Handsome Matisse Would Like to Speak to You About a Forever Home Situation
Meet Matisse! This handsome boy with unusual markings is a very shy kitty who likes to watch on the sidelines rather than be in on all the action. While that could all change once he’s comfortable in a forever home and feels safe and secure, for the time being, Matisse likes his space and prefers to love from afar as he hangs out on a cat tree or his comfortable space. Matisse is currently in foster care through the Southern Arizona Cat Rescue in Tucson. This large boy is thought to be 3.8 years old and has no special needs. He will...

How I Lost My Cat, and Found My Community (and Found My Cat)
Chappy got out of the house. It was a freak accident, on a Sunday morning in February. The wind blew the door open, while my husband Ray brought an Instacart order in from the front stoop.

Chappy, who hadn’t spent a moment outdoors since he was picked up by a cat rescue group as a baby kitten, and hadn’t shown the slightest inclination to make a break for it in the six years we’d had him, tried...
