WHO WE ARE...

Citizens For North Phoenix Strays is a non-profit, 100% volunteer, no kill rescue organization that has been "Helping People Help Animals"tm since 1993. We provide help through low cost spay/neuter referral, humane trapping and altering of feral and stray cats through our SPAY-A-STRAY program, and by giving animals a second chance through adoption. CNPS aids mainly cats. These animals have been given up by their owners, or are abandoned, or are part of an unwanted litter because an irresponsible owner did not spay or neuter their pet.

"The animal rescue world is not a perfect world, but we leave it better than the way we found it"tm
"Make a difference, Spay and Neuter"tm
SAVE A MILLION LIVES BY JUST SPAYING ONE

CITIZENS FOR NORTH PHOENIX STRAYS

If you have a pet cat or pet dog that you want to get spayed or neutered – This will help you
If you own a pit bull or pit mix and you want to get it spayed or neutered for free – This will help you
If you found a tame or feral cat or if you found a dog that you want to get fixed – This will help you
If you feed strays YOU MUST ALSO SPAY AND NEUTER or all you are doing is breeding cats to die

If you expect to have somebody do this for you, if you do not follow thru on things, if you do not have transportation or any friends or family or if you do not make an effort–
then nobody or nothing can help you help that animal. After reading this form you will have no excuse not to make a difference.

We are all volunteers who also have full time jobs like you. We give our time and efforts to help people, help the animals. We do it for the animals, not for the people. We have compiled this list of spay and neuter programs for you, to benefit the animals. At least one of these programs will work for every situation you have, whether you are low income, on AHCCCS, found a dog or cat, are feeding strays you can not touch or just want to get you own pet fixed.

For feral/wild cats we have a Spay-A-Stray program, these cats DO NOT have to die!!
For more info about our trap, spay/neuter, release program Toni @ 602-332-6615 or 602-375-0917. We have humane traps for spay/neuter/release that you can borrow for free with a deposit. You can also call Az Cats @ 480-968-4867 to see how they can “help you, help the animals”.

We have an adoption program for adoptable animals, but we do not "take them in" because
*We spend what money we have on spaying and neutering to help stop the suffering of innocent lives from over population, not on a building to house a bunch of animals
*Too many animals housed in one environment spreads disease and the animals die
*Because we do not ‘take them from you’ we are able to help an infinite amount of people who are willing to ”help us, help the animals”. We will never be “full” and never turn anyone away
*If we took all of the animals from people who call us everyday we would have to become a kill shelter like the Humane Society and the Pound.

To find a new home for a pet or stray cat or kittens
*The person that is being responsible and willing to "help us, help the animal" will be my contact person.
Do not call for a friend of a friend.
*Every adoptable animal will always get adopted. We “work together” till I inform you that he has been adopted.
*This ‘responsible person’ would bring the animal to an inside environment, bathroom, bedroom, etc.. We are not asking you to stress your pets out by mixing them with animals you are trying to help.
*Email me 3 good photos and a story so I can get the animal listed on line and get him in line for a space at Petsmart. Email me a story of where you got him, why you don’t want him, how he is with cats, dogs and kids, personality, what he eats and anything you would like a new owner to know.
*All animals must be spayed or neutered before they can go up for adoption. Read the last two pages to decide which program you want to use and how to use it.
*If you will be using the free voucher program you will need to mail away for them NOW. They were taking from 2-7 weeks last year so even if kittens are not ready (kittens must be 2# or 10 wks) send away for them NOW.
*Once the animal gets fixed it is then scheduled with Toni for a one-time check-in and shots here at the house near 35th Ave. & Bell Road and then dropped off with the paperwork at the adoption site. CNPS adopts cats from the PetsMart store at 31st Ave. & Peoria.
*The animal can stay at Petsmart until adopted but if for any reason the situation turns unhealthy for that animal you will be called to pick him up and give him a break then he can return to Petsmart.
If this program works for you, contact Toni @ 602-375-0917 or 602-332-6615, badkittyts@aol.com

FYI: Every PetsMart and Petco have at least one adoption organization adopting out there that do basically what we do. Call and get the phone numbers to these organizations to see how they can help. Remember to let them know that you are not a dumper, that you will “help them, help the animal”, that you will foster the animal and bring it to adoptions. Also go to petfinder.com and do a search for cats in your area. It will pull up cats for adoption and also the organizations helping those cats. Call those organizations to see how they can help you. You will get help if you are not a dumper.

To find a new home for a pet or stray dog or puppies
Since dogs can not stay in a cage at Petsmart overnight CNPS can help by listing the animal online and set up viewing times for interested parties. *The above information for cats, also pertains to dogs.
All animals must be spayed or neutered and have a rabies shot before they can be shown. Keep reading to decide which spay and neuter program you want to use and how to use it.
Also read the above FYI

DO NOT GIVE UP. THE LIFE OF THAT ANIMAL RELIES ON YOU.
*If the organizations that you are calling know you are willing to "help them, help the animal” by fostering him and bringing him to and from the adoption center, you will be able to save that dog.
**If you can pick out several distinct breeds that the dog your trying to help is, then google
C.A.B.R.A. = Coalition of All Breeds Rescue or call 480-874-2511. If you think he has shephard, call shephard rescue and say you have a shephard (NOT a MIX) that needs help. If you think he also has lab, then call lab rescue and say you have a lab (NOT a MIX). Let THEM decide if he is a purebred.
Nobody but the kill shelters can help dumpers A dumper is someone who just wants to dump the animal problem on to someone else.
Looking for a dog call, Robin Hood Rescue @ 623-931-7499/623-680-1170 or Soar @ 602-993-9393

***WARNING***
#1: If any organization says they will take your cats from you (for money or whatever) please realize that they are taking them from the other 50 to 75 other callers they get a day. Our worst rescues have been from other organizations. Keep that animal that you are trying to help healthy and alive by keeping it in it’s own environment, not mixed in with a 100 other cats.
#2: The only shelters in town that will take cats are the kill shelters. They have room to take them in because they kill them. It’s NOT their fault, it’s the !*#@!* who dump these poor animals not spayed or neutered in the first place. There are so many animals dropped off every day that they are killed in an assembly-line procedure. You will pay $20-$60 per animal you drop off there to get a home. In the end it gets a needle stabbed in the heart (hopefully) and thrown into a garbage can. IT’S NOT THEIR FAULT. There are too many. SPAY AND NEUTER!!!!!
I’M TELLING YOU THIS FOR ONE REASON ONLY...Death is not the absolute worst thing these animals have to look forward to…it’s HOW they die that’s worse. If you have no choice but to have them euthanized for whatever reason, go to a veterinarian and have it done the right way. Give that animal what it deserves, and that is, a non-threatening, quiet environment surrounded by love. Let that stray or unwanted pet be put to sleep peacefully and not it’s last few minutes of life being in total fear. It’s very important to have the pre-anesthetic shot done first. If you need more information on anything please contact Toni

ADOPTING A FRIEND...


Come meet all of our homeless kitties at the CNPS Adoption Center located in PETsMART Metrocenter at 31st Ave, South of Peoria behind Chipotle.
We have needy kitties looking for YOU seven days a week!
Toni 602-375-0917 or 602-332-6615 email badkittyts@aol.com Citizens For North Phoenix Strays b>

The adoption fee for cats is $75.00, kittens are $100.00 and seniors are 60.00. Adoption fees include vet exam, spaying or neutering and inside shots (4-in-1) for life. All of our animals come with a 14 day health and compatability guarantee. a We except cash or check and you must have a plastic carrier to take the cat home in, no cardboard boxes or laundry baskets! FACT: Due to cars, sick and cruel people, poisonings, being trapped in neighborhoods and being sold to research or used for snake food, diseased when attacked by stray dogs and cats, eaten by hungry coyotes and owls and more... THE AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF AN INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAT IS 18 MONTHS THE AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF AN INSIDE CAT IS 18 YEARS FYI when you let your pet cat “out back” to sit with you and roll in the dirt they will contract body bugs and parasites then they are brought into your house and onto your bed. YUK!! DON'T LET THE CAT OUT! When you adopt your new companion, we want you to commit to your new pet "FOR LIFE". But if for any reason you are unable to keep your pet, it MUST be returned to CNPS.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU...

SPAY-A-STRAY PROGRAM - CNPS is one of the very few rescue groups that focus on feral cats in our community. This program we have put together enables us to provide assistance with the trapping and altering of feral and un-owned stray cats. We have all seen them - these cats are living in business areas, empty lots behind restaurants, at airports and schools... maybe in your neighborhood. An active program of spay/neuter and release brings a feral colony under control (0% population increase), keeps new cats from coming into the area, greatly reduces fighting and spraying behavior, improves the overall health of the cats and DIRECTLY REDUCES THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS BEING EUTHANIZED AT THE COUNTY SHELTERS! Documentation has shown that total removal and euthanization of these cats has proven to be completely ineffective and more costly than a spay/neuter/release program. Many communities throughout the country have put into place a trap/alter/release program and found it to be the only EFFECTIVE way to control the feral cat population. Please get involved in this worthwhile program. The cost to neuter a male cat is typically $30.00 and the cost to spay a female cat is $45.00 to $75.00. Please, help us make a difference with a donation earmarked for the SPAY-A-STRAY PROGRAM! (More information about trap/alter/release programs can be found at the Alley Cat Allies website at www.alleycat.org)


VOLUNTEERING and DONATIONS...

VOLUNTEERS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE! We need your help!! Areas of need include help at the adoption center, cage cleaning and care during the week for the kitties staying at the store. Volunteers must be 18 years old or older. Donations of time, money and any type of animal care products, including (but not limited to) food (mostly cat and kitten food), litter, pet carriers and cages, towels and blankets, bowls, leashes, toys, etc, are always very much appreciated. If we all work together, we can help save more animals.

CONTACTING US...

You can reach us best by sending an e-mail to: badkittyts@aol.com or by visiting us at the adoption centers on Saturdays or Sundays or by calling Toni at 602-375-0917 or 602-332-6615
