🐈 We’ve launched a new Outdoor Cats page on our website 🐈

This page includes information about:
• Prairie Paws’ philosophy and policies regarding outdoor/community cats
• Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR/TNR)
• What to do if you find kittens outside
• When kittens may actually be safest left with mom
• Resources and guidance related to outdoor cats in our community

As kitten season continues, we hope this information helps community members make informed decisions and better understand the unique needs of outdoor cats and kittens.

You can view the page here:

Exciting news!
Our dog kennel construction project is officially launching May 28th, and we couldn't be more excited to share this milestone with you.
This project focuses on modernizing and expanding the amount of dog kennels in our facility, which is a crucial step in better serving the dogs and families in our community. While we're making these important improvements, we do anticipate longer wait times for dogs on our surrender list. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this project as we work toward our July 30th completion date.
Thank you for believing in our mission and supporting us every step of the way!
