My story

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

“Please, sir, I want some more.” That’s what Oliver Twist said in the orphanage when asking for a second helping of gruel. I don’t think he got more, did he? My first owner tried to be careful about how much food he gave me because I tended to overeat. I’m Oliver, a senior boy who lived in my first home for eight years, but in 2023, I surrendered to Paws and Claws because he could no longer care for me. I was adopted by a nice lady, but now I am here again because her health issues are growing worse, making it difficult to care for me. Her daughter brought me back and said wonderful things about me. At 13 years old, I am not a youngster myself, but I still like toys, and I still love chasing my tail! I am an outgoing, affectionate guy who likes attention and was fond of sleeping with my person. I am declawed on all four paws. I was eating Purina Pro Plan Senior cat food, and I will still tend to overeat if you don’t monitor my eating habits. I’m a wonderful cat who will be a great companion for someone who wants a mature cat with lots of personality and charm. Oliver! Please, I want some more love!

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.
