Murphy's Law Rescue - Arizona

02/22/2026

Very busy day... So we forgot to take pictures.

Thank you C-A-L Ranch Stores Sierra Vista for sponsoring us.

We had a total for 3 cat adoptions, 7 rat adoptions, two rats transferred to RAV (thank you so much ) and 9 rats transferred to another foster.

What a wonderful, wonderful day for everything.

Happy tails to Saint, Waffles and Carebear. You all found amazing homes!

Today was a deep clean on the cages and the littles are big enough to separate boys from girls.

Everyone got some streamed broccoli and cauliflower as well as cucumber and carrots. Hopefully this will serve as worthy penance for my bothersome removal of their nests and odors! They also reach have their daily baby food (today is banana strawberry yogurt) and their mix of seeds and larvae.

All the babies are looking for homes! Big girl is "with child" and to be going back to her owner once we get her babies weaned.... I will be keeping at least 5 and the rest will then be looking for homes as well.

Aww... RATS!

That's right, we have sweet little rats of all ages up for adoption!

Adoption fee per rat is $15, $20 for a pair and $30 for a trio...

If you don't already have a pet rat we would only adopt out a pair minimum as they are pack animals and need to have a companion.

Come on down this Saturday to the OK Feed & Supply and pick out your new pet we will also have our adoptable cats and kittens there as well!

2025 is officially behind us and 2026 is ahead of us with opportunities and hope.

We want to take a moment to thank our top fosters, volunteers and donors.

Deborah Larson, Susan (no profile sorry), Amy Moreno, Raven Ewing -- without your generous donations we would not have been able to get through our year financially. The babies that benefitted from your kindness and compassion would thank you if they could...

Carla and Dave Luallin, Susan Luft Flis (and her wonderful husband Lou), Lauri Raine and April Gladysh have been absolutely pivotal in being there to foster all these sweethearts that find themselves in need of a safe place to land. Without you opening your homes and hearts there is no telling what their fates may have been. Your time, energy and sometimes tears along with your generous financial investments made a literal life or death difference to the animals and meant more to us than you can ever know.

With all the above we were able to take in 70 cats and 9 dogs in 2025 and that resulted in 66 adoptions with 19 pets currently in our care.

From the whole of our hearts, David and I thank you and value you more than words could ever convey.

We have started a Give Send Go (like a GoFundMe)

Murphy's Law Rescue is a rescue located in Cochise County. We intake and adopt out dogs and cats all across the state of Arizona. We specialize in neonatal...

Friends and family - we are coming to you with an embarrassing plea.

Finances are so tight right now. The rescue bleeds money (as rescues do) and in turn we have had to go on an intake freeze due to not having the ability to pay for the medical needs such as spay and neuter that would go into those that come into our care... to help mitigate that we poured so many personal funds in that we have now found ourselves in a major pinch in that area as well.

We are asking for funding - that will help pay delinquent vet bills as well as allow for the simplest items for us such as gas money and groceries.

I am absolutely humiliated to have to even post this - but we are at a desperate moment as one of those delinquent bills is threatening a civil standby with law enforcement if not paid in full by COB Friday. I cannot bear the thought of it coming to that.

Anything (and I mean ANYTHING) would be beyond appreciated and helpful at this time.

This right here is why spay and neuter is so important. It saves countless little lives that ends slowly and far younger than they ever should.

Momma was a stray fed by a lovely good Samaritan that found themselves in the hospital. With no one to care for momma Desert Cat Rescue & Sanctuary Arizona - DCRSA was contacted... When we saw they were in need of a bottle feeder we offered to assist. Thank you Cheryl Christensen for entrusting us with this transfer and these precious little lives.

Mamma is affectionately named Sahara (she has dried up, likely due to stress, and cannot feed her babies)

Orange little boy is Cacti
Orange female is Mirage (appropriate to those in the know)
Black male is Canyon and he appears to be fading and will likely not make it 24 hours.
Tan male is Dusty and he is actively passing.

As sad as these images are - their lives mattered and they deserve to be introduced and honored with their siblings. And maybe, just maybe, their little lives will help others recognize the suffering...

Many vets, included, offer free TNR for ferals because they all know this suffering all too well. Please consider helping those not yet even born by spaying and neutering your local colonies. The impact it will have on those you reach spans the generations.

This kitten is being spayed. She is only 4.5 months old and she was pregnant. She is a baby herself, now thankfully spared the misery of raising a litter on the streets. This is the battle we are up against: babies who can have babies, cats who can get pregnant while already pregnant or as soon as two weeks after giving birth. This is why we implore you, if you see a cat, please fix a cat, pregnant or not. We fix kittens at two months, two lbs, following shelter medicine protocols in our clinic. We are begging you to help us help them. Feeding cats without fixing= breeding. Photo credit: Dr. Erica Unz, DVM.

Welcome to the Murphy's Law Rescue family young Theo... He's named in honor of Malcolm Jamal Warner.

We believe Theo to be about 4 weeks old.

He seems to have a rather distended belly so deworming has already begun.

He's very sweet and snuggly.

We will be at OK Feed on Ft Lowell road 10-3. We wanted to get some info out on the wonderful cats and kittens that will be joining us

Madame Pele is a beautiful four year-old long haired female. She just gave birth a couple of months back to a beautiful litter. Unfortunately, they came to the rescue with upper respiratory infection and despite all of our efforts and her efforts, we lost three of her kittens. She has one kitten, Hana, not ready for her spay and joining at events. She will join her mama in the near future.

Sable and Mabel are 3 year old sisters. Sable has white socks on her front paws, is very shy, but also very sweet and loving. Mabel has white mittens, is very very outgoing and playful. She recently had a litter of kittens, but unfortunately, the same upper respiratory infection took the whole litter. She has remained extremely involved with her sisters babies, Sable will have two of her children at the event Wardell and Vesta. All of these for play hard together and are very loving. The two kittens energy keeps them playing with adults or the two smaller kittens constantly. Sable might do best if she were allowed to go with one of her adult littermates.- Madame Pele, uncle Maui, or sisterMabel. We would allow two of the adult cats to go together if one is with Mabel) at a bonded buddy adoption fee of $200.

Maui is Madam Pele‘s son who is two years old. He is a super sweet and loving boy. He will lay in your lap for hours purring away. He plays with everyone from the group that he came from. He can be very talkative.

I will share with you pictures of Hana and YaYa but those two girls are not ready.Hana as mentioned is Pele‘s daughter. Yaya came to us as a foster while her normal foster was on vacation. We had her in a split kennel with the litter box and other weighted items separating the upper and lower halves. Determined kitties and mamas will find a way to be together. And Yaya kept making her way down with Madame Pele and Hana. Well, Pele is not nursing the kittens more than once a day, she is frequently grooming, both. Yaya appears as though she has always been Hana so we made the decision to just leave her with her current foster and the family. She seems to have “chosen”. Those two girls will be ready soon and can start coming to events. Both are extremely outgoing and loving, and by then should be ready to go to homes solo (or together if desired).

Everybody will have their shots, including rabies, be spayed, or neutered and microchip. If you have an interest in any of these or know someone who would be, please share this post.

The adoption fee is 150 per cat or kitten with a second kitten being adopted for the fee of 125. Except as noted with Sabel potentially being adopted with another adult for 200
