My story

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

Terry, Ritter, and Pickle were abandoned in a house after their people were evicted because the bank foreclosed on the property. They had obviously been there for several weeks when the company the bank hired to clean out the place showed up. They were surprised to find three kittens in the house. The kittens all escaped, and it took a few days for them to be lured back in the house. Ritter was caught first, and Terry was caught last as he is the most skittish. Terry in particular will need love and patience to overcome this horrible trauma of being abandoned in an empty house for several weeks. They're in a free-roam kitten room at the shelter, and that has really helped them. They just love to play together. It's so heartwarming to see them wrestling and chasing each other. When strangers enter the room, Terry will run into the cage where he feels more secure (we keep the door open so they can come and go). If you have love and patience to spare, please give Terry the shot he deserves for a happy life in a safe, stable home. If you submit an inquiry via Petfinder for more information, please include your telephone 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!
