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 💚
