My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Just a short time ago, this sweet boy was desperate. He was living the stray life & had sustained a wound (likely from fighting) & the wound accessed & then burst. Thankfully, he was found & given the attention he needed & is now recovering in a foster home. He appears to be a sweet boy & will be neutered soon. We're sure he'd love to leave the stray life behind & become someone's companion where he can live safely indoors being spoiled. Located in the Buffalo, NY area, please let us know if Scruffy might be the perfect panther for you.

More about this rescue

Paws4Life, Inc. was established primarily to help care for homeless, abandoned, stray, & feral cats.

Without TNR, stray & feral cats will continue to reproduce & continue adding to the overpopulation & high kill rate. Too often & too quickly animals that once had a home are abandoned for numerous reasons & left to fend for themselves, opening their lives up to many new & unfamiliar challenges with the previous owners "hope" that they can make it on their own.

Paws4Life, Inc. would like to encourage & be able to assist others with TNR missions & possibly start a program in the community that would assist other feral colony caregivers with the basics of caring for their homeless colonies.

Often times there are pleas either through e-mail or Facebook posts for financial help with urgent animal abuse/neglect cases or for assistance with transport of an animal being adopted. Paws4Life would like to contribute towards such situations when possible.

By example & through outreach, Paws4Life, Inc. hopes to educate more people in the local community about the responsibility of animal ownership & the importance of spaying/neutering. So often people just "didn't know" & if they can be taught & are willing to learn, not only does it benefit them but the community as well & ultimately, the animals. I 'didn't know' about the high-kill rate in our county's shelter until I asked. Maybe if more people knew the facts, more people would be motivated to work towards change.

ALL animals deserve the chance to live out their lives & we believe it is our responsibility, as the more intelligent species, to have regard for those lives. It is our hope, my wish, that more compassion & regard would be given to the lives of those who depend on us!
