Story
Rocky just turned 7! He has a laid back personality 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. Did you bring something new into the house? He will need to sniff it. He loves yarn and empty boxes, no need for fancy toys. He would be happy in a home where he is the only pet, as he does not get along with other cats/dogs (he grew up with a cat friend, but it was adopted out after previous owner passed away). He has not been around young children. He does well with older children that know to respect his personal space. He enjoys petting (loud purrs) and he will vocalize when he has had enough (long meow) instead of walking away as other cats do. Sometimes he’ll sit with you for hours enjoying human contact and sometimes he prefers a quiet spot to hide and pass the time. GREAT bug hunter! He is up to date on all of his shots, neutered and microchipped.

I am fostering Leroy, am now planning a move to be with family, and need to re-home her. Her prior human had to go to a home due to dementia. Leroy is affectionate, and sometimes sleeps with me. She knows how to open cupboard doors, and has made her main residence under my bathroom sink. If she seems to be missing, check your cupboards. LOL. I have no idea why she was named Leroy. perhaps they thought she was a boy when she was little.

Hi, this is Amelia. She's very sweet and gentle kitty. She likes being around people and cuddling. She's a little shy at first but once she gets comfortable she just wants to spend every moment with someone. I live alone and already have 3 ferrets. Her staying with me was suppose to be temporary but the person who asked me to watch her has made it clear they have no intention of taking her back. She's very sweet and deserves waaayyy more time and attention I can give her. She gets along pretty well with the ferrets and her previous home had dogs so I believe she would do well with other animals.

Bode has really flourished in his foster home! He used to be shy and scared, but now he loves to play with the other cats and engage with his humans. He enjoys pets and has plenty of energy, so he’d be a perfect match for a home with playful feline friends. He is bonded to his previous housemate, Leon 944974. Check out his before and after photos to see his amazing transformation! If you want to learn more about Bode and Leon, contact our adoptions team at 520-327-6088 ext 173!

Zeke is my name, and I just want to play and be loved. My forever human just passed away, and I need to find a home with someone who truly understands cats. I wouldn't do well with children, but would enjoy a home with humans who are patient and have time to pay attention to me. I love being brushed, and especially need to play. I think playing is my job! If you're cat-savvy and would like to share your heart with me, please come to meet me. My fosters would like that too. ##2011530##

Story
My name is JoJo and my life has been quite the adventure! Paws Patrol rescued me from under a car hood when I was just a month old. Soon enough it was time for me to go to my new home where I would have my very own feline friend! I was excited as a boy could be until I got there. I quickly found out this feline friend and I didn't get along (not my fault!) So, I was brought back to Paws Patrol. I've learned so much about myself - I enjoy playing with a wand toy, snuggles are my love language and I purr the loudest when snoozing with my person. Speaking of people, I become very attached if you are kind and give me a couple scratches, then I will lay it on thick with love and making air biscuits! I can also be shy when meeting strangers and appreciate being introduced slowly when your friends or family visit. My wish would be to find a quiet home with a comfy bed, a feline friend, and someone to love. If you show me attention, I will simply adore you forever. See you soon? ##2074395##

Story
Hi, I’m Raven! Life has thrown me some challenges—I was found on the road with cuts and bruises and a broken back leg. When a kind human spotted me struggling across a road in Green Valley, they scooped me up and took me to Paws Patrol where they made sure I received the best possible medical care. I’m all healed now, with no notable limp. My whiskers have even developed some cool stripes from facial injuries that make me unique and adds to my charm! Despite my rough start, I’m a gentle and loving kitten who thrives on attention. I love to play, chase after toys, and cuddle up in warm laps. I’m a little shy at first but I am curious about the world and eager to explore every nook and cranny. I can’t wait to find my forever home, where I’ll bring joy and purrs to my new family!   ##2135204##

Story
Hi there! I’m Penny, and I’m one fearless little ball of fluff with a big personality and an even bigger heart! At first glance, my coat might remind you of a little coyote, but take a closer look, and you’ll spot some beautiful cheetah-like and calico markings that make me one unique gal. I love a good wand toy session, but my *absolute* favorite way to play is by chasing and wrestling with my brothers, Sheldon and Leonard. They may think they can outsmart me, but I’m always a step ahead! And even though my other litter mates, Edward, Jacob, and Bella, are in a different foster home, I’ll never pass up a chance to hang out with my whole pack. I’m as brave as they come, especially when it comes to making friends. My foster brothers are a bit older and sometimes a little hissy, but that doesn’t faze me one bit! I’ll snuggle right up with them, purring like a motorboat, and make sure they know they’ve got a friend for life. When my foster mom gets jealous of our snuggle sessions, I am happy to shower her with purrs while we cuddle up on the couch. I think she's pretty awesome too!  Everyone who meets me falls in love, just like the Penny you know and love from TV. So, if you’re looking for a snuggly, spirited kitten who will bring laughter, love, and some big purrs into your home, I’m your girl! ##2174542##

Story
Hello, potential adopter! My foster mom has asked me to write an adoption profile, which, frankly, is a bit beneath my intellectual capabilities. However, she insists people might want to know more than just the fact that I am, objectively, much more intelligent than most others—so here we go. According to my foster mom, some of her favorite things about me (besides my brain) are my sweet personality and how I start purring the moment I spot one of my older foster brothers. Apparently, it’s also heartwarming when I snuggle up on her lap and shower her with purrs—although, personally, I find it quite logical to reciprocate her affection. She says I’m incredibly kind to my siblings, and I’ll humbly agree. Oh, and she says I have these “amazing cheetah-like dots” on my belly. My belly spots *are* quite impressive indeed   My favorite toys include wand toys, little balls, and, of course, toy mice. But my ultimate pastime? Wrestling with my siblings—Penny, Leonard, or one of my litter mates who are at a different foster home — Edward, Jacob, and Bella. All 6 of us had a two-week slumber party recently, and it was a blast!  I would love to get adopted with one of my littermates, so if you’re ready to open your heart to not one but two highly adorable, highly intelligent kittens, fill out an adoption application. We cannot wait to meet you! ##2177901##

Story
Meet Lucy, the Long-Limbed Songstress and Playful Explorer! Lucy is a delightful mix of personality, charm, and quirks! With her long, graceful limbs, she sometimes turns playtime into a comedy routine, occasionally tripping over her own feet as she dives into her favorite games. Her playful spirit shines through, especially when she’s “hunting” toys while lying on her back, bringing a smile to anyone who watches her unique style. Lucy’s voice is just as big as her heart. She’s known for her bold “singing” sessions, often trying to match pitch with you when you sing. Her endearing “screams” are her way of chatting with you, and she isn’t shy about letting you know her thoughts. Her curiosity knows no bounds — Lucy loves to inspect fresh groceries, carefully sniffing each new item, and she’s endlessly fascinated by the mysteries of the fridge and closet. With a sensitive tummy, she thrives on a special diet that keeps her feeling her best, and after an active day, she is a snuggler.
