My story

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

This chunky boy is Hefty and he is the definition of a `gentle giant`. He gets his name from his blocky head and dense figure - he would make an excellent lap warmer! He came in as a stray, so unfortunately we don`t know much about his past. What we do know is that since the moment he came in we could tell everything was so scary to him, but he never once hissed or swatted. He leaned into pets and buried his head. He tolerated all of the cares he needed at intake. He`s just a shy soul that is looking for the right person to understand him. Even now, he is free roaming in the cat colony and is gentle as can be with the other cats. He mostly just hangs out in his little hidey spot by the window. He`ll come out for pets though, they are his favorite and they make him feel comforted! If you`re interested in providing a safe space and loving home for this big guy please give the shelter a call at 218-675-7297.

Go meet their pets

Paws and Claws Rescue & Resort is open to the public Mon-Fri from 9am-4pm. We do require you to have an appointment set up for weekend meet and greets and adoption. Please call 218-675-7297 for more information.

If you see an available pet that you fall in love with, but you are unable to come in right away to meet them, please call us for more information about the pet. If they sound like the perfect animal to complete your family, you can place an adoption hold. This non-refundable hold of $25 will apply towards your adoption fee. If you are serious about adopting a pet, this hold will ensure that no one else will be able to come in and adopt it before you have the chance. Adoption holds are good up to 2 business days after all the necessary medical and behavior tasks have been completed for the pet. Call 218-675-7297 if you see an animal that peaks your interest!
