My story

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

Gail and her sister Louise were literally thrown out of a moving car at Springfield Hospital. A kind person saw this and took them to Urbana Veterinary Hospital, where they made their way to Paws Animal Shelter! In spite of the horrific treatment they received, they're both incredibly sweet and loving, and would be a great family addition. Gail is very much the explorer, and she loves to sit on the window and watch the birds on the feeder. She was adopted in September 2022 by an elderly woman, who died less than a year later. Gail was sadly returned to the shelter. She is adjusting to being back in the shelter, but she would love to have a young family who can give her a forever home.

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!
