My story

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

Hello there, I'm Rizzo! I'm a clever gal, always on the lookout for new things to explore. I've got a playful spirit, you see. Give me a fishing pole toy and I'll show you my exceptional skills in catching it, especially if it's one of those feathers that flutter like a real bird! I can leap, pounce, and swat with the best of them. But it's not all about play. I'm also quite the thinker. My curiosity keeps me engaged, always eager to learn and discover. So why adopt me? Well, I promise to keep your life interesting. I'll bring joy, fun, and a dash of mystery to your everyday routine. Adopt Rizzo, adopt a world of adventure.

More about this shelter

The Champaign County Humane Association, Inc. (CCHA) was founded in 1977, initially relying solely on fosters to care for stray animals. In 1991 they opened Paws Animal Shelter in Champaign County, a rural county with a total population of about 39,000. In 2018 the CCHA decided to transition Paws Animal Shelter to a cat-only facility, as there is a desperate need in our area for additional shelter spaces for cats and kittens.

Thanks to a generous donation we were able to expand our shelter in 2021, which has enabled us to rescue even more cats and kittens. While this is obviously a positive development, it has definitely increased our operating costs, as so many cats and kittens that we take in have not been spayed or neutered. In addition, many cats that are surrendered to us have not been in homes with the financial resources to properly care for them, so we frequently have to pay for dentals and other expensive procedures. We are passionate about saving as many cats and kittens as possible, and they have a home with us until we find a forever home for them!
