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).

Nivea has already overcome more in her young life than most cats ever will. She came to Sun Cities 4 Paws as a kitten and was diagnosed with FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). This brave girl fought her way through treatment and is now a happy, healthy survivor ready for the next chapter of her life — a forever home. Born in July 2024, Nivea is a beautiful tabby with a gentle, sweet personality. She can be a little shy at first and needs someone who understands that the best relationships are sometimes built slowly. Once she feels comfortable, her sweet nature begins to shine and a patient adopter who gives her time to settle in will be rewarded with a wonderful companion. Nivea is sensitive to quick movements and can become frightened when things get too hectic, so she would do best in a calm, quieter home.

After spending nearly two years with us and beating FIP along the way, Nivea deserves something very special: a patient person, a peaceful home, and the chance to finally know what it means to belong. Meet her 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

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.
