Sun Cities 4 Paws

Sun Cities 4 Paws Cat Rescue would like to send a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, shared our posts, and sent supplies from our emergency kitten wish list during our recent exposure to the deadly panleukopenia virus. We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from our community. Because of your generosity, we received piles of boxes and bags of much-needed supplies along with online, in-person, and mailed donations that are helping us continue treatment and prevention efforts.

We are relieved to share that the kittens who were being treated are currently doing well, and we have had no new cases at the shelter at this time. We also had two cases in foster care that received treatment and are currently doing well too. Panleukopenia moves fast and can be devastating, so this is encouraging news, but we are continuing to remain extremely cautious and proactive.

This situation reminds us how important vaccinations are. The best protection against panleukopenia is keeping cats up to date on their FVRCP vaccines, especially kittens and vulnerable cats.

Thank you again for standing with us, supporting these kittens, and helping us continue to fight for every life that comes through our doors. Your kindness truly made a difference!

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

Intake to Foster 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).

Meet Aretha, affectionately known as Ting — a sweet and easy-going 7-year-old gray beauty who’s ready to settle back into the comfortable home life she loves so much. After spending her entire life as a cherished house cat, Aretha knows exactly how to enjoy the finer things: sunny windows, cozy cat trees, tasty meals with extra gravy, and plenty of affection from her humans.

This laid-back girl is incredibly loving and social. She’ll happily greet you by rubbing against your legs, asking for pets, and soaking up attention whenever she can get it. While she still enjoys playtime, she’s long past her wild kitten days and would much rather spend her time lounging nearby or basking in the sunshine. Aretha gets along well with other cats. She’s calm, confident, and adjusts easily to new environments without getting overly nervous or scared. Older children would likely be a great fit for her gentle personality.

If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate companion who will make your house feel even more like home, come & meet Aretha at the Peoria Shelter, 10807 N 96th Ave, Peoria AZ 85345 or call 623-773-2246. Additional cats available at PetSmart, 13764 W Bell Rd, Surprise AZ 85374

The Lucky Fund

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.
