Story
Hi, I`m Cupie!I’m a 10-year-old lady with a heart full of love and a gentle purr that could melt your stress away. Life hasn`t always been easy, but I still believe there`s a perfect forever home out there just for me. I may be a little older, but that just means I`m past the wild kitten phase and more into the `let`s relax and enjoy life together` stage. Honestly, I think it`s pretty great. I’d love to be your one and only — no other pets, please. I have a lot of love to give, and I want to share it all with you. I`m sweet, quiet, and just looking for a soft place to land and someone to love me for who I am. If you`re ready to open your heart to a mellow, affectionate companion who just wants to be your best friend, I’m here… patiently waiting.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.

Hello, I`m Yale!I`m a shy kitty who`s still working on getting used to humans. I`m looking for a cat savvy home that will help me blossom into the best adult cat I can be. While it may be hard to resist my adorable little face, please remember that we kittens require lots of time, energy, and attention while we are still learning the ropes and exploring our environment! I would do best with another social cat in the home who can be a mentor for me and show me that humans are cool! Come ask about me today!I would do best in a home where my humans are willing to give me time and space to be able to adjust to my new home, at my own pace. I would love to have another `mentor cat` in the home who can show me the ropes. When given time, our bond will become unbreakable and we will have the best life together!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
Hello there… my name is Bette, and I’m part of the Hollywood Starlets kitten crew. I may be a little shy at first, but with patience, love, and gentle encouragement, I’ll show you my true star-quality personality. I’m a sleek, all-black beauty with soft fur and a quiet charm. I love observing the world around me and slowly exploring new spaces when I feel safe. I might take some time to come out of my shell, but once I do, I’m a sweet, affectionate, and loyal little companion who loves quiet snuggles and gentle attention. If you’re looking for a kitten who will bloom with the right care and become your little hidden gem, I could be the perfect match. Please give me the time and patience I need to shine—I promise it will be worth it.

Not good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Hi, this is Millie. Millie is a diluted calico cat who is approximately 3 years old. She needs an experienced person to handle her. She can be spicy, but also a love bug. I have to rehome her, as for some reason she gets aggressive with my sister and got aggressive with me one time. She can be incredibly sweet, but she needs to go to a good home with someone who can meet her needs, love her, and appreciate her. I'm not sure how well she gets along with other cats or dogs, as I don't have any other animals. She has her rabies shots and FRVCP vaccine; she is also spayed. Her shots are recent, as we got them in August 2025. She will lie and cuddle with you and loves to play a lot. She still has that kitten energy!
