Monkey's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please review our Adoption Process before filling out an application. If you would like to try a Foster to Adopt trial, please fill out an Adoption Application. If you are only interested in temporarily Fostering one of our rescues, please fill out a Foster Application. Meet Monkey! We accepted this handsome fella in early June 2026 after he had been rejected by a local San Diego shelter for coming in with bloody nasal discharge and an upper respiratory infection (URI). We were contacted by his rescuer seeking assistance and we took him in. This handsome boy never actually had a URI, but he did arrive with a bloody nose which fixed itself by the next day. What was wrong? Who knows, likely during transport he injured his nose in the crate BUT it’s that shelter’s loss since Monkey is SUCH a great boy! Handsome? Check! Sweet and social? Absolutely! Playful? Yup! Monkey came in with the name Batman, which does suit him with that beautiful mask of his BUT we think he is a total goof ball and hence he is a little Monkey to us. We can say that he has been a gem from the first day being in quarantine. He is a very clean kitty in his kennel and we did discover he does better with a high-rise litter box versus the normal square plastic ones (just taller sides on the box or normal larger boxes - super easy) By using a high-rise litter box with taller sides, he is very clean and will nicely cover his #2 INSIDE the box. Monkey is an absolute food hound and he has the smallest, most adorable chirpy meow. He has never been stressed or aggressive around all the foster dogs and cats at Casa de ARWOB. He is very chill around all of them! He will be great addition to a home with multiple cats but would be fine as the only boy too if the home is right and would get a lot of companionship. He is good with dogs as long as they are not too much in his face or try to chase him, which will cause him to get overwhelmed and scared and he will run UP to any high counters or cabinets. The foster puppies love to approach him and lick his face, which he allows with no problem. He is very easy going and loves to nap but also loves to play with the lazer pen, batting around toys and play tag your it with other foster kitties He loves to sit at the window for the sun to hit his face and watch what is going outside. Monkey will be great in any type of household. He was rescued as a street cat and has been secured inside since he was 6 months old. He has been neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, and is up to date on medical. Would you like to meet this handsome gato? Please submit an online application at ARWOB.org for review. We will text or email you to schedule a phone call and get the process started. Meet and greets are scheduled in the 92111 zip code area any day of the week as long as it’s a convenient time for the applicant and the foster.

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.
