My story

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

Hi! Im Josie, the superhero cat of the shelter. My adventure began when I bravely saved a group of kittens from a tricky maze of alleyways. With my super whiskers, I guided them safely to their momma, but in the process I got lost and ended up at a house with big, aggressive dogs. Yikes, fortunately a kind person brought me to Paws Animal Shelter so I could find a forever home. Im gentle, friendly, and love a good play session. If you need a hero to add joy and adventure to your life, Im your cat!

Note from Paws human: Josie had a circuitous journey to Paws Animal Shelter. When she showed up at the house with the aggressive dogs, they contacted a TNR (trap, neuter, return) group in another county. They in turn called Paws to see if we had room for this sweet, brave cat. Fortunately we were able to squeeze her in, as she really is a sweet, loving cat who would be a wonderful addition to any family (that doesn't have big ferocious dogs that is!). To apply to adopt any of our cats or kittens, please visit our website and fill out our on-line application at https://www.pawsurbana.org/apply-to-adopt.

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!
