My story

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

Hello there, I'm Sophie. My days are filled with playful pounces and gentle purrs. I'm a mother, you see. I've spent my days teaching my two kittens the art of chase and the beauty of a good nap. I've seen them grow, learn, and find their own paths. Now, it's my turn. I've got a lot of love left to give, and I'm hoping to find a family who can share in my joy. I'm sweet, playful, and ready to bring warmth to your home. Adopting me means welcoming a friend who'll cherish every moment with you.

Note from Paws humans: Sophie arrived at Paws Animal Shelter with two kittens who were just two weeks old. The entire family went into foster care right away, where they were very socialized and loved. As a result, they're all super friendly. Once Sophie's kittens were weaned and back at the shelter, Sophie went to a second foster home for three weeks so her milk could dry up and she could then be spayed. Sophie's second foster mom describes her as follows: 'I know from Sophie's other foster family that she was a wonderful mother. She missed her kittens, but she's just out of kittenhood herself, so we saw her playful side right away. She just loves to play with toy mice, and she will go after fishing pole toys relentlessly until she is forced to stop to catch her breath!'

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!
