Story
Sonja is a kitty I rescued, she has been inside with me since she was attacked by a dog in August '22. She is FIV+, which just means she needs to be indoors and well cared for. She is a sweet, smart, feisty girl, with a unique look. She loves being combed, playing with wand toys, horizontal scratchers are LIFE for her. She likes to sing the song of her people sometimes but I think it is because she is lonely, I have 3 resident cats and work long hours so I can’t be with her as much I she needs.

Story
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.

Nigella was a friendly neighborhood kitten, too friendly to be an outside cat. I brought her inside, got her spayed and she has been staying in my bathroom since. She is a sweet kitten, she loves to play with kicker toys and would be great as a solo kitty or with another energetic pal. I currently have 4 resident cats, all rescues of course, and I can't keep any more kitties. She is very sweet, cuddly, purry and playful!

Get ready for the greatest love of your life!!! Please learn more about us and our available pets at Robin Hood Animal Rescue.In Fancy's words:  “My brother, Grayson and I were care for by a kind lady who rescued us from a life outside. I tend to feel more comfortable with other boy cats. I miss my brother who has his new family. I am happy for him, but I still miss him. I am quite playful, with lots and lots of energy! I am very affectionate with people and may be a good match for a family with OLDER children to keep me busy. I have to admit that I like to knock things off counters to get attention. I am okay with most dogs, as long as they won't chase me.”  As with all our foster cats/kittens, Fancy has been altered, microchipped, and has been tested for FIV and feline leukemia. Please text or call Shellie at 623.931.7499 for more information this cutie.  March 7, 2024: THE ADOPTION FEE FOR DOGS/PUPPIES VARIES GIVEN AGE, BREED, ETC..

Story
Tiger is 1 of 4 babies mama had. She was a stray we used to feed until one day she had babies and we took her in to tend and foster. All of her babies grew up healthy and everyone has been adopted except tiger. She is very bonded with her mama which is why we are keeping them together. Tiger is very active and loves to play with anything she can find! She also loves cuddling up with anyone but is very shy so she likes to be carried around too. Mama is so nice and caring to her babies and all the cats around her. She is semi feral due to her being outside her whole life, but the time we’ve had her she’s growing accustomed to humans and will come up for treats! She is still getting used to touching but she is very loving to all cats around her and to babies as well. She has a motherly love and will care for the other foster we have brought in.

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
I adopted Bella when she was 7 weeks old, she's almost 5 years old now. She's very sweet and while she may be shy at first, she loves pets and likes to cuddle. Her purring will let you know you're doing everything right. She is also playful and knows how to look cute. She's never been aggressive towards me or any humans, and never really been around dogs. Her and her brother Binx do some play fighting, but it's all love at the end of the day. She's spayed and has all of her claws. I'd prefer if she stays with her brother Binx, they've kept each other company their whole lives. Feel free to reach out for any questions!

LUKE NEEDS A NEW HOME! Rescued male white tabby domestic short hair kitten approximately 4 months old, needs loving forever home. Weight 4 pounds 9 ounces. Kitten was from a litter of a rescued momma that we currently have inside, along with 2 other cats we adopted. Cat has been checked for FIV & FELV and both are negative. A fecal test for parasites was also done and results are all negative for Luke. Cat was scheduled for neutering 12/10/24 but was diagnosed with Cryptorchidism (incomplete dropping of testicles) requiring an additional 3 months to resolve before any surgery can be done. Vaccinations and/or chipping have not been done. Kitten is very friendly, box trained, and will make an excellent pet in almost any home.

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.
