Paws Place Animal Sanctuary Inc.

Paws Place Animal Sanctuary provides a safe haven for elderly animals and animals with special needs that have no where else to go. Can we count on your help in making a difference in their lives?

We are an all-volunteer organization and your gift is tax-deductible under the law.

Our Mission is to provide help and hope for people who have come to a crossroads in caring for their medically challenged or elderly pets. Through support visits, education, and nutritional advice, we make every effort to help pet lovers keep their animals healthy at home. However, if the time comes when it is no longer possible to do so, Paws Place can provide a safe, secure place in a foster home or at our sanctuary.

Our newest resident, Lady, is a female cat that was transferred to us from another organization. She was initially believed to be a stray. She presented with a severe infection in the hindquarters and tail, with part of the tail missing, likely due to trauma. Upon examination, a microchip was found, but her previous owners declined to reclaim her due to her injury and resulting bowel issues. We helped facilitate her surgery with our veterinarian, who performed a tail amputation and administered intensive medication. Her bowel function has improved, and her coat has regrown, but she is still unable to fully control defecation, likely due to neurological damage. She is now receiving monthly acupuncture and cold laser therapy, which is aiding her recovery. She remains a very sweet cat, and we are hopeful for her continued recovery and eventual adoption.

This is why we are here, what we do, and why we need your help. We are a sanctuary for those considered "unadoptable" due to age, health problems or behavior issues. Most of those with behavior problems come to us from a stressful, abusive home. Food and veterinary bills are our biggest expenses and we are dependent on the generosity of our supporters to continue our mission to provide these special needs animals with a safe place where they no longer have to live in fear, pain, or hunger.
