My story

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

Scrounging for food, water, and shelter, dealing with all sorts of weather, cars and trucks, critters who would prey on cats, including a few humans…it’s a dusty, dirty, rough life for a homeless cat. Are you looking for a handsome, big orange tabby to be your trusty companion? I’m Rusty, an adult male who was found as a stray in Oronoco. I had some sores and wounds on my head. I told you, it’s a tough life out there for stray cats. I’m safe now. I have a dry, comfy place to sleep and good food to sleep. I’m so grateful for attention. I eat it up! I love being petted. I also love playing with wand toys. I have a mellow side – sometimes I think it must be fate that I wound up here – life is so different now. There are so, so many other cats here, but when I’m lounging on top of the cat tower, it feels like it’s just me, Rusty, and it’s like all’s right with my world. You must see things from my purr-spective to appreciate the wonder of this place. Hug your cats. Love them dearly. And trust me when I say that I dream of a home where I’ll be loved and cherished as someone’s gorgeous, delightful Rusty boy.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Paws and Claws Humane Society (PCHS) is a non-profit, mostly volunteer organization that rescues and shelters homeless cats and dogs until they can be adopted into their “forever” homes. We want our clients to understand that adopting and animal is a lifetime responsibility and commitment to that animal.

All prospective adopters must show (at the time of adoption) a valid drivers license or other acceptable identification to verify their name, address, and age. Adopters must be 18 yrs of age. Children under the age of 12 years old need to be present at time of viewing shelter cats or dogs.

After submitting an application, there is generally a processing period of 1-3 days in order to complete all pre-adoption checks and paperwork before an adopter may take possession of the animal.

More about this rescue

Paws and Claws Humane Society is committed to partnering with the community to shelter, protect, and seek adoptive homes for abandoned or lost companion animals.

We have served Southern Minnesota for over 30 years and we are the largest shelter in the 8 surrounding counties that does not limit the length of stay for the animals in its care.

Paws & Claws is funded completely on donations and fundraising events and receives no federal, state, county or city funds.We currently have nearly 900 dues paying members.

Paws & Claws has a community fund to help pay for the spaying and neutering of companion animals for those who cannot afford it.

We give over 40 tours and presentations annually, educating the public [including over 400 children] about proper animal care and the importance of spaying and neutering companion animals to help control the pet population in Southern Minnesota.

We have over 110 families that participate in the Guardian Angel Program [sponsoring animals] each month.

Paws & Claws will take in an injured animal and get the emergency medical care that it requires.

Local veterinarians in and around Rochester help Paws & Claws by providing over 145 free spay or neuters each year.

In a typical year the shelter will facilitate adoptions and provide care for over 600 dogs and cats.
