KIND TO NATURE has been saving lives and helping the birds and animals in our urban
neighborhoods and the people who care about them for over 25 years!
With a focus on feral and unsocialized cats, we assist people in the community, work with other rescues and shelters, and utilize
fosters to save at-risk and hard-to-adopt cats and kittens, and maintain the KIND TO NATURE CAT SANCTUARY® providing lifetime care
for those cats that are unadoptable or can't be placed elsewhere for various reasons.
Please Note: We do not intake pets for re-homing or do adoptions.
Please refer to the list of no-kill rescues on the Resources
page for a list of reputable rescues that might be able to help.
Please
see our About KTN
page for more about what we do and how you can help.
Check out our Resources
page for a list of many helpful numbers and websites you can use!
Please visit our Cats for Adoption page for photos and information on some special kitties
needing homes. **Kind to Nature does not intake adoptable cats or kittens. Listed cats are primarily courtesy posts for people we are assisting.**
DONATIONS ARE ALWAYS NEEDED for medical expenses, food and supplies for the
kitties who are permanent residents in our Sanctuary. Please consider making a recurring
monthly donation for their care by clicking on the Donate button above. See also
our Donations
page for other easy ways you can support our cause and our Wish list.

MORE INFO YOU CAN USE:
DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND KITTENS? Please resist the temptation
to "rescue" what appear to be orphan kittens. Just because you see them alone, does
not mean they need rescuing (unless they are in obvious imminent danger!). Please
see our Feral Cat
page for more information and instructions on what to do if you find kittens.
FOSTERS NEEDED! Fostering saves lives. All animal shelters, especially
no-kill rescues need fosters to save lives of the many animals needing rescue and
being surrendered. Kind to Nature is occasionally in need of individuals to foster
feral kittens for socializing and cats requiring special care and/or handling. If
you can help, please send an email to info@kindtonature.com.
PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER all ferals/strays you are feeding and help neighbors
if they need it. Please see our Feral Cat page and the
Resource page for helpful resources and information.
DO NOT TURN IN PETS (yours or found), STRAY OR FERAL CATS OR KITTENS TO A COUNTY
SHELTER OR THE ARIZONA HUMANE SOCIETY (the AHS is not a no-kill
shelter). Feral cats and kittens will likely be euthanized. Please see our Feral Cat page on what to do if you
find kittens (or pregnant feral cat). Please contact us or a no-kill rescue group
(see Resource
Page) for help. See Special
Alerts page for more info.
NEVER OFFER A PET OR FOUND ANIMAL FOR FREE to anyone you don't know.
Bad people with bad intentions can be very deceiving to someone not skilled in
screening. Always do a home check.
ANIMAL CRUELTY IS A CRIME in Arizona and punishable by jail time!
A.R.S. 13-2910. That includes people who do not provide proper care for their
pets and homeowners and landlords threatening to harm or remove feral cats, harming
community cats or tampering with food provided to a feral colony. When we get reports
of neighbors and landlords threatening to kill or remove such cats, we will advise
people to notify the authorities immediately. We have flyers, posters and handouts
available to feral feeders.
PLEASE KEEP PETS INSIDE AND PROTECT FERALS/STRAYS YOU ARE FEEDING!!
Coyotes are becoming more prevalent and a constant danger to small animals. Owls
are also dangerous predators of cats -- they hunt in the evening and early morning.
Pet & Feral Cat Poisonings are being reported in our area the last several months.
Your pet or feral could be a victim of paid or indiscriminate trapping. Beware of
"pest control" companies and the like claiming they will trap and humanely re-locate
ferals - THEY DO NOT! Feed ferals in a protected area, back yard if possible and
NEVER leave food out all night - it attracts predators.
See Special Alerts
page for more information.
IN LOVING MEMORY of all the special kitties that have graced our sanctuary
and sadly gone, none of whom would have had love, comfort and shelter if not for
us, no matter how long they were with us. You will never be forgotten.
