Kind to Nature

Helping at-risk and unadoptable cats, supporting TNR in our community, providing lifetime sanctuary for rescued unadoptable cats, and promoting compassion for all living things.

Kind to Nature (KTN) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 1998, located in Phoenix, Arizona, dedicated to helping and improving the quality of life of the birds and animals that share our urban neighborhoods, be they pets, strays, wild and/or injured birds or other wildlife, with special emphasis on increasing awareness and compassion for feral cats and reducing the pet overpopulation crisis in the Valley. We work closely with the general public and rescue community towards saving and helping at-risk animals by networking, consulting, providing information and referrals, transportation, and spay/neuter assistance. We utilize fosters for socializing feral kittens and fearful cats rescued from individuals and shelters.

KTN maintains an indoor sanctuary providing a permanent home for rescued unadoptable cats (and some dogs) taken in on a special case basis. These cats are generally not "pet quality" or have special needs, so they stay with us their entire lives, which means we have to continue to care for them all their lives through sickness and old age. Unlike traditional rescue organizations, we generally do not take in adoptable animals so we do not do adoptions (except occasionally by networking on the internet), so we have limited sources of funds. It also means, we have a growing number of aging cats needing appropriate medical/health care. Please see our Donations page for a list of the products we use and how to make a donation.

Our website contains a lot of helpful information to those who own pets, have lost or found a pet, have or want to rescue an animal, find kittens, or a baby bird, have a feral cat issue in their neighborhood or need other assistance. The Resource Page contains a comprehensive listing of numbers and websites for all types of help. The Lost and Found page contains tips if you have lost or found a pet. Other pages contain specific information on feral cats, wild birds, what to do if you find kittens, seasonal reminders, special alerts and upcoming events.
