INTRODUCTION TO VALLEY CATS

Welcome to Valley Cats, an all volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit cat rescue organization. We are so happy that you wish to help our furry friends find homes.  Without dedicated volunteers, like you, we would not be able to accomplish our goals.

We are a group of professional adults who started Valley Cats in January 2001.  We have over 40 years of combined rescue experience and knowledge.   

Each and every week our Foster Moms open their homes to frightened, sick or injured kitties.  The kitties are checked for parasites, fleas, ear mites, or other external conditions that may need a Veterinarian's attention.  Then our Veterinarians combo test each kitty for Feline Aids (FIV)/ Feline Leukemia (FeLV), and perform the spay or neuter surgery. Our Foster Moms administer the necessary medications and provide a safe, warm, and loving environment until the kitties are ready to go to adoption.  At adoption day the Adoption Counselors answer questions and try to match the unique personality of each kitty with their prospective adoptor. 

We adopt our kitties at the Ahwatukee PETCO store on Ray Road and I-10 every Saturday from 11am-5pm and every Sunday from 2-5pm.  We also adopt from the Chandler PETCO store on Chandler Road and Dobson Road the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month from 11am - 3pm.

Our love of animals, especially cats, is what prompted us to combine our talents and provide a needed service to our community and to the animals we so dearly love.  During our first year of rescue, we have found homes for over 500 homeless kittens and adult cats.  

Many of our cats and kittens are taken from the euthanasia list at the pound.  We have also rescued cats from behind restaurants/businesses, in ditches, at worksites, in people's backyards, from the middle of the street, or in the desert.  Homeless cats are everywhere and there is no shortage of cats that need our help.

Our mission is to rescue HOMELESS cats and place them into lifetime loving homes.  In order for us to remain true to our mission, we are concentrating our efforts on homeless cats only.
