Story
Meet Desmond Desmond is a tiny tabby with a mysterious side and a heart of gold. This little guy is a master of the incognito sneak, you might not notice him at first, but suddenly he’s right beside you, quietly asking for love with those big curious eyes. He enjoys observing everything around him like a tiny detective, taking in the world before making his gentle move for cuddles.Despite his undercover style, Desmond is incredibly sweet. Once he trusts you, he melts into pets, purrs, and soft little moments that make you feel chosen. He’s the kind of kitten who forms a special bond with his person and will happily keep you company while you relax.If you’re looking for a chill, affectionate little shadow with a playful secret-agent vibe, Desmond just might be your purfect match. Desmond is fully vetted and litterbox trained. He's been exposed to nail trims and baths as needed. He's great with kids and cats but has not been exposed to dogs. Desmond would love to be adopted with one of his siblings Cookie Dough, Aurora, or big foster brother Keychain, but he would do great as a solo adoption as well!Fostering and transporting to places where there is a need for adoptable animals, saves lives, it's that simple. Miami Animal Alliance's goal is to be the premium go to place to find your new family member! We work carefully with our Veterinarians and foster families to prepare our pets to be a healthy and happy new family member!

It is $400 to adopt a pair transported to Colorado and $250 to adopt a pair locally in Oklahoma - this is because we love when the fur babies stay forever with a sibling or friend, but the adoption of a pair is not required.

Story
Meet Aurora Yes, like the princess… but tinier, fuzzier, and with a much cuter meow.Aurora is a teeny little gray tabby with the sweetest squeaky voice you’ve ever heard. She will politely announce herself with tiny mews until you pick her up for the snuggles she clearly deserves.Her hobbies include: Dramatic toy pouncing, looking adorable for absolutely no reason, following humans around like a very small supervisor, and curling up into the tiniest cinnamon roll for naps. She may be small, but her personality is pure magic. If you’re looking for a kitten who will steal your heart and probably your blanket, Aurora is your girl.Someone come adopt this little princess! Aurora is fully vetted, and litterboxed trained. She has been exposed to frequent nail trims and baths as needed. Shes great around kids and cats, but has not been exposed to dogs at all. She would love to be adopted with one of her siblings, Desmond, Cookie Dough, and even her big foster brother Keychain. But would also do great as a solo adoption as long as she receives lots of snuggles and play time.Fostering and transporting to places where there is a need for adoptable animals, saves lives, it's that simple.

Story
Mister Henry: ~7 month old neutered male, $250 Mister Henry is ready to make you his new best friend. He loves to play all day, but purr and cuddle all night. He is definitely a chatter box who wants to tell you all of his thoughts. His curious nature makes him want to be involved with everything you are doing, he is always a step behind you ready to help. He is the most playful little guy who just loves attention and fun. He also loves baths and water and sits perfectly still while getting his nails trimmed. He is extremely brave and loving. Henry will do best in a home with someone who is around a LOT to give him attention or with kids who can play until his heart's content! He would probably do well with a kitty friend, too. Apply at cokittycoalition.com to meet him in Fort Collins! ##2594386##

Story
Please contact Kristin (cats@arrcolorado.org) for more information about this pet.  Iyo is a precious little lady who was saved from a life on the streets. This two-year-old calico is so sweet but also a nervous girl. She loves to be petted and will nuzzle into your hand, but she is scared of fast movements. Iyo would do well starting off her new life with you in a small room (spare bathroom, office) where she can't hide so that you can bond with her.  In time, you will be rewarded by the most lovely girl who is also just gorgeous. Iyo loves other cats and would probably do well with calm dogs. Older kids would be fine, but loud, younger children would likely scare her.  See more of Iyo on Instagram @KittyCatClimberGirl   Foster: BS   Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes that every pet should find a wonderful, caring home. To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask that you fill out an adoption application form so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application we receive and will contact you as quickly as possible. A home visit will be scheduled before any pet is adopted to a new home. Once a home visit has taken place and the adoption application has been approved, we will ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement form. Our adoption fees help cover the cost of spay/neuter, veterinary exams, vaccinations, microchipping, and foster care. Highly requested breeds help cover the vet costs incurred by some of our other cats, enabling us to save more lives! $300 for purebred/highly requested kittens, 6 months or younger, such as Siamese mixes, Maine Coon mixes.  These 'guardian kittens' help support our rescue work by covering vet costs for other kittens. $200 for purebred/highly requested cats older than 6 months such as Siamese mixes, Maine Coone mixes.  These 'guardian cats' help support our rescue work by covering vet costs for other kittens. $200 for kittens (6 months & under)    $125 for cats (older than 6 months)    $75 for senior cats (8 years or older) If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application  here . We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email cats@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can not accept calls at this time. PLEASE NOTE:  The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter.  Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets.  Here is some interesting info on breed identification:  https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/ Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online.  We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting.  Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member!
