Story
Hi, I`m Nero!As you can tell by my imperial name, I like to be in charge. I am confident, outgoing, and nosy. I like to know everyone`s business. I have a trusty sidekick (my brother Augustus) that has been with me my entire life and I take my responsibility to protect him VERY seriously. We go everywhere together so, of course, we are looking for a new empire where we can live together with cat savvy people who understand that I will be in charge. Ideally, our new family will have a way that my brother and I can have safe outdoor access via Catio, Arizona Room, or enclosed patio (I need to be able to monitor the neighborhood while being safe from outdoor dangers).Email jskinner@aawl.org for more information, and to set up a meet and greet!Meet me at AAWL`s Main Shelter!25 N. 40th StPhoenix AZ 85034602-273-6852Adoption Hours:Monday - ClosedTuesday - Friday & Sunday - 11:30am - 6:00pmSaturday - 10:30am - 6:00pm.AAWL requires that all adopted dogs leave with a leash and collar and all cats leave in a carrier.

Story
Hi, I`m AugustusI`m a friendly, curious guy who likes to explore, play with toys and assist people with their daily tasks (I`m an excellent assistant). I do sometimes like to get into things that I think might contain treats or toys, but with my adorable bob-tail you`ll quickly forgive me. I like exploring but I can be a little cautious, so I let my brother Nero take the lead. He likes to be in charge of everything and I like to follow along so I can report when he gets into trouble. In addition to staying with my brother, I am hoping for a home with a cat-savvy family that has a catio, Arizona Room, or enclosed patio where my brother and I can safely have some outside time.Augustus and his brother reside in our Feline Behavior area. To set up a meet & greet appointment, email Jskinner@aawl.org

Hello, I`m Gamma!I`m not used to being in a shelter, so I`m quite shy and timid here. However, once I get comfortable in a home, I can be confident, playful, and affectionate with my humans. I`ll never say no to a good neck or butt scratch! I`m looking for a nice, calm home where I can be the only cat. All I need to be happy is a sunlit window where I can watch the outdoors, a cozy hidey bed, and a human to give and receive love and affection! Do I sound like the kitty for you?No appointment necessary!Meet me at AAWL`s Main Shelter!25 N. 40th StPhoenix AZ 85034602-273-6852Adoption Hours:Monday - ClosedTuesday - Friday & Sunday - 11:30am - 6:00pmSaturday - 10:30am - 6:00pm.AAWL requires that all adopted dogs leave with a leash and collar and all cats leave in a carrier.

Story
Hey there, I`m Ginsberg!If you`re looking for the most special kitty around, I might be the one for you! I can be timid at first, but once I feel comfortable, I’m friendly, sweet, and full of personality! I may always be on the shyer side, so I’ll need a patient family who understands that I need time to adjust. I might do best in a home with another kitty to keep me company and help me trust that humans are just as cool as they say! My new family should be ready to give me the space I need while I adjust, but with lots of love and understanding, I’ll form a deep bond & show you my unconditional affection. Though I come off as a solo, independent guy, once I’m comfortable, I’ll be your little shadow! You`ll probably find me following you around wherever you go! I also love to chit-chat, so get ready for some lively conversations about the latest gossip. I can’t wait to find a cozy, safe home where I can truly feel understood. I look forward to meeting you!If you`re searching for a kitty that sounds just as purr-fect as me, email jskinner@aawl.org for more information, and to set up a meet and greet!

I know that I am a DIVA!'  As with all our foster cat/kitten children, Tiffany has been altered, microchipped, has had her shots, and has been tested for FIV and feline leukemia. She is positive for FIV. Please e-mail Shelley at s_stelmach@yahoo.com for more information on this diva girl.March 7, 2024: THE ADOPTION FEE FOR DOGS/PUPPIES VARIES GIVEN AGE, BREED, ETC..

Story
Midnight is a shy and mysterious mini panther beauty. She loves to climb in high or hidden places, and lives for dinner time, treat time, second dinner time, catnip time, and string toy time! Midnight knows what she wants and has a distinct and unforgettable meow, which she will use to tell you all of her thoughts on the speed her food is being delivered (hint: not fast enough). Never fully growing to trust people after a difficult early life, Midnight has spent a lot of her life in the shelter and gets along great with other cats. It would warm our hearts to find Midnight her very own forever home to retire in, with a loving and patient human family who let her be her shy self.

Sunny’s perfect furrever home will include another feline friend. Don’t worry, if you don’t have one, we’ve got a couple to recommend (wink, wink).

Ready for a relationship that keeps you on your toes? Unleash your charm offensive and be the one to crack Sunny's code.

Story
Fisher is a disco party dressed up as a sweet black cat, and he’s looking for a fun human to keep up with him. If he isn’t running on the cat wheel, you may find him with all four paws in the air wiggling about in a pile of catnip, climbing, carefully watching the neighborhood from the window, or figuring out how to get treats. Most homes would work well for Fisher, and he would work especially well with other cats as he is a gentle and respectful boy who is just here to have a good time. He is a big, light-hearted goofball – if you’re a fun and loving human prepared to keep an endless supply of catnip in your home pantry (and possibly a cat-sized hamster wheel) Fisher wants to meet you!

This lovely tabby lass is Anna! She came to our shelter when she was only 2 days old with her momma cat and 2 siblings. Anna has the most beautiful topaz eyes and a playful, talkative disposition. She is an athletic kitten who loves to run and chase toys. Her favorite pasttimes include napping on high shelves and sunbathing close to the window in a sunbeam. Which is fitting, because she is a cheerful little ray of sunshine herself!

These pups are in Phoenix, Arizona too!

Story
Hey I`m Mozzarella!I am a highly energetic, active cat with a lot of curiosity and few inhibitions. Because I tend to act out when I am bored, over stimulated, or frustrated, I must have an adult only home with experienced, cat-savvy adopters (preferably only one person) - if you have experience with my breed or with other high energy/high prey-drive cat breeds such as Bengals, Chausies, or Savannahs that would be a plus. I am not a good cat for people who want a snuggly, well-mannered cat. I do best when I am a solo act. If you are looking for a charming rogue of a cat and think I might be a good match, you can make an appointment to meet me by emailing jskinner@aawl.org.*My adoption fee has been sponsored. This means you can take me home for FREE!*

*NEEDS TO GO IN A HOME WITH NO OTHER PETS This cat is my best friend and I love her so dearly. She is sassy and mischievous and cuddly but lets you know when she has had enough and where she accepts pets! She loves to play with fish-pole cat toys and snuggle at night next to you. She NEEDS a clean litter box. Please clean it everyday for her if you adopt her. She prefers something she can move around, a finer grit than something like pellets. If you gave other pets, she will mark her territory on the floor/bed. If the litter box isnt clean, she will mark her territory as well to let you know she is unhappy. I will be picky about the home she goes to because I care so much about her
