My story

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

Oscar arrived at Paws Animal Shelter with his three siblings. They were orphaned when they were just tiny. Their momma had them in a garage, and then she disappeared and never returned, so she presumably died. A nice family took them in and bottle fed them until their own cat realized he didn't want them around. They then found their way to Paws and went straight into a foster home to be socialized as they were very shy. When they returned to the shelter they were still on the shy side, but our stellar team of volunteers continued to work with them, and today you couldn't ask for friendlier cats! Oscar just adores playing with his brother, Ralph, and he's friendly with people too. He's ready to be adopted, so stop by and meet this sweet young cat! Put in an application to adopt him and hopefully his brother to keep him company.

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!
