Wow! Felicia Day nailed it when she said, "Perfect is the most boring thing you can be, so go ahead and mess up big." I'm Sienna, a beautiful, fluffy, brown tabby and white, medium-haired, front-declawed girl who has been adopted and returned twice. Did I mess up, or was I just not the right fit for my adopters' homes? I was first adopted in November 2020 and was returned the following June because of "unpredictable behavior." I was adopted soon after that and remained in that home for three years, but I was returned because I was fighting with the other cat. Also, I would become upset because I hated being inside and was not allowed to go outdoors. They wanted to keep me safe, but I didn't understand. My owner thought that I might do best as an only cat because the stress of being around the other cat caused some behavior issues. I might do well with some stimulating activities I can do indoors, such as watching birds at a birdfeeder through a window while at a window seat - or even a catio! Watching kitty videos that feature animals on TV or playing games for cats on a tablet/iPad with my person might be fun, or possibly even learning to go for walks with a harness and leash. I also hated being brushed, which is important because of my long fur. There are different brushes and combs, even mitts, that can be tried, but all cats, especially those with longer hair, need to be groomed regularly to prevent mats. While I may not be a perfect cat, I hope that I may be just right for a patient, creative, cat-savvy person - like YOU! There is so much to love about me, so I hope you'll give me a chance to show you what a wonderful, lovable girl I am. Now I am 6 years old! The third time will be FUR-ever! Come in and meet Sienna today!

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.
