My story

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

Ginnie was abandoned at the Mad River Farm Market in Champaign County when she was about four months old, way too young to be on her own. She was brought in to Paws Animal Shelter where she could be cared for and find her forever home. She is very frightened, and likes to hide. We will work with her, as she has the makings of a sweet kitty. She hisses, but once you start petting her she clearly enjoys it. She also never tries to bite or scratch people, so she just needs time to feel safe and secure, and she'll be as friendly as the next cat!

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!
