Heavenly Paws Animal Shelter, Inc.

Cat rescue in York County, PA

The mission of Heavenly Paws Animal Shelter is to provide housing, care, and treatment for sick, injured, abused, homeless, and handicapped domestic animals. The shelter will remain a no kill facility. As long as space is available, no domestic animal shall be turned away. The shelter works with local veterinarians to treat the animals and obtain all necessary vaccinations. Spay and neutering services are required to help decrease the spread of deadly diseases and help control the unwanted animal population. The shelter is also working with local municipalities to control the escalating stray cat population in York County. We strive to strengthen the human-animal relationship through education and a referral service. We speak at numerous organizations and clubs throughout the county to spread awareness

Additional adoption info

The adoption fee is $120 for kittens.
Adults vary from $40-$100.

The adoption fee covers them being tested for leukemia and aids, their initial vaccines(distemper), a vet check-up, treatment for fleas, worms, parasites, ear mites, and their nails trimmed. If the cat/kitten is old enough they may have more done for them, such as, rabies vaccine and second distemper vaccine.

Also if they are old enough, they will be spayed or neutered prior to adoption. If they are not spayed or neutered prior to adoption, you will be given a spay/neuter certificate for one of our local vets. If you choose to use your own vet, we will take $20 off the adoption fee.

Our fees are very reasonable, considering you get about $300-500 worth of pet care when you adopt from us. Since we are non-profit, any donations and adoption fees are a tax-write off for you.
