Our Story

Hermitage No-Kill Cat Shelter & Sanctuary

The Hermitage No-Kill Cat Shelter & Sanctuary has been a refuge for at-risk cats and kittens since 1965. We are dedicated to the shelter, protection and care of all cats in need and believe every cat is adoptable and deserves a chance at a happy, healthy life. We were the first no-kill animal shelter in Arizona and in 2013, through the American Sanctuary Association, our cage-free shelter became an accredited sanctuary. We remain the only accredited cat sanctuary in Arizona and one of a few shelters in the entire U.S. serving as a sanctuary for cats with FIV (Feline Immune Deficiency Virus), and FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus).
