1. Wisp
Adult (8 months) · Male · American Shorthair (short coat) · 12 mi from Anthem







Meet Wisp, a handsome, creamy American Shorthair with a sweet and gentle soul! Wisp is a bit of a shy guy and needs some time to feel comfortable in a new environment. Once he settles in, though, his playful side starts to come out! He enjoys playing with other cats and loves following his favorite human around like a little shadow.
Wisp gets along well with other cats and is happy to enjoy both wet and dry food. He would do best in a quiet, peaceful home without kids or dogs since he's alittle timid.
Wisp isn’t a big fan of being picked up, but he does like scratches and pets. He’ll need a patient person who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let him warm up at his own pace.

Once he feels safe and comfortable, you’ll get to see the sweet little personality hiding underneath that shyness.
If Wisp sounds like the perfect little guy for your home, please contact All About Animals Rescue to learn more about adopting him! Adoption fee: $300.

2. Rosie
Adult (2 years 3 months) · Female · Bengal (short coat) · 12 mi from Anthem




This is a Courtesy Post. Please contact Phil at 602-301-5691 if serious about adopting.
Read more about Rosie
This is Rosie. She is a 2.5 year old brown rosetted Bengal female. She is shy and will need her new people to be patient until she is comfortable with her new surroundings and owners. She likes to play with feathers on a stick, to chase balls, and to climb cat condos. Her mother bit her tail as a kitten so Rosie has a small bump at the base of her tail. This is not a health issue. She is up-to-date on vaccinations. She uses the litter box regularly. She has lived with me and the reason she is because she does not get along with other cats in the home. She would do well as an only cat, but I’m sure that she’d like a friendly companion cat. Adoption fee $700.

9. Ty
Kitten (6 months) · Female · Abyssinian / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Anthem





Hi, I'm Ty. I had an eye infection when I was very young and it left me with a bit of cloudy vision. Because of this, I am shy at first but, once I get to know you, I will run right to you and demand cuddles. I know how to play by myself and I love canned Fancy Feast (works well as a bribe to get to know me). I've been fostered around dogs, so as long as they are well behaved and the introduction is slow, I should be ok. I have not been around small children and would probably not do well with them because of my vision. I have been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and I tested negative for Felv/FIV. My adoption fee is $250.00

10. Altana

Her name is Lucinda and we still enjoy playing together. I love to snuggle up next to a human. I have not met dogs or small children. You may want to consider adopting me with one of my kittens; Lucinda or Benji. I have been spayed (note the small ear tip on my let ear) tested negative for Felv/FIV, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. My adoption fee is $150

14. Lestat
Kitten (3 months 8 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Anthem



Allow me to introduce Lestat—a tiny, fluffy predator with the heart of a cuddle bug and the hunting instincts of a miniature jungle cat. Lestat takes his job as household hunter very seriously. Give him a soft toy ball and prepare to witness a highly trained professional in action. Bugs? Consider them warned. Toys? Absolutely doomed. His littermates? Well… they make excellent moving targets. But behind that fierce little predator persona is a sweet soul. Lestat has a secret weakness: soft head scratches and a cozy nap beside his favorite human. He may be a little hunter, but he believes cuddling is an acceptable reward for a hard day's work.
Read more about Lestat
He has been exposed to 2 large dogs and responded with cautious curiosity. Lestat would absolutely love to be adopted with one of his littermates—Louie or Sadie May — because even the fiercest little predators deserve a partner in crime. Lastat is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV/FIV. His adoption fee is $250.00.

15. Hulk
Kitten (5 months 20 days) · Male · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Anthem






I came into Rescue with several other small kittens being scooped up in a colony under TNR. Because we were all sweet And in need of help with feeding we were the lucky ones. Some of us may be siblings, but we are definitely from the same colony; Dolores, Raspberry and Cherry. Because we’ve all played together and been together since we were Bottle Babies, anyone of us could be adopted with the other and transition so much easier I struggled the most because I had panleukopenia. But I am definitely a survivor. I had an abscess on my back, but it has healed and left a scar. I love hugs and cuddling with my human. I have been neutered, vaccinated, microchips, dewormed, and I tested negative for FELV/FIV. My adoption fee is $250.

16. Cherry
Kitten (6 months) · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Anthem

I like to pat my human gently on her chin and cheeks with my paw and give kisses Snuggling is right up my alley, and I am very motivated by Authority Kitten, chicken and liver, cat food, like the rest of my housemates You don’t have to ask me twice if I want to sit in your lap and watch everything that you’re doing. I have been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed And I tested negative for FELV/FIV. My adoption fee is $250.

20. Canberra
Young (1 year) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Anthem


I found myself being a young mom to 4 adorable kittens. Some nice people rescued us and brought us in. I'm still a little cautious of humans but I'm slowly warming up to trusting humans. I will be your best friend while watching a movie and I'll even share your snacks with you! I will need an experienced cat owner to know when I've had enough stimulation. If you give me a chance I promise we'll be best friends!

Adopting a cat in Anthem
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
