⛈️🌵 Arizona monsoon season is here, and storms can send even the calmest pets into panic mode.

A few simple precautions can help keep your furry family members safe:
🐾 Make sure ID tags and microchip information are up to date.
🐾 Check gates, fences, and doors before storms roll in.
🐾 Keep pets indoors during severe weather.
🐾 Always use a secure leash and properly fitted collar or harness when outside.
🐾 Create a safe, comfortable space where they can ride out the storm.

Every monsoon season, pets go missing after becoming frightened by thunder, lightning, dust storms, and high winds. A little preparation today could prevent a heartbreaking search tomorrow. ❤️

Say hello to Nadia! This pretty little girl and her kittens were rescued from an unsafe location. The kittens found a rescue but Nadia was deemed unadoptable and could not find placement. Since we had a little extra room in the cattery, I agreed to take her and she arrived here yesterday afternoon. Besides her finder, a few others have been involved with helping Nadia and they believe she might have pet potential. So far, she's been calm, though wary of me, ate all her food and using her box. After she's had an opportunity to acclimate to everything, I'll be assessing her and if it is determined she is adoptable at some point, I'll network her for a home. Otherwise, if she is happy in the cattery (as the others seem to be), she can make this her home.

Remembering Ginger II on her Birthday.
It is with much sadness that we remember pretty Ginger on this June 18, 2026, who would have been 12 years old today. We lost our beloved Ginger unexpectedly on April 17, after she declined rapidly from an undiagnosed kidney condition. When she came to the KTN Sanctuary back in January 2024 with her housemate Omar, 2 indoor semi-feral cats whose owner passed away, it was assumed they’d be with us for many years. She was diagnosed with pancreatitis back in the fall of 2024, which she seemed to be managing fine taking her little pills in a special feeding most evenings. She was not easy to care for – not liking to be touched, much less handled, but she had a good appetite most of the time, making it easier to treat her as needed. I was just starting to make progress with her when I noticed she had lost weight. Her loss was a shock though since she showed no other symptoms of something being wrong. I miss seeing her in her usual spots and talking to her (even when she hissed at me), and am extremely sad that our time together was so short. RIP beautiful girl.

Update on our new additions to the Sanctuary/Feral Cattery, BODEN in back) and BRONLEY (in forefront), who arrived last Thursday, June 4, afternoon. They are doing really well and will be released from the acclimation cage into the cattery with the other cats tomorrow. Although I don't consider either of these kitties feral, the cattery was the best place for them at this time -- very few other cats, most very calm, to adapt to and the only acclimation cage available. Bronley, the male, is not afraid of me at all, allows me to change the dishes in front of him, sniffs my finger, and even a few back pets. Boden, or Bodie as I've begun calling her, is very timid, watches me guardedly and moves away or jumps to lower level if I get too close. They love food and eagerly munch down at meal time. They're using the scratch post and litter box. They're both just really good cats and adorable. They had to be rescued primarily because Boden was too fearful to get adopted and she had bonded with Bronley. I believe they have potential to be good, loving pets if someone were willing to give Bodie time to come around. I'll see how they behave after coming out of the cage. Hopefully they wont hide and avoid me all the time like some, but at least they are safe, have an outdoor enclosure to enjoy, or a cooled indoor area if they prefer, toys, plenty of beds and food. They're as cute as can be and I love them. Will get better photos later.

June is Adopt A Cat Month! If adopting a kitten, please consider adopting two so they can have a friend for company!

It seems Amazon mistakenly added a few personal items onto the Kind to Nature Wish List, so in case anyone saw that and wondered, "what the heck?" here is the correct Wish List.

And by the way, we cannot seem to keep enough of our staple dry foods (Purina One Sensitive Skin & Stomach and the Hairball formulas) or Tidy Cat litter in stock. Our little newbies, Boden and Bronley, recently rescued from the Pinal County shelter, have big appetites, adding to the need for more food in the cattery. 🥰 So your donations would be greatly appreciated!
