Northwest Arkansas opens first-of-its-kind animal shelter with no cages, kennels
Susan Cosby, Best Friends Animal Society's senior adviser of strategy and integration, told Fox News Digital how the new sheltering model is disrupting the industry for the better.
A 17-year-old cat known for her "cattitude" is available for adoption in New York.
Phoebe is a brown, black and orange feline at the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons (ARF), and she's looking for a family of her own.
The sassy senior is a domestic shorthair who knows exactly what she wants out of life — good food and lots of cuddles, according to ARF.

Although she is older, she is ready to live out her "golden years in a home that’s worthy of her ‘cattitude,'" according to the rescue.
ARF has helped homeless and abandoned animals since its founding over 49 years ago.
