Communities across the nation are taking notice that the animals in their communities, whether owned or stray, and the organizations that support them are important to the evaluation people make when considering where they want to live, shop, play, and raise their families.

People want their animals to be part of the community. There is a paradigm shift taking place in thinking about animal rescue and Fearless Kitty Rescue and the Town of Fountain Hills are leaders in this shift.

Fearless Kitty Rescue is excited to move from the back street to the main street of Fountain Hills. This move symbolizes the progressive thinking and commitment of the town to valuing the lives of animals and recognizing that how we treat our animals and those who care for them is a measure of integrity.

Fearless Kitty Rescue is a destination, bringing people into Fountain Hills for adoptions, education, information and entertainment. And then they stay to eat, shop, watch the fountain and experience the unique nature of our community.

Being in the downtown business district will enable us to show people how we rock the status quo and preconceived notions of what a rescue shelter looks like and how it functions. Bright murals, glass windows, fresh air and natural sunlight make everyone’s lives more enjoyable. Our animals, volunteers and community are enriched by this operational approach.

And, studies have shown that rescues located in a prime location double the number of animals adopted: more love to share and lives to save!

We thank Mayor Kavanagh, Town Council, the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Chamber of Commerce and the community for their support. We are excited to be in a community that includes a new face: one with pointed ears, whiskers, a bit of a tail, and a red cape!
