Peachy, other pets are available to adopt
Every year, approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter shelters nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Of those, about 3.3 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats.
Each week, The Arizona Republic highlights a handful of the many pets up for adoption at Valley shelters. To check the status of a specific animal, please contact the shelter directly.
Peachy: An adorable kitten
It is definitely the height of cat and kitten season in the Valley and the Arizona Humane Society is certainly in the thick of it. With more than 900 felines in its care, 404 in-shelter and an additional 509 in Foster Hero homes to be exact, there is no better time than now to consider adding a lovable fur baby to your home.
Although there are so many kitties in AHS’ care, this sweet baby is feeling just Peachy thanks to all of the wonderful treatment she has received since being rescued. Like thousands of kittens who will make their way to AHS this summer, the beautiful nine-week-old Calico was found as a sick, underage orphan who needed medical treatment in May of this year.
It was found that Peachy was in need of some care for an Upper Respiratory Infection and some tummy issues so once she was cleared by AHS’ Second Chance Animal Hospital veterinarians, she was on her way to a loving Foster Hero home. This is where Peachy was able to grow healthy and strong while receiving the socialization she needed to become the well-rounded, loving and playful cutie she is today.
