nothing more than to snuggle up with you whenever I get the chance. I

love to play and have fun and want to have another furry friend in my new family! I get along

great with all kinds of animals and kids, so I’d make the perfect

2. Brigid

Adult (4 years 5 months) · Female · Tuxedo / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 15 mi from Scottsdale

Brigid is a beautiful, friendly adult tuxedo who gets along well with other cats. She enjoys the company of people and loves to get pet. She is a calm cat; nothing much ruffles her feathers. She has been around dogs and does fine with calm, respectful ones, even sleeping in their kennels (much to the disgust of the dogs.) Brigid is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV/FIV. Her adoption fee is $150.00.

3. Ty

Kitten (6 months) · Female · Abyssinian / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 15 mi from Scottsdale

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

She does very well with other cats and kittens, kids and she is okay with dogs as long as they aren't too interested in her. Verity requires a furry companion in her new home. She isn't a huge fan of being picked up but she does allow it.

Meet Lowen born 7/12/2026 (best estimate). This little sweetie pie is just as sweet as they come. She can be a bit shy at first but once she settles in, she will ask for belly rubs every chance she gets. Lowen is a quiet little gal, often spending her days watching all that goes on around her. She loves to play with other cats and kittens and doesn't mind dogs as long as they aren't too interested in her. Lowen requires a furry companion in her new home.

Hi, my name is Misty, born 3/31/2026 (best estimate). I’m named after a "Doctor Who" character. I have five brothers and they’re all bigger than me, but I’m still the master. We were found in a dumpster outside a Circle K, and I’m really glad that our foster parents were able to get us healthy and happy. I’m a little shy and might hide under the sofa, but when I do come out, I’m really really cuddly. I like terrorizing the dog because he’s so small and fluffy. I think he’s just a really big toy to play with. I enjoy the views from the Catio with my brothers and other foster siblings. I also like climbing the furniture and cat towers.

Hi! I'm Leo, born 4/15/2026 (best estimate). I am a playful little bundle of love who believes almost everyone - and everything - is a potential playmate! I love running, jumping, exploring, and having an all-around good time. Once I'm ready to relax, I'm also happy to cuddle with my people and turn on my very impressive purr motor. One of my favorite places is a sunny window where I can safely watch everything happening outdoors. I also appreciate a cozy bed or soft blanket when it's time for a nap. I can't wait to find a forever family that will give me plenty of playtime, affection and comfy places to curl up!

18. Claire

Kitten (10 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby (short coat) · 21 mi from Scottsdale

If you're looking for the ultimate snuggle buddy, snack fiend, and conversation starter, look no further than Claire (aka Claire Bear). She was born 12/1/2025 (best estimate) and is the most wonderful momma cat you ever met - and one of the youngest at that! Now that her three beautiful kittens are finding their own way, Claire is ready for her future family. A dream home for Claire looks like a calm, peaceful environment with lots and lots of treats and wet cat food, a crinkle toy or two would be a bonus. Claire would get along with a friendly fellow feline or two as long as they also want to be BFF's. She would very much prefer a home without a dog but could be in a home with a very calm, mellow dog. Her large puppy foster sister proved a little too much for her.

Claire will come up to you and ask for hugs and was napping in her foster's lap the very first week. She was found with her kittens in an apartment complex and while we do not know where she started off we do know where she's going: into the loving arms of someone out there. If you want a true fur baby who's devoted to your love and food, Claire is the gal for you. She is up to date on vaccines including rabies, tested negative for FELV/FIV, spayed, dewormed and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $240.

19. Gunner

Kitten (5 months 4 days) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 21 mi from Scottsdale

* Gunner and Greyson are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. *

Read more about Gunner

We're Gunner and Greyson, a dynamic pair of four-month-old brothers who joined our foster home on July 27th, 2026. As a buddy team, we're curious, energetic, and always looking for new adventures as we search for our forever home. Our favorite activity is investigating every corner and crevice of our foster house, and we also enjoy engaging play sessions with our other household feline friends. My brother and I show affection for each other, with mutual grooming, always curled up together when sleeping, playmates by choice, and nearly always together. I, Greyson, am the most energetic kitten around and always ready to play a game of ‘catch me if you can,’ and will spring away if you try to cuddle or pick me up too soon; I’ll turn it into a playful chase, so I mostly prefer my space and interact without too much fuss. Gunner, however, enjoys short periods of being picked up and has mastered the art of flat-cat sliding, especially when humans are petting him. While we are independent spirits, we will bring laughter and joy to your home, with goofy antics and lively personalities that will surely bring smiles. Our ideal home would be one that respects our space yet engages our lively personalities. We're gentle little kittens still getting used to the busy world. We haven't had any experience with children, so we'll need your patience and gentle care. If you're looking for companions who want a quiet and serene home where we can grow at our own pace, we could be just what you need. We've only met a non-mobile (paralyzed) dog, and we had no problems with it, since the dog wasn't a threat. Most importantly, we're excited to experience what true love means. All we need is compassion and a forever home where our only concern is having plenty of toys to play with. If you're looking for an entertaining pair to bring joy and laughter into your life, we're the ideal match! We're Gunner and Greyson, and we're waiting here for you. Important: We need and love interactive play cat toys, motion-sensor cat toys, cat spring toys, cat crinkle balls, cat spring tubes, small soft mouse toys, and a cat tree tower so we can get up high when we get nervous and can feel safe. We currently are on Purina Kitten Chow Dry Food. We will be your playful, goofy sidekicks in no time if we occasionally have Fancy Feast kitten wet food and Temptations Cat Treats. Backstory: Our story didn't start in a cozy home with a full food bowl—we were born into the wild, spending our first ten weeks learning survival alongside our mother. She wasn't a pampered pet; she was a fierce protector, teaching us to navigate a dangerous world with unwavering devotion. Life was tough, but she was everything to us. Then hunger led us into a human trap, and we found ourselvesface-to-face with the very creature we'd been taught to fear. We hissed and trembled as this person sat patiently, speaking in gentle tones until our defensive walls began to crumble. Gunner was brave enough to make first contact, his nose tentatively touching a soft finger while his “whole body” shook. Greyson watched cautiously from afar, his wide eyes studying this mysterious indoor realm. Now, in our foster home with its warm floors and magically appearing meals, we're transformed—yet still occasionally slip back into our wild instincts before remembering we're safe. Gunner races across hardwood with reckless joy, chasing a jingling ball with pure abandon. Greyson bounds after him, leaping over cushions in exuberant play, pausing to nuzzle the other cats who've shown us that the world holds friendship, not just danger. We are both up to date on our shots, tested negative for FELV/FIV, dewormed, neutered and microchipped. Our adoption fee is $400 (a real deal for both of us!)

Kitten (3 months 16 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 21 mi from Scottsdale

What's up? My name is Sheetz born 7/11/2026 (best estimate). Yeah, like the Wawa competitor. My humans say I bring a very east coast vibe to the southwest and I don't know what that means but I DO know football. Go Birds. I'm a black boy kitten with big ol' paws I have NOT grown into yet. Ask all the kits in the neighborhood, they call me Big Paws. Same story with my ears. We're working on it. My resume: Professional player. Professional napper. I go hard playing, then I go harder taking loooooong hard naps. No in-between. I like playing with dogs, cats and small children. I would require a companion animal in my forever home or someone that is home a lot to be with me. If you're looking for a cuddle bug who will chase a wand toy like it's the Super Bowl and then pass out on your chest for 3 business hours, I'm your guy. I'm still a baby, so I'm learning how to be a gentleman. I promise to bring loyalty, chaos, and east coast charm to your couch. Sheetz is up to date on vaccines including rabies, tested negative for FELV/FIV, dewormed, neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $240

22. Bucees

Kitten (3 months 16 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 21 mi from Scottsdale

I bet you are wondering how I got my name... Well, there was a pulled pork sandwich. It was in packaging. I decided that packaging was a suggestion, not a rule, and I chewed straight through it and took some VERY LARGE bites before anyone could stop me. You can now find me around your house in that exact same position. On my side. Mouth full. No regrets. I'm Buc-ees born 7/11/2026 (best estimate) - black boy kitten, professional sandwich thief, full-time loaf. Other cats? Amazing with them. Love them. 10/10 would cuddle. Dogs? Couldn't care less. Are you a dog? Cool. Anyway… Scary stuff? The doorbell is the ONLY thing that scares us. Which is fair. Why is it screaming? Important notes: No Outdoors, we like our pork sandwiches door dashed. Also, for some reason I am weirdly attracted to crystals. If you have crystals, I will be sitting on them. Charging them. Guarding them. It's a whole thing. If you want a sweet, silly, dog-proof, cat-friendly, kid-approved, crystal-loving gremlin who will steal your BBQ and then nap in the same position he stole it in, I'm your guy. I would require a furry companion or someone that is home alot to be with me. Come meet Buc-ees with no long drive to the West Valley. Buc-ees is up to date on vaccines including rabies, tested negative for FELV/FIV, dewormed, neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $240.

23. Clapton

Kitten (7 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 21 mi from Scottsdale

Meet Clapton born 3/18/2026. He showed up at the Crossroads — tiny, loud, and absolutely sure he was Layla's long-lost brother.​ By day he's slow and sweet, just waiting to tell you You Look Wonderful Tonight. By night? Pure Sunshine of Your Love zoomies around the living room. He'll spend hours looking out the window, thinking about Tears in Heaven, and then come flop on your chest like he wants to Change the World one purr at a time. He may be small, but he’s got a big old soul and a little White Room he’s claimed as his own (aka the laundry basket). Warning: Once you meet him, it’s After Midnight and you’re already in love. Clapton does not require a companion animal but it would require someone to be home most of the time with him. Clapton is up to date on vaccines including rabies, tested negative for FELV/FIV, dewormed, neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $240.

24. Dylan

Kitten (7 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 21 mi from Scottsdale

Meet Dylan born 3/18/2026. He wasn't Blowin' in the Wind when we found him — he was curled up by the bonfire, tangled up in a blanket. He's not Like a Rolling Stone, he actually loves to stay right by your side. But don't get him Tangled Up in Blue — he's a blue-collar cuddle monster in a tiny brown coat. He spends his mornings Knockin' on Heaven's Door (aka your bedroom door at 5am), his afternoons watching how The Times They Are a-Changin' out the window, and his nights Forever Young by the fire. Small, soft, and a little bit Mister Tambourine Man when he gets the zoomies at midnight. If you're looking for a shelter from the storm, Dylan is it.

25. Moonlight

Kitten (6 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tortoiseshell (short coat) · 21 mi from Scottsdale

Hi, I'm Moonlight! Born 4/5/2026 (best estimate). I'm a sweet little tortie girl who's ready to take over your heart and home by storm!

You may have heard that tortoiseshell kitties have "Tortitude." Well, I have very little tortitude! I get along well with other cats after a proper introduction, and I'd love to have another younger buddy around to roughhouse with. My foster mom says I "like to play rough," so an older or timid friend may not be the best match for me. I may be ok as an only kitty, but only if you are around all day to be my BFF.

Read more about Moonlight

My favorite way of showing you that I love you is to march back and forth across you while purring fiercely, hoping that you'll give me some love and booty scratches (my favorite!). I can also be very independent when the mood strikes me, and I would love to show you what a mighty huntress I can be with some toy mice or a ball. I like to carry my toys around the house with me and show them all the sights. I also really love to be up high, so a cat tree or some wall shelves would be perfect for me! If you take some time to bring out a wand toy, you'll be truly amazed with how athletic and acrobatic I can be! But at the end of the day, all I really want is to snuggle up with you on the couch or in bed and run my little purr motor for you endlessly. If you're looking for a sweet and active companion with a heart of gold and just the right amount of tortitude to keep life interesting, adopt me today! Moonlight is up to date on vaccines including rabies, spayed, microchipped and tested negative for FIV / FeLV. Her adoption fee is $240.

No online applications will be accepted for this kitty. I am at PetSmart at the Promenade (16257 N. Scottsdale Rd.). Please proceed there to meet me and fill out an application in person.

26. Maze

Kitten (6 months) · Female · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 21 mi from Scottsdale

Meet Maze, a very sweet and sometimes shy girl. When she isn’t sunning in front of the window, she loves to play with her siblings and her favorite toys. Maze is a very sweet special girl and has a very unique personality that will make you smile. It may take sometime for her to adjust but once she is settled she will be a wonderful companion in her own special way and will want to snuggle. Maze has been around other cats and dogs, but may need slow introduction at first. She hasn't experienced small children yet, so older, considerate children would be best for her. Maze is spayed, vaccinated, Fiv/Felv tested, dewormed and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $240.

27. Sake

Young (5 months 21 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Scottsdale

Hello, world! My name is Sake, and just like my namesake, I’m warm, delightful, and guaranteed to lift your spirits! I’m a sleek little black kitten with a playful spark and one slightly quirky, wonky ear from babyhood that earned me the loving foster nickname “Dobby House Elf.” During the day, you’ll find me rough-housing with my cat and kitten foster siblings, happily pestering the resident dogs, or scaling tall cat trees on grand explorations. Once I’ve run out of kitten zoomies, I transform into an Olympic-level cuddler who will happily melt into your lap for chin scratches and sweet purrs.

All I need now is my forever family—no socks required, just a lifetime of love and lap times! I am tested, spayed, vaccinated, and micro-chipped. My estimated birth date is 4/17/2026 and my adoption fee is $225.

Bringing a cat home to your dog

Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.

Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
