Bella’s adoption story: Angels are often disguised in different forms and animals can be earth angels, pointing us to a path of loyalty, optimism, faith, joy, hope and love. Bella helped me through losing my Brother. She is truly my angel.

Since childhood, I’ve been fascinated by all kinds of animals. But kitties, especially, have always brightened my days in so many ways. When I adopted Bella she weighed only 2lbs 13oz, came with preset auto-purr installed, and she found her forever home with me. Who would believe such pleasure could come from a wee ball of fur. The first time I set eyes on this little silver tabby I fell in love instantly and decided Bella, which means “beautiful” in Italian was the best name for her. Everyday Bella exudes warm happiness and love, proof that what the heart gives away is never gone, it is kept in the hearts of others. Mother Teresa said “We can do no great things, only small things with great love.”

Adopt and love a shelter pet. In saving an animal’s life, you may even save your own. Bella’s love has given me the strength to bounce back from difficult challenges. She is an angel. She was rescued from Fearless Kity Rescue which is an amazing organization in Fountain Hills that I will always be grateful for. Bella, found motherless and starving in a field with her siblings (by Fearless Kitty Rescue), makes me realize I have to be the survivor she is, resilient and possessing a bulletproof spirit. She helped me through the grief of losing my brother after he passed suddenly and unexpectedly from a heart attack. Thankfully I had Bella to help me through that grief and she is truly my angel. Love her with all my heart.

About Fearless Kitty Rescue: We are an all-volunteer rescue group who save cats and kittens. Our volunteers are committed and passionate about what they do! We are always looking for individuals who love cats and kittens and want to make a difference in our community by volunteering.

Zippy’s Adoption Story: Oh, my sweet friend Zippy! I first met Zippy while volunteering on a Sunday morning at New Beginnings Animal Rescue in East Brunswick NJ. He had just arrived and was in the Sunshine Room, where cats are kept due to illness or to recover from surgery. Turns out that even though Zippy was about 4-years-old, he had not been neutered until he arrived at our rescue and he was recovering. Zippy was so skinny and incredibly nervous. I didn’t even see him at first. He had been allowed to freely move about the small room and was peeking out from behind some boxes. When I reached out my finger, he did lean over to sniff me, but I could tell he was skittish, so I just talked to him quietly and went about my tasks. When it was time to eat though…Wow! This cat plowed through his breakfast like he hadn’t eaten in days. Unfortunately, because he ate so fast, most of it came back up. I later found out he had come from a hoarding situation and I wondered if that was why he ate so ravenously. Did he have to fight to get his share of food in his previous home? When I went home, I told my family all about Zippy.

Zippy soon made his way to the main adoption room and I was able to see him every Sunday. He would scream at me through the bars until I served his breakfast. When I let him out, he would jump from his upper cage to a lower cabinet and back again. Very quickly, back and forth, back and forth. True to his name!

Zippy would let me pet him and his purrs were more like very loud trills. I had never heard a cat purr like this before. I would go home after my shift every week and tell my family all about Zippy. I couldn’t stop thinking about him and I couldn’t wait to see him again. Maybe he would get adopted soon but so far there hadn’t been any serious inquiries. After some convincing, (my family was worried how our resident solo cat would react) I brought my husband to meet him and Zippy came home with us as a “foster to adopt” in June 2017. I was so excited! We were going to have some fun #catdaysofsummer.

Zippy hid in our basement for 4 days. He was so scared. I would sit quietly on the basement floor and he would gingerly come out from his hiding spot so I could pet him and give him treats. Then he would run away and hide. Lots of time and patience‚ and treats‚ and Zippy eventually joined us in the rest of the house for longer stretches. Our older cat Ringo wasn’t overly fond of this new addition, but the two boys learned to peacefully co-exist. We would occasionally catch them napping side by side as if the whole “not getting along thing‚” was just an act.

Within a couple of months, we officially adopted Zippy and he has been with us for six years. He is still anxious, especially where loud noises, heavy footsteps and visitors are concerned and will find refuge in the basement. He still eats too fast, but we use a full-size dinner plate to slow him down. I do wonder, however, if we should change his name to “NotSoZippy.” He has put on a few pounds and spends most of his days moving from one comfortable blanket or cat bed to another.

I am so thankful that I met this nervous, sweet, quirky Zippy cat and that I couldn’t stop thinking about him. He captured my heart from the first time we met!

About New Beginnings Animal Rescue: The mission of New Beginnings Animal Rescue (NBAR) is to provide a safe haven for homeless animals through meeting their medical, physical and emotional needs. We accomplish this mission by matching homeless animals with qualified loving adopters; providing daily essentials for residents to alleviate financial burdens of pet ownership

Gabe’s adoption story: I adopted Gabe from Hobo’s Home Inc. and he is my #catdaysofsummer entry! Gabriel was originally found, along with the rest of his litter, living in a basement crawl space. He had a rough start in life but still looked quite angelic hence his name! Gabriel is adorable, playful, and was the most vocal even though he was the runt of his litter! He can most likely be credited with saving his litter by coming out of the crawl space and screaming for help after his mother had been trapped in order to be spayed. He was only about 3-weeks-old at the time! Because he did that, he alerted the TNR volunteers that there was a litter of kittens in hiding! After being rescued, he was raised by his mom at the rescue until he was old enough to be adopted out! Today, Gabe is a happy, healthy, spoiled boy who enjoys playtime and nap time as a pampered house cat! I’m including the original picture of him when he was first found so you can see how small he was!

About Hobo’s Home: We are a small, nonprofit 501c3 rescue that has the goal to home and re-home at-risk cats as well as provide TNR and Spay and Neuter Assistance to individuals who can’t afford it. We work with other animal rescue groups to prevent cruelty and neglect to animals and to assure lifetime safe and secure homes to at-risk animals, primarily cats.

Thanksgiving flew by, Black Friday felt like a split second, and Cyber Monday was over in the blink of an eye. The end of the year is officially here and now that we know exactly what we’re grateful for and spent a bunch on gifts for our loved ones, Giving Tuesday is here to remind us to also help others. Today is all about giving and doing something for those in need.

There are plenty of ways you can show your philanthropic side – and many causes you can support, though we’re especially fond of those that help homeless animals. A lot of people choose to donate to their favorite non-profit, but there are a lot of other ways you can give back. No matter how you choose to participate, your kind acts make a difference.

We’ve put together simple ways you can show up on Giving Tuesday (some of which don’t even require spending any money).

 Share a Pet

Imagine what a gift it would be to help a pet find a forever home for the holidays! Head to Adopt-a-Pet.com, search adoptable pets in your area, find one you’d like to share, and click the Facebook or Twitter icon in the middle of the page to post to your social media. You can also screenshot a pet photo and share to Instagram or IG stories. This year your share will do more than help advertise a specific pet, your quick upload could provide a shelter or rescue with much needed moolah! We’ve teamed up with our sister brand Wisdom Panel for a Giving Tuesday Share-a-Thon. All you have to do is tag @adoptapetcom and @wisdompanel when you share a pet. The Wisdom Panel team will pick one winner at random and donate $5,000 to the organization caring for the pet they shared. (Bonus: the winner will also get a free pet DNA test). Start searching for pets to share here.

 Adopt or Foster a Pet

There are little things more rewarding than saving a life, and the cute faces and snuggles pets provide certainly are an easy sell. If you have the money and time to take in a companion animal, adopting and/or fostering will certainly make a difference on an individual level. Signing up to foster also relieves some of the stress animals go through when they’re in a shelter environment and allows them to relax while they wait for their forever homes. Every adopted or fostered pet also helps shelters and rescues open up space for more pets in need.

 Donate

Animal welfare organizations can always benefit from donations, whether it’s a monetary contribution or in-kind donations such as towels, blankets, and newspapers, shelters and rescues could use your help. You can find your favorite organization’s donate page on their website or search for local shelters near you here and call ahead to ask what products they may need. If you’re donating specific items you can coordinate drop off to a facility or purchase products through an organization’s Wish List!

Lending a helping hand doesn’t have to be time consuming or difficult! With these 3 simple ideas, you’ll be making the world a better place for homeless pets sooner than you thought was possible.

Is there a better time of year to spoil your loved ones than the holidays? You may have already grabbed some presents for the humans in your life, but why not make it a howliday season?! 

Let’s face it, our pets like to be included in everything we do, so why not give them a gift and have them join in the celebrations. Whether you have a super special pup, cat, teeny tiny critter, or horse in your life, there’s something out there for everyone. We’re here to make your search for the right gift easy with our 2021 Holiday Gift Guide. We even threw in some pet themed items for the pet-loving humans in your life (or to treat yourself and really show off how much you love your pets). Many of the gifts on our list are available through Chewy, which gives a portion of your first purchase to Adopt-a-Pet.com. Not only will you be making pets and pet lovers happy with these gifts, you’ll be helping us get more pets home for the holidays. That makes you a Holiday Hero!
