Save The Cats Arizona: Grant Report

How did this grant help your organization and the pets in your care?

To start a formal behavioral program.

This grant is helping us help the cats in our care. There are some cats who need a little socialization to get them ready for their forever homes and there are some of our cats who are not accustomed to human touch. Both scenarios are very important to us. One will get the kitty into a home and the other will allow us to give medications and be able to groom the cats.

How many pets did this grant help?

It was a benefit to all 50 of our cats in general. Fourteen of the cats need human introduction and 10 need less-intense interaction.

Please provide a story of one or more specific pets this grant helped.

Terry, our sanctuary manager, has been working with three cats to get them more comfortable with interactions with people. She is working with the more mild kitties first and working on her skills to tackle the spicier ones later. She’s pictured here with our cats Poe (first photo) and Jetta (second and third photos).
