Scheduled Adoption Events

Allie Mae had a difficult journey and we are extremely happy that she is doing SO well with her new family, who opened their hearts and their home to Allie in October 2022.  She was originally named Tasmin and had been adopted from ARWOB as a kitten in 2015.  Unfortunately, she was abandoned at a local San Diego shelter by her family.  They said they were moving, but we discovered they abandoned her because she had bladder stones and was in dire need to veterinary care, which ARWOB immediately provided, including surgery.  She made a full recovery and now she is living her best life with her new family!  Here is what her adoptive mom has to say about her:

"We love Allie (we just call her Allie) so much! She is such a sweet cat! She settled in immediately. She is so comfortable and outgoing. She loves to sleep on my lap and sleep on the bed at night. I meal feed her twice a day and she gets pretty vocal. Her foster, Pam, had taught her how to give high fives. I plan on teaching her more soon as she is very food motivated. She loves to look out the window at the wild birds."

Eve (fka Jackie) was adopted in September 2022.  We are so happy to hear that she found her "purrfect" forever home!  Here is what her adoptive mom has to say about her:

"We renamed Jackie to Eve and she is thriving! She loves her playtime which include pouncing on a wand toy under a blanket, and chasing a laser from corner to corner of the house, and will loudly announce her excitement when it’s time for her daily wet food. When winding down at night we usually watch a little tv before bed, and Eve will happily curl up on my partners lap and fall fast asleep. Usually she’s too comfortable to follow us to bed, but she does get lonely around 2/3am and will creep downstairs and slide in under the covers and curl up into the soft of my stomach until the morning. The morning is her favorite time of day. As soon as one of us is awake she rushes over to give an abundance of kisses on our hands, feet, face, anywhere she can access, and will chirp loudly until we return her affection with lots of pets and kisses. She happily bounds up the stairs and will follow me to my yoga mat where I spend 20 minutes stretching, and she spends 20 minutes trying to get in my way (and lick my toes). Eve is the most social, most loving, and happiest kitty I’ve ever met and I am so grateful she has joined our lives."

We received a "pupdate" about Odie (fka Mocha) who was adopted in September 2022.  Here is what his adoptive mom has to say about him:

"Odie (formerly Mocha) has settled in here very nicely (pictured sleeping with his ball), and he’s learned a lot by watching his older sister Mandy (Mandy is in the pink collar, at first that was the only way we could tell them apart)…he’s come a long way, though he still has a couple of ‘puppy’ behaviors we’re continuing to work on with him (we are the trainers). He’s getting to know the neighbors, and he’s learning who and what to bark at instead of barking at EVERYthing! We were a bit surprised when we brought him to the Vet for his first check-up in mid-September, and they told us they thought he was likely part Great Dane – but we haven’t been surprised since then, because he’s already as big as our 7-year-old Mandy!! He’s a good boy, he’s smart, and he is definitely in his forever home. Thank you for all that you do at ARWOB for these 4-legged fur babies – God bless you guys."

Sometimes miracles do happen! This rescue story is very special, not only because these two ARWOB kitties had a rough start, but because Red was adopted in April 2022 and then Rigatoni joined the same lovely family in September 2022. We just love repeat adopters! The cherry on the top is that their adoptive mom also became one of ARWOB’s lovely kitty volunteers!

Red had been rescued by a good Samaritan, who found him lying in his back yard. ARWOB was eventually contacted and we took him under our care. It was later discovered that Red had an old pelvic fracture that had somehow healed on its own. He was not a candidate for surgery at that point and it was determined he was not in pain and was able to move around on his own. Red’s adoptive mom was touched by his story and found him to be super sweet. She started a foster-to-adopt trial in March and and finalized his adoption in April.

Rigatoni also had a very rough start! He came under ARWOB’s care along with his 6 kitten siblings when they were only a few weeks old and less than 200 grams. Rigs was diagnosed with FIP in late 2021. He was successfully treated and fully recovered, thanks to the new treatment options that are now available for this condition (ARWOB was determined to help Rigatoni beat FIP and we raised funds to treat him). Rigs waited over a year to find his “purrfect” forever family and we are so glad he waited! He joined his loving family in September and now lives the good life!

Red and Rigatoni joined the household with their feline companion Mouse and their adoptive mom has said all 3 kitties are living happily together. Their adoptive mom sent us these cute photos of Red and Rigs showing how they have become BFFs over the last several months. Yup! Miracles sometimes do happen!
