See our adoptable pets at: pawscharlescity.com We are dedicated to preventing neglect, abuse and cruelty towards unwanted or abandoned animals. Some had to move.

The PAWS Humane Society (Floyd County Humane Society) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that works closely with the Charles City Police Department. We strive to encourage humane care and treatment for the animals we shelter and see that their interests and well-being are humanely protected by an aware and caring society. All the animals in our shelter are stray with a story we may never know. Some of them unwanted and have been abandoned, while still perfect in all the important ways. Many have been cast aside by their owners. Some owners didn’t have enough time. Some dogs were surrendered because they barked too much, others because they didn’t bark enough. We don’t always know the reason why these animals are brought to us and never claimed, but we’re here to show them that they’re worth saving. The one thing all these animals have in common is that each is hoping for you to bring them home and give them a loving new family. We hope you will help us help them.

Join us for a microchip clinic after hours at Avenue of the Saints Animal Hospital - Charles City! 🐾
You can chip up to 3 of your pets for only $10 each, and that includes a lifetime registration!

No need to make an appointment, just stop by with your pet and please bring cash to pay for the chip. Only requirement is to live in Floyd County. Please bring friendly dogs on a leash and cats in a carrier to keep the process running smoothly.

Accidents happen and microchips are one of the most reliable ways to truly identify a pet. Fun fact, ours also take your pet’s temperature! No more awkward vet visits 🤭

We are so thankful for grant funding from the Floyd County Community Foundation to be able to hold these clinics for Floyd County Residents! 💙

Farm/acreage/shop cat homes desperately needed ASAP! Please help us help these cats! 🐈‍⬛❤️🐈

PAWS has a group of cats in a variety of colors & both male & female that we need placed on farms/acreages or as inside/outside homes before the weather gets any colder. We need them to have shelter & daily food/water. 🏡

All cats will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated & chipped. Adoption fee is waived but a donation is appreciated, if able. Ideally the cats should go in pairs but not required. 🐱🐱

Please text 641-228-0262 or email: [email protected] if you can help!

BIG news! Lily, the last kitten of mama Mopsy, found a wonderful home! She was the most shy in the litter & took awhile to adjust to her new home but the adopter who met her at Petco was super patient. Lily has 2 new kitty friends! ❤️❤️

A really happy cat adoption happened early October! Sparkler kitty came to PAWS early summer very malnourished. She was overlooked by adopters because she is a quiet cat.

Thankfully a kind couple chose her & she fits in wonderfully with their home & other cat. Her new name is Mocha! 💗
