10. Wisp

Adult (8 months) · Male · American Shorthair (short coat) · 21 mi from Fountain Hills

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.

Adult (2 years 3 months) · Female · Bengal (short coat) · 21 mi from Fountain Hills

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.

18. Ty

Kitten (6 months) · Female · Abyssinian / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 21 mi from Fountain Hills

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

Adopting a cat in Fountain Hills

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.
