Story
Larry is a loving young cat. He likes to have his head scratched and he is very active. Larry is fast and likes to go outside. Because of my recent knee surgery I move slowly to he runs outside but he always returns The rv park I live in does not want pets to be outside. This is why I have to let him go. I can't keep up with him anymore.

Story
I moved to Arizona about 6 months ago and found these two babies in my apartment complex not long after. I’ve been able to keep them for a while and tried to find them a home through people at work but no one was able too. I already have five cats of my own and can’t keep another two. They’re super sweet and adorable. They love to play. And would make a great addition to any family. They are sisters and I would love for a family to adopt them together but that’s not a requirement if you can only take one. They love cat nip mice and taking naps together. Please feel free to message me with any questions or if you would like more pictures.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Oreo came into our lives as a teeny, mewing three-day-old. His mama (a gorgeous Siamese with sky blue eyes) was trapped and gave birth to Oreo, his brother, and two sisters in the trap shortly after.  Before he was named Oreo we called him Feisty - of all the kittens he had the most to say as we brought him home. We couldn't have been any farther off.   We've come to know Oreo to be a thoughtful, gentle, affectionate, and patient kitten.    Of the litter, he is the most timid, but he is by no means shy. He has a slow, old-soul feel about him and takes his time to assess any situation. He'll often observe as his litter mates tumble over a toy while he patiently waits his turn and his purr is a soft rumble like a storm a couple miles in the distance.    Once he's opened up it's not uncommon for him to stop by for a snuggle. While I'm working he'll sometimes snuggle in my arms and chest and politely avoids laying on the keyboard. Otherwise he'll rest somewhere soft nearby.    If he's anywhere he ought not to be, a gentle clap will get him out of trouble. He will even (happily) leave a room if you call him with a "here kitty kitty" as we've tied that phrase to treats. He is a very, very good kitten.    Things we love about Oreo: • He stomps a little when he comes down the stairs and it's adorable. We can literally tell it's him just from the stomps.  • AKA Blackbean because he has one solitary black foot pad on his left rear foot, all the rest are pink.  • AKA The Riddler because his tail makes a perfect question mark. • We also call him double stufd because of the thick white stripe on his belly. • He is so, so gentle and is very careful not to claw.  • He will sometimes oversee litter cleanings and make sure everything is up to par.  • He rests his paws on top of the water bowl when he drinks.  • Sometimes he purrs when he plays.    Things Oreo Loves: • Watching TV • Being near his people.  • Looking at and/or Pawing Water • Kleenex - used or not!   Favorite Toy:  Kitty Dancer  Balled up paper - sticky notes especially 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!     March 22, 2025, 5:52 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Prince is a orange tabby with a handsome coat and face.  He is approximately 5-7 years old. He has lived in a shelter  for a number of years after his owner passed away.  Prince is a very cautious guy around new humans but loves the company of other cats. He has come a long way since first arriving at the shelter. He enjoys being brushed, rubbed with scatcher, and petted on his back. He loves Fancy Feast too! Prince would be consider a "socially awkward cat".  What is a socially awkward cat?  Some cats are shy, timid, or fearful of people and other cats. They may hide, avoid, or even lash out when approached by strangers. These cats are not mean or unlovable; they are just socially awkward and need extra time and patience to trust and bond with their human companions. They may never become affectionate lap cats, but they have their own unique ways of showing love and appreciation. If you are looking for a cat who will challenge you, surprise you, and reward you with loyalty and devotion, then you might be the perfect match for one of our socially awkward cats.   Because these cats require more patience and understanding than most, we have a few special policies regarding them:   We will ask more questions about your home environment, other pets, children, and other details to make sure you are the right match for the cat. Please don't be discouraged if you are not the right fit! We have many other cats, and one of them is sure to be a fit. We typically arrange video meet-and-greets for these cats for the initial contact. Most of these cats get stressed out by new situations, and allowing them to be seen without that stress trigger makes for a better experience for everyone. We may discount the adoption fees for these cats. Our first priority is to find the right match between cat and human, and we realize that these kitties may take more time than most to settle in and determine compatibility.   If you think you may be the right fit for Prince or another one of our socially awkward cats, please fill out an interest form today!  Prince has become bonded to his bestie Bourbon - they do everything together and help each other navigate the scariness of the world together!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!     November 15, 2024, 9:59 am

Story
Hello! This is Jasper. He has been a sweet, loving cat since living with me. I had previously taken him in off of a Facebook ad posted about him after his original owner had passed away. Unfortunately, due to allergies being developed and a new pet policy in place at my apartment complex, I'm having to rehome him. Over the past year and a few months of him living with me, he has proven to be a sweetheart and can get playful at times. He'll give you love nibbles and do figure 8's through your legs to show his affections and when he feels super affectionate, he'll give you head bumps. When he wants treats, you'll know as he'll start asking and eventually demanding treats until he gets a few. I believe he would do well with another pet and children, if trained correctly. The foster family he was with told me he had been around a black lab dog before but I wasn't told how well they got along, so he's been around dogs but I don't know how well he got along with it.

Story
On Easter we came across these two abandoned kittens. We have a lot of stray cats in our neighborhood and they likely came from one of those litters. We do not want to separate these kittens since they seems very bonded. They are around 3/4 weeks old and we are able to keep them for a few weeks until they are able to start eating normal food. They are super sweet and cuddly and we are currently working on training them to use the litter box. We already have 4 dogs and I am also mildly allergic to cats so even though they are extremely adorable, we are unable to keep them. They have been growing by the day and are getting the hang of eating from a bottle. We think the grey one might be a boy and the black may be a girl, but they are so small that it’s hard to tell. We are unsure of the breed because they were found so I gave my best guess
