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).

Tom (green eyes) & Jerry (orange eyes) are a bonded pair of 13-year-old best friends who have spent their entire lives together—and they’re looking for a quiet, loving home where they can stay side by side. These sweet boys came to us when their longtime owner could no longer care for them, and it’s been a big adjustment after losing the only home they ever knew. Both Tom and Jerry are incredibly gentle and affectionate, just a little shy at first. Jerry is the more outgoing of the two and quickly leans into pets and attention, happily soaking up love once he feels comfortable. Tom is a bit more reserved and tends to tuck himself under blankets where he feels safe, but with time and patience, his loving personality begins to shine through. They spent two months in a foster home where they made wonderful progress—learning to relax, trust, and enjoy affection again. They were only returned because their foster had to leave for an extended period.

Tom and Jerry don’t ask for much—just a calm environment, a cozy place to snuggle (blankets are a plus!), and someone willing to give them the time they need to feel safe again. In return, you’ll get double the love from two deeply devoted companions who truly belong together. Meet them at the Peoria Shelter, 10807 N 96th Ave, Peoria AZ 85345, 623-773-2246.

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.
