Bitti wags his tail!'s Story...
Bitti is less than 2 years old and the first cat I ever saw that wagged his tail when excited, like a dog! He looks Maine coon, but his mother had short hair. He has long white ear tufts, but is completely black or sable otherwise. He is very sweet-natured but thinks it's OK to bully the smaller girls..
Bitti (for Itty Bitti) has an unusual history. He was born outside, but has been groomed and petted since he was 4-6 weeks old. He and his mother (and next litter sibbling) were fed by his sponsor. Their complex had dog owners that let their animals kill cats and boys that abused and killed cats. When the owner hired a pest control company to remove all loose cats, Bitti's sponsor, who for very serious health reasons could not take him in, begged for him to be saved.
Bitti has been neutered, tested negative for FeLV and FIV and had both his distemper vaccinations. He is superior using litter box! He has a shorter than normal tail, probably birth defect. He's really cute! (My daughter calls him "Muppet.")
He loves to be pet, scratched and groomed. He purrs and rolls over to have his tummy gently scratched. He has decided my bed is perfect! He is amazingly sweet for living outside nearly 8 months.
Will you let Bitti bring joy into your life forever?

About Our Rescue Group...
I'm a retired Agricultural Engineer. I operated the rescue house for Safe Haven for Animals for three years 24/7 (40-80 cats & kittens, all wet food and medicines). There were animals that Safe Haven was not able to rescue that I began taking, so finally have chosen to focus on those in my own home and assist in placement of older cats in Safe Haven for Animals' rescue house.
I still do some workshop facilitation and small consulting jobs. I do cat rescue because I love animals, have an incredible mentor (apprenticed to vet before starting to rescue cats) and because there is huge need, especially in our current economy here in Arizona.

By appointment. Working on adoption events.
Purr-Suasions in Old Town Scottsdale has offered us a place to show cats and kittens. They are open 7 days a week, usually 10 am to 5 pm.
Two foster homes in north Scottsdale have offered to show SOS Kitty cats and kittens for potential adoption by appointment.
Our Adoption Process...
Simple contract. Fee is donation, usually between $50 and $100 depending on animal. Special animals will have higher or lower adoption fees or arrangements.
We accept other donations, but are not a 501c3. Our veterinary costs at this time average $110/female and $92/male kitten. Food and litter avarage $1000/month+.
Cats we adopt from our home or the Safe Haven house have been tested for FeLV/FIV, inoculated against upper respiratory diseases and have been spayed or neutered.
We do not adopt out unaltered animals.
As of July 2012, we cannot take in any more cats until a significant number have been rehomed. We do not euthanize unless the health of the animal demands, so must make room with adoptions.
We adopt to indoor-only situations.
We seek homes where they don't declaw, but may be placing a declawed cat and, occasionally, might declaw to achieve a good home.
We work with a veterinarian to place rescued animals turned in to their clinic that are considered adoptable. We help in their recovery as needed first.
We work to find homes for passed over cats in the rescue house operated by Safe Haven for Animals, Inc.
Usually, the cats/kittens are in our home, private homes (SOS Kitty fosters) or in the Safe Haven rescue house. A few are on the local animal rescue network or in other private homes.
We may take the cat/kitten to the potential adopter's home for evaluation, We have foster locations where can show cats/kittens by appointment and we show cats at Purr-Suasions in Old Town Scottsdale and various pet stores on specific weekends.
We will take back any adult cat within 30 days if the placement does not appear to be satisfactory and refund the rehoming fee.
