Happy Holidays from Paws & Claws Feline Rescue

It will be a Merry Christmas for Paws & Claws and our cats and kittens! We can’t thank enough all our supporters who donated to help us pay our spay/neuter bills.

Thanks to you we’ll be able to start the new year without worrying about being so deeply in debt! We still need donations to continue to feed and vet over eighty cats and kittens currently in our program – it is very expensive to save these little lives. Your donation is tax deductible and unlike large charities, every penny goes to the cats and kittens.

Paws & Claws has adopted almost nine hundred cats and kittens so far - next year it will be over a thousand lives saved! Please tell all your friends and family to give a cat or kitten a home for Christmas so we can meet our goal for this year.

Thanks also to our many volunteers – we couldn’t run our program without you! Please consider volunteering your time to foster, clean cages, or help on adoption Saturdays. It is a very worthy cause and we definitely need volunteers if Paws & Claws Feline Rescue is going to continue it’s good work. Please send us an e-mail if you can help.

We now have three locations: Petco in Mooresville, PetSmart in Statesville, and we also have our very own adoption (and discount pet supplies) location at 120 W. Broad St. in the newly landscaped downtown Statesville. Come visit us and send adopters!

Thank you to everyone who has helped this year and best wishes for a very Merry Christmas and good health in the New Year!

Please visit us on Facebook and our website, and post pictures of the cats and kittens you’ve adopted from us or to send donations by PayPal, or mail to:

Miss Callie

Amanda writes,

“Cleo "Callie" is doing well and has adjusted to her furever home very well.  She loves playing with the other kitties and is such a sweet heart! We love her dearly. Thank you again for matching us!”

Molly

Linda writes,

I am enjoying this sweet kitty very much. She is so affectionate and makes me laugh almost every day.  She is the first cat that I have had that actually wants to play fetch with her little green felt mouse!  She is full of personality and loves playing with my other cat, Lucy.  I am so glad I found this sweetie through Paws & Claws.

We are so glad that Linda and Molly are living happily together. She is a beautiful kitty!

We have lots of other adorable fur babies looking for forever homes, too!

Sammy Update

Hope writes,

“All is well with Sammy.  He has grown and is still playful and snuggly.  I thought you might like to see a picture of Sammy with our outdoor cat (who comes in more now with the cold weather).  They are existing peaceably! This is excellent news for all concerned.  Maxine took a while to warm up to him and I believe she has accepted him into her life.”

Happy Holidays from Paws & Claws Feline Rescue

Tis The Season already! Paws & Claws has had a wonderful year! It’s been our best ever and we expect to have over 175 adoptions by the end of the year! That makes a total of almost 700 lives we’ve saved in our five years! We now have our cats in three locations: PetSmart and Cole’s Cat & Dog Rescue in Statesville, and Petco in Mooresville.

Our poor homeless cats and kittens need your help! In order to continue our successful program, Paws & Claws Feline Rescue needs donations to feed and vet over eighty cats and kittens currently in our program. We couldn’t do it without your support as it costs a minimum of $100.00 for every cat we accept into the program. Every penny goes to the program, unlike the big charities where the pets may get a dime of every dollar. We are a registered charity and your donation is tax deductible.

We also couldn’t survive without our wonderful volunteers. Please consider volunteering your time to foster, clean cages, or help on adoption Saturdays. It is a very worthy cause and we definitely need help if Paws & Claws Feline Rescue is going to continue it’s good work. Please send us an

Thank you to everyone who has supported us this year and best wishes for a very Happy Holiday!

Sammy

Hope writes,

“Hi Jean!

I thought you'd enjoy some updated pictures of Sammy.  He is doing quite well.  He still believes my feet are the enemy that must be subdued.  He is helpful and tries to help with the dishwasher and loves to "help" fold laundry. 

Since he seems to love to climb, I will be looking to build him a cat tree.  I think he'll have lots of fun with that. 

All the best, 

Hope”
