Sweets (now known as Cinders) came to ARWOB from the streets of Mexico, along with her 4 kittens. The kittens found their forever homes right away, but Sweets waited patiently for nearly 9 months to find her forever family. She was adopted in February 2022 and her new mom has provided a lovely update about her:
"We LOVE our black kitty Sweets, now called Cinders. She is absolutely adorable, fun, vocal and the most friendly kitty. We waited a few years to adopt after our last black cat Kittyman had to be put to sleep at 18.5 years old due to kidney disease (and 8 years of subcutaneous hydrations). I was not sure I could ever love another cat as much as I had loved Kittyman. Cinders was well worth the wait though, and my husband and I could not love her more! We are so grateful ARWOB found her and fostered her all these months. It just breaks our heart to think that last year Cinders was a Mexican street cat with 4 kitties. She is doing quite well although she did have a health problem that we fixed, but all is good now thanks to our long time vet. We appreciate that foster Alondra has been very helpful and responsive in giving us Sweets' medical history and had good recommendations as well. Thanks to Sidney too who was very helpful during the interview process. Here is a recent photo of Cinders/Sweets. As you can see, Cinders is certainly relaxed and is Queen of the House!"
Pistachio (now known as Fawkes) was adopted in February 2022. We received a sweet update from his adoptive mom and here is what she had to say about him:
"We adopted Fawkes (formerly Pistachio) in February of this year. He bonded instantly with my daughter, spending all his kitten naps snuggling her as she read books to him. Our other cat, Vesuvius, bonded to him in a way she never had to any other cats we owned or fostered. In just 4 days they were playing and snuggling like they’d been together all along. He is the sweetest little man who follows us around the house like a dog and gets into all kinds of shenanigans, like insisting on “saving” people from the “evil” water in the shower."
We received a sweet update about Betty (fka Blossom) and Felix (fka Mojo Jojo). They were adopted together as a pair in February 2022. Here is what their adoptive mom had to say about them:
"We've renamed them Felix and Betty and we adore them! They're the perfect additions to our family. My fiance is just obsessed with them! Thank you so much for letting us adopt them. They've been a wonderful addition to our little family and they've been so wonderful for both me and my fiance’s mental health.”

Luna (fka Lady) was adopted in February 2022. We just received a wonderful "pupdate" about her from her adoptive mom. Here is what she had to say:
"Luna is doing well. We are currently in training now through Petco and she has been picking it up. She is still very reactive on a leash but we are taking steps to help her feel more comfortable in different situations."
