Sherlock and her brother Watson were abandoned on a farm in Logan County. The farmer was feeding feral cats on her farm and was getting them spayed and neutered. These two very friendly and very hungry kittens cat showed up one day, and it was clear that they were not part of the feral colony. They were less than two months old, which is way too young to be fending for themselves, even with someone to feed them. They were brought to Paws Animal Shelter to be cared for until they find their forever home. They went through quarantine and are now in one of our free-roaming kitten rooms. They're quite a bit smaller than their roommates so they hang out together a lot and play. They're very sweet, loving, and playful kittens who 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!
