We’ve had some big updates happening and are excited to share them with you.. 💚🐾 we are working hard behind the scenes to bring our larger facility to life. The new facility is located in Holland OH, it's 17,300 Sq foot, this increases our space by 12,300 sq ft. We will finally have room to take in more cats, more storage, and room to grow as needed. We are modeling this new shelter as beacon for animal welfare, with enhanced programs, medical, and above all hope. The Shelter for New Beginnings isn’t just for us here at Paws, it’s for community and you can be a part of it, big or small it all matters. Help us create a space where there’s more room for cats in need, more hope for the future of animal welfare and more compassion for many years to come.

There are many ways to help:
Large donations - space naming rights.
In kind donations, services such as landscaping, moving vans, manual labor.. etc. - public acknowledgments.
Large Item donations- we will need 3 sets of new washer/dryers (large capacity) electric. Cat enrichment items- cat trees. Intake cages -we have one supporter who donated for us to buy one bank of cages, but we still need at least 2 more, we do have to order this through a specific supplier, but if you are interested in helping please email: [email protected]

We have a Building Amazon Wishlist started for the new building, this list is to help us obtain larger items like the heavy duty shelves we will need to store kitty food, litter, litter boxes, blankets, beds, cleaning supplies and so much more.
Benches that will be placed in all the free roaming rooms, so visitors, adopters, volunteers can sit and spend valuable time with the cats and kittens.
Folding tables and chairs for our training and gathering center, where we will able to continue to host our own fun events but soon at a much larger scale.

Please join us in the vision of what this new shelter stands for 💚 New Beginnings 💚

Mama cat Lana arrived today with 3 newborn kittens that had been born 48 hours ago. While everyone is doing well, the addition of 3 neonates and mom was unexpected and has put an even greater demand on our supplies.

With kitten season in full swing, we are going through supplies much faster than anticipated and could really use some help from our amazing supporters. We are almost completely out of:

• Wet kitten food
• Liquid KMR
• Pumpkin purée
• Paper towels
• Garbage bags

We can also use any of the other items listed on our Amazon Wish List.

With Prime Day happening today, many items on our wish list are currently discounted, making it a great time to help us stock up on supplies for the cats and kittens in our care. Every donation makes a huge difference and helps us continue providing the care they need.

Home update: Miranda/Maisy!

From new adopter:

“Update on Miranda! 😻

We changed her name to Maisy! It’s been now 11 days with her and she has adapted really well to us! She loves to cuddle and knead, she embraces her kitten tactics and likes to play non stop and gets the zoomies like crazy and loves to climb! She is the perfect fit to our family and is already spoiled and loved!”

Thank you for choosing adoption.

Novelle and her babies are officially ready for adoption!

Born and raised in foster care, these little ones have grown into healthy, chunky, playful kittens who are ready to find their forever homes. They are friendly and affectionate but can be a little shy at first while getting to know new people and surroundings.

Mama Novelle is around 2 years old and is the complete opposite. She's incredibly social, outgoing, and loves attention! After doing an amazing job raising her babies, she's ready for a family of her own.

The kittens are approximately 3 months old, and their names and genders are listed under their photos. If you're looking for a sweet, playful companion (or two!), consider giving Novelle and/or one of her babies a forever home.

Meet our 3 longest residents: Jovie, Ivory, and Fern!

These 3 have been with us for far too long. They are incredibly cat-friendly and absolutely adore other cats. In fact, they find comfort and confidence in their feline friends, so they will need to go to homes with other cats already in the household.
When they first arrived as strays around 8 months old, they were very shy and unsure of people. With lots of patience, love, and encouragement, they have come such a long way and are finally learning that people can be trusted. While they may still be a little timid at first, they are sweet, gentle, and people-friendly once they feel safe.

After spending so much time in our free-roaming room, they've become quite the experts at lounging, napping, and snacking and let's just say they're getting a little chunky!

Jovie, Ivory, and Fern are not bonded and can be adopted separately, but each would thrive in a home with feline companions to help them continue building confidence.

Please consider opening your heart and home to one of our longest residents. They have waited long enough for a family of their own!

Han Solo, Padmé & Vader!

These 3 adorable 3 month old siblings came to us from a difficult situation and have spent the last 2 months getting healthy, strong, and ready for their forever homes. They are Leia's babies (their sweet momma who we recently posted about!) and they have come such a long way. Now healthy and ready for adoption, Han Solo, Padmé, and Vader are friendly, social, playful kittens who love other cats and spend their days running, playing, and exploring. They are full of personality and can't wait to find families of their own!

Our shelter is bursting at the seams right now! We have no open cages, our free-roaming rooms are full, and we have cats and kittens waiting in the back who need space to move into our adoption areas.

To help more cats find homes, we're offering: $10 off kittens 4 months to 1 year
$20 off all adult and senior cats

Every adoption makes a difference. When you adopt one kitty, you help save another by opening up space for a cat in need. Right now, adoptions are more important than ever.

All of our adoptable cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines as age-appropriate, receive flea prevention, deworming, and any other care they need before finding their forever homes.

Please stop by during our open hours and meet the many wonderful cats and kittens waiting for families. We have cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels just hoping someone will choose them.
