Animal Defense League of Arizona

Our mission is to protect and defend Arizona's animals. Help us improve the lives of outdoor cats, prevent euthanasia, and provide referrals for free and low-cost pet spay/neuter by supporting our Spay Neuter Hotline program.

We believe many problems that confront companion animals are a result of pet overpopulation. Our largest program - the Spay Neuter Hotline - provides Trap, Neuter Return (TNR) services for outdoor cats in Maricopa County and statewide referrals for free and low-cost pet spay/neuter. The Spay Neuter Hotline Program has sterilized more than 170,000 cats since 2009. For more information visit: https://adlaz.org/spay-neuter-hotline. Over 95% of each dollar donated to ADLA goes directly to program services.

Testimonials

"ADLA is amazing. They helped me get a new stray little colony fixed. I knew nothing about how to do this and they guided me through it. The entire experience was rewarding. I feel so glad for the cats and kittens knowing their lives will be better. Now I am responding to others trying to get them involved with ADLA so they can get their strays/ferals fixed. Thanks, ADLA! I wish you had more funding as the need is so great. I tell people almost every day about ADLA." - Laurie, Scottsdale

"May all our traps be filled all year. So proud to be a volunteer." -Rhea, Buckeye

"Thank you for all you do each and every day to protect the lives of precious animals! I look forward to rescuing cats and TNRing when I return to AZ for the winter with a "catio" in my backyard! (It just might kill my husband!)" - Terry, Phoenix

"When I first discovered Animal Defense League I had been looking for a while to get the innumerable cats that get dumped in my neighborhood spayed & neutered. Your volunteers were exceptionally helpful and I have gotten 23 fixed so far." - Nicole, Phoenix
