Story
Hi! My name is Ellie, born approx. 4/25/22.  I’m a beautiful female white and grey tabby, with the softest short coat. I am up to date on all my shots and spayed. I can be a little timid at first but I will warm right up to you with some treats! I am a secret snuggler and don’t like to be approached too fast, but I will definitely be sleeping at your feet every night. I love my kitty siblings, and I would do best in a house with no dogs or older dogs that aren’t too rambunctious with a slow introduction. I am very playful and I love my mice toys, I’ll throw them around in the air and catch them! Ellie is ready for her forever loving home. Could it be you? My adoption fee is $140November 21, 2024, 12:38 am

Story
Gato was born approximately 3/15/23. He is very shy but very sweet. He was raised in a house with older and younger cats, and he loves to play with them. He is a wonderful companion cat, and he loves to snuggle with his resident cats and follow his humans and cat friends around the house. When visitors come to the house, he disappears. He loves to sleep at the foot of his human’s bed. He was raised in a house with a 4-year-old, and Gato let her pet him; she was the first human he warmed up to. He likes to lay next to his human mommy while she is working in her office, and when his human daddy is watching TV, he likes to jump up on the couch and lay next to him. He purrs when he gets pets. When he first gets to his new house, he may be scared and hide, but give him some time, and he will be a loving and loyal kitten. It took him a month at his foster family’s house to let them pet him, and two months to start snuggling next to them on the couch and sleeping at night on their bed. When he first arrived at his foster family’s house, he immediately made friends with the other cats and liked to follow his humans around. Gato is up to date on vaccines including rabies, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, microchipped and neutered. His adoption fee is $140.  November 5, 2024, 10:32 am

Story
Goya is a beautiful tabby and white kitty who is about 5 years old.  Goya came into the rescue from a hoarding situation where he and over 100 other cats were all living in a single-family residence. He had been living in this situation for a number of years, possibly since he was a kitten.  He was malnourished and under-socialized when he came into the rescue.  With care and patience, he has attained the appropriate weight and learned to accept love and pets, although he still is a little shy.  Goya does have a playful side, and after he is comfortable in his environment, he enjoys playing with wand toys and other kitty toys. Changes in environment are scary to him, so upon his arrival in a new home he will need patience and gentleness while he acclimates and grows to understand that he will be safe and cared for. Once he feels safe and comfortable he is a lap kitty.  He does well with other cats after a proper introduction, but it is unknown how he does with dogs. Because of his difficult life experiences, he may not be a good fit in a home with very small children. This fellow has had a hard life and is looking for someone with patience and understanding that will keep him safe and love him for the rest of his life, and in return he will give you his heart.   His adoption fee is $80.November 5, 2024, 10:32 am

Please copy this link to schedule your appointment for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. https://foothillsanimalrescue.as.me/schedule/e47d5799Hi there! I`m Poppy, a sophisticated adult lady cat with a flair for independence and a taste for adventure. I`ve been told I have a regal demeanor, and I think that’s a fair description. I’m not the type to cling to your side all day, but I promise you’ll always find me in the best spots of the house—whether it`s perched high up where I can survey my domain or curled up in a sunny window nook.I get along well with my fellow feline friends and have a soft spot for playful toys, especially those that I can pounce on or bat around. My idea of a perfect day involves a mix of lounging in high places, observing the world from my window perch, and indulging in some fun playtime.If you’re looking for a cat who can appreciate a good solo moment but still enjoys the company of other cats and the occasional human interaction, I might just be the purrfect match for you.

Louie and Lillian are sweet and shy kitties looking for a place to call home. They came to HALO with a mom from a feral colony and have took some time to come around. Once they do, they are very playful and social kitties who love to meet new kitties. They did meet a large dog at home, but she was a bit too excitable for them. With a slow intro and some nice snacks, they`re sure to come around. Could this little pair be the ones for you? Come meet them today!

Fasten your seatbelts and meet Jett, the Tuxedo kitty ready to take flight on her journey from outdoor life to first-class indoor living! As a former TNR cat, Jett is still adjusting to her new surroundings and will need some time on the runway before she’s ready for takeoff. She’s a little under-socialized, preferring to hide and avoid interaction, often taking off like a jet when pressured. HALO recommends starting her in a small, enclosed space to help her feel secure and gradually warm up to her new home. With patience and a gentle approach, Jett will soon soar to new heights as a loving companion. For more info, call HALO—we’re here to help navigate her flight path to a happy home!I am bonded to my sister Joan and we must go home together.

Story
Meet Joan, the Tuxedo cat with a flair for mystery and elegance! Like a classic heroine from a noir film, Joan’s journey from TNR life to indoor living has given her a bit of an elusive charm. She’s still finding her comfort zone and prefers a quieter, low-key environment to let her true personality shine. Joan tends to keep to the shadows, hiding when things get a bit too loud and bolting when the spotlight is on her. Introduce her to a small, cozy space first, and with patience and understanding, she’ll transform into your purrfect leading lady. To learn more about this captivating kitty, call HALO—we’re here to help Joan make her big debut!I am bonded to my sister Jett and we must go home together.

Story
ABOUT ME: Meet Twix! If you are looking for a super cuddly, super affectionate, ultimate lap kitty, then Twix is your guy. He is INCREDIBLY loving and affectionate (which fair warning, might be overwhelming for some). He likes sleeping cuddled up in the arms of his human companions and doesn’t leave their side all night long. He loves to nuzzle his head into the neck of his human friends and serenade them with his soothing purrs. It truly is the most magical feeling. As soon as he sees his human friends, he instantly starts purring and runs to them to shower them with love. I call Twix the head of the “love committee.” He LOVES being around people and gets incredibly excited when he sees his human friends. He greets us by giving us endless head bumps to greet us, the cutest little kitten kisses, and endless biscuits. When he gets lonely, he will start meowing and looking for you around the house. Just meow back and he will run right up to you! Twix is super social, and gets along great with humans, cats, and dogs. He grew up with a senior cat and 3 younger cats, aka a supportive crew who showed him the ropes of how to be a cat. He even had a 2 year old Golden Retriever to play and cuddle with. Twix is a very special kitten, so we are looking for the perfect match for him. We will only adopt him to a family that has another cat at home or who is willing to adopt both Twix and his twin brother Snickers. ADOPTION PROCESS: If you are interested in adopting Twix, please call or text 703-909-1779 to find out if he is still available for adoption. If so, then you can set up a time to come meet him in person! Twix is neutered, dewormed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and cleared for adoption by a vet!

Story
Nala is a 14 year old sweetie in need on a new home. I adopted her while I was in college, but left her with my parents at the home in Scottsdale when my significant other and I moved to Seattle. My parents have a variety of health issues and feel as though they can’t have the cat in their home any longer. Nala is spayed and she still has her front and rear claws intentionally in case she ever got out of the house in the desert. She has been an indoor cat her whole life and is litter box trained and doesn’t get into much mischief other than hunting for little bugs and lizards. She’s known to snuggle up with her owns and hang with them while they are in bed. She likes having the facet turned on so she can paw at the water.

Story
Scotty and Diana have been hanging out in one of my grandmas spare rooms since we trapped them back in mid December. Due to unforeseen circumstances, they need to be out by the 1st of February!!! We need a long-term foster, and QUICK!! Have a spare bedroom for these easy keepers? Litter box trained, no spraying or marking and both are altered! Everything you need will be provided, food, litter, veterinary, EVERYTHING! They're both former ferals, so they take some time to warm up. My grandma is now able to pet Scotty Diana takes a little longer to warm up, but was rubbing against my Grandma's leg by the 3rd week! Home check required
