My story

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

Berry was found with his brother Larry at a business in Urbana, Ohio. The workers brought them in as they were so tiny (11 and 12 ounces each). They were brought to Paws Animal Shelter, where they went into foster care right away as they had to be bottle fed around the clock. Unfortunately Larry didn't make it; the mortality rate for kittens this small without their mothers is very high. Berry did great and is now back at the shelter in one of our kitten rooms. He's having so much fun playing with all his kitten roommates, and he really gets along great with everyone. If you don't already have a cat or kitten and are interested in Berry, we recommend that you adopt another kitten to keep him company. They really do benefit from having a playmate! Berry and all of his roommates would be wonderful additions to 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!
