1. Boo
Young (1 year 5 months) · Male · Domestic Long Hair / Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 22 mi from Goodyear




BOO! Meet our spooky, special kitty, Boo! Boo is an approximately 1.5-year-old male all-black Domestic Medium/Long Hair. He came to Chi Town Rescue via a TNR group who had trapped and neutered him as a stray when he was around six-months-old. They were hopeful that as Boo was so young, he could become less feral and more friendly with humans. Boo is definitely still a project cat, but after a year, we finally feel comfortable listing him for foster or adoption to a patient and experienced cat home. Boo has started to rub against the legs of those he knows and trusts and will allow a few short pets on his back or tail.

He needs to initiate this interaction though, otherwise he will hiss/swat at you. Boo loves kitty yogurt like Churu and will happily gobble up the treat from the package or even lick it off your fingers. Boo is tolerant of other kitties and has met quite a few that have filtered in and out of our cat room over the past year. He mostly just does his own thing and doesn't mind sharing his space, but doesn't necessarily interact with the other cats. If you love a project and want to help a very special cat who has had a rough start in life, please send us a message! Email chitownrescue@gmail.com for more information.

2. Opal
Young (1 year 6 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 22 mi from Goodyear



Meet Opal, a beautiful 1.5-year-old tan tabby with a big personality
and lots of love to give! She’s playful, cuddly, and quite the
talker, always ready to share her thoughts with her favorite people.
Opal enjoys the company of kids and would make a wonderful addition to
a loving family. She would do best as the only cat in the home, but
may be able to adapt to a male cat!! She hasn’t had any experience with dogs
so probably would do best in a home without them. Her preferred foods are
Fancy Feast, Friskies and Vibrant Life. She likes the chicken and tuna flavors.
Churus and Temptation treats are her favorites. Opal is up to date on vaccines

4. Cheetoh
Young (2 years 2 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 22 mi from Goodyear



Hi my name is Cheetoh (aka: Cheetoh Buritto). I am a very big orange tabby and I like to talk to my humans! I’m not really a lap cat but I do like my pets! I am a very curious cat and if there is a closed door, I will want to be in there just so I can see what is inside! I really like exploring new spaces. I like to hide in tunnels and jump out at others to play. I like wand toys and ones shaped like springs that I can bat around. I like to run down the stairs when my foster mom gets up in the morning since I know I am getting fed! I am a big eater so she portion controls the food for me twice a day.

Adult (5 years 5 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby (short coat) · 22 mi from Goodyear









Momma, born 5/5/2021 (best estimate), is a sweet, chatty companion who is ready to find her true forever home. Originally found wandering a neighborhood in Scottsdale, she has an amazing story of resilience. Though rescue volunteers tracked down her previous owners, they unfortunately didn’t respond to multiple attempts to reunite them. But Momma isn't looking back—she’s only looking forward to a family who will cherish her the way she deserves.
Momma would thrive with her special person or a very chill family looking for a loving, loyal, and low-key feline friend to give her a well-deserved second chance. She is up-to-date on vaccines, including Rabies, spayed and FIV and FeLV negative. Her

6. Elvis
Adult (3 years 11 months) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Domestic Long Hair (medium coat) · 22 mi from Goodyear






Meet Elvis – This Handsome King Is Ready to Steal Your Heart!
Elvis may share his name with the King of Rock ’n’ Roll, but this sweet, laid-back gentleman prefers a little less rock and a lot more relaxation! With his gentle personality and easygoing charm, Elvis is happiest lounging in a sunny window, watching the birds, trees, and world go by. No blue suede shoes required—just a cozy spot in the sunshine and someone to love!
Read more about Elvis
Elvis would thrive in a calm, peaceful home where he can enjoy his favorite pastimes: window watching, cozy naps, and spending quiet moments with his favorite humans. He can be selective about his feline friends, so slow introductions are important if there are other cats in the home. He'd also be perfectly happy being your one and only!
In July, Elvis underwent a full-mouth dental extraction due to stomatitis, but he's feeling much better now and isn't letting his toothless smile slow him down one bit. He's fine eating dry kibble and would enjoy some wet food treats - but no fried
peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwichs required!
If you're looking for a handsome, gentle companion who will bring a little hunk of burning love into your life, Elvis might just be your perfect match. After all, he can't help falling in love with you!
Elvis is neutered, vaccinated, FeLV/FIV negative, dewormed, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $180.

9. Coyote
Young (1 year 5 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 22 mi from Goodyear



Hi! I'm COYOTE, a caped crusader, a lover and a spit fire all rolled into one. You can read my story below. I was the littlest one of the rescue, I wasn’t even a couple of pounds in weight. My three brothers and I were a tight little band. We didn’t understand what rescue was only that we were trapped and scared. I was pretty scrappy and my brothers would hide behind me when anyone approached. It didn’t take long to learn rescue meant food and a safe place. It also didn’t take long for my outgoing personality to earn me the title of Coyote (essence of adaptability, intelligence and resilience). My personality is bursting at the seams. I talk fast, move fast and play hard. When I settle in for a nap I am as sweet as sugar and love to get petted. You gotta love the sugar and spice! I'm up to date on vaccines including rabies, tested negative for FELV/FIV, spayed, dewormed and microchipped. My adoption fee is $180.

THE ORIGIN STORY:
Our owner passed away and no one was there to care for us. We went without food and water. Someone came to provide water but did not return. Then someone came with food but not water. Then both food and water stopped. When we were finally rescued, we were in very dire straits and some of us did not make it. We were placed under veterinary care to help us regain our muscle, strength and weight. We are in good health with good weights now but due to our previous lack of food we have sensitive tummies. We are doing well on a canned food only diet of Hills Science Diet 7+. Our coats have gone from rough and dry to the softest fur, we have clear beautiful eyes, gentle purrs and meows. We love getting petted with lots of adoring coos. Our foster home is a wonderful place. We have our first ever cat tree (oh what fun it is!) and cat toys (oh my!). Life is good and we are now ready to share the love and find our furever homes.

Why adopt an adult cat in Goodyear
An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.
Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
