My story

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

Kipper was found in a tote with ten other kittens who were abandoned at Paws Animal Shelter. We dont know how long the poor things were in the tote (it wasnt left by our front door). Theyve all been combo tested and are healthy. Theyre very playful, but they didnt have a proper start in life as they obviously werent handled a lot. As a result, they were a little more scared than our typical kitten, but we worked with them so they were as friendly as the others in no time! Kipper was the most shy in the big kitten room, but in just a couple short weeks she made SO much progress. We play every week, and I pick her up each time and she immediately starts purring and loving on me. She lays on my lap on her own for some time, before she just has to get up and start playing again! They all just love to play, especially with the fishing pole toys. They cant seem to get enough of that, and will just run and play until they wear themselves out! The other ten tote kittens have been adopted, and poor little Kipper is the only one left. She's so sweet and loving now we really don't understand why she hasn't been adopted yet. If youd love to spoil a loving, young kitty, please consider adopting Kipper (and maybe a friend from her room to keep her company!). If you request more information via Petfinder, please include your phone number for a more timely response.

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!
