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.

Story
I first met Eva in the spring of 2023 after my cat, Archer, ran away from home. While searching my cat, I came across a lost-and-found post online with Eva's photo and thought she might be Archer. When I contacted the person who had found her, she explained that she couldn’t keep Eva and asked me to take her to Petco for shelter. When I brought Eva to Petco, the employees informed me they didn’t have space for her at that time and asked if I could care for her temporarily until her owner contacted me or they could accommodate her. Almost two years have passed since then, and although I never heard from her original owner or Petco, I grew very fond of Eva and would love to continue keeping her. Unfortunately, I’ll soon be traveling out of the country for an extended period and can no longer take care of her. I’m hoping to find someone who can provide Eva with a loving home. She is about two years old, spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Thank you so much for considering her!
