Story
Sonja is a kitty I rescued, she has been inside with me since she was attacked by a dog in August '22. She is FIV+, which just means she needs to be indoors and well cared for. She is a sweet, smart, feisty girl, with a unique look. She loves being combed, playing with wand toys, horizontal scratchers are LIFE for her. She likes to sing the song of her people sometimes but I think it is because she is lonely, I have 3 resident cats and work long hours so I can’t be with her as much I she needs.

Story
Rescued cats need new home Meet Laverne and Shirley. I have been taking care of these cuties for a couple of years now, ever since they were abandoned by their owners, who used to be my neighbors. The landlord does not allow pets, and I never intended to have pets, so I am looking for a new home for them. They are sisters, about five years old. They are very tame, house-trained and like human contact. They can be good with other cats and kids, once they are acclimated. From what I have observed, they are calm around dogs as long as the dogs are calm around them. They have both been spayed and vaccinated for rabies and FVRCP. It would be nice if they were adopted together, but what is most important is that the find new homes.

Story
In search of a home for my playful and affectionate 4.5 year old tortoiseshell, Penelope. She is very social and friendly with adults. Overall a healthy cat, though a little on the chunky side. She also does have a habit of chewing plastic grocery bags when left in her reach. The reason we are rehoming is because we have a toddler that loves our cat in a not so gentle way. We have tried working with her to be more gentle with the cat, and our many attempts have not helped. Penelope has scratched our daughter many times when she is provoked in this way. We are not asking for any payment, we just want her to have a good home, one without small children where she can relax and be herself.

Get ready for the greatest love of your life!!! Please learn more about us and our available pets at Robin Hood Animal Rescue.In Fancy's words:  “My brother, Grayson and I were care for by a kind lady who rescued us from a life outside. I tend to feel more comfortable with other boy cats. I miss my brother who has his new family. I am happy for him, but I still miss him. I am quite playful, with lots and lots of energy! I am very affectionate with people and may be a good match for a family with OLDER children to keep me busy. I have to admit that I like to knock things off counters to get attention. I am okay with most dogs, as long as they won't chase me.”   As with all our foster cats/kittens, Fancy has been altered, microchipped, and has been tested for FIV and feline leukemia. Please e-mail Shelley at s_stelmach@yahoo.com  or text or call Bob at (623) 680-1170 for more information on this cutie.  March 7, 2024: THE ADOPTION FEE FOR DOGS/PUPPIES VARIES GIVEN AGE, BREED, ETC..

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 awkard 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!  back to topVisit 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!     October 3, 2024, 2:10 pm

Story
I adopted Bella when she was 7 weeks old, she's almost 5 years old now. She's very sweet and while she may be shy at first, she loves pets and likes to cuddle. Her purring will let you know you're doing everything right. She is also playful and knows how to look cute. She's never been aggressive towards me or any humans, and never really been around dogs. Her and her brother Binx do some play fighting, but it's all love at the end of the day. She's spayed and has all of her claws. I'd prefer if she stays with her brother Binx, they've kept each other company their whole lives. Feel free to reach out for any questions!

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.
