KIND TO NATURE has been saving lives and helping the birds and animals in our urban
neighborhoods for over 20 years! 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
Animals for Adoption page for photos and information on some special kitties
needing homes.
DONATIONS ALWAYS NEEDED for medical expenses, food and supplies for the kitties in
our Cat Sanctuary. Please consider making a recurring monthly donation for their
care by clicking on the Donate button above. See also our Wishlist on the Donations page for items we use that
can be purchased.
SPRING TIME IS HERE!
THAT MEANS "KITTEN SEASON" and "BABY BIRD SEASON" to us!
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.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND A BABY BIRD? Proceed with caution. What
you think might be helping could be all wrong and could harm the bird. See our Wild Birds page
for more information and
Resource Page for finding qualified help.
EASTER WARNINGS - Please no baby chicks, ducks or bunnies as gifts
for children or adults! Stay with stuffed or chocolate animals. Too many
of these "gifts" wind up tossed aside when they are no longer cute babies.
BEWARE OF POISONOUS PLANTS - especially Easter Lilies which are dangerous and deadly
to cats!
See our Seasonal Reminders
page for more.
MORE INFO YOU CAN USE:
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
cats requiring special care and/or handling (i.e., feral kittens and "skittish"
adult rescues). If you can help, please send an email to ktnbarb@aol.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 more resources and information.
DO NOT TURN IN PETS (yours or found), STRAY OR FERAL CATS OR KITTENS TO A COUNTY
SELTER 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!
That includes people who do not provide proper care for their pets and homeowners
and landlords threatening to harm feral cats. If you have a tenant who is taking
care of neutered feral cats, they are doing the right thing, the humane thing,
and the practice recognized and encouraged by state, local and national authorities,
agencies and humane societies everywhere. When we get reports of neighbors and landlords
threatening to kill such cats, we will advise people to notify the authorities immediately.
PLEASE KEEP PETS INSIDE AND PROTECT FERALS/STRAYS YOUR 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 - NOT!
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.
