Bird Flu is on the rise and can kill cats!

Bird flu can infect both wild and domestic cats and can be deadly. It's spread through raw meat, unpasteurized milk, and contact with infected birds, their bodies, or their droppings.

To protect your kitties, we recommend the following:
1. Don't feed any raw meat, including raw cat diets.
2. Don't feed any raw, unpasteurized milk.
3. Keep cats indoors. All outdoor cats hunt, and most hunt birds, whether you see their prey or not.
4. If you have birds in your yard, either wild or poultry, avoid sick or dead birds and wash your hands and clothes carefully if you come in contact with any birds or their droppings.

Merry Christmas!
We hope you all were as excited as our Grady was to open his presents this morning. He and his foster mom were up bright and early this morning.

We are blessed to have a great crew of volunteers who came to clean the shelter this morning, foster parents that care for our neediest kitties, and volunteers who plan our fundraising, and our volunteer board of directors. That's the best gift of all!

Violet has been adopted!
She went for a home visit and decided to stay, these people have really comfortable furniture, better accommodations than the shelter!
We are thrilled for her, and she will get to spend summers in her Pine Top home too. What a lucky girl!

Lewis was adopted today!
A mostly reformed feral cat, FIP survivor has finally found a home! His new people understand and accept his timid nature and his sometimes clutzy, less than graceful gait, that's left over from his bout with neurological FIP.
We are thrilled that he has been adopted.

How do we say thank you when thank you just doesn't seem like enough?

You all came together to donate $7705! And the check for the $5000 matching donation is on its way! And, we got another $5000 grant from a local foundation!
Wow!
We are so very grateful for the generosity you've shown yesterday and through our 14 1/2 years of saving lives.

You all are truly amazing and appreciated!

Waldorf (left photo) and Penny are 2 more of our kitties that will live with us forever.
You can see Waldorf's open mouth, he was hissing and spitting at the camera, he really isn't fond of people at all! He was an older kitten that just didn't settle into liking people even though he had an experienced foster.
The same goes for Penny, she was caught just a little too late for her to become very trusting of people. Her foster mom and dad spent hours and hours with her and her siblings trying to get them over their hissy spitty ways. Penny does like a few of our volunteers and has even been taken home twice to see if she will adjust. Nope. She hides and goes right back to her very feral ways. She is happier in the shelter.

We don't intentionally intake feral cats, but we do try to give kittens the chance to settle down and find a home. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.
That's where you, our supporters come in; through your generosity cats like Waldorf and Penny will be safe and cared for, for life. As long as Pawsitively Cats stays in business they will have a home here.
Waldorf and Penny can also be sponsored for a $25 monthly donation.

If you can make a donation before midnight, we will be very grateful!

We took these 5 week old babies on Thursday. Apparently their mom was trapped by the landlord of the gentleman that brought them in, he didn't know what was done with the mother. He told us PACC couldn't take them and another shelter was full. We said we'd take care of them until they are ready for adoption. There are 4 boys and 2 girls. They have mild upper respiratory symptoms but are eating well and very active! We started meds and they are already looking better.

Happy Father's Day. We hope your tummy is full and you are as relaxed as little Marc Jacobs is!

16 year old Achilles LOVES cat nip! He gets very rambunctious when he's on the nip! Does your kitty love cat nip?

We made it back! Sam will relax with us until his family comes on Saturday to take him home. Sam traveled very nicely for everyone, just a little singing every now and then. He was quiet and slept most of the way back to Tucson. He was happy to get out of the car and get a bowl of wet food!

We are having a new heat/AC unit installed in our feral cat house today. When we moved to this property we could only afford 2 small window units. They have served us well for 9 years, but lately they have not been working well. One unit quit all together! So, our wonderful AC guy, Jon with Airworks is putting in a mini-split unit today. Total cost is $2600. It will be more efficient and save us some money on the electric bill. With your generous support today and year round we can keep our kitties comfortable!

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.
