Sun Cities 4 Paws Rescue - Youngtown, Arizona

Great place to adopt from! Love that they let the cats free roam and play throughout the building. Adoption was very easy, and the take home goodie bags are very nice and had a good amount of treats, food, and toys for these boys! They started bonding at the shelter the day we visited, and happy to report they are the best of friends, always playing, sleeping, wrestling, and grooming each other. Staff was very friendly and patient and answered the 20 or so questions we had for them. Highly recommend 4 paws rescue! Also be sure to check out their thrift store next door, we got a great deal on 2 cat carrier bags, and saw another couple get a nice big cat tower!

We are so excited to have Misty home! She adjusted so quickly and easily. Thank you to the very kind staff in both the adoption center, as well as the boutique! All very helpful, knowledgeable, and true kitty lovers ♡

We highly recommend Four Paws if you are looking for a cat or kitten. This was our first time visiting. You can socialize with any of the cats and find the one that fits your family best. The paperwork was simple and straightforward. We were able to get our kitten microchipped on the spot for a very reasonable price. We were looking for a playmate for our older cat who had never been alone before and wasn't doing well after the recent and close losses of his two litter mates. We absolutely love our new family member (Enzo, renamed Olaf). He fits in perfectly with our family and Little Black and him bonded on the first day home. The are incredibly sweet together!

I'd give it 5 stars since I got my sweet kitty from the rescue, but because of their thrift store they had to lose a point. Don't get me wrong, the store is fabulous with fair prices, regular sales, and often lovely seasonal displays when you first walk in. So why did I drop the shop a star? They need to reevaluate their donation policy since the days and times for what they will or won't accept is inconsistent and confusing.
The first time I went to donate, I was told it was too late. Too late? Too late to place a small grocery bag in the bin by the curtain to the back room? I had walked that bag for about 2 miles since I don't have a car. The woman harrumphed and allowed me to put it in after I explained I wasn't about to haul it back home.

Second time I checked the website and got a ride over for about 3 bags. Sign on door had different hours than on website, so I explained and a woman said, well they had changed the hours, so I explained I got a ride to bring the donations and didn't want to have to inconvenience my ride so wouldn't she please let me drop them off. "Yeah, but don't do it again!" I was warned.

The third time I did everything right, I checked the website, I called, the sign on the door told me there was still an hour to go before the cutoff time but as I walked my bag over to the bin, a woman in back spotted me and said they are not taking any more donations today--something about it's just too crowded back there, something about the fire department and needing paths, etc. Well, geez, temporarily put my bag elsewhere but don't get agitated at me for simply wanting to drop off my donation according to the instructions I was following.

Three strikes and they are out for my donations. Too bad since they are now the only animal welfare thrift store in the area since Sun Valley Animal Shelter had to close their store, and we know animals need all the help they can get. They need to work on their customer relations at the shop and be more appreciative of the efforts it takes for people to donate. Maybe being made aware of this will cause them to improve. All we all want to do is to help the poor kitties and your shop helps them to do that, but those who donate need to be given accurate information and be treated with respect and gratefulness.

Great shop, great cat rescue organization next door. The four paws comes up with a rescue site over near 99th, but that's where they take care of them before sending them out too the sites like PetSmart and this location. If you want to adopt a cat, you need to go to the little shop next door to the left of this boutique here.

If you are looking for a new furry friend you need to check them out. We adopted 2 brothers Beta and Monty from there last year and i could not see my life without them. And if you have anything extra for the cats you can donate to them as well.
