There is a gypsy proverb that goes like this: After bad luck comes good fortune. I’m just over 3½ years old, and I’ve already had a good deal of both good fortune and bad luck. I was first adopted from Paws and Claws in October 2022, then returned in September 2023 because I did not do well with the children in that home. Then I was adopted again the following spring, and my person thought she would love me forever. Now her mother brought me back because her daughter left me with her mom and said she no longer wants to take care of me. Her mother brought me back to the shelter. So, here I am again. I’m hoping that the third time will really, really be my lucky charm. My “grandma” – my former adopter’s mom – said that I am kind, affectionate, and playful. I like toys, and I do like children. She said you should be aware that I might nip when I don’t want to be petted, so I may do best in a home with older children. I did okay with other cats and dogs, but I would prefer to be “an only child” in the home. I love sunbathing and birdwatching. You may notice that I am no longer a petite boy, so I could benefit from more exercise in the form of play and dietary monitoring under veterinary supervision. I truly am a lovable guy, and I am hoping for a forever home as someone’s terrific, true-blue friend, Thomas.
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.
