Rest assured that Riff will grow into his ears. While he is currently in his “gangly” teenage phase of kitten development, he has all the promise of growing into the sleek house panther that he is.

Already in place are his smooth black coat and lightening fast responses to wand toys and plastic springs as they skitter across the floor. But one thing that won’t ever be like a panther is his level of affection for humans. Riff is so excited to be near his people that he makes his biscuits on the couch while standing next to you - purring like a chain saw the entire time because he is so thrilled to have your undivided attention.

Though he loves people, Riff would do best in a home with another friendly and playful cat buddy. He has a lot of energy that is best burned with another feline companion. Older children in the home who know how to handle kitties properly are ok, but he would prefer there to be no dogs.

Riff is fully vetted, was born approximately May 2026, has an adoption fee of $120, and can be adopted outside the immediate Tulsa area. Apply online here (please read all requirements prior to applying): https://arftulsa.wufoo.com/forms/arf-cat-adoption-application/

Double the zoomies, double the mischief, and double the cuddles! Bogart and Humphrey are bonded brothers who do just about everything together. These rambunctious boys play hard, love hard, and are looking for a family ready to keep up with them!

Bogart is the pleasantly plump brother with the adorable black triangle nose. He loves laser pointers, springs, puff balls, climbing, and racing through the house. He also enjoys being brushed, getting treats, and soaking up attention. Once he burns off that kitten energy, Bogart is a total lap cat who loves pets and cuddles.

Humphrey is the smaller brother, possibly the runt of his litter, with a handsome tuxedo coat and white chin. What he lacks in size, he makes up for in energy! Humphrey loves laser pointers, springs, puff balls, and anything fun. He’s also a huge lover who adores pets, cuddles, and being brushed with a slicker brush.

Better Together! These two truly are peas in a pod and must be adopted together. They need plenty of interactive play, toys, climbing opportunities, and enrichment to keep them entertained. Once they finally wear themselves out, they’re more than happy to trade their zoomies for lap time.

Both boys would do well with other cats and cat-friendly dogs when properly introduced. Their experience with children is unknown. Bogart and Humphrey are ready to bring twice the fun and twice the love to one lucky family. And to sweeten the deal, ARF Tulsa offers reduced adoption fees when you adopt a pair!

Bogart and Humphrey were born approximately June 2026 and have a combined adoption fee of $180. Apply online here (please read all requirements prior to applying): https://arftulsa.wufoo.com/forms/arf-cat-adoption-application/

Meet Your Future Best Friend! Riverside is a handsome brown tabby with an incredibly gentle heart. This sweet boy has a special way with other cats and loves grooming, cuddling, and spending time with his feline friends. If you already have a friendly cat looking for a companion, Riverside could be a wonderful match, although he can also be happy as your one and only.

Riverside is playful and affectionate and loves getting attention from his people. He’ll happily soak up pets and enjoys playtime, especially romping through a pop-up tent, batting around springs, and having fun with catnip. He prefers keeping all four paws on the ground rather than being picked up, but he’ll seek you out when he’s ready for affection.

Riverside is a sensitive soul, so sudden movements, lots of activity, and busy environments can be overwhelming for him. He would thrive in a calm, patient home without children where he can settle in at his own pace and build trust. Because the hustle and bustle of an adoption center would be stressful for him, Riverside is much more comfortable meeting potential adopters in a quieter setting.

Riverside does well with other cats when properly introduced. His experience with dogs is unknown. Once he feels safe and comfortable, you’ll discover a sweet, loyal companion with so much love to give. If you’re looking for a gentle boy who will appreciate a peaceful home and return your patience with affection, Riverside may be your perfect match.

Riverside is fully vetted, was born approximately May 2024, has an adoption fee of $90, and can be adopted outside the immediate Tulsa area. Apply online here (please read all requirements prior to applying): https://arftulsa.wufoo.com/forms/arf-cat-adoption-application/

Thumper is Everyone's Best Friend.

This sweet black kitten loves just about everyone he meets. Friendly, curious, and endlessly affectionate, Thumper is happiest when he's surrounded by people or other cats. If there's an empty lap nearby, chances are he'll decide it's his.

His playful personality shines through in everything he does. He loves climbing cat trees, chasing wand toys, batting at strings, wrestling with his siblings, and investigating absolutely everything around him—including water. Whether it's a sink, a water bowl, or even the shower, Thumper can't resist checking it out.

After all that excitement, he's more than ready for cuddle time. Thumper loves being held like a baby, melts for chest rubs, and enjoys curling up beside both people and feline friends for a well-earned nap. His gentle, affectionate nature makes him one of those kittens who seems to fit in almost anywhere.

He has excellent litter box habits, eats both wet and dry food, travels well in a carrier, and has remained healthy throughout foster care. He enjoys treats and the occasional pinch of catnip, and like many kittens his age, he sometimes gives gentle little play nibbles that he'll naturally outgrow.

Thumper gets along wonderfully with all cats and would be equally happy joining a home with another cat or adopted alongside one of his siblings. While he hasn't met dogs or children yet, his outgoing personality suggests he'll adjust well with patient introductions.

Thumper shares a close bond with Flower and Bambi. ARF Tulsa offers reduced adoption fees for kitten pairs because kittens raised together develop healthy social skills. If adopted separately, Thumper will need another young, playful cat in his forever home. Thumper would be a wonderful match for someone looking for an outgoing, affectionate kitten who greets every day—and every person—with excitement.

Thumper is fully vetted, was born approximately April 2026, has an adoption fee of $120, and can be adopted outside the immediate Tulsa area. Apply online here (please read all requirements prior to applying): https://arftulsa.wufoo.com/forms/arf-cat-adoption-application/

🐾❤️ A WEEK OF HAPPY BEGINNINGS, HEAVY HEARTS, AND FOREVER LOVE ❤️🐾

Rescue is full of moments that make our hearts soar and moments that remind us just how deeply we care. This week at ARF, we experienced a little of both.

🏡 11 CATS AND DOGS FOUND THEIR FOREVER HOMES! 🎉

Eleven precious lives began a brand-new chapter this week, and we couldn't be more grateful to the families who opened their hearts and homes. Thank you to our adopters, fosters, volunteers, donors, and supporters who make these happy endings possible. Every adoption is a reason to celebrate! ❤️🐶🐱

💔 Some weeks bring difficult news, too.

This week, two previously adopted dogs returned to ARF. While returns are never easy, we are here for these animals, and we will continue working to find the right homes for them. Every dog deserves patience, compassion, and the chance to find a family where they can truly thrive.

🌈 Remembering Bean 🌈

We also said goodbye to our beloved Bean, a longtime hospice dog who finally crossed the Rainbow Bridge after a long battle with his health.

Bean was loved, cared for, and given comfort through his journey. Hospice care is a special kind of love — choosing to stand beside an animal, even when the road is difficult, and making sure they never have to face it alone.

To Airyn, Bean's foster, we are sending so much love and gratitude. Thank you for opening your heart to Bean, for caring for him through his health struggles, and for giving him the gift of love and comfort. The compassion you showed him matters more than words can express. ❤️🌈

This is the reality of rescue. There are joyful goodbyes as animals leave for their forever homes, unexpected setbacks, and heartbreaking losses. Through it all, we keep showing up because every life matters.

Thank you to everyone who stands with ARF through the celebrations and the hard days. Your support allows us to keep caring, keep trying, and keep giving animals the love they deserve.

11 adoptions. Two dogs who need another chance. One very special soul we will never forget. 🐾❤️

Rest peacefully, Bean. You were loved. 🌈
