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.

Story
*NEEDS TO GO IN A HOME WITH NO OTHER PETS This cat is my best friend and I love her so dearly. She is sassy and mischievous and cuddly but lets you know when she has had enough and where she accepts pets! She loves to play with fish-pole cat toys and snuggle at night next to you. She NEEDS a clean litter box. Please clean it everyday for her if you adopt her. She prefers something she can move around, a finer grit than something like pellets. If you gave other pets, she will mark her territory on the floor/bed. If the litter box isnt clean, she will mark her territory as well to let you know she is unhappy. I will be picky about the home she goes to because I care so much about her

Kitten brothers found together locally. ~5-6 months. I’d like them to go together ideally. $200 together, or $150 each. Need to get neutered/shots up to date. Litter box trained. If both go together, I am also willing to throw in an approximately 4 foot cat tree.

Hi, I’m looking to rehome my cat. I adopted her with my husband and we are getting divorced so I can’t take care of her on my own. She is 2 years old and loves to cuddle. I think she would thrive in a family home. It’s hard having her with just me. I travel too often to take care of her

Or, how about these American Shorthairs in cities near Phoenix, Arizona

These American Shorthairs are available for adoption close to Phoenix, Arizona.

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..

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
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
Hi my name is Pawcasso! I was born in January of 2020 (best estimate). I’m a sweet sweet boy who is very chill and one of my favorite things to do is to cuddle and sleep next to my human. I was found as a stray and am now enjoying the good indoor life - I love pets and love to eat canned wet food and treats. I am not fond of other cats so will need to be the only cat in the house. When my foster mom brought me home, she had to initially be careful to keep an eye on me while going in and out of the house as I would express interest to go outside - however once I adapted to my foster home I became comfortable with the indoor life. I’m up to date on vaccines including rabies, tested negative for FELV/FIV, dewormed, neutered and microchipped. My adoption fee is $80.March 8, 2025, 6:59 pm

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!

Story
Pancha is a very sweet girl, she does need some time and space to acclimate to her new home. She will hide under the bed or couch but she will venture out. She is currently at my mom's neighbor's house until she gets spayed 2/5/2025. She would likely do best in a quiet calm home. I am re- homing her because I got her and another male cat from a sanctuary in which I was told they were a bonded pair, and that they were spayed and neutered. Once I got them home I discovered the boy was not neutered. I immediately separated them hence she is being fostered. I took her to the vet and found out she wasn't spayed and had an ear infection. We treated it. I don't believe the cats lived together. I have been overwhelmed with them and the separation and vet appointments and hurrying to get them spayed/neutered. I believe she was uncomfortable with the boy as there was no slow introduction, she never fought or hissed at him though.

These pups are in Phoenix, Arizona too!

Story
If you've ever wanted to own a mini Panther, here is your chance. Dexter is a goofy lovable boy. He is very playful and loves everyone and everything he meets. Although he hasn't met a dog, i suspect he would get along. He is a master biscuit maker and purrs loudly. When he is not playing, he seeks attention and always wants to know what you're doing. Dexter would do best in a home with other furry playmates (possibly his sister DeeDee?) Come and meet beautiful Dexter. You will not be disappointed. Dexter’s adoption fee of $175 includes a microchip, vaccinations, and neuter surgery. If you would like to set up a Meet & Greet and be considered for adoption, please click on the button with the pet’s name to fill out an application. Someone will contact you within 24 hours. If you have difficulty with the application, please email us at Rescue@AnthemPets.org. NOTE: Only Arizona based adoption inquiries will be considered. Anthem Pets Website: www.anthempets.org
