My story

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

Dandee was found as a stray in an alley in Springfield. She had her four two and a half week old kittens with her, so needless to say she was struggling to keep them all alive. A resident in the area brought momma and babies to Paws Animal Shelter so they could be cared for. They went into foster care right away, so the kittens could be properly socialized and so Dandee would have the support she needed. Her foster mom described Dandee as follows: 'Dandee is a lover who LOVES attention - she likes to be right by you and always has a lot to say! She was a great mommy to her little ones, but she is just like a baby herself!' Her kittens are all weaned now, and Dandee has been spayed, so she is now ready for spa treatment in a home of her own. She's a petite young cat who would fit in with virtually any family.

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!
