Prickly Pear Cat Rescue and TNR

Prickly Pear Cat Rescue and TNR We are a small nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Phoenix area East Valley cats. We began Prickly Pear Cat Rescue and TNR in the fall of 2021.

We have always been passionate about animal welfare and after a few years of working with our city to Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) community cats, along with working with other rescues for resources for adoptable kittens from local colonies, we decided to direct our efforts into creating and running a nonprofit organization so that we can continue this important work. This change in direction was du

e to the city deciding to end its funding of the TNR program and our need to continue fundraising to help these cats in a humane manner. We are a small no-kill organization with the goals of ensuring that local community cats are cared for with adequate food, safe shelter, spay and neuter, community education, and placing adoptable cats in homes.

🎉🎂 Happy 1st Birthday to Lego’s kittens — Gigi, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy! 🐾💫

It feels like just yesterday these tiny babies came into our care, full of curiosity and s***k. Today, they’re thriving in their forever homes, living their best lives — and we couldn’t be happier. Watching them grow has been such a joy, and we’re so grateful to have been a part of their journey. 🥰

Thank you to everyone who supported their rescue, foster care, and adoption. Whether you donated, shared their story, or cheered them on — you made their happy ending possible. 💖

To help us continue this work and give more kittens like Gigi, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy the chance to grow up healthy and loved, please consider making a donation. Every dollar helps us provide food, vet care, and safe homes for the cats and kittens who need us most.

We love updates on our former fosters!!

This is formerly Marshmallow, now Pigeon, with his dog brother Goose. They are clearly best buddies now.

If you have adopted a cat from us we would love updates from you too!

If you would like a very sweet, pretty calm, and silly cat, we still have Violet available for adoption. She gets along with most of her foster siblings. She would do well in a home with other cats who are relatively mellow. Violet enjoys being a bathroom attendant while her foster parents get ready for bed by jumping up on the counter and making sure they’re brushing their teeth adequately. She also enjoys following her foster dad around while he’s dishing out wet food. To apply to meet and adopt Violet please fill out our application here. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSck0Eiskm0qxEnm8qmMxlYRRoT2QgBl1qY-fbkpghq3ojtgxQ/viewform

Don’t forget, we still have the tuxedo sisters available for adoption! 🤵‍♀️

These three will do best adopted together, possibly to a home with other cats. They love other cats, and each other.

They may look similar, but their personalities are different.

Chloe (front right) is outgoing, and loves people and other cats. She is sweet and gentle, and has a cute squeaky meow.

Sasha (left) is a little sassy. She likes attention on her terms. That means she is a fan of butt scratches, and is really affectionate in bed just before it’s time to go to sleep. She gets in bed with her foster parents and meows for attention while making biscuits.

Felicia (back right) is the most shy. She is usually surrounding herself with the other cats. She appreciates a slow approach to pet her face and rub her cheeks.

Welcome to Prickly Pear, Violet!

Violet is about a year and a half old, and comes to us because her human passed away and the family is not able to keep her (they would if they could). We are glad to be able to help Violet and her family during this difficult time.

We will get her settled, make sure she’s healthy and UTD on vaccines, and then she will be available for adoption to start her next adventure.

Don’t forget! We still have all four of the job site kittens available for adoption. They are all spayed, UTD on vaccines for the next year, and microchipped.

These girls will do best adopted in pairs and we are willing to discount our adoption fee for pairs, so you can adopt two of these wonderful girls for $200.

We've just taken in some more kittens!

These little prickly babies were living at a construction site and the boss wanted them out. Thankfully, an employee reached out to us and we were able to get some of the kittens from them. We're still trying to get the other two, so fingers crossed they are caught soon!

For now, these precious little ones are in our isolation room getting acclimated to life indoors.
