Garcia's Story...
Garcia can be seen at Purr-Suasions in Old Town Scottsdale almost any day if requested.. 480-694-9998
This beautiful boy would be a keeper if we didn't have so many rescues. He seems like a perfect companion. He loves to be held like a baby. he purrs whenever he gets attention. He plays well with the other cats and kittens.
He has just returned from an adoption where he did everything right, but the adopter's caregiver is seriously alergic. He laid in her lap and was generally loving, though, in only 10 days, he wasn't willing to walk up to visitors. She agrees, he's a perfect and beautiful young cat. (He never touched her leather couch.)
Garcia (just an arbitrary "G" name) is a sweet, active tabby with spots on sides, a white bib and four white feet (really just toes in front) . He is very pretty!
He has completed his distemper shots and been neutered. Their mother tested negative for FeLV/FIV (more accurate than testing kittens). His mother looks Russian Blue - go figure - and sisters were white with light eyes.
He was fostered in a home with dogs, but the dogs weren't allowed in the kitten room. He roams freely with all the other cats in my home and there haven't been any problems.
He might like a dog..
We have a 1.5-year-old female that has a bit more white, but otherwise looks the same and is, also, very sweet-natured and social. They might go well together. (See Vivian.)
He and other SOS Kitty cats and kittens can be seen by appointment 480-694-9998

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.

Come Meet Our Pets...
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.
We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties...
Maricopa County
