Hi there, this is Axl he is great with other dogs though he has no prior experience with cats. He lives temptations specifically the cat nip ones and he loves shrimp. You can hold him he likes being held like a baby. I’m looking to find him a better home as we are about to have a baby and know we will have less time with him.

Story
I found this beautiful girl in a park on a very hot day. She looked scared, so I called to her softly, and she walked right up to me and let me pick her up without any resistance. It was like she knew she needed help. I took her to the vet: she’s fully vaccinated, was checked for parasites, and is completely healthy. She has a funny little kink in her tail from an old injury, but the vet confirmed it’s fully healed and doesn’t cause her any pain — it’s part of her charm. You can tell she had a rough time on the streets, because she still struggles to feel safe. I already have another cat at home, and she seems much calmer being the only pet — she needs a home of her own where she can heal without having to compete for space. She’s affectionate and trusted me from the very first moment. She just needs patience, time, and a peaceful home where she can be queen of the house.

Story
We are looking for a loving new home for our cat after the recent passing of my mom, who was their owner and companion. Unfortunately, our family is unable to keep the cat, but we are committed to finding a safe, caring home rather than surrendering them to a shelter where their future may be uncertain. Chandler is 10, he’s neutered, and he is so friendly and nice. He loves to play with yarn and just be around. We want to find someone who can provide the love and stability they deserve during this transition. If you are interested or know someone who might be a good fit, please reach out. We are happy to answer questions and discuss whether it’s the right match.

With love and patience, you'll gain a devoted friend who simply wants to feel safe and cherished. | Cats: Likes with proper introduction. | Dogs: Unknown, has not met a dog. | Kids: sociable with kids over 12.| Health information: All cats and kittens are spayed and neutered, preventatively dewormed, and microchipped.

Approximate Date of Birth: 3/15/26 | Hello friend! I'm Bear Wiggles, a sweet bundle of love with plenty of playful energy to keep you smiling all day, until I find the coziest, fluffiest spot to curl up for a nap. I have a few siblings that I love to wrestle, chase, and snuggle with, so I'd be happiest in a home with a friendly feline companion to share my adventures and cuddle sessions. Ribbon wand toys are my favorite, and I never turn down a yummy treat or a little extra attention. While I'm a curious, fun-loving kitten, my favorite place is right beside my people, soaking up all the love I can get. If you let me, I'll happily become your tiny shadow, following you from room to room, curling up next to you whenever you sit down, and reminding you every day just how special you are. I'm ready to fill your home with purrs, cuddles, laughter, and unconditional love, are you ready to make me part of your family? | Cats: Requires feline companion. | Dogs: Unknown but optimistic. | Children: Sociable with kids over the age of 8.| Health information: All cats and kittens are spayed and neutered, preventatively dewormed, and microchipped.

He will make a wonderful soulmate for some luck person. | Sociable with cats: Loves cats and requires a companion if home alone for a long time | Sociable with dogs: Unknown, has not met a dog | Sociable with kids: Unknown| Health information: All cats and kittens are spayed and neutered, preventatively dewormed, and microchipped.

Story
Salem is a sweet, shy boy who loves to have back and forth conversations with his humans. When he warms up to you, he loves to cuddle and receive pets. He thoroughly enjoys being brushed. Salem is currently staying in a home with 6 other cats and two dogs. He tolerates/ignores the dogs and is able to get along with most other cats. The only issue we’re having is he doesn’t get along with our small sick cat. Salem also does fine with kids. He currently lives with a toddler and simply avoids him. He’s an all around loving boy and would make a great addition to any household.

This slinky little guy is an affectionate one! He is super loving to other cats and people. He’s never swiped, he lets me clip his nails and would do great with another cat, dogs are unknown but I wouldn’t expect him to be. He is shy at first but easily broken with some treats. He is great with my young children but my newborn has started developing allergies and his a likely source. Friends and family aren’t available and I really want him to be with a loving pet parent

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet this brave mama, Sabina, a young cat who has already lived a lifetime of love and courage. She was found just days after giving birth, exhausted and trying her best to keep her newborns safe. RAIN stepped in and rescued her from a kill shelter, and from the moment she arrived, she showed her true nature — sweet, trusting, and grateful for every gentle hand that helped her care for her babies. Motherhood hasn’t been easy. She raised three kittens all on her own, and like any single mom, she has her moments of sunshine and her moments of “please give me a minute.” But even on her grumpy days, she’s never unkind — just tired, honest, and deserving of rest. Now that her kittens are growing and she finally has space to breathe, she’s ready for something she’s never had: a calm, adult home where she can be the only cat and the center of someone’s world. She dreams of soft blankets, quiet rooms, slow affection, and a human who understands that she’s healing from a busy chapter and stepping into a new one. Sabina has done her job. She’s raised her babies. Now she’s ready to be someone’s baby. Come visit Sabrina at Chandler Petsmart 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!     August 9, 2026, 10:35 pm
