PAWS The charity will be expanding its operation on a foster-basis only and currently all but 2 of the animals in our care are in foster homes.

UPDATE February 2025
Following a recent announcement by the Board of Trustees, the charity has restructured to reduce operating costs and a decision was made late Dec 2024 to sell the premises at Delph, Oldham following a spend of nearly £15,000 in planning costs. Two planning applications were submitted to Oldham Council and subsequently failed so the board felt they could not further invest funds in unsuccessful applications. We hope that by significantly reducing our overheads we can help more cats and dogs in the communities that we serve. We will continue to fundraise by means of events throughout the year and this will help cover the ongoing costs of veterinary care, food, fuel, vehicle maintenance, etc. We will be serving various communities across the Delph, Oldham, Rochdale, Todmorden, Halifax, Calder Valley and Burnley areas. PAWS has been a registered charity since 2014, and was originally founded in 2007. We rescue cats and dogs who are in need of a second chance of a forever home.

TODAY IS
How many of our followers have a Black Cat?
These three cuties are in foster with us but are not yet available for adoption as they are young and need vaccinations etc.
We do however, have many other cats of all colours needing new homes. The cat situation is out of control in the uk and we need to find homes for our cats in foster to make room for the many more waiting for our help.

Callie is a friendly, confident female cat who recently came into our care following the sudden death of her elderly owner. Callie is 4.5 years old, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, flea & worm treated. She is currently with one of our foster carers settling into her new surroundings. She made herself known to everyone immediately upon exiting the cat carrier, purring away and exploring every corner. Callie is a stunning tabby girl and would make someone a superb companion. She has previously lived as an only cat and with adults only. If you would like to adopt Callie, please apply via our website on the link below.

Look at this handsome guy. Imagine cuddling up together on a cosy winters night. Norman is very fluffy and just gorgeous.
Some words from his Foster Mum
'It took a while but now he jumps on my knee almost every time I sit down. Loves chin/head rubs and tolerates the brush for while. Then he'll sit beside me or go in his little house.
Normans Details are on our website

Congratulations to everyone who has been successful and received this fantastic donation.
We have all our fingers and Paws crossed here at PAWS HQ in the hope that we might be selected. We are a small rescue but we are very hard working and determined to help as many dogs and cats in our community as we are able. We are foster based and we are so lucky to have so many dedicated carers who do a fab job! We have over 30 Dogs and Cats in foster placements currently. Many of our dogs and cats are on special diets, some are poorly and in need of vet care and nursing back to health. We have animals in permanent foster due to medical and health issues that, mean they would not be suitable for re-homing generally. All this comes at a cost and we have to find the money!
Voting is now closed but perhaps our followers could share this post to show this amazing opportunity from The Benefact Group
