About Desert Paws Rescue

Location:

P.O Box 1243, Queen Creek, AZ 85142, US

Mission Statement

The mission of Desert Paws Rescue is to provide a new beginning for cats who are at risk of being surrendered to a high-kill shelter, and cats at shelters who might otherwise be euthanized. We provide safe and loving foster environments with the goal of placing our animals in new forever homes.

Description

Rescue

Desert Paws Rescue is a 501 c3 non-profit, no kill, animal rescue run entirely by volunteers with all of our cats placed in foster homes before becoming adoptable.
Cats are often placed on a shelter’s Euthanasia list because of acute illness or behavior. We rescue these types of animals so that we can provide them with necessary medical attention and a second chance at long and healthy lives.

Desert Paws also takes pride in pulling Ringworm+, FIV+, and FeLV+ cats that might otherwise be euthanized due to their condition.

Education

Arizona has one of the highest homeless pet populations in the country! We strive to inform and educate our community about the importance of spay and neuter and the value of commitment to a healthy-pet-lifestyle. These values must be prioritized in order for our community to reduce our homeless pet population and reduce unnecessary euthanasia of otherwise adoptable pets.
