Cinna (Bonded with Rue) - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in San Tan Valley, Arizona

Rue (4/4/26) and her brother, Cinna, came to us after a kind Good Samaritan rescued them from the Arizona heat. Both were unsure about humans and needed time to adjust to indoor life.

Handsome, all black Cinna (4/4/26) has come such a long way. Initially, he would freeze when petted, unsure if humans were safe. With patience and treats, he began to blossom. Today, he'll approach his people for affection—especially if it's mealtime (he is very food motivated ). He gets along wonderfully with other cats and loves playtime. When its just Cinna and Rue, their personalities shine: outgoing, playful, and completely comfortable together. Cinna still isn't a fan of being picked up; he'd prefer all four paws stay on solid ground.

Note: Rue & Cinna must be adopted together. They will thrive in homes with patient adopters. A home with older, calm children who respect boundaries is ideal. Gentle interactions and slow introductions will help them flourish.

Cinna is neutered, microchipped, FVRCP vaccinated, and has tested negative for FeLV and FIV.
