Pawsitively Cats No-Kill Shelter

Pawsitively Cats No-Kill Shelter Providing compassionate care to over 70 rescued cats and foster kittens! Donate or volunteer to help
(1)

Pawsitively Cats was able to purchase property and renovate the building to house our rescued cats. Our shelter accommodates cats available for adoption, Feline Leukemia cats, and in a separate building our feral or other non-social cats. We also support TNR in the community via education, trap lending and mentoring. You can see our "Adoptable Cats" and "Sponsor a Cat" albums in our Photos (under the "More" Tab.

Bob is happy (yes, that's his happy face!) to hear that we raised $7505 yesterday through our Giving Tuesday page. In addition to that we received a $5000 grant through PayPal Giving Fund grants from The RC Give Back Fund and $925 donated via our Zeffy App.
Just WOW!
Thank you all so very much! Your generosity continues to amaze us every time we ask for your help.

Bob is ready to turn in for the night, he's been trying to stay awake until Giving Tuesday is over hoping to see us make it to our fundraising goal. With just over two hours to go we are 73% of the way to our $10,000 goal! Will we be able to tell Bob we got to 100% in the morning?
We really appreciate every dollar donated today and each of you that donated.

Our newest members of the Leukemia room are 6-month-old kittens Jack, Koko and Cleo. They were born to a feral mama in someone's back yard. Fortunately, that person was able to catch the mom and move her and her babies indoors. She was able to get help to spay and neuter each of them but when they tested positive for Leukemia she reached out for help. She is keeping the mom but wanted the kittens to have a chance to be adopted.
Unfortunately, the kittens didn't get vaccines early enough and have been battling a bad upper respiratory virus since before they came to us. Jack is almost fully recovered; he is the gray tuxedo. Jack is full of energy and likes to run on the wheel like Gretel does. Koko is still not feeling 100% and their sister Cleo is still running high temperatures. They are getting antibiotics and supportive care to help them get through this infection. Then we can start their vaccine series over and hopefully keep them healthy. Once they are recovered and vaccinated, they can be adopted.
Our medical expenses so far this year are just over $44,000. We depend on donations from the public to pay for every expense we have. YOU are that important to our kitties and we greatly appreciate your support today and every day!
Please make the best donation you can for our cats.

Handsome Hansel hopes you won't fall asleep before you have a chance to make a donation for him and the fifteen other cats living in the Leukemia room. Just like Hansel they enjoy laying in the sunny spots on their private porch. Doesn't he have the best belly!? Purrfect for gentle petting!
We really appreciate every donation we receive for our kitties today; your support means the world to them and us humans who take care of them.

Charlie is amazed to hear that people are making such generous donations today so he can continue to live in comfort in the shelter.
He was living in a feral colony trying to survive with an injury to his shoulder that left him with nerve damage in his front leg. Veterinarians guessed he may have been hit by a car or otherwise struck very hard by something to cause the injury. Very nice people who monitor that colony to get the cats spayed and neutered and medical care as needed, trapped him and got him to their clinic. Charlie isn't a true feral cat; he was just in survival mode so it was determined that he should not be put back outside. The people tried to find him a home but didn't have any luck.
Since Charlie has been with us, he has blossomed into a very active sweet boy. Just recently he has decided people are pretty nice because they give him treats and gentle pets. He does have a limp, but he climbs the climbers and uses the scratching posts just like any other cat. We hope he will be adopted someday, if just the right people come along who will give him plenty of time and space to settle in.

Gorgeous orange tabby Juno had to have all of her teeth removed this summer. She is feeling much better and even lets people get a few pets in before she runs away. Juno and her sister Luna were very feral kittens that didn't become social to people even though they were young enough and had good foster homes. They live in our "purple house" for the less than social cats. All of the kitties in that house are well spoiled with treats, plates of wet food every day and a nice quiet sunny porch. They appreciate visitors who bring treats and cooked chicken to them!
We give them the best care we can, none of them deserved to have been born to feral parents and start their lives on the streets.
If you have feral/free roaming/community cats in your neighborhood, please be a good person and TNR all of the cats that you can. Learn about TNR here :

the medical care is free at several clinics in Tucson

Eighteen-year-old Max returned to shelter several months ago when his adopters decided they could no longer care for him. We wish they made that decision sooner; Max was in grave condition weighing just 3 1/4 pounds. He has thyroid disease, kidney disease and a chronic upper respiratory infection we have been treating since he arrived. Max has a will to live, and we have the will to help him have as many good days as he can have. He now weighs 4 1/2 pounds, he has a great appetite and likes all of the prescription kidney foods we have. Many of our kidney cats get picky and won't eat certain foods, so we keep a variety of every kind of wet and dry food that is compatible with kidney disease on hand for them. We spend $1600 a month on prescription food, so you can see how important donations today and every day are to our kitties.
We ❤ Max!

Gretel is our cute, energetic gray tabby girl who loves to run on the wheel that was donated to the Leukemia room. Gretel loves attention and will climb our legs if we don't pick her up! She loves visitors and will show off by running full tilt on the wheel.
She has been a healthy kitty so far and could live well into her late teens as many of our Leukemia cats have. Gretel can be adopted or sponsored with a monthly donation.
Donations we receive today will help us keep all of our cats happy and healthy.

Our Story

Pawsitively Cats was founded in July 2010 as a Trap, Neuter and Return resource for the public. In 2012 we were called upon to take in more than 400 cats from another shelter that was shutting down. Many of those cats had health issues making the expense of caring for them even greater; with the support of a handful of dedicated volunteers and a lot of serious fundraising we managed to provide the cats with the best care possible. We took over the rental obligation for the properties those cats were housed at until 2015 when Pawsitively Cats purchased property and renovated that building to house our rescued cats. Our shelter accommodates cats and kittens available for adoption, Feline Leukemia cats, and in a separate building our feral or other non-social cats. Many of our cats are now in their senior years and will likely live out their lives with us. We also support TNR in the community thru education, trap lending and mentoring.

As a 501(c) 3 organization we are solely dependent on donations from the public to pay for every aspect of our operation. Your donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent IRS will allow.
