Thank you for your interest in adopting a cat or dog. We are open for adoption by appointment Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday-Sunday we are open for walk-in visitors from 11 to 3:00. NO Appointment needed Wednesday-Sunday. Please copy the link below to schedule your appointment for Monday and Tuesday. https://foothillsanimalrescue.as.me/schedule/e47d5799Hi, I am Cleo! Cleo still has a bit of kitten energy herself, with plenty of playful and curious behavior. She came to us during Spring Training with her five newborn kittens, and now it’s finally her turn to find a forever family. Cleo is shy at first, but incredibly sweet and affectionate once she feels safe. She may need some time to adjust and build trust, but a little patience—and some freeze-dried chicken—will win her heart forever. Once she bonds with you, she’ll happily snuggle up at night. Cleo enjoys both wet and dry food and does best with free feeding. She would thrive in a home with someone who has cat experience. While cautious, she is comfortable around calm dogs and other young cats. Her foster family would love to receive updates if the adopter is willing.

Story
Hello there! My name is Calypso, and I’m a beautiful calico kitty with a heart full of sweetness and love. One day, I just appeared in someone’s backyard, looking for a place to call home. I’m a gentle soul, with fur that’s as bright and colorful as my personality. I did spend a short time in a foster home and they learned a few important things about me. I am very afraid of dogs and should not live with one. I also do not like other cats.....so.......... I must be your one and only pet please. I`m a fantastic huntress and needs lots of interactive playtime each day to practice all of hunting skills. As for pets, I can sometimes get overstimulated with too many pets so I will let you know when I am done. My fur feels like silk though and you`ll know I`m enjoying my time with you when I weave in and out of your legs. Some might say I have a short fuse, but lots of playtime and enrichment tends to calm my nerves. I`m a smart girl and very food motivated and am currently learning clicker training. I am working hard to be the best version of myself and am excited to share with my new family all of my best behaviors! I’m ready to find my forever home, a place where I can give all my love, snuggles, and purrs. Experienced cat owners only please!

Cami is ready for her forever home. She’s a beautiful calico girl, born approximately 11/5/2021. Cami’s spine is damaged but she gets around just fine. She does need her bladder and bowels expressed. She’s on a good routine now and spends the day in a diaper and sleeps without a diaper in a kennel at night. She’s a little shy with new people and she loves other gentle kitties. She is spayed, current on vaccines, tested Negative for FIV/FeLV and microchipped and her adoption fee is $180. We can teach you how to care for her! She’s adorable!! January 31, 2026, 10:27 pm

Story
Meet Buster, the tuxedo-clad bodyguard who takes his `black tie` dress code—and his big brother duties—very seriously. Buster is what we like to call `spicy-lite.` He’s a sensitive soul who uses hisses as his primary form of communication when he’s unsure, but don’t let the tough-guy act fool you: he’s strictly `all bark and no bite.` He has never once scratched or bitten; he just needs a little extra time and a lot of patience to realize you`re part of the team. Here are our secrets about Buster: the fast track way to winning him over is with head scratches and a toy wand. He can’t resist them and will set aside his spicy attitude the moment a feather starts dancing. When he isn`t hunting wands, he is likely busy being the most hygienic kitten on the planet—he is a meticulous groomer who stays looking sharp 24/7. Buster came in with his orange brother, Julius, and they would love to stay together for life! Regardless, it would be best for Buster to be in a home with another feline to help ease his transition.

Hi! My name is Connie. I pack a lot of love and affection in a tiny body. I am one of the most affectionate cats you’ll meet. You need to be careful though because I like to stay really close, even when you’re walking, and I am known to dart in front of you because I want your attention. Because of this, I would not be suitable for a home with elderly people because i could easily create a fall. I am positively lovable and don’t like to be alone. If you’ve been looking for love in all the wrong places, I might be the face you’ve been waiting for to share in all the sweetness. Make an appointment to meet me if you think you can handle the love bombing. Thank you for your interest! Please visit www.foothillsanimal.org/adopt. We currently conduct Adoptions by Appointment ONLY. You will find a link to schedule your appointment on our website. Please read each pet`s bio for more information. Due to the large number of requests, we are unable to respond personally to each email at this time. Thank you!
