We have 57 cats onsite, many being newly welcomed kittens staying in kennels while they wait for foster homes. And we urgently need kitten fosters!!! 🚨

Opening your home to some of our kittens helps them decompress in a calm environment, and creates more space for us to save more lives.

We provide everything you need, you just provide the love! Learn more about fostering with Paws and Claws and how to get started at www.pawsandclawscatrescue.org/foster

On Saturday, October 17—a beautiful autumn day in Evanston—our Paws and Claws community showed up to rally for the cats who need us most.

Rally for Rescues brought together more than 400 attendees for the biggest event in the organization’s history!

We finished tallying up the numbers and we’re so excited to share that we raised... $17,064!!

An event of this size takes a village, and we are so grateful to the businesses, organizations, our Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, and community members who helped make Rally for Rescues – Fall Fest possible.

Today we had what we call a “mission moment.” Our 5-year-old FeLV+ cat, Chard, was adopted!

Chard has spent the past 4 months in a loving foster home with Adam. During that time, he’s worked through a persistent upper respiratory infection and had a dental cleaning. As an FeLV+ cat, Chard is immunocompromised, making his recovery a little more challenging. With his strength and medical support, he became happy and healthy again!

And then, one lovely day last week, Mary reached out about Chard. She’s adopted FeLV+ cats from us before, and knows how wonderful these cats are, but how long they wait to find homes.

We’re so grateful to Mary for opening her heart and home to Chard and to Adam for loving him and giving him a safe place to stay over the past few months.

Happy Gotcha Day, Chard!!🥰

This mother-daughter duo, named after the main characters in Mamma Mia!, are ready to find their forever home.

Donna is a loving, doting mother to her little kitten, Sophie, with no time together slipping through her paws. Donna loves getting pets and chasing after her energetic daughter. Sophie is a classically rambunctious kitten: she loves roping her mother into roughhousing and, when she thinks no one is looking, showing off her goofy side through some intense play sessions.

Together, they’d love to go home with someone who enjoys giving them attention, whether through pets or play, but who also gives them space when they want some mother-daughter time, too.

Donna and Sophie are looking for a forever home where they can stay together. If you have room in your heart and home for these two, apply to adopt them today: www.pawsandclawscatrescue.org/adopt
