Story
Simi rescued and hand fed at birth. he is loving and love kids! The red male, Sim Sim looked like a sesame seed when he was a baby, hence his name. He is gentle and will let you know when he is hungry with a loud meow! Sim would love to be indoor/outdoor but we have not let him - he has been only indoor. He would prefer to be the only pet. He gets along with our small dog and other cats but he isolates mostly. We hate to part but living arrangements have changed. We are so sad! They were born on Easter Sunday 2018.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Prince is a orange tabby with a handsome coat and face.  He is approximately 5-7 years old. He has lived in a shelter  for a number of years after his owner passed away.  Prince is a very cautious guy around new humans but loves the company of other cats. He has come a long way since first arriving at the shelter. He enjoys being brushed, rubbed with scatcher, and petted on his back. He loves Fancy Feast too! Prince would be consider a "socially awkward cat".  What is a socially awkward cat?  Some cats are shy, timid, or fearful of people and other cats. They may hide, avoid, or even lash out when approached by strangers. These cats are not mean or unlovable; they are just socially awkward and need extra time and patience to trust and bond with their human companions. They may never become affectionate lap cats, but they have their own unique ways of showing love and appreciation. If you are looking for a cat who will challenge you, surprise you, and reward you with loyalty and devotion, then you might be the perfect match for one of our socially awkward cats.   Because these cats require more patience and understanding than most, we have a few special policies regarding them:   We will ask more questions about your home environment, other pets, children, and other details to make sure you are the right match for the cat. Please don't be discouraged if you are not the right fit! We have many other cats, and one of them is sure to be a fit. We typically arrange video meet-and-greets for these cats for the initial contact. Most of these cats get stressed out by new situations, and allowing them to be seen without that stress trigger makes for a better experience for everyone. We may discount the adoption fees for these cats. Our first priority is to find the right match between cat and human, and we realize that these kitties may take more time than most to settle in and determine compatibility.   If you think you may be the right fit for Prince or another one of our socially awkward cats, please fill out an interest form today!  Prince has become bonded to his bestie Bourbon - they do everything together and help each other navigate the scariness of the world together!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.    Our adoption fee is $175       If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Cat Interest Form on AZRAIN.ORG and, if you are selected as a prospective adopter, we will contact you to set up a meet and greet. Thank you for considering rescuing an animal in need!     November 15, 2024, 9:59 am

Story
Simon is a 2 year old orange tabby. Simon is very playful and looks to interact. He has a sister he has been with since birth. Her name is Margo she is a black and brown tortoise shell. They are littermates, and I would prefer they are not separated. These two are the most loving cats I personally have ever been around. They both love unconditionally and never once have they bitten me (owner for last almost 2 years), they both love to snuggle and "make biscuits" whenever they get the chance. They both use their scratching posts/pads and haven't damaged any of the furniture. Margo does really well with little children and will let them hold her for long periods of time. They have many toys and items that are available to anyone who takes them.

Story
Hi my name is venus ! I love to nap, good back scratches and eating. Although you might not see me for the whole day while I nap and loud noises or even not so loud ones can be very scary to me, I know company is always needed and a good cuddle. I was taken in during a terrible storm one day and have been the best cat ever since but my family is going through a loss right now and due to life circumstances they have to move away and cant keep me. I am looking for a warm home filled with lots of love...

Story
Larry is a loving young cat. He likes to have his head scratched and he is very active. Larry is fast and likes to go outside. Because of my recent knee surgery I move slowly to he runs outside but he always returns The rv park I live in does not want pets to be outside. This is why I have to let him go. I can't keep up with him anymore.

Story
This 2 year old big boy was rescued from the trash. He takes a while to warm up and can be timid initially but once he is comfortable he will chat your ear off. He isn't a lap cat, but he does love snuggling in bed, on his terms, of course. He does really well with male cats but can be kind of a jerk to female cats if they are more passive. Food is the most important thing and this boy loves his snacks, that is why he tips the scales at around 15lbs.

Rescued cats need new home Meet Laverne and Shirley. I have been taking care of these cuties for a couple of years now, ever since they were abandoned by their owners, who used to be my neighbors. The landlord does not allow pets, and I never intended to have pets, so I am looking for a new home for them. They are sisters, about five years old. They are very tame, house-trained and like human contact. They can be good with other cats and kids, once they are acclimated. From what I have observed, they are calm around dogs as long as the dogs are calm around them. They have both been spayed and vaccinated for rabies and FVRCP. It would be nice if they were adopted together, but what is most important is that the find new homes.
