Story
Larry is a loving young cat. He likes to have his head scratched and he is very active. Larry is fast and likes to go outside. Because of my recent knee surgery I move slowly to he runs outside but he always returns The rv park I live in does not want pets to be outside. This is why I have to let him go. I can't keep up with him anymore.

Story
This 2 year old big boy was rescued from the trash. He takes a while to warm up and can be timid initially but once he is comfortable he will chat your ear off. He does really well with male cats but can be kind of a jerk to female cats if they are more passive. Food is the most important thing and this boy loves his snacks.

Story
Joji is a sweet little cuddle bug! I believe he may have some attachment issues and/or anxiety, so with me being so busy I believe he would thrive better in an environment where his owner can be more present. He can be quite shy and timid at first, loud people or noises tend to frighten him, but he is open and curious to new people but may take his time to open up. Once he does open up he’s the sweetest/chillest little guy ever! I got Joji when he was a baby, he grew up with a female cat who he adores, they get along great! I hate that I need to rehome Joji, he is such a sweet boy! But I think me being gone quite a bit has taken a toll on him and caused him to act out. I just want him to find an owner who will love and cherish him as much as I have!

Story
I took in these two kitties about 8 months ago. They had belonged to an employee, who was needing help navigating beyond a domestic violence situation. My living and financial situation has changed since then, and I am currently forced to move within the next few weeks and will not be permitted to bring any animals with me. They are both sweet kitties. They are approximately 2 years old each-just quite different in size from one another! Autumn is the smaller, blonde one and Lilah is the tortoise type coated one. I would just love to find someone(s) who would be able to take them in and love and care for them. I am sorry that I am not able to any longer. :(

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Prince is a orange tabby with a handsome coat and face.  He is approximately 5-7 years old. He has lived in a shelter  for a number of years after his owner passed away.  Prince is a very cautious guy around new humans but loves the company of other cats. He has come a long way since first arriving at the shelter. He enjoys being brushed, rubbed with scatcher, and petted on his back. He loves Fancy Feast too! Prince would be consider a "socially awkward cat".  What is a socially awkward cat?  Some cats are shy, timid, or fearful of people and other cats. They may hide, avoid, or even lash out when approached by strangers. These cats are not mean or unlovable; they are just socially awkward and need extra time and patience to trust and bond with their human companions. They may never become affectionate lap cats, but they have their own unique ways of showing love and appreciation. If you are looking for a cat who will challenge you, surprise you, and reward you with loyalty and devotion, then you might be the perfect match for one of our socially awkward cats.   Because these cats require more patience and understanding than most, we have a few special policies regarding them:   We will ask more questions about your home environment, other pets, children, and other details to make sure you are the right match for the cat. Please don't be discouraged if you are not the right fit! We have many other cats, and one of them is sure to be a fit. We typically arrange video meet-and-greets for these cats for the initial contact. Most of these cats get stressed out by new situations, and allowing them to be seen without that stress trigger makes for a better experience for everyone. We may discount the adoption fees for these cats. Our first priority is to find the right match between cat and human, and we realize that these kitties may take more time than most to settle in and determine compatibility.   If you think you may be the right fit for Prince or another one of our socially awkward cats, please fill out an interest form today!  Prince has become bonded to his bestie Bourbon - they do everything together and help each other navigate the scariness of the world together!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.    Our adoption fee is $175       If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Cat Interest Form on AZRAIN.ORG and, if you are selected as a prospective adopter, we will contact you to set up a meet and greet. Thank you for considering rescuing an animal in need!     November 15, 2024, 9:59 am

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.

Story
Seeking Loving Home for My Sweet Senior Cats, Leo (male) and Bella (female) Leo is incredibly sweet and affectionate, while Bella his petite sister, (about the size of a six-month-old cat) is equally loving and snuggly as well as talkative. Due to a recent move to a smaller house, I am facing severe allergies that prevent me from keeping them. Although this is a difficult decision, I want to ensure they find a caring environment where they can thrive. * To help ensure a smooth transition, I will provide food and litter for an entire year for both cats and a cat tree. Additionally, I will reimburse the new owner for updating their shots if needed. It is also essential that Leo and Bella be adopted together, as their bond is strong as they are from the same litter and have never been apart.
