Mission Statement

To advocate for the welfare of cats by being a model cage-free sanctuary and no-kill shelter.

About This Cause

Since 1965, The Hermitage No-Kill Cat Shelter and Sanctuary has been dedicated to the shelter, protection, and care of homeless cats. We believe every cat is adoptable and deserves a chance at a happy, healthy life. Our 9000-sq-ft, cage-free shelter houses 200+ cats at a time and we rescue an average of 700 cats annually. All of our cats roam freely in their designated sections of the shelter, including outdoor, enclosed ‘catios’. We are one of a very small number of accredited sanctuaries in the entire United States that shelters cats with FIV (Feline Immune-Deficiency Virus) and FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus). Our goal is to find the perfect adopter for every cat, but, following a no-kill philosophy, we provide cats with a safe home for as long as they need it. At The Hermitage, we ensure that every cat who enters our shelter is given the best in medical and physical care, including affection. Here, each cat is treated as an amazing, individual being. The Hermitage Cat Shelter is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, supported entirely by donations. As Arizona’s first no-kill, no-cage sanctuary and adoption facility, we are dedicated to the shelter, protection, and care of homeless cats, especially those not considered adoptable by other organizations. At the Hermitage, we adhere to the principle of no-kill in that no cat in our care will ever be euthanized to make room for another, nor will any cat in our care ever be destroyed except in cases of terminal and painful illness or when compassion demands it because there is no reasonable alternative.
