Clover, a delightful orange and white tabby, has been in our care since March of 2024. Clover recently went into a foster home, and here's what her foster mom says about her:

"Hi! My name is Clover, and I am a friendly, playful, talkative kitty. I was left outside of ARNO in my carrier 🥲, who I am so grateful took me in for 6 months until I found my foster home! I have completely flourished in my foster home, and I know that I would be your next amazing bestie!

While I am 3 years old, you would never know! I am small, except when I stretch out after a big nap. My stretches are very impressive! I also loveeeee to play, play, play all day long! I like to play with just about anything. My toys of course, but also hair ties, napkins, human fingers, shoe laces, really anything. I am pretty good with sharing my toys, except with my favorite feather fish today. That fish is MINE🐟! I love to leap, grab, tug and somersault to catch my favorite fish toy. My foster mom loves that once I catch my toy, I proudly strut away with the fish in my mouth with a puffed out chest and high tail to go and enjoy my prize😍!

My love language truly is quality time💓. I will follow you all around the house from room to room all while chatting with you very loudly. I love to chat🗣️! I’ll keep you company while you cook, lounge with you on the couch, sleep next to you while you work from home, and even follow you to the bathroom! You know that I love you when I take my breaks from playing and exploring to give you some head nudges and plop down next to you in a ball and ask for back scratches🥹.

While I am very happy as long as I am with you, the only thing that makes me a high maintenance kitty is my love for running water! I am always very hydrated with my water fountain, and will even ask you to turn on the bathroom faucet for me. I know that we could be the best of friends, so come meet me!"

All throughout September Clover qualifies for a reduced fee of $100. This includes: spay, microchip, updated vaccines, and FIV/FeLv/Heartworm tests (which she is negative)

Urgent please help by fostering or donating!!Wilson was found in a field by a Good Samaritan totally emaciated at 25 lbs and ended up in an overflowing municipal shelter. Arno pulled him yesterday and is boarding him at our vet clinic where he is getting the best of care until we can place him! Now at 30 lbs this baby needs a foster to get up his weight so he can get a forever home. Our vet says he is bright and happily wagging his tail. If you can foster Wilson please email [email protected]. Remember if you have adopted within the last 2 years no application is required. We would just call the vet to make sure up to date. Please share Wilson’s story and donate if you can at https://animalrescueneworleans.org/donate/

"I'm Avi, a 13 year-young Dachshund with the longest legs you'll ever see. 🥰

I'm an easygoing lady who prefers a slow-paced, chill home environment. I've always pictured myself in a home where my senior years will be celebrated. Even though my muzzle is turning silver, my heart of gold is waiting for a home to shine in. I'm good with other pups and I'm a wiz at learning new tricks. Meet me and let's find new moments to share together!" 💙💛

"There's too much hustle and bustle these days. Work, social lives, family, blah blah blah. For today's let's just chill, cool? 🥰

The name's Parker and I'm about 2 years young. Unlike a bouncy kitten, I prefer to spend my days in the slow lane of life. My ideal kind of home is one where I can lay next to my human while they read, watch tv, or work on some crafts. And when that human needs to leave the home? They don't have to worry about me, I'll be catching up on my zzzzs. After a long day of dealing with annoying people, they can look forward to rotting in bed with me. Now, doesn't that sound like a peaceful way to live your life? I certainly agree." 💙💛

All throughout September Parker's adoption fee is reduced to $100!

"Hi, fishy friends! I'm Dory. Loveably orange and ready to explore the big blue world with you by my side. 🌊

I'm around a year old and perfectly embody what it means to be a 'housecat', or rather 'house fish'. I'm as cool as a sea cucumber and I'm not a lady who stirs up a fuss. I'll swimmingly enjoy the simple pleasures in life, like meal times, a warm bed, and even free cardboard boxes. I don't mind the company of other catfish, or I can live my life as a lone shark. I'm ready to 'Just Keep Swimming' into a sea anemone with a family that will treasure me. Could that be with you?" 🐠

Ever wanted a sweet, playful cat that looked like she was stitched together? Kitt is your girl! 😻

She’s about a year and a half old with a tabby body and orange legs. Besides her striking looks, Kitt is naturally outgoing and looks for fun everywhere she goes. She’s good with other cats, and would also be content as as only cat, as well. Kitt would make a great companion for anyone ranging from a first-time cat owner to a seasoned kitty pro. 🐱

"Hey, there! It's truly a pleasure to meet you. Everyone calls me 'Charpita'. 😸

I am the definition of 'confidence' and will eagerly greet any newcomer that visits me. In just a moment in time, I've meowed my way straight into your heart. Yes I get along with other felines, but my one true love is the affection of a human. I am quite 'dog-like' and make new friends with ease. I am only a year old, which means plenty more years of charm, effortless grace, and enthusiastic companionship.

Care to join me, paw and hand, in this wonderful journey of life? Let's dive in!" 💙💛

"Howdy, friends! I'm Whisper. Buckle up for a fun ! 🤠

I'm a year young Cattle dog. My family lines means I'm as sharp as a tack and pick up on new things lickety-split. In only a week I learned how to wait for my supper and to sit by the door. Just imagine what else my lil' brain can do! While in my foster saloon, I've partnered up with dogs, cats, and even young cowboys! There's nothing that makes my heart soar more than going out on wild adventures. We can hop aboard a horse and giddyup into town for all sorts of fun. So, wanna saddle up together?" 🐴

🚨HELP ARNO PREPARE FOR HURRICANE FRANCINE 🚨

We're urgently preparing our shelter for the upcoming storm. Our staff and volunteers have been tirelessly preparing the building for potential flooding, setting up generators, and buying supplies. We've been blessed to send some animals to foster homes, and we're in the middle of equipping our facility for the animals that still remain in our care. We will be having staff stay in the building throughout the hurricane to monitor the generator and care for the animals. Our team urgently needs to purchase gas, batteries, water, and food and we need our animal-lovers' support to fund the emergency supplies. Regardless of the size of your contribution, please consider the homeless pets who are relying on us to provide the safety needed during this upcoming storm.

How do your locks grow?
With silver tufts, and golden fluffs,
And pretty shades all in a row.🎶

Mary is a confident and bold two-year young lady who's ready to dazzle her future family. This lady knows what she wants and has no qualms on sharing it. As a long-haired dilute-calico, her bossiness is best suited for a home where her queendom will reign as the solo cat. Whether you prefer to listen to her delightful purrs or entertain her with a wand toy, there is no shortage of enchantment with Mary around. 💝

All throughout September Mary's adoption fee is reduced to $100!

"It's time to turn the spice level up to 10!! 🌶

The name's Pepper, spicy lil' guy with a flaming orange coat to match my zest. I'm hands down one of the most fun, charming, and silly cats you'll ever meet. It's only taken me a whopping 6 months to reach this level of awesomeness– and the sky is only the limit! Like a radiant firework, I'll jump and soar for endless moments of laughter, especially if there's other cats to help entertain me.

My fiery personality is sure to win any human over if they have just a few moments with me.

Now, I'm looking to fire-up some memories in a forever home. Feeling that spark yet?" ❤️‍🔥
