My story

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

Zorro was found by a local veterinary technician walking in circles in the middle of a street in Springfield. At first she thought there was something seriously wrong with him, but then she realized that he was blind. She took him in to the veterinary clinic where she worked, and oddly enough they recognized the cat as he had been a patient when he was a kitten. He passed through a few owners, and clearly the last person just put him outside. The fine folks at the vet's office contacted Paws Animal Shelter, and we naturally took him in. One of our board members has a blind cat, and she said he gets around her house just fine. Clearly he needs to be shown changes if you rearrange the furniture, but otherwise he acts just like her other cats. Zorro is as sweet a cat as you could ask for, and he loves to play, so he's really just a typical young 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!
