La Nina's Story

If you are only interested in temporarily Fostering one of our rescues, please fill out a Foster Application. Meet the girls!3/6/26Update - This girl is the most outgoing and affectionate love bug! If you are looking for a loving kitty this is her!This beautiful trio of girls (Mom - Santa Maria and her daughters - Pinta and La Nina) came to ARWOB late January when we received a plea for help from the neighbor of her owner. These girls owner was an elderly lady who lived alone and had taken the mama cat in when she was found in the streets with her kittens who where just born. Several kititens had not made it but these 2 kittens had and where taken in by her to nurture them. She built a catio for them in her condo and kept them there since she was allergic to cats. Sadly, she passed away in December 2025 and the cats where left in the catio until they figured out what to do with them. After 2 months of feeding them and checking in on them trying to have local city shelters to take them in and nothing. They finally reached out to rescue groups. We had room and took them in. They are now fully vetted and ready for a home!2/23/26The girls are living at casa de arwob in the cat room on their own. Santa Maria and Nina are VERY social and loving towards humans, gentle kitties. Mom wants nothign to do with her girls and tolerates them so she would be best as an only cat. She will need someone who will give her time to acclimate as her first instinct is to hide or climb on high areas. Nina is very outgoing seeking pets. She likely would be a good kitty for a home with other cats as she is very indifferent to them. We have yet to see both sisters interact mainly because Pinta will need a VERY experienced cat person, she is an angel but VERY shy. She will enjoy being petted but when she is let down into the ground she will seek refuge into a a cubby or under something. She would be fine with other cats but likely will ignore them until she feels comfortable. ALL 3 girls can be adopted as singletones. Likely no dogs or children for Pinta but Santa and Nina could get used to easy going kids/dogs with time. We can certainly see the girls seeking attention and playing when they feel comfortable which can take a month or longer.If you would like to meet one of our animals, PLEASE fill out an adoption application.

Animal Rescuers Without Borders,Inc.'s Adoption Policy

The A.R.W.O.B. group prides itself on carefully placing animals into responsible and loving homes. We care about the present and future lives of the many unwanted dogs and cats and strive to improve them so they can come to know stability, love and safety. For more information, please visit our website at www.arwob.org. Our adoption procedure is as follows: 1) Adoption Application filed by applicant (visit the applications page to fill one out!). We typically adopt dogs and cats to individuals or families located in San Diego County, Orange County and Los Angeles areas. However, we may consider potential adopters within California, Arizona, and Nevada (within a reasonable driving distance) under certain circumstances. We require that the application be approved ahead of time and a home check must be done via FaceTime Skype (we do not accept videos for this purpose). We would also require the potential adopter to come to San Diego to meet the animal in person and we recommend bringing any current pet(s) to see if they will get along. If the potential adopter opts out of the meet-n-greet with their existing animal(s) and if the new pet does not get along with their existing pets, we would require the adopter to drive back to San Diego to return the animal -- we cannot provide transportation. Our adoptions are time sensitive and our policy is that we do not place holds on any of our rescues. PLEASE NOTE: We have implemented a new policy for those who are currently serving in the military. IF YOU ARE IN THE MILITARY please fill out a short questionnaire in addition to the adoption application. 2) A play date between the applicant and rescue (dog or cat). An applicant MUST have an APPROVED online adoption application filed BEFORE scheduling a playdate at the animal's foster home.The playdate will ensure that the potential adopter and the dog/ cat they are interested in is the right match. If the dog/cat does not possess the qualities and behavioral traits the applicant is looking for, we can continue the adoption process by meeting another rescued dog or cat. You can also meet the animal you are interested in at scheduled adoption events. Approved applicants have priority to meet an animal over others. Please read the events page for more information about meeting an animal at an event and possibly taking them home afterward. 3) Home checks to ensure the safety of our rescues (If applicable). An ARWOB volunteer will contact you upon approval of your application (and the playdate appointment) to schedule a visit to your home. Here we will take a look at where the cat/dog will be living. Your home and yard must be safe and secure. 4) Adoption Contract and ID from applicant If everything checks out during the homecheck and we believe our rescued dog/ cat will live happily there, we will go ahead and sign the adoption contract to makes the adoption official. 5) Adoption fee Fees are different for both dogs and cats and are based on age and, sometimes, on the breed. Please visit the adoption fees page for a break down of all. 6) Denial of adoption applications We screen all of our adoption applications thoroughly in order to find the perfect home for our rescues. There may be times when we feel the adopter is not a good fit based on the answer to questions on their application. Please know that we vet each applicant with the animal's best interest in mind. In the event that your application is denied, you will receive an email letting you know of our decision. However, we will not be able to answer detailed questions regarding the denial.
