SAVE A LIFE . . .
Adopt a shelter/rescued animal.

Help reduce pet overpopulation
PLEASE SPAY & NEUTER
your pets!

Our Philosophy
  All living things deserve respect and a chance to live a normal life.  We believe that since they were either here before us, brought here by us, or attracted to our neighborhoods because of the vegetation we plant, then we have a responsibility to be careful of them and protect them.  We are supposed to be the smart ones, the civilized ones -–they are all just trying to survive and at our mercy.
 
NEVER FORGET CECIL THE LION.
NEVER FORGET CECIL THE LION and what was done to him and so many other magnificent, beautiful wild animals in the name of "sport."  Please help put an end to trophy hunting and poaching!
 

IT'S HOT!!  Please leave pets at home - do not leave your dog in a parked car.  70 degrees turns to 90 quickly and over that will kill your pet.
Also - PLEASE do not leave in a running car & risk your vehicle being stolen with your pet inside!!!  If you can't keep them with you where you are going, just leave them at home or with a friend please.
REMEMBER - If you can't walk barefoot on the hot surface, don't make your dog walk on it!!!  More info:  http://aldf.org/cases-campaigns/action-alerts/dogs-in-hot-cars/overview-of-state-laws-leaving-unattended-animals-in-vehicles/
  • proposed law - Arizona: HB 2494 provides civil immunity for persons who rescue a domestic animal from a locked and unattended vehicle after notifying law enforcement; currently a law enforcement officer can smash car windows to save an animal.  I would do it myself anyway - would you?  

HOMES/FOSTERS NEEDED:
CORNELIUS - young adorable FIV+ kitty needs a special home or a foster!
SIMON & GARFUNKEL want to be "Homeward Bound" together. 
Can you give a forever home to these sweet boys? 
And ELSA - a pretty b/w learning to be an inside cat needs you!
Please see our Animals for Adoption page for more info.

WE DESPERATELY NEED DONATIONS!!
FOSTERS NEEDED for kittens born to feral moms, socialize & care so they can become adoptable pets and find good homes.

**PLEASE SPAY/NEUTER FERAL OR STRAY CATS YOU ARE FEEDING.  By feeding them, they become your responsibility.  Spaying and neutering prevents reproduction, over population, becoming a burden to you, tragedy to them and a nuisance to neighbors.  Contact ADLA's TNR Program for more information at 602-265-7729.  NOW is a good time before un-neutered cats start breeding again!  Or visit their website http://www.adlaz.org/group/trap-neuter-return.
Also, please see our Feral Cat page for more info on how to help our street cat friends.

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. 

**********************************

*DO NOT TURN IN PETS (yours or found), STRAY CATS OR KITTENS TO A COUNTY SHELTER OR THE ARIZONA HUMANE SOCIETY (not a no-kill shelter).  
Please contact us or a no-kill rescue group (see Resource Page) for help.

Kind to Nature (KTN) is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping and improving the quality of life of the birds and animals that share our urban neighborhoods, be they pets, strays, wild and/or injured birds or other wildlife, with special emphasis on increasing awareness and compassion for feral cats and reducing the pet overpopulation crisis in the Valley.
 

Our primary function is to assist the community with all types of pet/animal issues by providing information, instruction, consulting and referrals to people needing such assistance and specifically identify and assist with feral/street cat issues in our neighborhood. We play an active role in working with the general public and the rescue community in placing animals, facilitating lost and found efforts, saving animals from euthanasia and related matters.

KTN maintains an indoor sanctuary providing a permanent home for rescued unadoptable cats taken in on a special case basis. These cats are generally not "pet quality" or have special needs, so they stay with us their entire lives, which means we have to continue to care for them all their lives through sickeness and old age.  We do not do adoptions so have limited sources of funds.  PLEASE HELP US TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR MANY RESIDENTS. DONATIONS ARE MUCH NEEDED AT THIS TIME --please see our Donations page on how the products we use and how to make a donation.

We do not take in animals for adoption, although occasionally we do have to find homes for rescued animals or kittens born from rescued strays/feral cats and or by assisting others in the community in placing adoptable animals. PLEASE SEE OUR ADOPTION PAGE FOR ANIMALS needing homes.

Please refer to the Resource Page for a listing of no-kill rescue organizations for help placing an animal and the Feral Cat page for more info on what to do if you find kittens, a stray cat or know of a feral cat situation and need help with TNR! PLEASE DO NOT TURN AN ANIMAL IN TO THE HUMANE SOCIETY OR THE COUNTY SHELTERS - at this time, less than 50% ever get out alive and most pet surrenders are euthanized immediately!!!
