Meet Arizona, a charming senior tuxedo cat with a gentle heart and a resilient spirit. Life on the streets left her tiny and fragile as a kitten, but she’s come a long way since then. Arizona bounced back from dental issues—today, she enjoys both wet and dry food, even with a few missing teeth. She isn’t one to rush into things, preferring to quietly observe and settle in on her own terms. At first, she might greet a new face with a hiss if she’s startled, but there’s no malice in her, just a need for patience and respect. Arizona thrives in a peaceful home, savoring gentle pets and cozy hideaways. She gets along well with other animals, from dogs to cats and even fish, and she’s content with simple pleasures like catnip or a good scratching post. Arizona is FIV+, but her calm manners and appreciation for a safe, loving environment make her a truly rewarding companion. She does well in homes where trust is built slowly and quietly—a perfect fit for someone patient and kind. This sweet, shy girl is hoping for a calm forever home where she can unwind at her own pace and enjoy the love she’s always deserved. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
