My story

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

Before Paws Animal Shelter opened one day, a woman came to the door with a one-pound kitten her son had found in Springfield. This lady had been feeding this little 1-lb kitten cow's milk which should NEVER be given to a kitten. Poor little Tammi had a big belly, fleas, and ear mites. We knew she would be better at the shelter than in that terrible situation, even though we were actually full. Tammi was sent to foster care right away since she was so tiny, and she flourished there. She's back at the shelter now and is finished with quarantine so she's in the Scratching Post room now, one of our free-roaming kitten rooms. She's a very sweet, playful kitten, and she's thoroughly enjoying all her new friends and playmates. She would be a wonderful addition 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!
