SAVE THE CATS ARIZONA

Who We Are

We are a 501(c)3 cat rescue group. We do not have a shelter and do not take cats from the public. We are currently helping a group of homeless and hungry cats who reside at the Riparian Preserve. The Riparian Preserve is located behind the Southeast Regional Library on the corner of Greenfield and Guadalupe Roads. We provide feeding, TNR spay/ neutering services, and placement when appropriate, for this at risk population of cats. We have placed 123 cats to date from this site with the help of past and current hard working volunteers and we have several cats currently in foster care..

Kittens For Adoption Now

We have seven kittens available now 6/09 for adoption. They are currently in foster care. Adoption fees are $50 which incudes testing for feline leukemia, shots, and spay/neuter at 5 months. We also appreciate donations of food or money that help to keep our fees low. The Riparian Preserve is located on the SE corner of Greenfield and Guadalupe Roads, behind the Southeast Regional Library. We appreciate unopened, fresh, wet or dry food. We spend around $390 every month to feed the cats. For donations or adoption information call Donald at 480.830.9753 or email us at savethecatsaz@aol.com.

About Our Cats

Our cats are an at-risk population. They face daily predators such as coyotes, great horned owls, a mountain lion, and unfortunately some humans. Some of our cats have been abandoned by their former owners. Others have lived their whole lives in the Preserve. Some individuals and groups feel the cats do not belong in the area and cannot coexist with the wildlife and birds in the area. Euthanasia of the cats has been proposed as an alternative. Because of this we hope to place as many cats as possible. We keep our adoption fees at only $35 to help expedite this process. Some of our cats take several months to acclimate to a new environment but can make great pets with time and patience. The other feral cats are in our TNR program and are not candidates for adoption. We have had many success stories with adoptions of our cats.
