Cat's Paw Rescue and Sanctuary

Cat rescue in Maryville, TN

Cat's Paw Rescue and Sanctuary has been operating for many years, however, we just recently incorporated in October 2015. We rescue mostly cats that are facing imminent death in high-kill shelters. These animals can be shelter cats on death row or abandoned or neglected kitties. We work through fosters and transporters and are always looking for help in that area. Rescued cats are taken to our sanctuary to recover and receive any needed medical attention (including spay/neuter and vaccines) before finding them loving forever homes. Some kitties find a permanent home at the Sanctuary. If you are interested in helping, please send us a message or call.
