Story

Don’t you love the feel of a cat’s fur? Mine is white and tabby, a nice brown color. I’m called Tucker. Did you know that the name Tucker means “cloth softener” or “cloth weaver”? I’m especially glad for my coat because I am one of 18 cats who were left in the parking lot of a boat store in December 2024! We were left together in 2 carriers/containers. A rescue group brought us to Paws and Claws, where could be safe, warm, and receive the care and attention we need and deserve. I was adopted in April, but unfortunately I was returned to the shelter recently because my people were moving and could not take me along. I appreciate attention and petting, and I started playing a bit my first day here. When you meet me, please touch. Please pet. Please talk to me. I’d love to have people spend time with me. I hope that someday soon I can be someone’s very own Tucker boy. Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story

“If you are very strong, you must also be very kind.” – Pippi Longstocking. I would love to go home with someone who is very kind. People here are very caring. I’m Pippi and I am estimated to be around 1 year old. I came to Paws and Claws from another rescue with two other kittens, Monkey and Jesse. I tend to be a little bashful, but I`ll be thrilled if you pet me. I like to talk, and I like to play too. I get along well with other cats, especially my friend Attica, so I might like having kitty companions in my new home. I’ll be meowing, “Yippy skippy!” when you adopt me to be your darling Pippi!

Story

Have you got a spare throne you’re not using? I’m Leecy, which is what my person called me as a nickname for my original name, Elise. Five years ago, I was surrendered to a vet clinic because my person could no longer care for me. I was adopted from Paws and Claws, and now I am back because I was not getting along with the other cat in my home. I am 11 years old now, and I am looking for a home that will truly be my forever home. My person was very sad to give me up. She said I was “the queen of the house” and that she called me “somewhat neurotic.” I guess she meant that I only liked being around her but not with other humans. I don’t like children. I don’t like other animals. Sometimes I slept with my person, and sometimes I was affectionate. I like playing with toys. I like both wet and dry food. I would do best living with a single person and with no other animals. If your home is your palace, do you have room for me? I’d love to be your lovely Leecy girl.Adoption fee $50 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story

Cinnamon buns! Just the thought probably makes you feel warm all over, doesn’t it! I wasn’t warm when I was found walking into someone’s home in rural Wisconsin! I was hoping to get out of the cold! I’m a 7-year-old tabby named Cinnamon. No one came forward to claim me, so I went to a rescue place. Now I’m here at Paws and Claws. I am a girl who values my space and wants clear boundaries. I can be nervous and may hiss and growl if I am approached too quickly. I prefer to observe from a distance and choose when I feel comfortable engaging. Someone from the rescue described me as having an energy level that is mostly low to moderate, and I settle best in a calm, predictable environment with minimal pressure. I was hissing and avoidant prior to the vet visit at the shelter soon after my arrival, but once I was caught, I did not fuss at all! I will need slow, respectful handling and will benefit from a quiet space, patience and a consistent routine that allows me to build trust at my own pace. If you have a quiet home and have the time and patience to let me adjust at my own pace, I’d love to be your Cinnamon girl. Adoption fee $50 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story

Mark your calendars. There’s a Tortoiseshell Appreciation Day; it’s April 17! But it should be every day! I’m Catherine, one of a large group of cats plus other animals who came to Paws and Claws from another rescue in early September. I had originally been found as a stray, and I live up to the tortoiseshell’s reputation. I am a highly spirited girl, full of spunk and sparks. Do you remember the moral of the fable about the tortoise and the hare? Slow and steady wins the race. If you are to win me over, I will require patience and understanding. If you can purr-severe, I will sense your compassion. Love wins. When love wins. I win. I deserve love. We all do. Catherine.Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story

Remember “Finding Nemo”? I’m a tuxedo kitty, and I’ve never seen a movie, but I’ll bet you have. Dory’s a fish. Dory said, “When life gets you down do you wanna know what you’re gonna do? Just keep swimming.” Easy for a fishy fish to say! I’m a kitty cat. But I guess I understand. I was found as a stray and was brought to the Carriage House Vet Clinic in Kasson. Then I came to Paws and Claws so I can find a forever home. Since I got moved to a new room here, it’s been taking me a while to adjust. I feel most secure when I am in a hiding place. Normally, I am good with other cats and like to play. Don’t worry. I won’t “drown.” I will tread water. I will swim. Before you know it, I’ll be diving in! Splashing and having a ball! No one can keep Dory down! You’ll see! You will love Dory, and we’ll get along swimmingly.Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax
