Gilbert, AZ
A privately supported, limited-intake no-kill rescue operating in Gilbert since 1993, combining rescue and adoptions with spay/neuter work and community education.
All cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested for leukemia (and FIV for adult cats), and microchipped.
Complete an online adoption consultation form, then visit during open hours (no appointment needed) to meet with an adoption counselor and matched cats.
Estimated by applying the AVMA's 2024 national cat-ownership rate (32.1% of households) to the county's real household count from the Census Bureau — a national rate applied locally, not a local survey. Population and housing figures are from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
Adult cats start at $175 and kittens under a year start at $225, with pedigree cats from $250. The fee covers spay/neuter, vaccinations, FeLV/FIV testing and a HomeAgain microchip.
Tuesday 10am-2pm, Wednesday and Thursday 3pm-7pm, Friday 10am-2pm and Saturday 10am-4pm. Closed Sunday and Monday.
Friends for Life is a private nonprofit rescue rather than a taxpayer-funded county shelter, so adoption fees carry more of the medical cost. In exchange each cat arrives already tested for FeLV and FIV, vaccinated, fixed and microchipped.
Intake and surrender requests go through azfriends.org/intake-requests/.
