🐾 Adoption Update 🐾 Rufus and Wednesday were always good buddies in their foster home. Rufus got adopted, and a little while later it turned out the family decided they just needed another cat 🐱 and Wednesday was still looking for a home. They quickly became the best of buds again! And we couldn’t be happier! This duo just keeps getting cuter ❤️ We are so happy they ended up together and became family with such amazing adopters!

Kitten season doesn’t seem to really ever end in Arizona 🐈 although we get a slightly slower wave in the winter months, but now kitten season is about to ramp back up and hit us in full force!

We already have several tiny babies in our care. Right now veterinary students are giving them love and care around the clock to help them grow big and strong. 💪

Help us prep for kitten season! We are getting all our supplies together to make sure we are ready to help as many of the tiny kittens as best we can! Help us prep by checking out our wish lists on Amazon and Chewy!

We also wanted to do a reminder to Don’t Kit-nap Kittens! Our instincts when stumbling upon newborn kittens is often that we need to scoop them up and get them somewhere warm and safe; however most of the time the mom is away hunting and will return soon. Kittens have the best chance of survival when with their moms (unless the kittens are sick/injured needing medical attention). We love Pesto and Balsamic, but also know they would have had better chances if they were able to stay with their mom instead of with us even though we give them our all.

Found kittens? Do not bring them to a shelter - instead, wait for mom to return first! If she does not return for 8 hours (or if the kittens are sick or injured), let’s work together to help them!

🐱 Adoption Update 🐱 Persephone came to us back in 2021 after a community member found her abandoned at a construction site in New River. Luckily the community member got her to safety and into a foster home with us where she ended up being one of our favorite types of adoption - which we jokingly call a “Foster Fail” 😝 meaning her foster fell so much in love with her she couldn’t give her up. Her foster home turned into her forever home. 🏡 Persephone is thriving with her adopted brother Nitrous (they absolutely adore each other as you can see in the photos ❤️).

Recently our pups got a special treat from Joytale ❤️🐾 SOUL Fosters and SOUL Alumni loved their new enrichment items, leashes and adorable sweaters! We are so thankful for a community that supports our program and makes saving and enriching these pets lives possible.

✨ Foster Feature ✨ Wallaby is an adorable fella. He was born with deformed forelimbs and EXTRA toe beans! His abnormalities do not slow him down in the slightest though and he still scales the cat tree all the way to the top. He loves observing from his 6ft post. He is a quiet man, who wants attention on his terms- he will let you know when he needs the attention and when he would rather just relax alone. He needs a bit of a slow introduction to other cats in the home so he can feel most comfortable. He is not a huge fan of dogs. He wouldn’t mind being the only the pet in the home either if that means he can be the king of the house.

He is estimated to be 4.5 years old (as of 1/2024) (Estimated birthdate is 08/23/2019) and is:
-Neutered
-Microchipped
-Vaccinated (up to date for their age)
-Dewormed
-Come with a lifetime supply of love

Meet Pumpkin! 🎃 We think she is a rottie-corgi mix. She weighs about 40 pounds (but she is a bit overweight). Pumpkin is a silly, sweet, happy girl who is not slowed down by her joints! She has a luxating patella and mild hip dysplasia. Her joints are likely the result of poor breeding practices, but her condition can be relatively easily well managed. She does have intermittent lameness - this lameness is caused by her patella (knee cap) popping out place, which causes her to then skip/hop to “kick” it back into place. This doesn’t appear to be painful for her, just more awkward looking than anything haha. She recovers quickly and then is back to trotting on her thick but short legs! She may not ever be a marathon runner, but she can happily enjoy a normal dog life and would love to be your couch potato buddy. There are surgical options to repair/stabilize the knee caps; however our veterinarians have come to the conclusion that the best course of action at this time would actually be weight loss (as she is a bit chunky and a lean body weight would take pressure off her joints helping her mobility) and joint supplements to support her joint health as she is not severely affected (she is using the leg well the majority of the time and there is no muscle loss) and she is not painful. She isn’t phased by her knee and even hops up easily on to the couch for snuggles. She is super sweet, loves to give kisses and cuddle. And she is even very well behaved for car rides. Could she be your next best friend?

She is estimated to be 1 year old (as of 2/2024) (Estimated birthdate is 02/08/2023) and is:
-Spayed
-Microchipped
-Vaccinated (up to date for their age)
-Dewormed
-Come with a lifetime supply of love

Looking for for the perfect cuddle buddy? Look no further! Lola's photos might convince you into thinking she's a large breed, but don't be fooled - she's just a pint sized pup (around 30 pounds!) whose favorite pastime is cuddling. Our favorite things about her is the way she instantly melts into everyone's arms and her quirky little tail that does the cutest wag and butt shake when she's excited. Lola has a knack for making instant friends, whether they're two-legged or four and she loves her dog and cat friends equally! She enjoys napping, sunbathing, and going out on walks and is looking for someone to match her mellow energy.

Lola is crate trained and is working on her potty training, but has been a fast learner! She has a food allergy, which requires her to be on a strict diet, but is a perfectly healthy and happy pup as long as she remains on her special hydrolyzed protein kibble (which she always gobbles up quickly).

Lola is about 10 months old (estimated birthday of 4/11/23) (as of 2/24) and is:
-Spayed
-Microchipped
-Vaccinated (up to date for their age)
-Dewormed
-Come with a lifetime supply of love

This cutie is looking for her forever home. She came in as a stray puppy so we are not sure what her breed makeup is, given she’s only 8pounds, we are assuming she’s a small breed mix but can make no guarantees on how she’ll grow!

Penelope is the star of the show in her foster home. She is spunky, happy, and a little snuggle bug with all of her foster siblings. She’s always in the mood to play and is go-go-go. She’d make a great companion to most homes looking for an energetic pup! She’s currently working on potty training and is getting the hang of it quickly but will need continued training in her new home.

She is spayed and up to date on her vaccinations for her age. She has done great in her foster home, making friends with dogs and cats- she would likely do well with your furry family members with a slow introduction!

She is estimated to be 2.5-3 months old (estimated birthday is 11/15/2023) and is:
-Spayed
-Microchipped
-Vaccinated (up to date for their age)
-Dewormed
-Come with a lifetime supply of love
