My story

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

You girls and women named Teresa out there – did you know that your name comes from a Latin word, terra, that means “earth”? Nature lover extraordinaire, Jane Goodall, said, “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you.” For better or for worse. Thankfully, there are some wonderful humans out there! I am Teresa, a brown/orange tabby adult female. I am one of 18 “’T Cats’” who were abandoned in the parking lot of a boat store. We were crowded into two crates and left there. Happily, a rescue group brought us to Paws and Claws, so we are safe from the cold. We have shelter, food, and kind-hearted people looking after us, making a positive impact on the world and on us, especially. Like some of my friends, I am one of the nervous ones of the group. However, I like petting if a person comes up to me cautiously. If you’re gentle and calm, I could purr for you. You’ll be planting seeds of courage, and with time and patience, I can blossom and flourish. To the world you may be one person, but to one person – or to one cat – you may be the world. (Credit to Dr. Seuss). I’d like to be part of your world as your Teresa.

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.
