My story

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

Hello, Im SJ. Life here with my brothers is safe, but we dream of a quiet home. Were a bit shy, clinging to each other for comfort in this new world. Gentle touches and soft voices help us feel secure. I spend my days observing, quietly hoping for a friend who understands the time it takes to trust. Adopting me means gaining a loyal companion who thrives on patience and love. Will you be my forever friend?

Note from Paws humans: SJ and his two brothers lived with a man for two years until he had to move into a special home where he could be cared for, and they did not allow pets. It was a major shock to these poor brothers to suddenly find themselves in an animal shelter, no matter how nice. During quarantine we tried to let them run lose in our Isolation Room, but they just crawled under the cages and hid. Once they finished quarantine we decided to move them to the Zen Meow room, as they clearly need a calm, quiet environment. They all will let you pet them, but it will take time for them to really trust people. 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!
