Anyone who has ever watched a kitten or cat at play can understand the saying, “Necessity is the mother of invention.” I’m a 1 1/2 -year-old silver/grey tabby male named Thomas who came to Paws and Claws from another rescue group, where I had been taken after I was found as a stray. You know who was a prolific inventor? Thomas Edison! He invented all kinds of cool stuff, including the light bulb, the phonograph and the movie camera. What do cats invent? Toys! We love boxes, strings, bottle caps, and all sorts of stuff we can climb on and into, swat at, and bat around. I like to play! I am an energetic guy and can get overly rambunctious at times – I may mellow a bit now that I’m neutered. I’m very friendly, though, and I like being petted. Guess what else Thomas Edison invented – the first copy machine! So, the next time you call someone a “copycat,” think of Edison. Better yet, think of a gorgeous, young cat at Paws and Claws named Thomas and write that down on an application! See you soon!
Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

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.
