Meet Frosty
This handsome man has been waiting for his special person. He's a Netflix and chill kind of guy and loves to cuddle. He gives the sweetest hugs and nose bops, has lovely manners, and does well with kids. He is about 5 years old.

Frosty sadly tested positive for Feline Leukemia. All he wants is a family who he can love, and who will love him for the amazing boy that he is. He thrives on being with people. Right now he is not showing any symptoms, and he is available either for adoption or as a long term foster cat.

FeLV is not a type of cancer. It's a virus that causes a weaker immune system and often a shorter life-span. For the most part, Frosty is just like any other cat. ARSI provides FeLV-related treatment and support post-adoption and waives the adoption fee unless you wish to make a donation to help him and others like him. He has lived with other cats in the past and likes kitty friends. He should only live with other FeLV+ cats, and gentle dogs and other animals are just fine!

Contact [email protected] to learn more about Frosty.

ARSI's cats are spayed/neutered, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, and tested for FeLV and FIV prior to adoption.

Meet Ruth
Say hello to Ruth, a 5-month-old kitten who is full of personality and ready to share all her love with you! Ruth is an affectionate, playful little girl who loves people more than anything. Whether she’s chasing a toy, playing fetch (yes, really!), or simply curling up next to you for a nap, Ruth is always ready to be the life of the party or the calm presence by your side.

Ruth is friendly with other cats, and she is also perfectly happy hanging out on her own and playing with her toys. She does a great job entertaining herself! And we'll say it again - she is an expert at the game of fetch, so be prepared to have multiple toy mice dropped at your feet. She’s a curious, happy kitten, making her the perfect addition to any home looking for a sweet and playful companion.

Ruth is currently in a foster home. Contact [email protected] if you are interested in her!

Please consider donating today **through PayPal** to help the ARSI cats! As most of you know, ARSI is an all-volunteer nonprofit rescue. We are a small group of volunteers who are dedicated to helping in areas where there are few places people can turn. We rescue around 100 cats every year, get them the medical care that they need, and find them homes. It's not an exaggeration to say that many of these cats would not have otherwise survived.

This is Ruth, she is ready for her forever home, and she is one of those kitties! She was found as a tiny baby in the middle of the road with a horrible upper respiratory infection. It took **months** to clear it and several rounds of three different antibiotics. Her fosters sat up with her through the night with steam treatments so she could breathe. Now she has tons of energy to run and play fetch, her favorite game!

Your gift has a huge impact, and 100% is used for the animals! You can donate here: https://www.paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/3325241

NO turkey skin either - can cause serious pancreatitis

Just give your dogs and cats their normal food, DO NOT add stuffing/dressing, dressed up green beans, fats and sweets.
