    Sponsor a Cat


     

    Sponsor a Cat or Dog

    Sponsoring helps pay for food, litter, shelter, and veterinary care. Animals needing sponsors are shown below. Sponsor at one of seven levels: Bronze, SilverGoldPlatinumEmeraldRuby, or Diamond Paw. Annual, monthly, or weekly sponsor payments may be made by mailing a check (or setting up mailing of checks from your bank) to P.O Box 32115, Tucson, AZ  85751, or using PayPal (see the bottom of this page for sponsorship levels.) Sending checks is preferred as it avoids PayPal fees, so every penny goes to the cats!

    Sponsor a specific animal at the Silver Paw level or higher, and you’ll receive aCertificate of Sponsorship with your name and your sponsored animal’s photograph, and we’ll send periodic updates on your sponsored animal. You mayvisit your sponsored animal on Friday or Saturday noon – 3pm or by appointment (520-289-2747.)

    Benji

    Benji is beautiful but quite shy. He pretends not to like attention unless you are bringing him treats. A sponsor could help Benji warm up to humans even more.

    Blaine is currently in a foster home because he needs a special diet. He came in as a feral cat but has learned to love to have his head petted.

    Butters

    Butters is as cute as can be. He tested positive for Feline leukemia and lives in our Flanwill leukemia house with about 40 friends. Butters loves to play in running water!
