Penelope was rescued from the streets of Ensenada in March 2022. She was very fortunate to have a long-term foster family, who provided her with a loving and stable environment. She transferred to her new foster dad in October 2024 and she continued to live within a loving and stable home. However, our dream was that she would evenually find a loving forever home of her own. Penny is FIV+ and even though kitties like her can live long and healthy lives, she was often overlooked. She waited a long time to find her forever home and she was finally adopted in January 2025! Now she is living her best life! We are over the moon to get this "purrfect" update from her adoptive mom:
"Penelope is doing great! She's settled in perfectly with no issues, and she seems to know that she's finally home. :) She has turned into quite the velcro cat, and she loves following me around the house wherever I go. She likes to lie as close to me as possible or just directly on me! Penny loves looking out the window, taking naps in the sun, and playing with her favorite feather toy. I feel very lucky that I was the one to adopt her, she's one of the best cats I've ever had already."
Sunny (fka Phoenix) has had a challenging journey, but now she is home at last! She was originally named Sabina and was adopted in 2018 as a young adult kitty. Unfortunately, her original adopters let her down and rehomed her without contacting ARWOB. She was eventually rehomed again and we found out she spent 3 years living in a dark solitary room, neglected and suffering from a flea infestation. Thankfully she was rescued and brought to a local animal shelter who scanned her chip and contacted ARWOB. She spent time with an ARWOB foster family recovering from her ordeal and getting her health back. We renamed her Phoenix because she "rose from the ashes" and now she has found the loving forever home she deserves! She is delighted to be in her new home and has blossomed to be the beautiful fluffy girl she once was. She can now enjoy her golden years living her best life. Her new adoptive mom just adores her and shared this wonderful update with us. Sometimes dreams do come true and there is a happy ending!!
"She is doing wonderful. Her new name is Sunny… and she loves food, treats, and is a bit of a Velcro cat. She follows me around and jumps into bed with me. Even sleeps under the covers at my hip. She loves to play, sunbathe, eat her cat grass and stare out the front door at people walking by. She’s a sweet little thing and is an absolute joy to have. She had some dental work done and had a couple teeth removed. She healed well and the vet says her overall health is very good! Her coat is coming in more and she’s gotten even more floofy :) Sunny is the best little roommate I could ask for. I adore her. Thanks for checking in." :)
Pip was adopted in October 2024 and he is really living the good life with his adoptive family. What a lucky boy!!
"Pip is the sweetest boy. He is really smart and loves his toys and snuggling. He loves to go on walks and lay outside on the deck. He has been a great addition to the household and we love him very much."
Rocco (fka Phantom) was adopted in November 2024. He is living his best life with his new family! Here is what his adoptive mom has to say about him:
Thanks for checking in. Rocco (formerly Phantom) is doing great! He’s almost 7 months now and about 25 lbs. He’s super sweet and cuddly but also playful and very energetic. We did some training and he can sit, stay, come, leave it, and go to his crate. We’re starting more training next week, as he’s been a menace on the leash but we are getting there!
Mavis (fka Princess) was adopted in September 2024. She is enjoying her new life and has become best friends with her canine companion Juno! Here is what her family has to say:
"Princess is now Mavis, and she is truly an amazing dog! She and the other pup, Juno, are the best sisters ever. Mavis is getting super comfortable and is thriving with us. She is a quick learner and getting used to the schedule. Thanks so much!!"
