Hermitage No-Kill Cat Shelter has leased a 2,000-square-foot retail space at 4613 East Speedway in Tucson for its new Hermitage Thrift Store & More. The new store, located in the Sprouts shopping plaza, is scheduled to open February 8th.

Tucson has been the proud home of the Hermitage Cat Shelter for over 48-years as the first “no-kill” shelter in Arizona.  Hermitage is both an adoption facility and long-term sanctuary for felines who are “adoption-challenged” due to FIV and other types of chronic health issues. The shelter is located at 5278 East 21^st Street in Tucson.

All proceeds from the thrift store will go to benefit the 200 plus cats who call the Hermitage No-Kill Cat Shelter home.  In addition to clothes, electronics, books and other gently used items, The Hermitage is looking for donations of household items for the store including:

• Hangers
• Plastic Bags
• Shelving units
• Computers
• Garbage Bags
• Markers
• Counters
• Display cases
• Pens
• Calculators (with tape)
• Clothes racks

“We are also looking for volunteers to help set up the store, price items, sort clothes and help clean,” Lee Bucyk, Executive Director at Hermitage told us. Opening a store is a big job, but with the enthusiasm and support of the community for the project, the Thrift Store will become a success and help to care for Hermitage’s numerous dependents.

If you could consider volunteering or could donate any of these items, please come by the shelter at 5278 East 21st Street, or make arrangements for pick up by calling the shelter at (520) 571-7839.

Mark Biery, CCIM, with Prudential Foothills Commercial Real Estate handled the lease transaction for tenant and landlord, Roso, LLC of Sherman Oaks, CA. And as the part the deal, Biery negotiated a beautiful little gray kitten by the name of Colette for himself to take home.

The Hermitage is a 501 (c ) (3) corporation and all items are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.  For more information visit them at www.hermitagecatshelter.org or please email their volunteer coordinator carolin@hermitagecatshelter.org or store manager dustin@hermitagecatshelter.org to adopt, get involved and help this wonderful organization.
