"Hi, I'm Bubbles! Thanks for 'popping' in!

🫧I'm about 7 months young. Since I was a tiny bubble, I've been surrounded by other cats and humans. Turing me in to a friend that's 'bursting' of fun!

🫧Just like my namesake, I'm constantly floating around in search of the nearest fun.

🫧If you're ever feeling down, just know I'll be there to snuggle up a bursting serving of happiness.

Do you think your home is in need of a clean addition? I'm the bubble-icious guy for you!"

"Fine folks, gather round. I'm Fern. Purveyor of unbridled fun and an unmatched pearly white smile.

I arrived to ARNO as a humble runt. Fast forward to almost a year later and here I continue to sit.

Some notes about yours truly:

1. There's no better 'Good Girl' unlike myself. I'm good with dogs, kids, plus I'm housebroken!

2. Entertainment is easy with me by your side. Walks shall be walked, canines will be enthralled in our playtime, and we will even share warmth in delightful cuddles.

3. I aim for excitement, so I'd make a stupendous companion for an engaging run or even an agility course!

Now it's off in search of a home. Let's move to it!"

"Don't slip past me! I'm Olive Oil! An eye-catching lady ready to see where our culinary adventures take us. 🫒

I'm estimated to be about a year old and some sort of Hound mix. Like any good blend, I bring an unparalleled sense of unity. Whether we're out exploring the stunning Grecian landscapes or just binge watching Greek cooking tutorials at home, I pair well with all sorts of activities. "Olive" other dogs and I would thrive in a home with them, too!

So are you thinking of adding a pup to your home? "Oil" be waiting patiently to meet you!"

"The name's Rory. Be prepared for an explosion of CUTENESS!

🐾I was found as a stray while still just a pup. At just over 6 months old, I've quickly learned how to be the best gal around!

👯‍♀️You can bet I'll be an excellent pal to anyone: dogs, cats, and even kids! I'm just too friendly to not share it with the world!

💨Are you a fan of wind energy? Perfect! Since my tail moves at 100 miles per hour, I'm basically a renewable resource!

🥰I love nothing more than the simplicities of life. Adoring belly rubs, rolls in crisp grass, and just overall romping in backyards. Can't get any better than that!

I'm patiently waiting to get scooped up, so give me the chance I know I deserve!"

"HIIII!!! I'm Tabitha, the tabby always gearing at fun levels over 120%! Don't just stare at my beautiful pictures! Get to know me!

😻I'm only 6 months young and practically a baby sans the infinite poopy diapers.

💪Bravery runs through my veins! Nothing scares me! You'll be amazed at how confidently I jump across towers, attack fearsome toys, and even go head-to-head with other felines!

💝Every star athlete understands the importance of rest and I'm no exception. I'll melt like butter during nap time as you enviously watch how good my life is.

I've been training for my next mission– your house! Have your people call my people!" 💙💛

Waiting for a home since 5/14/2020, Carol is currently ARNO’s longest resident. Keep reading to see if she’d make a great fit for you. 👇🏼

7️⃣ Carol is 7 years old and entering her senior years. Thanks to her aging wisdom, she’s quite calm and prefers easygoing walks and sun bathing as opposed to intense outings.

🦴 Carol is a treat HOG! She’s a smart lady and will happily exchange a trick for a treat.

🐶 Like the true diva she is, Carol thrives having the spotlight to herself. She’d be the perfect candidate for a home with no other pets.

If you think you can help change Carol’s world, submit an application to foster or adopt her at https://animalrescueneworleans.org/adoptfoster/

"I'm Damien Priest: the next love of your life! 😻

There's nothing better than the melting purrs from a kitten who adores you more than life itself. I'm eager to please and eagerly seek attention from everyone. 😃

It's quickly made me a shelter favorite! And don't worry, cats are ALSO my best friends, too! When I'm not zipping around, begging for pets, or hunting toys, you're bound to find me nestled with friends for a nap. 🤗

I'm a pretty iconic guy and I'm gonna make my future home feel like the luckiest people alive.

So if you're in need of sweetness, validation, and someone to get into typical orange cat antics, you gotta pick me!!!" 🧡🧡🧡
