SOS Cat Rescue AZ, Inc. is a foster-based, volunteer-run 501(c)(3), no kill, non-profit animal rescue group based out of Tucson, AZ dedicated to saving orphan kittens and senior cats from shelters across Arizona and giving them a second chance for a “happily ever after” life by matching adoptable kitties to the right homes. All cats are solely placed in foster homes where they will be taken care of according to their individual needs such as bottle feeding for orphans, socialization for kittens while growing up, medical attention to the sick, and hospice care for seniors. Since all our cats live in foster homes, we get to know them, their behavior, and their needs very well so we can help you find the cat that is a match for you. SOS stands for Saving Orphans and Seniors and is founded by experienced Tucson based rescuers who focus on special-need-cats and their well-being. Our team consists of excellent foster families, specialized bottle-feeders with years of experience, as well as strong individuals with a loving heart for senior cats, their special needs, and the knowledge that most of our seniors are with us because of their deteriorating health. This means we give senior cats a loving hospice forever home where they can pass over in a home situation, loved and cared for. Our goals are to rescue orphaned kittens and senior cats in need, provide them with the care they need, and find them wonderful homes and a place to live out their remaining days. We are also working hard at screening the potential families and asking the right questions to ensure every single one of our rescued kitties finds their happily ever after home. Throughout the year, we are raising funds to pay for all medical care we provide to our foster cats. We will let you know about our fundraising event right here and hope you are willing to support our cause.
Since we don’t have a shelter facility, our process works a bit differently than other rescues. Once you have chosen a cat or kitten you would like to meet, you fill out and submit an adoption application. As soon as we have reviewed it, we will contact you. At that point, we schedule a time for you to meet the cat you are interested in, and then we will do a home visit. If the visit goes well, the adoption gets finalized and you have a new furry family member. It’s that simple.
