Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Pleased to meet you, I'm Vaughn. I'm a friendly, easygoing cat who enjoys watching the birds from a cat tree or your lap. I love to play with the sparkle wand and catnip is pretty cool! I am affectionate and will greet you when you enter the room. I will roll on my back and purr loudly when you pet me. I don't mind it if you pick me up or hold me - I love the attention! I get along really well with my roommate, Silver Surfer, so if you're looking for two chill kitties, please saunter over to the adoption center to hang out with us!
Please go to our website (www.azfriends.org) to fill out a consultation form then come and see me! We do require any family interested in meeting our cats to fill out a consultation form - this form helps us determine if the cat and the home are a good match, since it is so easy to fall in love with a photo without knowing the personality of the cat. Once you have filled out the online Adoption Consultation Form, just come in and see me (or come and see me and fill out the consultation form upon arrival)!
Please note that ALL cats are available to the first potential adopter who we feel is a good match, after meeting the cat.
Our adoption center hours are: Closed Sunday/Monday; Tuesday 10a - 2p, Wednesday 3p - 7p, Thursday 3p - 7p, Friday 10a - 2p, Saturday 10a - 4p. We are located at 952 W Melody Avenue in Gilbert (zip code 85233).All animals are altered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, licensed (dogs). Cats tested for FELV/FIV. Dogs tested for Heartworm. All animals are available to the first family that is a good match, and if we have more than one animal who is a good match, there will be a lottery for all matches. Note that families must have come in to our adoption center and spoken with an adoption counselor prior to any lottery (when we have lotteries, they usually occur on Saturday mornings).

No appointments necessary, just come and see us. For animals in foster homes, adoption counselors will provide additional information.

Meet the Pet

We require intros with all family members and dogs (if adopting a dog), then if all goes well and it's a good match we'll move forward!
4.
Take the Pet Home
Contract is signed, everyone has met, and the dog or cat goes home!
Additional adoption info
All potential adoptive homes must complete the adoption consultation form. All adoptive parents must agree to terms of the adoption contract which will be reviewed at the time of adoption. Dog adoptions are typically $350-$495 (depending on age, breed, etc) and cat adoptions start at $175.00 for adults and $225 for kittens (also depend on age). Senior animals are always lower adoption fees. All animals have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Cats have also been FeLV/FIV tested. Dogs are also licensed per county law.
Many of our dogs are adopted very quickly, so if you see someone you are interested in, come on down - don't wait for an email response! Since an animal's personality is so much more than a photo, we prefer to give detailed info in person. Note that for any dog or cat that will have more than one family interested when they are ready for adoption, we will hold a lottery BUT only those who have spoken with an adoption counselor prior (to ensure a good match for the animal and the family) will be included in the lottery.

We are closed Sunday and Monday. If you see a dog or cat you are interested in, come and talk with one of our adoption counselors. If you choose to email, please allow 24-48 hours for a response as we are all volunteers. Often the animals in our care are adopted quickly, so we would recommend saving time (and possibly missing out) and coming to our adoption center vs. waiting for a response. Unless a family has spoken with an adoption counselor, there isn't much different info that would be shared compared to what is on our website. Plus, we'd love to meet you!
