (along with a weekly bath which he takes like a champ!) to keep him cleaner than a Charmin Bear`s bum. ??Freedom wears a diaper when he`s wandering outside of his room - and let`s be real, that`s ADORABLE. ??He takes probiotics and special food to help manage his stool. Freedom also has asymptomatic Feline Coronavirus, which means he will need to be the only cat in the household, but does not currently require any care or treatment for the condition. ***We know it will take a special someone to adopt a cat with an anal anomaly. But Freedom is, ultimately, a perfect cat. He`s playful, cuddly, and loves everyone - he`s special in the truest sense of the word. As his Foster said, she`d be happy to have him live in her office with her forever, but he deserves a chance at a real home. And it`s our job to help him find one.??Everyone poops?? BUTT... only one very special someone will get to take Freedom home.

Story
Hello, all! My name is Kirk and I’m very pleased to meet you. The first thing you will notice about me is my beautiful black coat and perfectly bushy tail. If you’ve got it, flaunt it! But there is more to me than my good looks. Let me tell you more about me.I`m looking for a loving forever home. I am very playful and curious and use my litterbox like a champ. I will keep you laughing with my funny antics! I love to lay on radiators and head-butt other cats. My squeaky ball and cat dancer are my favorite toys. I also like to chat - I have a lot to say!However, I am still a bit shy and unsure. I don’t like sudden loud noises, like the vacuum cleaner or ice maker. I’m not a big fan of being picked up or held and shouldn’t go to a home with young children. I need a patient and experienced adopter, but I am absolutely worth it!If you`d like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website– https://animalalliesrescue.org/adopt/ – and choose me, Kirk! My adoption fee is $150 and AARF wants me to tell you that their adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare kitties like me for our forever homes. By the time you meet us, we’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age appropriate) and microchipped. We’ve been checked by a veterinarian, and we’re up to date on age-appropriate immunizations against rabies and FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus & panleukopenia). Some of us have had extensive surgeries, dental work, or other necessary procedures. AARF is committed to getting all of us entirely ready for a happy, healthy, love-filled life!

Story
Have you ever found yourself sitting on top of your cat tree and thinking, `everything the light touches...is my kingdom`? No? Maybe that`s just me. My name is Simba, and I am ready to take my rightful place as king (of your house).Don`t worry, though. I`m not some sort of spoiled royal with an attitude. I might take a little while to warm up to you when you take me home, but after a few days I`ll be ready for snuggles. And chin scratches. By kingly decree, I do demand daily chin scratches. I love to play with my toys, and the ribbon toys are my favorite (so that way you can join in too)! And once playtime is over, I`m happy to monitor my kingdom from the top of the cat tree or sit next to a window so I can look at the birds. It`s always good to keep an eye on the outside avian subjects -- who knows what they might be up to.As long as we`re slowly and properly introduced, I`m happy to share my kingdom with any other cats you might have. But if you want me as your one and only cat, I`m fine with that too. Either way, you can show your love and appreciation for my benevolent rule by petting my fur (I keep it super soft!) and providing me with food. Because food is AWESOME. I`m on a prescription diet -- it`s one of my few kingly demands. Everyone knows the lion is the king of the jungle, but you can`t have one of those in the house. You can take me home instead! And then we can live happily ever after.If you`d like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website – https://animalalliesrescue.org/cat-application – and choose me, Simba! My adoption fee is $150 and AARF wants me to tell you that their adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare kitties like me for our forever homes.

Story
Hi! My name is Simone. I must have been a baker in a former life, because one of my favorite things to do, according to my foster mom, is making biscuits! Especially when I’m sitting on her lap. And I don’t even care that this biscuit making only yields more petting and no actual biscuits. That’s the advantage of being a cat biscuit maker and not a human biscuit maker.You might have already guessed that sitting on a warm lap is my idea of a great time. Second to that is lying in a window and watching the world outside. What could be better? Sun, birds - kitty TV! And finally, I enjoy playing with other cats. But lap sitting is definitely my favorite.As for things I don’t like . . . well, loud noises. But who does? Loud noises are scary and who wants to be scared? Another thing—being put in a cat carrier. I know that sometimes this will happen, so I just ask that it be limited to only when it`s absolutely necessary. Finally stress, another thing nobody likes. In the past, I have had seizures in response to being stressed. But I am now taking meds to prevent this, which are inexpensive and very helpful.One final thing: my foster mom says I’m “a sweet, gentle soul.” If a cat can blush, well, I’m blushing to even write that. Plus, I’m great at using the litterbox.If I’m the kind of cat you’re looking for, look no further!

Story
If your ideal “cat-mate” is on the sweet and shy side and you’ve left those wild girls in your past, we might be a perfect match. As a mature and reserved lady, I find comfort in routines and like to go at my own pace. After all, life is a journey, not a race. My life is enriched by spending time with humans, receiving pets, exploring and finding cozy spots to relax. Beds and chairs are top of the list. When I meet new humans, it takes a little while to warm up. Once we’ve gotten to know each other better, I’ll nudge you for attention and affection. Did you catch the part at the beginning where I said I’m sweet? It’s worth repeating, I’m super sweet. I didn’t want you to confuse my shyness with anything else. I have a big heart and can’t wait to meet you.If you`d like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website– https://animalalliesrescue.org/adopt/– and choose me, Shea!

Story
Meet Cosmo! A sweet rambunctious young gray tabby looking for his forever home. I found Cosmo a little over a year ago - he was trapped inside a closet at my former job. He was a wild 4 mo. old, jumping on shelves, knocking over books, chewing on loose papers; they insisted on calling animal control, but I swooped him up and took him home. He's the kindest cat - he loves to play and rub up against anything and everything. He not a lap cat but a “need to be as close to you as possible” cat. I’m looking for a forever home for Cosmo, as I am too busy to satisfy his need for play and stimulation. He’s often left alone all day and lacks the necessary play needed to fill his natural urges. Our relationship has suffered significantly and I’m not sure what to do. Cosmo needs a dedicated cat lover who is willing and able to spend quality time with him and satisfy his need for play. As much as I’ll miss my boy, he deserves a home where he is a central character, not in the background.

Story
Clementine is a sassy, affectionate, anxious and playful friend. I adopted her from the Humane Rescue in 2020. They shared that her previous home had rambunctious kids that over stepped her boundaries, picking her up and tossing her whenever they wanted to play. They rehomed her because she wasn’t receptive to that kind of rough housing as would any cat. When we met she was constipated and looked for anywhere to hide. She’s still anxious but warms up when treats enter the mix. She needs space and reassuring head rubs. Loves dangly toys and the laser pointer. She’ll beg like a dog for table food– especially roti, seafood and chicken. Don’t give in. She loves to snuggle up in a blanket and move with the sun beam for naps on the floor. If you work from home, she will be your office manager. If you need to use the bathroom, she’s coming too. If you’re eating she’ll head to her bowl too.
