El Jefe Cat Lounge is three stories tall and full of adoptable cats and kittens! You can pay $14…read moreper hour for lounge time, which gives you plenty of opportunities to play, pet, and be chosen by a cat (because let's be honest... they choose us ). What I thought was really neat is that El Jefe was Tucson's first cat lounge and is named after the famous jaguar "El Jefe" that once roamed Southern Arizona. The lounge partners with local rescues, so every cat you meet is looking for a forever home. If you happen to fall in love with one (or five), you can even begin the adoption process! They've also have a café and gift shop inside for shopping and soaking up on the cat-themed atmosphere. They have everything from cat toys and journals to dish towels, keychains, cat ears, beanies, candles, and other fun cat-themed goodies. Each floor has its own little personality with climbing structures, cozy napping spots, and toys for the kitties to explore. Some cats wanted attention immediately, some were happily snoozing, and others gave me the classic "you may admire me from a respectful distance" look. Beyond regular lounge visits, they also host fun events like cat yoga, bingo, movie nights, crafts, and other themed activities. Whether you're looking to adopt, need a little serotonin boost, or simply want to spend an hour surrounded by adorable kitties, this is such a unique Tucson experience. Fair warning though... if you're a cat lover, don't be surprised if you leave with about 200 photos on your phone, a coffee in your hand, and a strong urge to adopt another furry friend.

When they arrived, both the cats were absolutely disgustingly filthy. We had an adoption event the next day and there is no way anyone would have adopted these cats. One of them was mangy, had matted dreadlocks and smelly. The other was dusty with a ton of dead hair underneath his coat. We called every single animal groomer in Tucson and they were all booked out for 2 weeks at least. We called Pawz and Clawz after quickly searching Craigslist as a last resort. We called on a Friday afternoon around 2pm and Caroline, after hearing our story rearranged her schedule for the next day and told us she would be at our house at 8.00 AM the next day. 8.00 AM the next day rolls around and so does the Pawz and Clawz van, right at our doorstep! Caroline and Russell are amazingly good with cats. Because the cats were just delivered to us, they were so scared and had been hiding under the bed since last night. Russell came in and helped us get them out and proceeded to do their magic. Highly highly recommended!!

I have to say that I'm puzzled by the review that described PAWSitively CATS as "depressing" with a…read morelack of space for cats and visitors. As someone who has volunteered there for over 15 years, I can attest that there are 3 separate large areas for different populations of cats (adoptable/sanctuary cats, Feline Leukemia cats, Special Needs/less than social cats) and each area typically houses between 20 and 30 felines. There are multiple rooms with screened in porches for the cats to enjoy, benches for visitors to sit on, and the only time I've seen the cats "swarm" is at the end of the day when cleaning is finished and they're expecting their treats. The post in question also claims that there is an online schedule of hours indicating that the shelter is only open to the public one day a week for 2 hours. I haven't been able to find that; instead hours are listed on Facebook as shown in the image I'm including. PAWSitively CATS is run by just a few staff members (some part time) and a few dozen dedicated volunteers. The cats are well cared for and happy.

Leaving a review of my experience based on the low ratings…read more If you know you are a responsible pet owner and will will provide a loving, safe forever home for a kitten/cat then definitely don't read the negative reviews. I looked online prior to coming in. It is recommended that you fill out an adoption application prior to coming in so you'll be pre-approved which makes getting the cat of your choice more likely. It isn't required though, you can pop in anytime they are open to see and meet the cats available for adoption. I'm glad Holly has pissed some people off! When I was there there were a couple of groups of people that came in with kids/teens who didn't respect the cat's boundaries. I saw a boy trying to play with a cat by batting at it when the cat had already popped him and it's ears were lying flat back on it's head. There was zero awareness from the boy (mid teens) that this cat did not want to play with him, he was just terrorizing it. The cats roam freely through the facility, some like attention others want you to leave them the fuck alone. Take a hint when it's given and you'll be fine. From my experience and based on the questionnaire for adoption Hermitage is just trying to get these cats into reliable, loving, stable homes. When I dropped in yesterday I had no expectations that I'd actually be able to bring a kitty home. Whatever hoops they require a person to jump though is in the best interest of the kitties. You are not entitled to whatever cat you want whenever you want it just because it's in a shelter! I am so grateful Holly let me adopt my sweet boy yesterday but I would've completely understood if I had to wait and potentially miss out on getting him. I showed up at 4 pm just planning to look but prepared in case I found "the one". When I knew I found the one I went back out to the lobby and filled out the adoption application on my phone. Once submitted I asked how long the approval process takes. Holly said it varies and recent background checks through my employment might have sped that up. I asked if I'd be able to take him home that day or would it be Tuesday when they reopen, if approved. Holly told me it depended on whether the people there before me were adopting and how many. This was because the cats have to get a checkup before leaving and there's paperwork to be filled out. The shelter closes at 5 pm on Saturdays. Completely reasonable!! So I just hung out and played with cats until I knew for sure. Luckily there was only one adoption in front of me so Holly had time to work me in. This place is wonderful and I am so so glad I wasn't dissuaded by the mediocre yelp score. There are some very petty people and they really mess up the reliability of yelp. This is definitely a place worth supporting!! Kitten tax: see pic
