Hermitage Hero
You don't need a cape to be a hero!
Become a Hermitage Hero today and provide lifesaving support to cats in need—every single month. As a monthly donor, you join an extraordinary community of compassionate individuals who ensure our cats receive world-class care, no matter what challenges they face.
What Is a Hermitage Hero?
A Hermitage Hero is someone who commits to making a recurring monthly donation to support our mission. These reliable gifts form the foundation of our work, allowing us to rescue cats from crisis situations, provide ongoing care for special needs felines, and maintain our sanctuary as a place of safety and healing. Your monthly commitment means we can say "yes" when a cat needs us most, whether it's an emergency medical situation, an overlooked senior cat, or a litter of vulnerable kittens.
Monthly donors are the heartbeat of our organization. You're not just giving money; you're becoming part of our cat-loving family and directly enabling the work we do every single day. Your support helps us plan, invest in preventative care, and expand our reach in the community.
The Power of Your Monthly Gift
Your recurring donation creates lasting impact across every aspect of our work:
- Consistent Medical Excellence: Enables health screenings for all 300+ cats, ensuring early detection of health issues and better long-term outcomes
- Emergency Response Cases: Provides resources to accept urgent cases and perform life-saving procedures when cats arrive in critical condition
- Special Needs Sanctuary: Supports our unique role as one of only 22 shelters nationwide accepting FeLV+ cats, giving these wonderful animals a chance at life
- Foster Program Support: Supplies food, litter, and medical care for cats and kittens currently thriving in foster homes
- Facility Maintenance: Keeps our cage-free environment clean, safe, and enriching with outdoor catios, climbing structures, and cozy cubbies
Real Stories, Real Impact
Your monthly gift makes stories like these possible:
The FeLV Family: We're one of the few shelters that welcomes cats with Feline Leukemia. These sweet souls deserve love and care, not euthanasia. Your monthly support ensures they live out their days in comfort, with specialized veterinary attention and enrichment tailored to their needs.
Kitten Season Success: Every spring and summer, we're inundated with orphaned kittens requiring round-the-clock bottle feeding, specialized formula, and intensive care. Hermitage Heroes make it possible to say yes to these tiny lives, giving them the chance to grow strong and find loving families.

We understand you want to know your generosity is being used wisely. That's why we're committed to complete financial transparency:
- We're accredited by the American Sanctuary Association, meeting rigorous standards for animal care and organizational ethics
- We maintain a GuideStar Transparency Seal, demonstrating our commitment to accountability
- We've served Southern Arizona's cats since 1965, building six decades of trust with our community
