A New Beginning Animal Rescue

09/26/2026

🐾 Hi, I’m Max! My birthday is July 5, 2025, so I’m just over a year old—which means I’m still young, curious, energetic, and extremely enthusiastic about basically everything life has to offer.

💛 Everyone who meets me seems to say the same thing: I’m an absolute sweetheart. I have zero aggression and all love. I really love people, and I’m the kind of dog who wants to be right there with you, soaking up attention and figuring out how to make you happy.

🎓 I’m eager to please and kennel trained. I’m still at that perfect age where I have plenty of puppy energy, but I’m also learning how to settle in and be part of a routine. The good news? I’m at the perfect age to learn, and I really do want to make my people happy.

🐱 I haven’t been around cats before, so nobody can say for sure yet how I’d feel about having one as a roommate. I’d just need a proper introduction, some patience, and a little time to figure out what these mysterious tiny house creatures are all about.

☁️ I should also mention one of my greatest qualities: I am ridiculously soft. Like, “accidentally spend twenty minutes petting me because you completely forgot what you were doing” soft.

❤️ Mostly, though, I’m just a happy, loving young guy who’s ready to belong somewhere. I have a ton of enthusiasm, even more affection, not a mean bone in my body, and a whole lot of life ahead of me. I’m looking for someone who wants to teach me, include me, and let me grow into their very good boy.

Come and meet me at my foster home!

🐾 Hi! We’re Tumbleweed, Miss, and Gummy Bear 🐾 We’re three sisters with three very different personalities, and foster mama says it’s finally time for us to start looking for our forever homes. 🏡💕 We’ve spent our time in foster care learning how wonderful soft beds, sunny windows, toys, good food, and loving humans can be, and now we’re ready to tell you a little bit about ourselves. 🐱✨

Since sisters know each other best, we thought it would be more fun if we helped with the introductions. 💕🐾

🌿 Tumbleweed
Hi, I’m Tumbleweed, and I’m the quiet, gentle one of the bunch. 🤍 I like to take my time getting to know people, so you may notice me watching everything from a comfortable little distance at first. 👀 Once I decide I feel safe with you, though, my sweet and loyal side really starts to show. 💕 I may spend the day happily doing my own thing, but when bedtime comes around, don’t be surprised if you suddenly find me curled right up against your legs. 💤🐾 That’s my favorite way of saying, “Okay, you’re one of my people now.” ❤️
I absolutely love a good sunny window and can happily spend hours stretched out in the warmth watching the world go by. ☀️🪟 I’m also incredibly curious, which means I like to investigate absolutely everything around me. 🔎🐱 Sometimes my investigations involve gently testing whether objects on tables still obey the laws of gravity. 😂 Foster mama always puts them back, which I assume means she enjoys the experiment too.

I love toys, especially strings, springs, and anything that moves, and I’m completely litterbox trained. 🧶🌀🐾 One of the most important things to know about me, though, is how much I love having my kitty family around me. I’m especially attached to my older foster brother, and you’ll often find us curled up together in our favorite cat bed or tucked underneath foster mama’s office chair while she works. 🐱💕 But my sister Gummy Bear is my girl. She and I are bonded, and wherever our forever home turns out to be, we’ll be going there together. 🥹🐱🐱💕 Having my kitty companions nearby brings out such a soft, content little side of me. ❤️

And speaking of personality, let me introduce you to my tiny sister Miss, who somehow managed to fit an enormous amount of character into one very small kitten. 😂💕

💕 Miss
Hi, I’m Miss! I may be the smallest of the sisters, but I’m playful, feisty, incredibly smart, affectionate, and full of personality. 🐱⚡💕 I love my people deeply, but I’m also perfectly happy entertaining myself or finding a cozy little place for a nap. 💤 Closets, dresser drawers, tucked-away corners—if it’s warm, soft, and peaceful, there’s a very good chance I’ve already claimed it as one of my favorite spots. 🧺🤍

That independent streak disappears pretty quickly when foster mama comes home, though, because then I’m ready for cuddles, affection, and a little quality time with my person. 🥰🐾 I also take my biscuit-making responsibilities very seriously. 🍞💕 Give me a soft blanket or shirt and I will happily settle in and knead away to my heart’s content. Sometimes I leave behind a tiny drool spot while I’m doing it, but that’s simply one of the ways I show that I’m completely relaxed, happy, and in love with my cozy little life. 😂❤️

I’m also a huge fan of food and have yet to understand why humans don’t treat every meal like the exciting event it clearly is. 🍗😻 I’m great with other cats, litterbox trained, and I love playing with strings, springs, and anything I can chase. 🧶🌀
Even though I’m the most independent of the three sisters, I still really enjoy having feline companionship. 🐱💕 If I’m adopted separately from my sisters, I’ll need another friendly kitty in my new home so I always have a little companion nearby. 🏡🐾

Now, if you’re wondering who usually knows exactly what everyone in the house is doing at all times, that would be our sister Gummy Bear. 😂🐻

🐻 Gummy Bear
Hi! I’m Gummy Bear, and I’m the confident, affectionate little leader of our crew. 👑🐱 My favorite place to be is wherever my person happens to be, because I genuinely love being part of everything. ❤️ If foster mama moves from one room to another, I’m probably coming too. 🐾 If she sits down, I’ll happily curl up beside her—or on her—and if she’s working on something important, I’m always available to supervise from a very helpful distance of approximately three inches. 😂👀

I LOVE pets, cuddles, attention, and being included. 🥰💕 I’m incredibly loyal and devoted to my people, and once I love you, I really love you. ❤️ I also get very excited when foster mama is giving affection because I would never want to miss my opportunity to be part of the cuddle pile. 🐱🐱💗

Food is another one of my great loves. 🍽️😻 I’m very enthusiastic about my meals and prefer to keep my own nummies all to myself, so if another kitty gets curious about my bowl, I have been known to politely cover as much of it as possible with my entire body. 😂 I take snack security very seriously. 🛡️🍗

I’m also wonderfully curious and adventurous, which means an open front door can sometimes look like an invitation to explore. 🚪🐾 I’m a good girl who comes right back, but my future family will want to be mindful around open doors because I do enjoy seeing what’s happening on the other side. 💕🌎

Like my sisters, I’m great with other cats, litterbox trained, and absolutely obsessed with toys—especially strings, springs, hair ties, and anything that moves. 🧶🌀🎀 Most importantly, I really don’t enjoy being by myself. 🥺 I thrive with companionship, and thankfully I already have my forever feline companion picked out: my sister Tumbleweed. 🐱🐱💕 The two of us are bonded and will be adopted together, because having her nearby makes me feel happiest and most secure. ❤️

🐾 Three sisters, three completely different kinds of love
Tumbleweed is our gentle little observer, happiest soaking up sunshine, quietly exploring her world, snuggling against your legs at night, spending time with her older foster brother, and having her bonded sister Gummy Bear close by. ☀️🐱💕

Miss is our tiny, clever firecracker who loves affection just as much as she loves finding the perfect cozy hideaway, making biscuits, playing with her favorite toys, and celebrating every meal like a special occasion. 🥰🍞🧶

And Gummy Bear is our confident little social butterfly who wants to be part of everything, loves with her whole heart, follows her people wherever they go, and is happiest when she has both human affection and her bonded sister Tumbleweed nearby. 🐻❤️🐾

We’re all loving, playful, wonderful with other cats, completely litterbox trained, and very serious about our strings and springs. 🧶🌀😻

More than anything, we’re ready for homes where our individual personalities will be loved exactly as they are. 🏡❤️ Come meet us at our foster home... our foster mama says it’s totally okay, and we’d love to meet you! 🐾💕

Harley & Davidson: Built for Speed, Made for Cuddles 🏁🖤🤍

Hi, I’m Davidson, and I believe life is meant to be lived at full speed. My sister Harley and I spend hours wrestling, chasing each other through the house, and turning ordinary rooms into our own personal racetrack. 🏁 I’m curious, confident, and always ready for whatever comes next… especially if treats are involved. 🐟

Once I finally run out of gas, though, I’m perfectly happy curling up with Harley for a nap. 💤 We play hard, crash hard, and wake up ready to do it all over again.

Okay, enough about me. I keep talking about my sister, so I should probably let her introduce herself. She’s my best friend, my favorite wrestling opponent, and somehow always the one I end up curled next to when the chaos is over.

Harley, you’re up. 💞

Hi, I’m Harley! I’m one of those kittens who gets sweeter the more you get to know me. 😽💋 I like to take everything in first, but give me a little time and suddenly that quiet little girl you met is climbing, playing, exploring, and racing her brother through the house like she owns the place.

I absolutely adore Davidson, but I’ve also blossomed in foster care and now happily play with my foster cat and dog friends too. 🐈‍⬛🐶 I’m curious, playful, affectionate, and have the gentlest little way about me. I may let Davidson think he’s the wild one, but don’t worry—I can absolutely keep up. 🩷

Now that you’ve met both of us, here’s the important grown-up stuff: we’re only 4 months old and we’re already litter-trained, dewormed, vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and microchipped with lifetime enrollment. 💯

We’re brother-and-sister best friends, partners in crime, professional house racers, and world-class cuddle buddies. More than anything, we’d love to find a forever home where we can keep doing life side by side. 😺❣️😸

Two kittens. One finish line. One forever home. 🏁

🌸 Hi, I’m Flour Biscuits and I'm in the cubbies at Petco in Layton right now! 🌸 I’m a sweet, social little Torbie with a lot to say and an even bigger appreciation for affection. If you have hands, I’m going to assume they were specifically designed for petting me. As you can see, I’m not exactly subtle about it—I’ll lean right into you, rub all over your hands, and make sure you understand your assignment.

I’m a confident, chatty girl who loves being around people and soaking up attention. I do well with other cats as long as they understand one very important rule: my personal space belongs to me, thank you very much. I can also live with respectful dogs who know how to treat a lady, and I’d be a wonderful companion for kids who are gentle and respectful. 🐈 🐕

😻 I’m affectionate, curious, social, litter box trained, and perfectly happy being your little shadow around the house. I also love watching the world through a window. Since I originally came to the rescue after being found outside, I’d probably enjoy safely experiencing the outdoors again someday... maybe from a secure catio, on a harness adventure, or from a nice sunny window where I can supervise the neighborhood.

Basically, I’m looking for a family with plenty of love, plenty of pets, and preferably at least one hand available at all times. 😽💋

Think you have room for a talkative little Torbie with very strong opinions about being adored? I might just be your girl.

🚨 KAYSVILLE: YOUR HOUSE IS MISSING A KITTEN. POSSIBLY TWO. 🚨

Meet Leo, Coral, Willow & Milo... four ridiculously lovable ANBAR kittens currently hanging out at Wag & Whisker Society in Kaysville and accepting applications for the position of Forever Human.

😻🥰 You can actually go meet and play with them during regular business hours. The adoption process is quick and easy, so if one of these tiny furbabies chooses you, you may be able to take them home that very visit.

Don’t take my word for it. They have some things to say. 🤗

🐾 LEO: Hi, I’m Leo. I’m equal parts mischievous little menace and enormous cuddlebug. I have gorgeous green/yellow eyes, love curling up with my humans for naps and bedtime, and my favorite place is wherever everybody else is hanging out. I’m great with kids and other cats, LOVE my cat tree and toy mouse, and if dinner service is running behind schedule, I may gently tap your leg and meow until management addresses the issue. I’m adorable. I know.

🐾 CORAL: Hi, I’m Coral. I’m the sweet, gentle, slightly shy girl of the group. I like to take a minute to decide you’re trustworthy—and then I’ll hop right up beside you when I’m ready for pets and scratches. I love sleeping with my humans at bedtime, relaxing in my cat tree, chasing balls and toy mice, attacking unsuspecting shoelaces and hiding in cardboard boxes like the tiny woodland creature I clearly am. I’m wonderful with other cats, kids and adults. Give me a little patience and I’ll give you my whole heart.

🐾 WILLOW: HELLO, HAVE YOU CONSIDERED CUDDLING ME IMMEDIATELY? I’m Willow. I LOVE people. Kids? Yes. Adults? Absolutely. Older cats? Friends. Available lap? MINE. I cuddle with everybody, give kisses, wrestle with my siblings, chase bouncy balls and toy mice, curl up with my foster mom on the couch and occasionally climb into a particularly handsome cardboard box for some quiet reflection. My life philosophy is simple: love everyone, cuddle everything.

🐾 MILO: Hi, I’m Milo. I’m the sweet, gentle boy with the beautiful green/blue eyes—and yes, I know they’re fabulous. I LOVE cuddling, curling up in laps, getting scratches and hanging out on my cat tree. I’m also quite conversational. I wander around making adorable little chirps and meows because sometimes a gentleman has things to say. I love my toy mouse, get along wonderfully with kids, adults and other cats, and mostly I’m just waiting for someone to realize their lap looks suspiciously empty.

🏡 These babies are READY!!
They’ve already been socialized, litter-trained, dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered.
They’ve been loved, handled and prepared for family life. Now they just need the actual family.

Before you say, “We only need ONE kitten…” 🛑 Two kittens can actually be easier than one. They have a built-in wrestling partner, chase buddy, nap companion and fellow tiny goblin to burn energy with when you’re busy. They also learn social boundaries from each other... things like perhaps we do not attack the human ankle with the full force of our ancestors.

Plus, if you adopt siblings or buddies together, they already have someone familiar beside them while adjusting to their new home.

So maybe you went in for one.
Maybe Leo and Milo start wrestling.
Maybe Willow climbs into your lap.
Maybe Coral quietly decides you’re safe and curls up beside you.

Suddenly you’re filling out paperwork while whispering, “…well, two really isn’t that many cats.”

Go meet these sweet ANBAR babies at Wag & Whisker Society in Kaysville during regular business hours. Play with them. Snuggle them. Let them show you who they are.

Just understand that “we’re only going to look” is an extremely fragile plan when kittens are involved. 🤭

🐾 If you’ve ever had siblings, 5-month-old Gus & Willow will make perfect sense.

Hi! I’m Gus, a goofy grey & white social butterfly... an all-around happy little dude who wants to participate in everything and loves humans, cats, dogs, my siblings, toys, chasing flies and life! 💜 I’m not very picky when it comes to having a good time.

🐶 I’ve even chosen one particular dog in my foster home as MY dog and I’m constantly climbing all over her, standing underneath her and pushing myself up against her belly because personal space is not something that applies to me. 😹

I’m pretty chill most of the time, but I also like knowing where my humans are and will happily follow you around and have a conversation with you when I decide I need some attention. 😺 When you finally sit down, though, that’s my cue to curl up beside you and settle in. I’m looking for someone who wants a sweet, social little best friend who fully intends to be involved in whatever you’re doing. ❤️

😻 I’m Willow, his black & white sister. I’m the calmer one of the two and I don’t need to be attached to you every second of the day, but I know that humans are pretty great and I’m becoming more affectionate and interested in being close to them all the time. 💕

🐕 I love dogs, I love playing with my brother and as the only girl in the group, I'm obviously the one keeping everybody in line. 😸 I’m also ridiculously good at hide-and-seek. You’ll swear I’ve vanished, search the house and then suddenly realize I’m curled up right beside your legs like I’ve been there the entire time. If you really need me to reveal my location, shaking the treats will usually expose me because I have no self-control when it comes to snacks. I love to play, climb somewhere high so I can supervise everyone and then curl up in a basket or on the softest blanket I can find when I’m done. 💤

We are both litter-trained, socialized, dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped with a lifetime enrollment and fixed.

We are such an easy pair of kittens to fall in love with, for completely different reasons and we are ready to complete your family. ❤️

🐾 Meet sweet Sterling! 🐾
This handsome boy is looking for his forever home, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about him. 💙

He is SO sweet and affectionate and loves being around his people. He’ll happily curl up at the end of the bed and sleep with you, but he’s also a playful little guy who loves to chase toys and have some fun. 🥹

And food? Oh, he LOVES food. 😂💙This boy is definitely not going to turn down a good meal!

He’s got the sweetest personality and such a gentle little soul. He’s been so loved and spoiled as a foster, and now we’re hoping to find the person or family who will love him just as much and give him the forever home he deserves. 🏡💕

If you think this sweet boy might be your next family member, please reach out! 🐱💙
