Story
As they say in the cartoons, `I tawt I taw a puddy tat!` And it`s twue, you did! My name is Puddy, and I am the pwettiest puddy tat you ever taw. All jokes aside, I`m hoping to find a furever home that I can share with you and your other feline fwend(s). I love other cats, especially if they`re on the chill side. This particular petite puddy can be a little shy, but other kitties help me feel more at home. Besides, it`s always better to cuddle up and nap with a buddy than it is to nap alone, don`t you agree?I love to spend my time bird watching from the window or people watching from the back of the couch. If you`d like to join me on that couch with a brush, I would love that even more! I need a little help keeping this pwetty fur in perfect shape, but luckily, brushing is my favorite thing. I`ll occasionally chase a toy mouse or that pesky little red dot (one day I`ll catch it!), but mostly I like to spend a quiet day at home with a soft bwanket. And what about that lisp, you ask? It`s true, I am missing a few teeth, but I don`t let that hold me back! Just give me some wet food (fish flavors are the best flavors) and some extra time with that brush, and we`ll have no twouble understanding each other. So, how about it? Does your home have room for another puddy tat? If you`d like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website – http://www.animalalliesrescue.org/adoption-application – and choose me, Puddy! My adoption fee is $100 and AARF wants me to tell you that their adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare kitties like me for our forever homes. By the time you meet us, we’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. We’ve been checked by a veterinarian, and we’re up to date on age-appropriate immunizations against rabies and FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus & panleukopenia). Some of us have had extensive surgeries, dental work, or other necessary procedures. AARF is committed to getting all of us entirely ready for a happy, healthy, love-filled life!

Story
??Everyone poops??Dogs. Cats. Heck, we bet that even *YOU* poop (gasp!!!). So really, you won`t be surprised when we tell you that Freedom here - he poops. At four years old, tiny Free Free has gone through a lot of shi...stuff. Found as a kitten with burrs covering his whole behind, he had difficulty using the litterbox before he was diagnosed with a rectal stricture (in scientific terms, his poop chute didn`t operate properly). After months of surgical procedures, the stricture was resolved successfully! But Freedom isn`t exactly `regular`: he uses the litterbox, but inevitably he leaks a little. From the butt. ***Before we share more about this Lil` Turd`s little turds, let`s tell you a little bit about **him**, and why he`s a delight and purrfect companion. No bull??.??Freedom is an affectionate, petite cat at only 5lb (fully grown!). ??He loves kissing people and snuggling with dogs (his purrrrfect home will have a dog to play with!). ??Fun with feather toys and other games, food, and chin scratches are all on the menu when you hang out with Free Free. ***So what kind of care does Freedom need? ??Despite his poopy problem, Freedom is well litterbox trained (he`s never urinated outside the litterbox, and his major stools all go there without problem). ??From a care perspective, his Foster mom uses a quick wet wipe on him twice daily (along with a weekly bath which he takes like a champ!) to keep him cleaner than a Charmin Bear`s bum. ??Freedom wears a diaper when he`s wandering outside of his room - and let`s be real, that`s ADORABLE. ??He takes probiotics and special food to help manage his stool. Freedom also has asymptomatic Feline Coronavirus, which means he will need to be the only cat in the household, but does not currently require any care or treatment for the condition. ***We know it will take a special someone to adopt a cat with an anal anomaly. But Freedom is, ultimately, a perfect cat. He`s playful, cuddly, and loves everyone - he`s special in the truest sense of the word. As his Foster said, she`d be happy to have him live in her office with her forever, but he deserves a chance at a real home. And it`s our job to help him find one.??Everyone poops?? BUTT... only one very special someone will get to take Freedom home.

Story
My name is Biscuit. Yes, I’m adorable, I know. I’ve been with AARF for most of my life. I love my foster family, but I know my forever family is out there somewhere.I do like attention from people. I’m slow to warm up and I won’t come to you, but I can be held and I enjoy scratchies. What I really love is cats! Lots of cats. I don’t like to be alone. I want a few kitty siblings to hang out with. I’m pretty mellow so no crazy kittens for me. I like to bat around toys and I only eat wet food. I’m really sweet. I promise. Someone just needs to give me a chance. If you`d like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website – https://animalalliesrescue.org/adopt/ – and choose me, Biscuit! My adoption fee is $150 and AARF wants me to tell you that my adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare kitties like me for our forever homes.

Story
Hello, all! My name is Kirk and I’m very pleased to meet you. The first thing you will notice about me is my beautiful black coat and perfectly bushy tail. If you’ve got it, flaunt it! But there is more to me than my good looks. Let me tell you more about me.I`m looking for a loving forever home. I am very playful and curious and use my litterbox like a champ. I will keep you laughing with my funny antics! I love to lay on radiators and head-butt other cats. My squeaky ball and cat dancer are my favorite toys. I also like to chat - I have a lot to say!However, I am still a bit shy and unsure. I don’t like sudden loud noises, like the vacuum cleaner or ice maker. I’m not a big fan of being picked up or held and shouldn’t go to a home with young children. I need a patient and experienced adopter, but I am absolutely worth it!If you`d like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website– https://animalalliesrescue.org/adopt/ – and choose me, Kirk!

Story
Have you ever found yourself sitting on top of your cat tree and thinking, `everything the light touches...is my kingdom`? No? Maybe that`s just me. My name is Simba, and I am ready to take my rightful place as king (of your house).Don`t worry, though. I`m not some sort of spoiled royal with an attitude. I might take a little while to warm up to you when you take me home, but after a few days I`ll be ready for snuggles. And chin scratches. By kingly decree, I do demand daily chin scratches. I love to play with my toys, and the ribbon toys are my favorite (so that way you can join in too)! And once playtime is over, I`m happy to monitor my kingdom from the top of the cat tree or sit next to a window so I can look at the birds. It`s always good to keep an eye on the outside avian subjects -- who knows what they might be up to.As long as we`re slowly and properly introduced, I`m happy to share my kingdom with any other cats you might have. But if you want me as your one and only cat, I`m fine with that too. Either way, you can show your love and appreciation for my benevolent rule by petting my fur (I keep it super soft!) and providing me with food. Because food is AWESOME. I`m on a prescription diet -- it`s one of my few kingly demands. Everyone knows the lion is the king of the jungle, but you can`t have one of those in the house. You can take me home instead! And then we can live happily ever after.If you`d like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website – https://animalalliesrescue.org/cat-application – and choose me, Simba! My adoption fee is $150 and AARF wants me to tell you that their adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare kitties like me for our forever homes.

Story
Easy on the eyes and a tad bit shy, I’m a sweet young boy whose star is on the rise. Popular among my peers, I’m a super fun playmate and love hanging out with my foster siblings. I’m definitely a cat person! Humans are super cool too, it just takes a little longer to get to know them. When I want to unwind and have some “me time,” I enjoy sitting on the windowsill and taking in the fresh air. Other simple pleasures include jumping in my cat tree, cat toys, and wet food. I’m ready to find my forever family, one with other cats and kind humans who will take the time to know me and love me. If you`d like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website– www.animalalliesrescue.org/adoption-application – and choose me, Snow!

Story
Life’s been good to me so far. I hit the jackpot with my first family and was loved and appreciated by them for many years. Unfortunately, my human passed away, which is how I ended up in rescue. While I’m grateful for my foster family, I yearn for a permanent place. My speed and vibe at this stage and age is calm, relaxed, sweet, and friendly, and I’m looking for a peaceful home where I can unwind and chill. This means I’ll do best in a home without dogs or small children. I get along well with humans and other cats, and enjoy affection and attention. Like other cats my age, I have a few easily treatable health conditions (asthma, IBD and pancreatic flares) which are managed well by medications. I’m an old pro at taking my meds, so you won’t have any trouble medicating me - I’ll make it easy on the both of us! If you`d like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website – https://animalalliesrescue.org/cat-application – and choose me, Wolfie! My adoption fee is $50 and AARF wants me to tell you that their adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare kitties like me for our forever homes. By the time you meet us, we’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped.

I got nyx from pet smart, at the age of 1 years old. He is very nice cat to humans, rarely scratches people and kids. Is a very lovable and cuddly cat. Like to play and definitely like to eat. He is pretty clean and naps a lot. It would help a lot to rehome nyx so he could be in better care and a better environment that fits him. He is at risk of being put out on the streets.

Story
Professor socks was born in March 2021 he’s 3 years old he is incredibly social and likes to play with dogs. Because he has FIV, he hasn’t been raised with other cats but feel free to properly introduce him to kittens. He’s very loving in his own way he loves to sleep under the covers and likes being held his personality is like a sour patch kid so he gets overstimulated very quickly so he will bite you as a way of saying stop He is obsessed with lasers! He is a large cat compare to others. I would want him to find a home where his sour patch kid personality and boundaries are respected and understood (: An FIV infected cat can spread the virus to other CATS ONLY through hard bites where the saliva enters the bloodstream of the other cat, but FIV cats can also live along side non FIV cats without issue if the cats get along. You may want to call your vet to discuss any concerns you may have about FIV or google more information but they can live long healthy lives.
