Poe's Story

Writer Edgar Allan Poe said, “Never to suffer would never to have been blessed.” Is that why they named me Poe? How much suffering does a cat have to go through? I am one of 30 cats who was rescued from a home with too many animals. Yes, I am blessed to be here. I’m hoping to be blessed with someone to love me. I am still unsure about people, but if you speak softly and approach slowly, I will sniff you. Small, cautious steps will lead to progress, to familiarity, to acceptance. To blessings. Mr. Poe said so.<br/><br/>Adoption fee $50 + 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.
