Story
Sugar is a very nice and friendly 8 yr old cat. She likes to cuddle, play and be part of the conversation. She is a good cat that does not run and hide when guests arrive. She greets them with attention. Sugar was my wife's dearest buddy. Recently, I put my wife in a memory care home to take care of her needs and in turn left Sugar needing a replacement friend that keeps her company. I make frequent trips making it hard to give her the attention and love she needs. Sugar has a sensitive stomach and is fed hypoallergenic Rabbit food. Sugar is up to date with all vet required care including annual teeth descaling/cleaning. At the time of adoption, Sugar's belongings will be given - litter box, car carrier, cat tree, and remaining food.

Story
Rocky just turned 7! He is very laid back and would be the perfect companion for an adult owner or couple. He enjoys napping in different spots throughout the day. He likes to explore and see what is behind every door. He would be happy in a home where he is the only pet, as he does not get along with other cats/dogs. GREAT bug hunter! He is up to date on all of his shots, neutered and microchipped.

Story
Blue is a non declawed, playful, neutered, short haired beautiful gray kitty. He is about 2 years old. He has had recently been vaccinated at the spay/neauter clinic. He was one of 5 cats put outside by an elderly neighbors daughter. I adopted 2 and found a home for one. This one I caught and had neutered. I have 4 cats and this one I call Blue. Is bossing my shy female too much. He gets along with my other ones but he is an alpha male. I am requiring that he b microchipped and inside only, Blue trills like a raccoon when you feed him and has a quiet meow, he loves getting his toys and loves being petted. He is a confident feline and loves looking out the screened porch from his tower perch.

Story
Ebony is a 3 1/2 year old spayed female rescue kitty. When we adopted her almost two years ago the shelter had only received her and had no prior information about her. She was the first cat into our new home, where dogs had once lived. She was very timid and would not come near us at first. We adopted a kitten to be her pal within a few months which helped. She now is very motherly towards the kittens we foster. She is very playful yet still timid, will allow pets on her terms, loves to be brushed. Ebony has a special diet due to food allergies. The biggest issue is she sometimes will not use the litter box. We have taken her to the veterinarian, there is nothing medically wrong with her. She will cling to one person and will meow at that person to demand pets and brushes. Ebony is a beautiful cat, please come meet her and see if you are her next best friend.

Story
Toulouse is a beautiful big tom cat! He is four years old (born November 2020), and we adopted him through Paws Patrol as a kitten as part of a bonded pair. However, he and his sister are no longer bonded. He’s a large cat, but he’s a huge softie. He will happily sit on your lap, and he loves belly rubs and chin scratches. If you want a cuddly cat, he’s the best. He loves to play, and he’ll sleep just about anywhere—but he loves to snuggle under a blanket! He is a bit of a scaredy cat—he is terrified of trash bags and will run away when you take them out! Toulouse has a bit of a territorial streak, so he may not do well with other animals. He would do amazingly in a home with older children that could give him the attention and affection he needs.

Story
Meet Leopold – The Striped Sweetheart Ready for the Good Life!  With my bold tiger stripes it’s no surprise I was named Leopold—I may not be a leopard, but I sure have the fierce and handsome look of one! But don’t let my wild appearance fool you—I'm all about cozy cuddles and indoor luxury. I was born in the desert and lived in a well-cared-for cat colony in Sonoita, where the amazing folks at Paws Patrol were helping our human caretaker trap, neuter, and return my feline family to keep us safe. When they trapped me, I had a little secret to share… this whole “outdoor desert life” is way overrated! Hot sand, rough nights, and no fluffy beds? No, thank you! The moment I realized there were soft blankets, endless food, and loving humans inside, I knew I was meant for the indoor kitty life.  What Makes Me Special:I’m a total people cat—I love attention, head scratches, and cozying up with my favorite humans. Snuggles? Yes, please! So what do you say? Come meet me and see if we’re the perfect match! Trust me—the great indoors is where it’s at!  ##2302551##

Story
I’m a sweet orange boy who loves belly rubs. I’m quick to purr and make lots of biscuits for you. My brother Oscar and I were living outside in Nogales in well-cared-for cat colony until the nice folks from Paws Patrol decided we deserved a better life. I’m still a little shy and can spook easily, but I like people! With the right human family, myself and my brother Oscar, we will be an awesome addition to your home! My foster mom plays with us every day, and we are so happy to be out of the desert. My handsome brother is a bit more introverted than I am, but his good looks make up for it. It’s important that we stay together because together we find our kitty mojo! All we need is a little more time, patience, and lots of love. Please fill out an adoption application so that you can come meet us! ##2287198##

Story
Well, here I am all dressed up and nowhere to go! My name is Tux and not very long ago I was living outside in Sahuarita. One day something scared me so much that I wanted inside the house and never went outside again! Everything would have been great but the other cats and I just could not get along. Something about it being their territory. Anyway, I was brought to Paws Patrol and things have been swell! I get to meet everyone who comes into the adoption room, watch cat videos, nap in the sun, and even made friends with a fellow feline. It's not too bad here but my hope is that I will find my forever home soon. I promise that I am a very sweet boy, who loves lots of attention, and will make the very best companion. So what do you say, wanna stop by Paws Patrol and meet me? I hope to see you soon. Just look for the best dressed boy in the room! ##2317516##

Story
Andorra, named because Andorra (the country) is merely a spot on the map and he has a spot! He was born on 10/10/2024. He is adventurous, likes to play with his siblings, and is independent. We are moving overseas and can't take him, or the rest of them, with us. (There are more!) Mom, Dad, and sister! He's a cutie! The pictures are recent. He did run out of the house and didn't make it back for 3 weeks, so he is a tough COOKIE! He successfully evaded coyotes, et. al., for 22 days!! Now, he is VERY happy to stay inside! He is much more cuddly, friendly, and can be picked up and pet. :D He is litter box trained but we couldn't get him in the box when it was time for neutering and shots (prior escape). He will come with a chip, some toys and any other accessories we still have that you may want for him. Ask any questions!! Twin Peaks and I-10 area.

Story
Looking for a good home for this sweetheart. She is about seven years old. She is the most loving, cuddly cat you will ever meet. She wants nothing more than to watch movies with you on the couch or cuddle up next to you in bed all night. She has problems using the litter box, which is why we are needing to find a new home for her-we do not have the time to dedicate the attention that's needed. She marks the walls around her litter box, and it has gotten worse since moving into a bigger house. She has done well in the past in a smaller home/apartment, and when messes can get noticed and cleaned up immediately. She would do best in a home with no other cats and would likely do well with older children. She has coexisted with our large dog just fine and would likely do fine with a smaller dog as well. She'll come with everything she needs. We would really like to find a loving home for her that can give her the love, care, and attention that she deserves. She has SO much love to give!

Story
Tukkie is a senior sweetie. I’ve had her since 9years, she’s now approaching 16!! She loves to snuggle, comes to you like a dog when you get home, and particularly enjoys field trips outside as she was formerly an indoor/outdoor cat. She gets occasional UTIs and has typical senior vibes; we are treating GI stuff at the moment that should be resolved by the time she’s adopted, though at 16 she may require ongoing care. I’m rehoming her because I’m about to start travel nursing and roadtripping is NOT the lifestyle for her. I moved her across the country once and she hated it! She prefers not to travel. Some have suggested euthanasia instead of rehoming due to her age, but I’m not ready for that. Please adopt this senior 🫶🏼 She deserves to live out her final months or years in a loving and stable home. She will come with her carrier, favorite lounge pillow, fancy water filtering fountain, litter box, and food.
