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.

Catalina is a true tortie! She can be friendly, but more often has a bit of an attitude. Most likely that means that she's a shelter cat for life. If you can help us out on Arizona Gives Day, it just might put a smile on her face: https://www.azgives.org/organization/Pawsitively-Cats

Hey! it's almost time for our POWER HOUR!

Get ready, at 2:00pm MST you can start making $100 donations to help us win that awesome $3000 prize again this year! You all rock it out for us every year!

Waldorf is one of our most feral kitties. We rescued him as a 3-month-old kitten seven years ago. He just never got the hang of accepting human care despite our best efforts. Waldorf gets to live with the other less than social kitties in their own building. They have a calm environment and a nice catio to relax on anytime they want to.
Waldorf was at risk for euthanasia at PACC, we thought he deserved a chance to have a long life in a safe environment. Sometimes he shows interest in people, especially at treat time and wet food time. He lets us approach him and place treats right in front of him! Someday he may decide we are trustworthy enough to actually interact with us!

Your support will help us keep Waldorf and all of our residents well fed and happy when their special treats are passed out!

You may recall seeing our posts about Nikolie when he was returned to the shelter last February. He was in grave condition. The few teeth he had left were rotting and infected, he had been diagnosed with thyroid disease but had not been kept on his medication. We also found that he had Valley Fever and probably had it for some time untreated. We got Nik on all of the medications he needed; he didn't have a very good chance of survival. We eventually took him to the oncology specialists for radioactive iodine treatment for his thyroid. Boy did that make a huge difference for him! At his lowest point Nikolie weighed just over 4 pounds despite eating huge amounts of food every day. Now, after all of the treatments and meds he's been on this past year he maintains a weight of 8 pounds. He still eats a lot, but his thyroid is in a normal range and his Valley Fever titer is low. He does have slightly elevated kidney values, so he eats the prescription diet quite well!
Nik will turn 15 years old in May, we hope he has many more years of better health!

When you support our shelter, you make it possible for us to take care of our cats if they need to return to us.

You can donate to help Nik and all the others who may need us in the future here:

All but a few of our current kitties will live out their lives with us. Most of them are in their senior years, many with health issues, or temperament issues like six-year-old Patrick here. We took Patrick and his siblings in when they were just beyond the age where they were able to be socialized. Since the area where they were found wasn't safe for them to return to, we kept them hoping they will eventually come to appreciate people. Two of his brothers did become sweet and social and have been adopted. Patrick his brother Powell and sisters Paige and Penny are still with us for life. Sometimes Patrick does allow volunteers to pet him, hopefully one day he will turn the corner and allow complete handling, we have seen it happen!

Any donation you can make today will help keep Patrick and all the others in our care safe for life.
We have 4.1k followers on our FB page, we hope you all are seeing and sharing our posts today. Make the best donation you can and share our posts please.

The 2:00 alarm has sounded! Nikolie says it's time to make your POWER HOUR donations!

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.
