My story

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

Ellie May was found as a stray in Urbana, and was trapped by a TNR (trap, neuter, return) so she could be spayed. She was so friendly that they brought her to Paws Animal Shelter to find a permanent home. She's a bit overwhelmed at finding herself in a room with so many other cats, so she frequently likes to hang out in one of the cages (we're a free-roam shelter, but we have cages with beds in them for cats who feel more secure there. They can come and go at will.). She does like to be held and petted, and she's learning how to play. She's not at all aggressive with the other cats, so she would do well with just about 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!
