Alley belonged to an elderly man who passed away. The apartment owner threw Alley and her four young kittens outside to fend for themselves. Alley was practically a kitten herself and was not equipped to take care of her little family herself. A TNR group heard about her plight, and they rescued her. She was living in a stairwell at the apartment complex, and she was really emaciated. She eventually made her way to Paws Animal Shelter, where she and her babies were cared for. Her kittens are all weaned now, and Alley has been spayed (yea, no more babies!). She was a wonderful mom, but she's ready for a home of her own now and some well-deserved TLC!

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!
