Gilbert was the last of the 4 kittens we have been awaiting a foster for.

Oddly enough, Mama cat also was part of our TNR efforts at the end of April - so after being spayed and released she went back to her babies and continued their care ((we did not know she was a nursing cat or about the kittens at this time)).

When they were able to walk and follow mama, they all wound up at a ladies front porch outside of the trailer park where mama came from. Since then we were asked to take them in, but with the lack of open fosters for kittens we had to wait. The lady was able to feed them and get them slightly used to people, but with her health she needed our help!

We were finally able to find a foster and get the kittens - Gilbert being the hardest to catch but the most in need, which we found out today.

Under his neck he had a wounde and for some time a botfly has nestled in, and burrowed itself. Today we were able to get Gilbert to the vet office to clean it out and start antibiotics 💜

I also paid our bill from the last couple weeks of other vaccinations, medications etc for our rescues and it was a hefty $630!

Any donations to help continued care will be appreciated! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=7T5CVQSJ945T2

Missy continues to blossom in foster care and we are so proud of her journey! 🐾 This beautiful 1.5-year-old lab mix now loves running around the yard with her dog foster brothers and can’t get enough of belly rubs from her favorite humans. 💕

She’s becoming more playful and affectionate with people she trusts and is slowly building confidence around new people — a huge step forward for this once timid girl. With patience and love, she’s showing more of her sweet, silly self every day.

Missy would thrive in a home with:
✅ Another well-matched, playful dog
✅ Patience, space and time to adjust
✅ A fenced yard, preferably!

She enjoys curling up in bed with her human at night but also loves her own cozy dog bed. 🛏️ Plus, she’s food and treat motivated (and super smart!), making her a great candidate for ongoing training. 🍖🧠

We hope to find this sweet girl her furever home soon! Think she’s a fit for you!? Contact us!

Paws and Claws (PAC) of Alleghany County, North Carolina, is a compassionate, community-based animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing and improving the lives of dogs and cats in our community.

We offer in-home fostering for rescues and provide support for community cats and dogs in need.

Our mission is to provide services and support to improve the lives of dogs and cats in Alleghany County, NC, and our vision is to create a community where every pet has the chance to lead a healthy, happy life.

We believe this can be achieved through four core principles:
1. Adoption and Rescue:
We rescue and find loving homes for shelter animals, as well as those experiencing neglect or abuse, while educating the community on responsible pet ownership.

2. Community Connection:
We support local pet owners with supplies, financial assistance, and educational resources on veterinary care, spay/neuter, and responsible pet ownership.

3. Support for Shelter Dogs and Cats:
We enhance the adoption potential of shelter animals through enrichment, socialization, and partnerships, while educating the public on the importance of adoption.

4. TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return):
We reduce feral cat overpopulation through TNVR, ensuring healthy feline communities, and provide education on humane management and responsible cat care.

Through partnerships with the local animal shelter, foster homes, and other rescue programs, PAC is working toward a future where every animal receives the care, love, and respect they deserve.

Together with local supporters and animal lovers, we are striving to create a compassionate, life-saving community for cats and dogs in Alleghany County.

We have an ongoing donation link through PayPal - https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=7T5CVQSJ945T2
