🎄 Holiday Miracles Waiting to Happen. 🐾✨

These sweet souls didn’t come from cozy couches or warm windowsills. Leo, Twix and Patches were found in a colony—but they were far too friendly, too trusting, too full of love to be released back outside. So now they’re here, hoping their story changes just in time for Christmas. 💚❄️❤️

😽❣️😽 Leo & Twix are a bonded pair—the real deal. Two hearts, one rhythm. They eat together, nap together and find courage in each other. Separating them would be like splitting a wish in half. Together, they’re gentle, comforting and quietly magical. Adopt them as a duo and you’re not just bringing home cats—you’re keeping a love story intact.

😺 Patches is your independent spirit. Confident, curious and perfectly content on her own… but also the kind of gal who’d be thrilled to have a feline friend. She’s flexible, affectionate and ready to fit into your life—however that looks.

All three are currently waiting in the cat habitat cubbies at Petco—watching families shop, listening to holiday music and hoping someone stops… and sees them.

🎁 This Christmas, you can give the gift that lasts longer than lights or wrapping paper. Let’s make sure their story doesn’t end in a cubby.

Adopt Leo & Twix — keep a bonded pair together 💞

Adopt Patches — a solo sweetheart who’d love a home (and maybe a buddy) 🧡

🎄😽 Four Days until Christmas. A Few Love Stories. One Last Chance. 🤍🐾

We have four days to change the ending — not for one pair, but for several bonded pairs whose hearts are already spoken for… by each other. ❣️

These cats aren’t just roommates. They are chosen family.
They sleep tangled together like commas in the same sentence.
They groom one another with quiet devotion.
They move through the world as a we, not an I. 🐈‍⬛️❤️🐈

Separating them would mean more than a change of address — it would mean losing the one constant they’ve held onto through everything else that’s changed. 💔

And yet… there is hope here. Real, breathing, soft-pawed hope.
Because bonded pairs don’t ask for more love — they bring it with them. 💞

These furbabies are ready for a human who understands that some loves are not meant to be divided.
Ready for someone who sees that adopting two isn’t “more work” — it’s more magic. ❄️🐾

⏳ Four days left.
Four days to keep families together.
Four days to choose love in stereo.

🔊 Please share. Please come meet them. Please be the reason these bonds stay unbroken.

Sometimes the most beautiful stories don’t come alone —
they come side by side. 💞

🎄❤️🐾 Consider a cat who's already waiting. Everyone wants a kitten for Christmas - an adult cat just wants a home. 🐾❤️🎄

Pawliday Adoption Event at Petco in Layton TOMORROW from 12-4pm. 🗓

They truly are the hidden gems 💎 of rescue and don't come with surprises.
Adult cats love deeply. They know what it’s like to lose and because of that, they cherish what they’re given. ❤️‍🩹 When you adopt one of them, you’re not just bringing home a pet—you’re giving a second chance to a heart that never stopped hoping.

They have already lost once... yet, they still press their faces forward, still purr for strangers, still believe that being good might finally be enough. 😽

😻🐾 PURRsonalities are already shining through—you know if they’re cuddly, playful, calm or independent. They’re past the midnight zoomies, are already litter-trained and they settle into new homes faster than you might expect, as if they've been there all along.

🤶🎁 For these cats, the holidays can be confusing and lonely. They’ve watched decorations go up and families come in… and leave without them. 😿 Giving a grown cat a home for Christmas isn’t just an adoption—it’s a promise that they won’t be overlooked anymore.

The truth is, love doesn’t come in a specific age. 💞 It comes with soft purrs. Gentle head bumps and a warm presence that makes your house feel like home.

Many are perfectly content curling up beside you while you sip cocoa and watch Christmas movies. 🎅🐾 Others are trying their best to recover from a 💔 after having been forgotten and need YOU to remind them they are worthy of love. Still others, are obnoxiously needy like your partner on a bad day who follows you from room to room hoping you'll drop everything to give them a quick hug and compliment. 😹 Regardless, they deserve a chance to feel like they belong somewhere in this big 'ol world.

We guarantee kittens will one day be this size anyway, so take the leap... 🐾 🤞

💫🎄This Christmas, consider opening your heart to a cat who’s already waiting for you. Adopt an adult cat today. Give them a home and family that doesn’t disappear when the holiday is over. They have already waited long enough. 🐾❤️

We’re endlessly grateful for the partnerships that help make our mission possible. 🥰

Newgate Mall’s advertisement kiosk gives our adoptable pets a spotlight where thousands of hearts pass by every day, turning “just looking” into “I think that one’s mine.” 👀❤️

Salazar Scoops keeps yards clean so pets (and people) can live happier, healthier lives—because loving animals also means caring for the spaces they play in. 🏡 🐕

And at the heart of it all is our ongoing partnership with Petco, where consistent weekly adoptions remind us why we do this work. Week after week, we watch animals go from waiting… to chosen… to home. 😸 🐶

When you're out and about this weekend, be sure to swing by Newgate Mall and Petco for all your last minute Christmas shopping! 🛍

Don't forget to ✔️ out Salazar Scoops - you'll be glad you did! They handle all the hard work so you can enjoy the little moments this season! 💩

These collaborations aren’t just business partnerships—they’re community, compassion and momentum. Together, we’re creating cleaner yards, louder visibility and forever homes. 🐾 💕

✨ I climbed up here because I heard Christmas is where families find each other. ✨

🎄 Hi there, I'm Tini 🎄
Plot twist: I’m the last one.
All my siblings got adopted… and I’m still here, hanging out in the Christmas tree like a tiny, striped ornament with feelings. ✨

🤍 I don’t want to spend Christmas waiting. 🤍

Yes, I’m a tabby.
No, that does not mean I’m “just a cat.” 😽 It means I’ve got custom stripes, a pink nose that deserves kisses & a personality that will absolutely steal your heart if you give me five minutes. 🐾

✨ Five minutes is all it takes. ✨
I’m playful, curious & 100% kitten. I zoom. I chatter. I treat empty boxes like luxury condos. I take food very seriously & naps even more seriously. If you’re late to dinner, I’ll forgive you… eventually.

Oh! 😺 If I'm ever "missing" you can find usually find me at my fountain fighting water demons! 💦 That thing is fascinating!!!

🥺 I’m ready for my forever. 🥺
I’m still learning cuddles, but I love gentle butt scratches & sitting close while I decide you’re my person. I don’t rush love — I commit to it. 💕

Limited edition. Not “just a tabby.”
✨ Maybe this is how you find me. ✨
I don’t need to be flashy to be special.
I just need someone to notice me.

⏰ Please don’t wait too long. Dpon’t overlook the stripes. Come meet me! I’ll be the best decision you make this season. 🎁

🩷🎄 Someone Is Going to Fall in Love with Me This Christmas 🎄🩷

I’m still here in the cat cubbies at Petco in Layton. Come say hello. I’ll be here today. And tomorrow. 😿 But I’m really hoping today is the day you find me.

If a 📸 is worth a thousand words, the little 📹 in the comments might say the rest of what I can’t quite put into words yet.

My name is Sidni. I’m a sweet, gentle 7-year-old girl, and I tend to trust with my whole heart. Within one hour of meeting my foster family, I climbed right into a hand and fell asleep—head tucked, eyes closed—like I’d finally found the place I’d been waiting for. 💤💞 That’s me in a nutshell: calm, affectionate, and quietly devoted.

I’m the kind of cat who would be an absolute dream for a first-time cat parent. No chaos. No drama. Just cozy companionship. I’m not a big fan of being picked up (a lady has boundaries), but give me a lap, a blanket, or a perfectly built “leg tent,” and I’ll melt into you like warm honey. 😻

Treats? Oh yes. Whisper the crinkle of Churu, Temptations, or catnip and I’ll suddenly hustle over like I’m late for something important. 😹🐟 I’m polite, playful in the sweetest way, and I have impeccable litter box manners—I take pride in that.

I haven’t met other animals yet, but I absolutely adore sitting quietly with the teenager in my foster home, especially during reading time. I’m easy-going, gentle, and the kind of cat who does best with patience and love (slow introductions help me feel safe). ❣️

I’m already spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped—the hard stuff is done.
All I need now is a family to come meet me, look into my soft eyes, and realize I’ve been waiting just for them. 🫂🐈‍⬛💓

📢🗣LUCY WAS JUST ADOPTED!!! 🎉🎉

Christmas Is Coming. I’m Still Here. I Don’t Need Presents—Just a Family. 🎄🤍🐾

My name is Lucy.
I’m a 5½-year-old spayed tabby with a calm, affectionate nature and a gentle soul. Tonight, I’ll sleep in this cubby again. Alone. 💔

No one has stopped to meet me yet — and I think it’s because I’m not loud or flashy.
I don’t cry. I don’t paw at the glass.
I just curl up and wait. 😿

I’ve been here at Petco in Layton all week.
Every day, people walk past me with carts full of gifts. Every night, the lights dim, the store gets quiet, and I stay.

🙀 My alternative to not being adopted is going back to a home where the two resident cats have quite literally pushed me out of the home and I spend my time between the patio and garage. I want an indoor life and a place where I belong!

I’m not a kitten, and I know that makes me easier to overlook. But I am gentle. I am calm. And I am so ready to go home. 🏡

Be sure to look at the comments - you'll 👀 videos of me!

I’m the kind of cat who will sit beside you on the couch, who will sleep near your feet, who will make your house feel steadier just by being there. I’m not chaotic or demanding — I’m steady, comforting, and deeply loyal once I feel safe.💞

I love cheek scratches, soft blankets, sun-warmed windows and quiet company. I play fetch with pom-pom balls. I make biscuits when I feel safe. I purr when someone chooses me.

😽 I’m a quiet girl, and I’m looking for a calm, peaceful home where voices are soft and love is steady. Loud noises make me nervous, and while I’ve had some rough experiences with other cats in the past, I’m hoping to be someone’s one and only—or at least the only cat for now. Dogs are a bit too much for me, too. I thrive best when life is predictable and kind. ⚠️

I adore gentle kids who want a cat that hangs out instead of hides. 🧒👧 I love couch cuddles, sleeping on the bed, cheek scratches and soft conversations. I make biscuits on fluffy blankets, play fetch with pom-pom balls, sunbathe like it’s my job and bird-watch from my window bed. I’ll even roll over for gentle belly or chest rubs — just listen when I say I’ve had enough.

I’ll admit — I’m a little fluffy. 😹 My vet says I could lose about five pounds, but I’m otherwise healthy with good teeth and a clean bill of health. I may look plush and relaxed, but I’m surprisingly quick and an excellent hunter. Flies, mice — handled. (Birds and small critters should stay safely protected.)

I’m independent enough to be okay when you travel, but loving enough that you’ll miss me when you’re gone. 😻

One thing that matters to me: a clean litter box. If it’s not up to my standards, I might have an accident—not to be naughty, but to let you know it needs attention. Don't let this scare you away though because I really am a good girl, I just like a clean bathroom... don't you?! 😺

If you are reading this and your chest feels tight, that's the universe telling you to adopt me.💋

I’m looking for someone who will dote on me, love me for exactly who I am, and give me a quiet place to finally exhale.
❣️In return, I’ll give you soft purrs, warm companionship and a lifetime of unconditional love.

Come meet me at Petco in Layton.
Take me home so tonight, for the first time in a long time, I don’t have to sleep alone in a box. 😿

Visit www.anbarrescue.org today and ask about adopting me.

Love,
Lucy (aka Chunkerella) 🐾💜

🎄 Holiday Shopping Reality Check 🎄
Sure, you can keep buying gifts…
or you can adopt one that purrs, judges your life choices & loves you forever.

🐾 Meet Sidni & Lucy — currently living in the Layton Petco Cat Cubbies
watching the world go by and hoping today is the day someone stops… and sees them.

💗 Sometimes the cat you need isn’t the loudest one in the room.
Sometimes it’s the one waiting softly for someone who will stay. Lucy is a beautiful grey tabby that seeks solace in her nursing blanket. She's a little shy at first but very sweet and wants you to understand that the quiet ones love just as hard—sometimes even harder. The best relationships start slowly but last forever and we are confident that with patience and kindness, Lucy will choose you completely.

🤍 Sidni is a unique, almost smokey tux who is not here to waste your time. She will sit beside you to watch every holiday movie and act personally offended if you stop petting her. Sidni acclimates quickly -
New space? Fine. New couch? Claimed. New human? Already sitting next to you. Sidni is great for first-time adopters!

Full bios under the pics! 👓

My name is Pumpkin Martini - “Tini” for short! 🎃 🍸 I may be tiny, but I sure am sassy and mighty!

I'm playful, energetic and 100% kitten!!! 😼 After all I was just born in July so I'm still a baby. I will talk your ear off and run circles around everyone! But then, I like to settle in for long naps in a sunny window. 🪟

Mealtime is serious business! 🐟 If you are even a minute late, I'll definitely let you know. 😹 I'm a girl who loves her food—and honestly, who can blame me?

I am still trying to figure this big world 🌎 which means I'm not always in the mood for snuggles, but I will never turn down a good butt scratch. 😻 I'm confident that I'll be the BEST pet and before you know it, with your love and patience I'll be your best friend! 💞

🤭 Oh, and forget the expensive toys because I love to play inside empty boxes! 📦

I'd love a kitty friend and I'm sure dogs would be fine as long as you promise they will be nice to me!

Do you want to adopt me and love me forever & ever???
