Our History
Founded in 1980, Saint Francis Feline Sanctuary is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that is supported entirely by donations. We are a long-term shelter for felines that are considered “special needs” or “unadoptable” by other organizations. This includes felines who are FELV and FIV positive and those that are not social. Approximately 150 cats call Saint Francis home.
Helping Cats is Our Mission
Our kitties roam free on a beautiful five acre fully enclosed hilltop property in New River, Arizona. They can choose to spend their time in the main house or outside on the five acres at any time. There is a separate ½ acre enclosure for FELV positive kitties who have their own “little house” that has all of the comforts and amenities of the main house.
