I have been volunteering for this wonderful organization for 13 years now. Our kitties are very happy in their sanctuary home. They have the ability to be outdoors in a roomy, secured enclosure or in a climate controlled barn. My favorite thing is feeding the kitties their breakfast and treats. The kitties welcome the volunteers with meows, purrs and cuddles.

Save the Cats AZ recently took in a kitty named Dakota from my neighborhood. This kitty was semi feral. Not really afraid of humans but would not let you approach her. She would lie out in the open which made her a probable target of predators or unkind humans. Several neighbors and I saw her almost get hit by cars on numerous occasions. I found it very difficult to sleep worrying about her so. Save the Cats AZ agreed to take her in and now she is safe and I no longer worry about her safety. It’s such a relief to know she’s in a loving environment and I can still visit her.
I have been volunteering here for 5 years, and I appreciate all the effort that goes into caring for the cats. It's clear that they are very well cared for! These cats have become like a second family to me.
STCAZ takes such wonderful care of all the kitties and provides such a safe and comfortable space for rehabilitating cats that have come from a rough situation. I’ve been volunteering with STCAZ for 4 years and absolutely love this organization. Thank you for all that you guys do!
I recently became a volunteer at Save the Cats of Arizona, and I absolutely love this place! It’s a compassionate and safe sanctuary for cats, and I’m truly honored to be part of this incredible organization. The dedication of the other volunteers is inspiring, and together, we’re making such a positive impact on the lives of these loving cats.
Love this organization! Helping community cats, fostering cats waiting for adoption and advocating for responsible pet care!
STCAZ gives every kitty a safe, loving, compassionate home for the rest of their days. The dedicated volunteers do their best to make all the cats feel welcome and loved.
Save The Cats Arizona offers a sanctuary for homeless cats both stray and feral. They rank as one of the most compassionate rescues in the valley. Cats that would normally live and die on the streets have an opportunity to live safe, healthy lives with loving volunteers caring for them.
One day a week this year, I spent volunteering at the physical shelter. While I've sung the praises of the shelter itself every year - this year, I also fostered 8 orphan neo-natal kittens for the nonprofit. It was a very busy year for rescuing kittens...kittens found by volunteers, kittens found by others and even a box of kittens left on our doorstep. I could not have done what I did without the support of the group. They covered the food, the formula, the veterinary care and made it possible for each kitten to safely find its way to their forever family.

I have now been a volunteer at Save The Cats Arizona for nearly four years. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to work with such a dedicated team of people and know that we make a difference in the lives of so many cats. STCAZ provides shelter in a free-roaming setting, sustenance, grooming and veterinary care for, currently, 68 cats. I cannot call them homeless - we are their home and their family. While it is our goal to see them ultimately in a more traditional home, we understand that for some this will not happen. No matter what - we reap the rewards of what we do every day. When a cat that was fearful of humans suddenly leaps into your lap, when a cat that is ill is returned to health or when a cat has been given up on by other humans and ends up proving them wrong by thriving in our care. It's always nice to know when you make a difference.
Save the Cats Arizona does a great job at helping local community cats! I appreciate that the cats are not kept in cages, and are free to roam within the sanctuary.

Save The Cats AZ are a wonderful group of people who do so much for the cats who need the most help. They have created a safe home for cats that have been abandoned or have come into a situation where their caretakers can no longer care for them and have no where to go. They also offer adoption for any cats that they have determined to be healthy & friendly and ready to be adopted. I adopted a cat from them and would recommend anyone else to contact them if they are interested in adopting a cat.
I’m so proud to be a part of this wonderful nonprofit organization that helps community cats & kittens in need. We make such a difference in the lives of the cats & are committed to a no-kill philosophy.

I’m so happy & proud to be involved with Save the Cats Arizona! Definitely a wonderful organization working hard to help cats & kittens in need!
I have struggled with depression and anxiety for years and volunteering at the sanctuary helped me overcome so much. I learned so many life lessons from the cat residents. The other volunteers are all so kind and I’ve never felt so comfortable in a place that wasn’t my home. It became my own heaven on earth where I was able to be surrounded by kitties who loved me. Also, Anissa is such a wonderful person and is always there to help even if the problem seems small.
This place is amazing! They provide a safe home for the kitties that most rescues won’t since most of the kitties are not adoptable.
I have volunteered with this organization for 11 years. I’ve seen them expand the Sanctuary to save and protect more kitties. They are amazing in helping abandoned kittens and nurturing & socializing them for wonderful homes.
It is an all-volunteer organization that willingly seeks to give each cat the medical, social, environment it needs to get its deserved forever home.
The 2 photos below are of my 2 kitties from Save the Cats AZ. Both gotten as young kitties..1 is 11, the other 17!
This charity takes excellent care of their cats - ensuring that they receive good medical care in addition to a lot of affection and attention. I adopted my wonderful cat Kleo from Save Cats as well and while she was feral when taken in, she became a sweet and affectionate cat in their care.
Excellent care in this sanctuary!! Every time I visit I see hard working volunteers. Let’s all show our appreciation for all the time And effort going into this wonderful organization.
Very friendly, dedicated people who take care of cats with all needs. They’ve done medication administration, treat and release, and daily care. You can tell that the cats are so loved and well taken care of.
I am not only a volunteer but have adopted two kitties from Save Our Cats Arizona. Everyone cares about each and every cat or kitten. I have attached a pic of each one; Leon and Opie.
I came to volunteer with Save the Cats AZ last April and it changed my life. The love we give these animals is so pure, and it has helped me in all aspects of my own life. I love volunteering for Save The Cats AZ. It is my proudest accomplishment to be able to say I work with them.

We have worked with STCAZ for 2 years now. These kitties are so loved and cared for. Everyone involved is dedicated to providing them with the best possible life whether that be adoption, foster or permanent residency at the sanctuary. We couldn't be more proud of the work we all do here.
The sanctuary provides a wonderful home with plenty of space for the cats to explore, play and relax.
Run by a team of truly dedicated volunteers who help provide the love and safety the residents need.
Save the Cats AZ, is a wonderful organization! The volunteers at the sanctuary, and those who foster and help with adoptions, are some of the best people ever!
Recently, the sanctuary helped me by taking in an older female cat who was left behind at a apartment complex 8 months ago. This kitty was finally caught and taken to the sanctuary, looked over and helped with a unexpected abcess.
The volunteers are knowledgeable and handled this kitty with care. They also made sure she had a safe place to be within the sanctuary until she adjusts to her new surroundings.
I appreciate their dedication , devotion in helping as many cats as they can. Whether feral, or strays, friendly lost kitties and kittens, this organization takes very good care of each cat and truly care!
Thank you, Save the Cats AZ !
You know you're working somewhere special when you can expect that 1-2hrs to always be a highlight of your week. The volunteers are so friendly and helpful that it's a little easy to look forward to your shift each and every time. Not to mention, there are some very playful cats who love nothing more than being petted and following you around the shelter.

This is one of the best non-profit organizations I've ever worked for! The other volunteers are extremely helpful and friendly. Really feels like I am a part of something special and each volunteer session is not only fun but also rewarding due to the much-improved atmosphere and setting the cats find themselves in. Truly great for the cats to socialize with wonderful people and to prepare them for adoption and finding a furever home!
The love and care provided to our numerous kitties by the many dedicated Volunteers never ceases to amaze me! I am proud to be associated with this most worthy nonprofit organization. Meow.
Have volentered for this wonderful organization for 3 years over this time have seen many cats rescued from the street's and living under horrible conditions. This is truly an organization of unsung heroes.
Save the Cats has been absolutely amazing! The facility is always clean and you can tell they genuinely care and love for every single cat they’ve rescued. If you are interested in adopting a cat, you absolutely have to go through S.T.C.!
Save the Cats provides food, water, medication and love to furry friends who would otherwise be euthanized. A non-profit truly fueled by volunteers, this is a worthy organization to share your time and funds with.
I have been volunteering at Save the Cats Arizona sanctaury for about a year and a half now and absolutely love it. It's a great place to volunteer if you want to meet some wonderful people, meet some wonderful cats, and relax in the sanctuary. I have learned so much about cats through volunteering here and hope to continue volunteering here for many years. If you want a great place to get volunteer experience, this is a wonderful opportunity for you, and I'd highly recommend it. If not, you can still come by and check us out through special events being held throughout the year, or at Petco where there are some adorable adoptable kitties.
This is a really wonderful group that is trying to find homes for homeless and unwanted cats. Any volunteer there can really see how they do everything they can to provide a home, whether that be the large private sanctuary or adopting kitties to new owners. And for the cats that are able to be adopted, the volunteers put in a lot of work to try and find homes for them. I don’t see any reason why a person could not support this nonprofit.
I adopted a kitten I fostered. He became part of the family and he is very loved. Roger now Dodger aka babiest.

I volunteer weekly for save the cats arizona at petco. I love the compassion and care that goes into each cat they help. Whether it be at the sanctuary, petco or outside of that. I've been blessed to be a part of their journey in helping cats be cared for until they find their forever home. And essentially finding so many cats homes along the way.
I started volunteering at Save the Cats AZ almost 2 years ago. They're an organization that truly cares about the kitties and the volunteers that take care of them. It has been such a rewarding experience to be part of the Save the Cats team. I highly recommend them to become a volunteer or to donate to. They do good work!
I love Save the Cats AZ! I've adopted 3 cats from them and volunteered at their cat sanctuary.
They provide a loving sanctuary for cats who would usually be passed over or euthanized. The volunteers work tirelessly and love each and every cat.
I cannot reccomend Save the Cats AZ enough!
Been volunteering here for a few months now and it's an awesome sanctuary for so many cats.
They have a great safe, set-up, loads of space on multiple levels to keep things interesting for the cats.
Everyone involved cares deeply for the cat's wellbeing.
Have volunteered with them for over a year dedicated volunteers handle all their needs from vet visits to cleaning their litterbox has taken in a number of cats who are considered not adoptable by many rescue groups and provided them with a home surrounded by loving volunteers.
I have both fostered and volunteered for Save the cats of AZ rescue, and they always take great care and concern in making sure all their cats and kittens are well taken care of, and that the fosters are in good communication with staff. They support the community whenever possible by taking in cats the are in need . They have an outstanding Reputation for finding adoptable cats their forever homes, as well as long term feral care at their contained sanctuary where they get vet care , Love and attention everyday . I would highly recommend volunteering for this rescue and/or fostering for Save the cats of AZ
I love STCAZ!!
I volunteered with them at one of their adoption outlets for about three years, and it was so wonderful!
I was sad when my schedule changed and I wasn’t able to continue to volunteer with them.
I’m a cat person myself, and Katrina was always a resource and willing to help me when I crossed paths with the opportunity to rescue homeless or struggling kitties.
As well as doing what she could to get the kittens healthy and up to date with shots so they’re ready to find furever homes!
And most importantly, they vet out their adopting candidates— standards for placing these kitties into caring, and loving homes, ie; adopting applicants will be denied if they intend to de-claw the cat, or if the home environment seems too stressful (large dogs in the house with a cat that they know won’t handle it well) etc.
Highly recommend this organization!
I am a foster mommy to cats and kittens and pregnant mamas too. I foster for Save The Cats Arizona. They have been such an awesome rescue to work with. The cats always get the medical attention they need. They supply food and litter for them as well. Save The Cats Arizona finds these cats and kittens such wonderful adopters. I miss them when they move on, but I know they will be so very loved for the rest of their lives. We've given them a great start for an awesome life! Thank you Save The Cats Arizona! Lisa Petrucci
What a wonderful group of people! They work hard to help those who are down on their luck, and they do it gladly. I volunteered, I adopted, and I was conquered. Please support Save the Cats Arizona.
I started volunteering with STCAZ over two years ago and have adopted two of my sweet fur babies through them. I love them more than anything possible and I love volunteering with the cats and other volunteers at the sanctuary. I have personally witnessed so much amazing good that this organization does and I highly recommend getting involved with them and donating!
I decided to foster for Save The Cats AZ after loosing a loved pet. They are so professional and will help out with anything you need. You can tell they really care for the animals under their care. I ended up adopting one of my foster kittens and I couldnt be happier.
We have been volunteering with STCAZ for the last 4 years and we couldn't be happier! The compassion that the volunteers have for the kitties in our care couldn't be more loving. We are like one giant family working together and supporting each other all for the love and care of the kitties.
Amazing organization ran by amazing people. They will help you find the perfect cat for your family ensuring its a fit for both the adopter and the adoptee. They take care of all of their animals as if they're their own. I love volunteering for them because they truly are making a change and finding a better life for the cats who didn't have a chance.
Save The Cats Arizona is a fantastic cat rescue organization. It is run by a group of selfless, dedicated people who's only goal is to care for homeless cats. There are no politics involved in this organization as there are in so many other rescue organizations. The members of the board along with the volunteers work together as one cohesive unit for the betterment of their feline rescues. More importantly they work together as friends and cat lovers. Every penny they get goes into caring for the cats. Every cat they save is loved and cared for.
I adopted my cat from save the cats. I walked by him in the pet store and he started purring at me. I immediately fell in love with him. I still go to Petco and when I do I stop and pet the cats that save the cats has. Every single cat I pet is so sweet. I haven't seen one aggressive or unfriendly cat. Which tells me they take very good care of them and show them love. Every cat I have encountered from save the cats is very friendly and loving. It makes me happy to know that this organization is treating these cats kind. Thank you save the cats for all you do. And most of all Thank You for my sweet cat Pete.
This organization really cares about their kitties. I’ve volunteered for 2 years and I always noticed how much they care for the kitties’ health, having a cat-friendly environment, and maintaining the love for every cat (feral or not). And also, many volunteers are super friendly and support one another :)
About two years ago I decided I needed some fur in my life, and i decided to foster a cat to give it a test run. I’d never grown up with a cat, so I was a complete beginner! Everyone at Save the Cats was SO amazing in helping me find the perfect match. I’m so in love with my first “foster-fail”, as they affectionately call fosters turned adoptions. Everyone was so supportive as I learned how to be a cat mom, and I know I could always reach out to them with any questions or help I may need. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I love my Boomer and I love STCAZ!!
I’ve adopted two cats from STCAZ! They are an amazing rescue with volunteers who truly have a passion finding homes for displaced cats. I’m so thrilled I found my two little angels through save the cats az. Wonderful organIzation who cares and loves these rescues as if they were their own. I was so impressed that even I started to volunteer with them! Definitely would adopt through them again!
I adopted my ginger cat Hans Solo from Save the Cats Arizona. I was so happy to connect with his foster mom, who volunteers for Save the Cats, and to see pictures of his birth mom, who lives in the shelter. Save the Cats Arizona is just an amazing organization!!
I have been a volunteer for a year and the people there are just wonderful. They truly care about the mission to make the cats comfortable, cared for, and loved. When something needs to be done at the sanctuary, there are plenty of volunteers that make the effort to show up and help out.
This rescue has a beautiful beginning and has grown into a respected and loving rescue. I've volunteered at their fund raising garage sales a few times and have made multiple donations to them. The volunteers and fosters are all so kind and considerate and truly love all their kitties.
Our rescue and sanctuary started more than 10 years ago, and is all volunteer operated.
More than 50 felines, rescued from harm’s way, currently call the sanctuary their home. Many of them unadoptable, will live out their days in peace and safety.
As rescue cats are healed, rehabilitated, and trusting of humans, they are able to be adopted into loving homes!
Here’s a peak at some of the sanctuary residents showing off!
This east valley shelter rescues and has a sanctuary home for feral cats who are not social with humans & are deemed adoptable by society. The all volunteer group works with these innocent felines, helps get them healthy, and then spends time working with the cats to build trust and confidence. It is a great team of animal loving individuals who go above & beyond to help!
