Citizens For North Phoenix Strays is a non-profit, 100% volunteer, no kill rescue organization that has been "Helping People Help Animals"tm since 1994. We provide help through low cost spay/neuter referral, humane trapping and altering of feral and stray cats through our SPAY-A-STRAY program, and by giving these animals a second chance through adoption. CNPS has no paid employees. All of the people who give their time and effort to help are 100% volunteer. CNPS aids mainly cats. These animals have been given up by their owners, or are abandoned, or are part of an unwanted litter because an irresponsible owner did not spay or neuter their pet.

CNPS is not a shelter. We have no shelter facilities and can not take in your animals. We are a network of people like you who have decided to help a homeless animal. All of the animals that are available for adoption are kept by their owners, or the kind person who found them, until they are adopted. In order for us to help you help an animal, we simply ask that you make a commitment and provide them with shelter, food, water and love until they are adopted. We can assure you that by working together, you will have made a huge difference in that animal's life - by saving them and giving them a second chance. If you work with us and utilize all of our resources, together we will find a good, permanent home for that animal you are choosing to help.
