CNPS "helps people, help animals"...
Therefore we will help anyone, anywhere that is willing to "help us help the animals".
We adopt out adoptable cats and dogs and have a Spay-A-Stray program, TNR, for the feral cats.

Email Toni for a current CNPS flyer badkittyts@aol.com

SPAY-A-STRAY PROGRAM - CNPS is one of the very few rescue groups that focus on feral cats in our community. This program we have put together enables us to provide assistance with the trapping and altering of feral and un-owned stray cats. We have all seen them - these cats are living in business areas, empty lots behind restaurants, at airports and schools... maybe in your neighborhood. An active program of spay/neuter and release brings a feral colony under control (0% population increase), keeps new cats from coming into the area, greatly reduces fighting and spraying behavior, improves the overall health of the cats and DIRECTLY REDUCES THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS BEING EUTHANIZED AT THE COUNTY SHELTERS! Documentation has shown that total removal and euthanization of these cats has proven to be completely ineffective and more costly than a spay/neuter/release program. Many communities throughout the country have put into place a trap/alter/release program and found it to be the only EFFECTIVE way to control the feral cat population. Please get involved in this worthwhile program.

Save A Million Lives By Just Spaying One!

About Our Rescue Group:

CITIZENS FOR NORTH PHOENIX STRAYS 3-2012

EMAIL ME AND I WILL EMAIL YOU THIS FLYER IN PAGE FORM.
Let me know if its for a cat or a dog. badkittyts@aol.com

If you have a pet cat or pet dog that you want
to get spayed or neutered – This will help you.
If you found a tame or feral cat or if you found a dog
that you want to get fixed – This will help you.
If you are looking for help in finding a new home
for a pet or stray, dog or cat – This will help you.
If you feed strays YOU MUST ALSO SPAY AND NEUTER
or all you are doing is breeding cats to die
If you expect someone to do everything for you,
if you do not intend to follow thru,
if you do not have a vehicle, friends or family to
‘help you, help us’, then nobody or nothing will be able to save that animal’s life.
After reading this flyer you will have no excuse
not to make a difference

If you have LOST OR FOUND an animal
Call or visit Pets911.com 1-888-pets-911, Facebook 'Lost pets in Arizona',
put a lost pet ad on craigslist and look on craigslist under found pets,
AND POST SIGNS EVERYWHERE IMMEDIATLY!
Leave food out front and back. Put out clothing with your smell.
Tell neighbors to check bushes and sheds.
Email me for more info and ideas.

For feral/wild cats, cats you can not touch -
these cats DO NOT have to die!!
Call or visit Sara at Altered Tails 602-943-SPAY or http://www.alteredtails.org/ and
Call or visit The Spay and Neuter Hotline 602-265-SPAY or feralcats@adlaz.org
The Hotline has many programs that will work for everybody!! See bottom of page 3 of this flyer.
SPAY AND NEUTER THOSE STRAYS NOW
BEFORE THEY START BREEDING!
With Az weather cats go into heat 4x a yr v/s 1x yr.
1 stray will produce 27 new strays that will reproduce.
Don’t be angry with stray cats…
They are here because cruel irresponsible people threw them away.

We can help you find a new home for a pet or stray
First of all, we are not a shelter; we do not “take them in”. ***DON’T STOP, PLEASE READ ON***
If we took in every animal that we get called with everyday, all of our money would be spent on a
'building', housing animals instead of spaying and neutering and making a difference.
This 'building' would become a kill shelter. We would have to kill animals so we could take more in,
or this building would become a no kill shelter, we would always be full and not be able to help you anyway.
CNPS is the alternative.
We never have to say no! We will help everybody who is willing to ‘help us, help the animals’!

NO ANIMAL HAS TO DIE AT THE KILL SHELTERS
THERE IS PLENTY OF HELP
IF YOU MAKE THE EFFORT

We can help find a new home for a pet or stray cat or kittens
1 The compassionate responsible person that is willing to "help us, help the animal" will be my ‘contact’.
Do not call for a friend of a friend.
2 Every adoptable animal will always get adopted. We “work together” until I inform you that the animal has been adopted.
3 My ‘contact’ would bring the animal into a temporary safe inside environment, bathroom, bedroom, etc
We are not asking you to stress your pets out by mixing them with animals you are trying to help.
4 Email me 4 good inside photos and a story so I can get the animal listed online and get him in line for a space at Petsmart. Go to our websites above and pull up a story on a cat we have up for adoption. That is the kind of information I need for the story.
Tell me everything you would want a new owner to know.
5 Our only requirement is that the cat/kitten be spayed or neutered, and must be, before they can be listed.
Read page 3 to decide which program you want to use and how to use it.
6 If you will be using the Big Fix free voucher program you will need to get the applications and mail away for the vouchers NOW. DON’T WAIT! It takes 4-7 weeks for the vouchers to arrive. Kittens must be 2# or 10 wks old to get fixed. As soon as you bring these animals inside where they are safe, get the applications mailed off so you will have the vouchers by the time the kittens are old or big enough to be fixed.
7 Once the animal gets fixed, the pics and story have been emailed and the space is available at Petsmart, you will bring the animal for a one-time check-in and shots here at the house near 35th Ave. & Bell Road. After check-in you will drop off the animal with the paperwork at the adoption site. CNPS adopts cats from the PetsMart store at 31st Ave. & Peoria.
You have just saved a life! YOU have made a difference!!
8 As long as the cat or kittens adjust to their new environment they will stay at Petsmart until they are adopted.
If the situation turns unhealthy for an animal you will be called to pick him up. We can do the adoption online instead.
If this program works for you, email the info to Toni at badkittyts@aol.com

**If the previous options are impossible at least take the next best minimal action by fixing and releasing.
This allows the stray, freedom to take care of itself without the overwhelming burdens of reproducing.
If you do nothing the animal will still be where it is at, but unfixed and breeding. That’s a cruel cruel life.
Please don’t just walk off and ignore that animal. Nobody else but you is going to do anything about it.

Nobody but the kill shelters can help dumpers.
A dumper is someone who just wants to dump the animal problem on to someone else.

We can help find a new home for a pet or stray dog or puppies
The information 1-6 listed above for cats and kittens, also pertains to dogs and puppies.
7 CNPS will list the animal online and when a party is interested, set up to meet and possibly adopt the dog.
Before a dog/puppy can be listed he must be spayed or neutered, current on rabies, licensed and chipped.
Read page 3 to decide which program you want to use and how to use it.
YOU CANNOT GIVE UP.
THE LIFE OF THAT ANIMAL RELIES ON YOU!
Because dogs/puppies cannot sit in a cage until they are adopted you must get their information out to as many organizations as possible. Don’t rely on one organization to help find a home for a dog/puppies.
Every PetsMart and Petco has at least one organization adopting out animals. Call and get the phone numbers to these organizations to see how they can help. Remember to let them know that you are not a dumper, that you will “help them, help the animal”, that you will foster the animal and bring it to adoptions.
Also go to petfinder.com and do a search for dogs in your zip code. It will pull up dogs for adoption and the organizations helping those dogs. Call those organizations to see how they can help you.
You will get help if you are not a dumper.

**If you can pick out any distinct breeds in the dog your trying to help,
contact C.A.B.R.A. = Coalition of All Breeds Rescue 480-874-2511 or http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/AZ79.html,
scroll all the way down.
If you think he has any Shepherd, call Shepherd rescue and say you have a Shepherd (NOT a MIX) that needs help.
If you think he also has any Lab, then call Lab rescue and say you have a Lab (NOT a MIX).
Let THEM decide if he is a purebred. If you’re not sure of what the animal is, send me a picture.

Please Do Not Use Online Classifieds i.e.: Craigslist, to give away animals!
Use a reputable rescue organization to find a safe and permanent home, call 602-332-6615

***WARNING***
#1: If any organization says they will take your animal from you (for money or whatever) please realize that they are taking them from the other 50 to 75 other callers they get a day. Be sure you know who you are working with. Our worst rescues have been from other rescue groups. HELP THAT ANIMAL STAY HEALTHY AND ALIVE BY KEEPING IT IN IT’S OWN ENVIRONMENT,
NOT MIXED IN WITH 100’S OF OTHER STRAYS.
#2: The only shelters in town that will take animals are the kill shelters, The Humane Society and The Pound. They have room to take them in because they kill them. It’s NOT their fault, it’s the lazy worthless people who dump these poor animals not fixed in the first place! There are so many dropped off every day that they’re killed in an assembly-line procedure. You will pay $75 per animal you drop off there to get a “home”. In the end it gets a needle stabbed in the heart (hopefully) and thrown into a garbage can.
I’m not telling you that to make you sick I am trying to give you a reality check. I’m telling it like it is.

“The ‘animal rescue’ world is not a perfect world
But we leave it better than the way we found it”

YOUR LAST OPTION…Death is not the absolute worst thing these animals have to look forward to, we are all going to die…it’s HOW they die that’s important. If you have no choice but to have an animal euthanized because you can’t find him a new home or for whatever reason, go to a veterinarian and have it done the right way. Don’t let him die at the Humane Society or the Pound! Give that animal what it deserves, and that is, a non-threatening, quiet environment surrounded by love. Let that stray or unwanted pet be put to sleep peacefully, held by you or while being petted and not in total fear the last few minutes of his life. It’s very important to have the pre-anesthetic shot done first.

FACT:
Due to cars, sick and cruel people, poisonings, being trapped by neighbors, used for snake food,
diseased by sick cats, attacked by stray dogs, eaten by hungry coyotes and owls and more...
THE AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF AN OWNED
INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAT IS 18 MONTHS
THE AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF AN OWNED
INSIDE CAT IS 18 YEARS!

FYI: when you let your pet cat “out back” to sit with you and roll in the dirt they will contract body bugs and parasites,
then you bring them back inside and they shake on your bed, sofa or carpet.
YUK!! DON'T LET THE CAT OUT!

When you adopt your new companion, we want you to commit to your new pet "FOR LIFE".
But if for any reason you are unable to keep your pet, it MUST be returned to CNPS.

Don't Declaw! If you want a declawed cat, adopt one!
