My story

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

Nova and her four brothers came to Paws Animal Shelter with their mom, Belinda, when they were 13 weeks old. They had been living in a shed in Springfield, and had not been handled as much as they should have been. As a result, they were shy and hissy at first, but our volunteers went to work on them, and we were amazed at the turn around. The three siblings who were really outgoing have all been adopted, and just Maverick and Nova are left. Nova is still close to her brother, and you frequently find them napping in the same area. She isn't shy as he is and will let you pet her, even if you forgot to bring treats! They're in one of our free-range adult cat rooms, the Catacabana, so stop by and meet her. If you have some patience and want to really make a difference in a cat's life, adopt Nova and her brother Maverick.Personality traits

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!
