The 'Patti Paws' Story
During 'Kitten Season' from early spring to mid-fall, over 100 kittens, ages 8 weeks and under, are euthanized as "unadoptable" every week in Clark County because there is no one to take care of them. Upon learning this shocking fact, volunteer Patti, who had raised many kittens in the past, knew something had to be done to save these babies. Of course, it is best if all pets are spayed and neutered before any litters are born, but once they are here, we owe them the chance to survive and find good homes. With Patti's donation to get the program started, the "Patti Paws Rescue Program" was born. You are invited to become part of this rewarding effort.
It's Your Choice
You can choose the length of time you wish to foster, and the age and number of cats you are able to take in for us. We will match you with just the right ones. You may help approve adopters and help place the right cat with the right home. You can refer potential adopters to us for careful screening and home visits |
