Catherine's 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.<br/><br/>Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Paws and Claws Humane Society's Adoption Policy

IMPORTANT UPDATE Although our shelter is open to potential adopters during the viewing hours listed on this page, Paws and Claws prefers to schedule viewings and adoptions by appointment. To make an appointment to meet and adopt one of the companion animals on our Website, we ask that you fill out an online application. Potential adopters can either click on the ADOPTION APPLICATION link on the right side of this page, or visit our Website at pawsandclaws.org and go to the "Willing to Adopt a Pet" section, then select the orange "Adoption Form" box. This will allow you to access the Adoption Guidelines and Application Form. After reading the Adoption Guidelines, either complete the online adoption form and return it to us, or print the Adoption Form, fill in the required information, sign it, and email it back to us via info@pawsandclaws.org. You may list up to four animals that you would like to meet. We review the emails every day. We will process all applications in the order that they are received and then once your application has been approved, we will contact you and set up an appointment for you to meet the animal(s) and if possible, do the adoption on the same day you come in.
