PACC Fosters Need You

09/06/2026

❤️ FOSTERED ❤️
Arizona is proof that sometimes the best dogs come in cat bodies! This little guy may look like an older kitten, but his personality is BIG. He’s busy, curious, and absolutely convinced that everyone he meets is a new best friend. Arizona has never met a stranger—he’s always happy to see you, ready to get involved, and, yes… he even barks! 😹

Arizona came to us from a hoarding situation with 27 other cats, and despite everything he’s been through, he’s still a friendly, outgoing little guy with so much personality. Right now, he’s dealing with some tummy troubles and nasal congestion, so he’s looking for a special foster, pre-adopter, or adopter who is willing to see past his current hot-mess status and choose him for the wonderful cat he is underneath it all.

Arizona may need a little extra patience and care right now, but what he really needs is someone who looks at this small, slightly chaotic, incredibly charming cat and says, “Yep. You’re mine.”

UPDATE: 9/5 transferred to rescue
Meet Barney, a 13-year-old girl who has officially entered her cozy old-lady era. She’s a medium-haired beauty who recently had to get a full “naked makeover” after years of matting—so right now she’s rocking the practical, low-maintenance look while her floof grows back.

Barney’s owner passed away, and after losing the person she knew and loved, she’s understandably looking for a soft place to land. She has some old-lady arthritis, so she’s not looking to climb mountains or run marathons. Her ideal day involves good food, comfortable accommodations, and absolutely zero unnecessary exertion.

Speaking of food: Barney LOVES her squeezies. Bring one of those little tubes and suddenly Grandma has places to be! When she’s not enjoying her snacks, she can usually be found burrowing underneath her blankies like a tiny furry retiree who has decided that the outside world is simply too much today.

Barney has lived with other cats and would love a home where she can settle in at her own pace. She’s a senior girl who has lost her person and now needs someone willing to give her the comfort, patience, and security she deserves.

I'm going to give it to you straight...cats need help. In the past 3 weeks we have taken 2 unexpected impounds of 20 and 27. We are going to another impound today. We need to place some of the medical and behavioral cats in foster so we can focus on the needs of the new impound of sick cats that are coming in.

Medical Cat Foster Priorities 08/09/26
Medical Foster Homes provide a safe place for pets to heal while marketing for adoption. Medical follow ups are provided by the PACC clinic.

C055 Cosmo 905639 6yo: Cosmo was owner surrendered for a urinary blockage. He now eats a rx diet to reduce crystals forming in the urinary tract. He needs a foster that can exclusively feed him his urinary diet and market him for adoption from home.

CATICU Jax 906416 4yo: Jax is a really big guy---19 pounds of big. He does not like to share his space with other animals but has done well with kids in the past. Due to his size and dislike of feline friends, he is at risk for losing weight too fast and damaging his liver. He needs a foster home without other pets who can monitor his weight/eating and market him for adoption from home.

OFFICE Princess 906196 9yo: Princess is also 19 pounds of really big cat. Due to her size, she is at risk for losing weight too fast and damaging her liver. She needs a foster home who can monitor her weight/eating and market her for adoption from home.

C101 Boris 906550 15wk: Boris has a kitty cold and a bad eye. We don't know yet what the outcome will be for the eye, but he is a kitten that needs out of the shelter for now.

C104 Pixie Fire 907101 11wk: Pixie Fire has little to no vision and has a kitty virus. This virus is contagious to other cats so she must be kept separate.

There are also cats in our ICU that might be ready to transition to foster. Email [email protected] if you can help.

Traditional Cat Foster Priorities 08/09/26

Traditional Foster Homes provide a safe place for pets to decompress and reinforce social behaviors while marketing for adoption. If you can help, go to the foster office to talk to a foster coordinator.

MM Leo 903071 2yo: Leo is a guy that loves to play. He was likely raised as a singleton kitten and likes to use his paws to explore the world. He needs a cat savvy foster who can market him to the right home for adoption.

C40 Ronny 864255 3yo: Ronny is an undersocialized cat from a group of four. He needs his own room to acclimate to the home, work on continued socialization and report on his behavior to make the best placement decision.

C056 Johnny 905275 8mo: Johnny is an undersocialized cat from a group of four. He needs his own room to acclimate to the home, work on continued socialization and report on his behavior to make the best placement decision.

PT Hannah Banana 902662 5yo: Hannah Banana is not a happy banana in the shelter. She needs a foster home with her own room where she can decompress at her own pace and be marketed for adoption.

HS Uma 828448 10yo: Uma prefers MALE hoomans and being the only cat. Uma is currently taking kitty behavior meds in her food to help her cope better. She is a stunning and affectionate cat…for the right male purrson.

If you can't foster, please share this post. We will also be posting a list of needed supplies. Thank you for your support

04/23 💔💔 Ren has been handed more than any kitty should have to deal with....FeLV+, stomatitis and calici. Despite all of this and the obvious discomfort, she's just so loving and appreciative of any affection you can show her. She's eating very well and is so excited to get a warm breakfast and disc every morning. Ren loves to get a gentle scratch and will reward you with the most grateful purrs you've ever heard. I know there are few people that will have a spot for a kitty in this condition, but if you can provide her with a safe and comfortable place please come and meet her. She's on a few medications which will be provided....you just add the love!! Videos in comments so you can see just how sweet she really is.
