My story

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

Hello, I'm Bernie, the cat with the curiosity of a detective and bravery of a lion. One day, I was exploring my human's house and found a strange portal (the dryer). Being the brave soul I am, I ventured in. Next thing I knew, I was at the shelter! They say I'm friendly; I'd say I'm just a great conversationalist. If you're looking for a brave, friendly, and curious companion who's always up for a new adventure (or a warm laundry pile), then I'm your cat!

Note from Paws humans: We'll have to take Bernie at his word, as we have no idea how he got here! He was sitting on the front porch when we came in one morning. To apply to adopt any of our cats or kittens, please visit our website and fill out our on-line application at https://www.pawsurbana.org/apply-to-adopt.

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!
