My 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 Poplar! 2/25/26 - Here is what Poplar's foster family has to say:Poplar is the sweetest, most dopey little kitten I've ever met! He has made me laugh more than any other kitty I've fostered, as his silly antics and genuine excitement about little things (like finding a feather or seeing his own shadow) are so adorable. Like Koko, he absolutely loves playtime with his best friend, and the two of them will entertain each other for hours running around and wrestling. He is so innocently curious about the world around him, and you can often see the gears turning in his head as he experiences new things (like ceiling fans being turned on or watching crows through a window outside). While he certainly has the classic kitten spurts of energy, most of the time he's an incredibly chill cat who loves relaxing right next to you and recharging his batteries for his next bout of playtime with Koko. He's such a good kitten!!Original Rescue Story: This handsome love bug comes to us from Ensenada. He is currently fostered in North Park along with fellow foster sister Koko. Both of them are such sweet kitties and became fast friends. It took them a day to be friends and they would be a great duo! It is not needed for them to be adopted together, BUT they are required to be adopted into a home with another cat if not adopted together. Our adoption fee is higher than city shelters because we retroviral test our rescue cats, unlike city shelters like SDHS and other rescues. Poplar is FeLV/FIV negative and is fully vetted. IF home checks, landlord approvals, and the adoption fee is not a determining factor for you to adopt, please submit an application today! Once we receive an application we will text or email to schedule a call.  If you do not hear from us within 24-72 hours, please reach out. Visit ARWOB.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.If you would like to meet one of our animals, PLEASE fill out an adoption application. Dog Adoption Application Cat Adoption Application   PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE IN THE MILITARY  please fill out a short questionnaire in addition to the adoption application. Military QuestionnaireMarch 11, 2026, 1:04 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Poplar, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
