My story

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

Ozzy was found wandering as a stray in Urbana when he was only four weeks old, way too young to be on his own. He was brought to Paws so he could be cared for until a permanent home is found for him. He was very shy, and he went into foster care with Annie for a while, to try to bring him out of his shell. It definitely helped him to have her around, but she was adopted not long after they came back to the shelter. We had pretty much resigned ourselves to Ozzy being perpetually shy, but then very suddenly he did a complete turnaround, and is now as sweet and outgoing as the next guy! It's really remarkable. I've been around cats my whole life and have never seen such a dramatic transformation. I actually thought they had snuck another black cat in his room! He's ready to be adopted, so stop by and meet this sweet young cat! Put in an application to adopt him and hopefully one of his friends to keep him company. If you have a quiet home and are looking for a love bug, Ozzy is your 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!
