✨🐾 Meet Knight – Your Future Snuggle Sidekick! 🐾✨

This gorgeous girl is looking for her forever kingdom! 🏰 At around 3 years old, Knight has already proven herself to be brave, playful, and full of love. She’s FeLV/FIV negative, f***l clear, spayed, and already had her first round of vaccines—so she’s ready to ride off into the sunset with her new family. 💉✅

Knight may be a little shy at first, but once she gets to know you, she’s all about purrs and playtime. She especially loves chasing toys with her technician friend Bri and soaking up all the snuggles she can get. 💕🐱

Now all Knight needs is a home of her very own. Could that be with you?

👉 If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this sweet girl, give us a call at (480) 988-3660 to meet her. Let’s find Knight her happily-ever-after! ✨

🌟 Meet Rocky! 🌟

Back in April, Rocky went outside for some fresh air, spotted a bird, and—being the lively bird-dog he is—took off running. But he suddenly lost traction on the travertine and suffered paralysis in his back legs. 💔

He was rushed to the ER and then to a neurologist, where an MRI confirmed a slipped disc (disc extrusion) had caused paraplegia. The good news: no surgery was needed, and with time, rest, and therapy, he could walk again.

Rocky was never in pain and never lost his spirit. He’s always been our happy boy, not letting his limitations stop him. With physical therapy, acupuncture, and hydrotherapy at Arizona Animal Wellness Center, he’s made incredible progress—regaining strength, rebuilding muscle, and walking stronger every day. 🐾💪

Dr. Richmond, Natalie, and Madi have been miracle workers and real-life angels in his recovery. Rocky is always so excited for his visits, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the kindness, patience, and expert care he’s received.

It’s been a team effort, but Rocky continues to amaze us with how far he’s come. We’re so proud of him and forever thankful for the love and dedication AAWC has shown our sweet boy. 💛

✨ If your pet needs rehab—whether for recovery, mobility support, or strength-building—AAWC offers underwater treadmill therapy, land-based sessions, and tailored treatment plans. Call us at (480) 988-3660 to learn more.

🐾 Your boy Fry's here, reporting live from AAWC! 🐾

Remember me? About 5 weeks ago, I was found trying to sneak into Fry’s to cool off from the Arizona heat 🥵. A kind human scooped me up and brought me to safety, and I’ve been hanging out here at Arizona Animal Wellness Center (AAWC) ever since — getting love, good meals, and a cozy place to rest. 💕

No one came to claim me, so now I’m officially on the lookout for my forever family. Since being at AAWC, I’ve been neutered, got my first round of vaccines, and had a f***l test (all clear ✅). The only thing is I tested positive for FIV. Don’t let that scare you — I’m still the same affectionate, sweet boy who loves giving cuddles. I just need a home with no other cats, or with a kitty friend who already has FIV.

I know my purrfect match is out there — maybe it’s you? 🐱💛

👉 If you’re interested in adopting me or know someone who might be, please reach out to AAWC so I can finally find my forever home.

🐾😼 Cash Money here, your favorite fluffy financial advisor—except today, I'm talking health, not wealth! 💵➡️💉

It’s Happy Healthy Cat Month, and I’m here to remind all my kitty comrades (and their humans) that annual vet visits are a MUST—even if we look perfectly fine lounging on top of your fridge or judging your every move from the windowsill. 🐈👀

Here’s the tea, friends:
✔️ Cats are experts at hiding illness (we’re dramatic, but also sneaky).
✔️ Annual exams help catch issues before they become serious.
✔️ Preventive care = longer, healthier, sassier lives. 😻

So let’s purr up a plan! Whether it’s vaccines, lab work, or just a wellness check, let your vet team show you the love you secretly enjoy.

🧡 Call to schedule your cat’s checkup today—because healthy is the new handsome.
(Just look at me. I rest my case.) 😽✨

💖 Ten Years Later… and All the Love Came Rushing Back! 🐾

Meet Taylor, a beautiful soul who was adopted from AAWC 10 years ago. As a tiny foster pup, she stole Nykala’s heart—and clearly, the feeling was mutual. 💖

Taylor came back to the clinic for a visit… and guess what? Her incredible family remembered Nykala after all these years and asked for her by name! 😭✨

After a whole decade, Taylor’s journey came full circle—proving once again that the bonds we build with these animals are never forgotten.

Here’s what this moment reminded us of:
🐾 Adoption isn’t just a chapter—it’s a lifelong story.
🐾 Fostering saves lives and leaves paw prints on hearts forever.
🐾 Love like this? It never fades.

To all the fosters, adopters, and animal lovers out there—thank you for making moments like this possible. 💛

🌟 September Rockstar Spotlight: Sami! 🌟

If positivity had a mascot, it would be Sami. 💛 She’s the teammate who shows up with a smile, jumps in without hesitation, and keeps our Otto platform running like a pro (seriously—she makes Otto look easy!).

What makes Sami shine even brighter? She cares. She doesn’t just lend a hand—she checks in, encourages, and makes sure no one feels left behind. On tough days, her optimism is contagious, reminding us all that there’s always a silver lining. 🌈

We couldn’t be prouder to celebrate Sami as our Team Member of the Month! Thank you for bringing sunshine, strength, and a whole lot of heart to AAWC every single day. 🐾✨

Hey friends, Sparkle here—your resident queen of sass and senior wellness! 🐾✨

So, it’s Animal Pain Awareness Month, and I’ve got news for you: just because we’re “getting older” doesn’t mean we should be slowing down. Nope. Not this girl. 💃🐕

Sure, I don’t chase the mailman like I used to (he got lucky 😏), but with Dasuquin Advanced helping my joints, I’m still strutting my stuff and living my best life. ✨

Here’s the thing: pets are sneaky. We hide pain better than your human hides snacks from me. But slowing down, limping, or “just acting old” can really mean pain. The good news? My AAWC crew has all kinds of ways to help:
💊 Western medicine (the quick fix)
🌿 Holistic + integrative care (the zen fix)
🐾 Tailor-made plans to keep every pet comfy

So listen up, humans: if your furry friend isn’t moving like they used to, don’t just shrug it off. Call my friends at AAWC (480-988-3660) and let’s get them back to living their best life—zoomies, snacks, and all.

Because this diva? She’s not giving up her spotlight anytime soon. 💅✨

🧡🔥 Happy Ginger Cat Appreciation Day! 🔥🧡

Today we raise a paw to all the fabulous felines dressed in 50 shades of orange—because let’s face it, ginger cats are in a league of their own. 😼✨

Whether they’re causing chaos at 3am, judging your life choices from the windowsill, or demanding snacks with that signature sass, ginger cats have a purr-sonality as bold as their fur!

🐾 Spicy? Yes.
🐾 Cuddly? Sometimes.
🐾 Deserving of a holiday in their honor? ABSOLUTELY.

🎉 Drop a photo of your favorite orange kitty in the comments below or tag us in your stories—we want to see those floofy fireballs! 🧡🐈
