Foster Program
This Foster program is for cats with specific medical, dietary or behavioral needs. Cats in the program can be of any age. Sun Cities 4 Paws will cover the cost
of any medical needs as directed by the 4 Paws veterinarian. Cats in this program are required to have quarterly wellness exams.
If you are interested in being a Permanent
or Temporary Foster, please email
information@4pawsrescue.org
How does it work? You ‘surrender’ the cat or kittens to us, but you generally keep them for 3-4 weeks* while bringing them in to us when required for necessary vet checks, vaccines and sterilization (if needed).
Not only does this guarantee your cat or found kittens a place to go in 3-4 weeks*, it keeps the cat or kittens in a home and comfortable, reducing stress, while we get them adoption ready, and it frees up needed shelter space. Once they are ready for adoption, you get a date to bring the cat or kittens in and they are adoption ready!
*Kittens usually take longer depending on age. Please call 623-773-2246 for additional information

Loving Legacy Program
When securing our future, we often forget to make provisions for our pets. Sun Cities 4 Paws Rescue has a program called the Loving Legacy which helps you to make provisions for your cat(s) if something were to prevent you from caring for them. Often people believe their families/friends will care for their fur babies and it turns out, they don’t want the added responsibility. Loving Legacy will give you a piece of mind.
Visit our Loving Legacy page for more information on how this program would help you and your little one(s).

Cats of the Week ~ Malachai & Pixelz
Happy New Year! We’re Malachai & Pixelz, bonded best friends for life. I’m Malachai, a handsome 3-year-old black kitty who was left outside the 4 Paws shelter over a year ago. My forever buddy Pixelz is an almost-2-year-old beautiful tortie who was rescued from a Fry’s parking lot. From the moment we met at 4 Paws, we became each other’s comfort and constant companions. Wherever I go, Pixelz is right behind me. We love chasing laser lights, batting at wand toys, and climbing as high as we can on cat trees. Wet food and treats are non-negotiable favorites! I’m the more social one, while my sweet Pixelz is shy and gentle. She needs a patient, loving home that will let her blossom at her own pace. While we’re not lap cats, we promise to fill your home with quiet companionship, warmth, and love.
Our New Year’s wish is simple: a forever home where we can stay together and be surrounded by comfort, safety, and kindness—together, always. We are located at Youngtown Adoption Center located at 11129 W. Michigan Ave Suite 1 in Youngtown. Their number is 623-876-8778 and are open Tuesday – Saturday, 10am to 3 pm. There are more kitties at the Peoria Adoption at 10807 N. 96th Ave in Peoria. As Youngtown, they are open Tuesday – Saturday 10-3pm. For questions, the number there is 623-773-2246. Lastly, we have more kitties at the Surprise Petsmart at 13764 W. Bell Rd.



The Lucky Fund started when we took in a cat that had been shot and had over 20 BB's throughout her body. The outpouring of donations was substantially more than what the costs were to save Lucky (who is doing great in a forever foster home!). We created 'The Lucky Fund' to help other cats we take in that needed medical care above and beyond normal veterinary care.
Volunteers are at the heart of our rescue. Learn more about the various opportunities to help the cats in our care!
We have dozens of cats looking for their fur-ever homes. Head on over to our Adopt page and meet our available 4 Paws cats!
