Hearts That Purr Feline Guardians
Welcome !
Hearts That Purr Feline Guardians is a specialized 501(c)(3) rescue and retirement home for older cats who became homeless due to the terminal illness, incapacitation or death of their owners. Founded in 2013 in Tucson, Arizona, our unique priorities are designed to address the special needs of these elder cats. Through our sanctuary, foster and adoption programs we strive to ensure each cat who enters our door enjoys a happy home and loving care for the remainder of their lives.
Ways we help senior felines at Hearts That Purr
The Feline Guardian Lifetime Care Program
​
What would happen to your cat if something happened to you? Our program is designed for those who worry about predeceasing their beloved cat and do not have family or friends willing to step in. Get true peace of mind without upfront fees.
Senior Cat Rescue & Sanctuary
Hearts That Purr is not a cat shelter in the traditional sense. We operate a small, private sanctuary home on over 8 acres of peaceful desert in Pima County, Arizona. We are committed to providing the highest level of loving, lifetime and hospice care for our feline residents.

Senior Citizens and Senior Kittizens Foster Program
A "foster-for-life" program that matches older cats in need of homes with capable, loving elder persons in need of a feline friend. All vet care paid and we're here to support you and your new feline companion. Available in the Tucson area only.
Adoption Program
Though Hearts That Purr is first and foremost an elder cat care home, we sometimes have wonderful, older cats eligible for adoption. Adoptable cats are up-to-date with vet care and come with some vet care assistance for life. Please note that our adoption process requires an application with a home-check, a non-refundable adoption fee and a 30-day foster trial period.
Sponsor a Feline Resident
For just $20 a month, you can change the life of an elderly cat. Most of our senior residents have medical or special needs and may never be adopted. If you can’t adopt, foster or volunteer, you can still make a lasting difference in the life of a senior cat who lost everything, by sponsoring their care and helping make their final life chapter their very best.
Tribute and Memorial Donations
Honor special people, pets, or events, or remember those no longer with us with a Tribute or Memorial donation.
Legacy & Planned Gifts let you leave a lasting impact by supporting Hearts That Purr’s life-saving mission after your lifetime—and may even offer tax advantages before you're gone.
