Lily, who kept her name.

I have adopted four different cats from Kitty Kat Rescue over the past ten years. Each of these cats have been the most loving, sweet kitties I have ever known. Laurie, the woman who runs this place, is absolutely amazing. You can tell she cares a LOT about her cats, and wants to make sure that every single cat she adopts out goes to their forever home. The fact that other reviewers are giving negative reviews because THEY had to re-home a pet is disgusting. At what point does you being a poor home mean that the rescue is at fault? You failed your cat and have only you to blame. Pinning it on the rescue, who trusted you to take care of their cat, is cruel. There is no rescue in the world that can take every single cat out there. It just cannot be done. There are millions of stray, homeless cats. Blaming a rescue for not having unlimited funds and room for cats is silly. This is fantastic rescue, and they don't deserve negative reviews for something they cannot help.

Mattie is available as of 5/27/13!

Kitty Kat Rescue is one of the best no-kill animal rescues I've volunteered for. I've been volunteering at various animal shelters, both general and no-kill, since I was a teenager and they are not all equal! I came across this one by accident a few years ago when I was shopping at the Petsmart off Power. I'm one of those, gotta go look at the animals up for adoption people, even though I don't need anymore pets. The volunteer suggested that since I like to come in and look I should consider volunteering for them. I've now volunteered at KKR for over two years for at least one day a week. As a volunteer its great because since the rescue is no kill you know that if a cat is gone it means it got adopted. The hours are really flexible and duties are straightforward. She's always looking for volunteers so if you're in the area and over 18 yrs of age consider helping out =) Laurie is the founder and she is amazing. I've never seen a woman work as hard as she does. She spends every waking hour dedicated to her cause. She tries very hard to place cats in families where they are good matches for. I've seen her refuse to do an adoption many times because she doesn't think the cat is right for the family, and while this may upset some people in the end this is about the animal, not the people. We see too many cats brought back or dumped places because the family "didn't like it". Another thing I love about this rescue is she will NOT adopt out a sick cat. My boyfriend and I adopted our last cat several years ago from a county shelter and he came to us with an infection that spread to our other two cats. Laurie scrutinizes the cats and cleanliness of the facility every day. If she see's a kitty starting to look sick she takes it out immediately and puts him in her home or in foster and nurses it till it heals. I also like how she will always take a cat back if a family decides they don't want it. She really makes a commitment to her cats to find them a forever home and when something doesn't work out she tries again, and again! Prices are also very reasonable, she has each cat examined by a vet, all of their shots and vaccines are up to date, they are all spade/neutered, and if a cat ever needs an extensive surgery..she scrapes the money together. Cat prices range from 50-100 and sometimes more if she gets a special breed. Considering the length of time she keeps many of these cats (sometimes years), the surgeries and vet bills she pays for, and the high quality food she feeds them...this is cheap. If you are looking for a kitty consider adopting from KKR.

Thank you Kitty Kat rescue for all you do!

They are lovely people doing something most of us wouldn't have the courage, patience, nor determination to do on a daily basis. They rescue literally hundreds of cats and kittens. We sincerely thank them for all they do, and so do the two cats we rescued through them. Because of Kitty Kat rescue, they are healthy and happy kitties living in their forever home.

I adopted my baby Freddy (previously known as Batman) 3 years ago at an adoption event at petsmart. He is the sweetest and most loving cat I've ever owned. When I got him I didn't own a cat carrier but had everything else needed, Lori ended up giving me one of her very own cat carriers, free of charge, that I still use to this day. You can tell this woman really does love her kitties and wants what's best for them!

I was abandoned on the streets of Tempe, but now I have a great life thanks to Kitty Kat Rescue.

I adopted my cat from Laurie in 2011. My cat is a Scottish Fold who was called Mona. I renamed her Scotia after I got her home. This cat is the joy of my life and I have Laurie and Kitty Kat Rescue to thank for that. I had lost my 20 year old cat about a year before the adoption and was just looking to see if any rescues might have a Scottish Fold because I loved the breed. To my surprise there were 3 at the rescue. Very quickly two of the three disappeared off the website, so when the one left was still there after a week I finally called Laurie to inquire about adopting the Scottish Fold she had. However, I told her due to my job and night shift work I couldn't possibly be there until the following Tuesday (This was a Friday.) Dispite having been burned by holding cats for people that flaked in the past, Laurie decided I could be trusted, she held the cat for me and I arrived the following Tuesday. That was the first day of my love affair with one of the funniest, sweetest and by far the "coolest" pet I have ever had. Even people I know who don't like cats can't help but love my cat. I have to give Laurie at Kitty Kat Rescue and her crew all the props in the world. They lovingly care for and nurture their cats so that they are well adjusted, socialized and make great pets. She provided all of the cat's medical records to me, including an x-ray (which was negative) due to my cat's odd habit of holding up one of her paws like it is injured. That's a lot of money to put out and only get back a $175.00 adoption fee for this special breed that typically comands from $900.00 to $1800.00 if purchased from a Cattery. I wasn't sure if I was ready for another cat until contacting Kitty Kat Rescue. It was the best move I made that year and I highly recomend to anyone considering an adoption from a rescue, use this one. The pet you get will be healthy, well adjusted and ready to receive all the love you have to give. Thank You KKR!

I actually didn't directly come to AAA for an audition. My dog was "discovered" by Kama when I…read morebrought him in for an agility evaluation. He knew a few tricks, and had a good sit/stay, which he demonstrated quite well that day! Since then, he's been in a commercial, a print ad, and they've even asked me to do some modeling for an ad! My dog has had fun on these shoots, and comes back home eager to practice some more (What dog wouldn't love constant treats for doing tricks in a short amount of time?)! My younger dog has also been in a print ad, which was a great experience for her. Please please, know these things before auditioning your pet for an acting agency: 1. It's very important for your dog to be very good with other animals and people (Non-reactive), and as distraction proof as possible. Many acting and modeling gigs run on a tight schedule, and an obedient dog that won't get easily distracted is a must. It's also important for your dog to be trained to do tricks not just at home, but in different environments. If your dog isn't ready quite yet for any jobs though, Kama and Jubie are excellent at training, and any suggestions they have are only in the best interest for you and your dog so that you can both be better prepared for the industry. 2. Once your dog auditions and is part of the agency, it's just like being a human actor at an acting agency. Many jobs require a certain type/breed of dog, so if you are relying solely on the agency for jobs, you might be waiting for the right part to come your way. 3. A lot of jobs happen at the last minute, so having a flexible schedule is important. In all the jobs I've been to, Kama and/or Jubie have been there to make sure everything runs smoothly, and to give any helpful hints to make sure the talent hired performs reliably, admirably, while having fun at the same time. Overall, it's been an interesting experience being in the pet entertainment industry!

Registered with this business more than a year ago and got an email for an opportunity to…read more"audition". My impression was this is more like a bait and set up. They lure you in and if your animal doesn't perform to the owners level of acceptance you are then given you information for someone they work with who can give your dog obedience lessons and then they imply after which you will be put in their files for future consideration. The standards in which they test vary from one dog to the next. The person that sent the email extending to me the opportunity had made assumptions about my dogs temperament . They allowed an owner to run their dog in an agility area while asking for specific behaviors, but they did not give any information about the location, environment, activity, or anything of location. You're simply asked to come. All of these things made it look like they're drumming up business for someone else and in turn getting some kind of a return on any business sent that way.
