Kirby's Story

There’s a church that posted this sign: “No bungee cords – we encourage leaps of faith!” That’s a bit what it’s like when you choose a pet, and when a pet chooses you. It’s called trust! I’m Kirby. Did you know that my name comes from a Norse word that means “church” and “village”? Some folks think black cats are scary – I hope you’re not among them, because I’m a sweet, gentle boy once I get to know someone. I came here because my person is moving and can’t take me along. I liked sleeping with her sometimes, and I liked the children in my home. They feed me well here; it's good food, including canned food. That’s a treat because I was just eating kibble in my home. It’s a good thing I like playing with toys. A guy needs his exercise to keep in shape! Maybe we can “work out” together! I’d love to go home with a kind, loving person or family. Because my behavior can be unpredictable, especially if I am startled, I would do best in a home with no young children. Will you take a leap of faith and open your heart and your home so I can be your Kirby boy? <br/><br/>Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

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.

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.
