Paws to Care seeks to help the feral cats that reside on APSU's campus by transforming individuals' kindness into organized care. Our Story
APSU Paws to Care·Tuesday, October 9, 2018·
Paws to Care (http://www.apsu.edu/paws-to-care) seeks to help the feral cats that reside on APSU's campus by transforming individuals' kindness into organized care. Feral cats have had very little contact with humans

; they typically are born to stray cats or are stray cats that have reverted to feral behavior. From living in the wild, feral cats are more susceptible to feline leukemia, rabies, and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). Also, as they have never been spayed or neutered, feral cats reproduce at an exponential rate that easily can increase a population from 12 to 2,000 in four years! However, a group, organization, or club with more resources can participate in the Adopt-a-Cat program. For $300, you can provide one feral cat with vaccinations, a spay/neuter procedure, and food for one year. We also gladly accept Purina Cat Food (Purina Cat Chow Complete in the blue bag) or coupons to be used toward the purchase of food for the cats. If you have coupons or food to donate, please see Corina Ravenscraft at the APSU Woodward Library.

Good morning, everyone, and Happy Cat-urday! We wanted to remind you that we still have KITTENS available for adoption! Chouchou and GiGi are still patiently waiting for their forever homes! Mignon is pending adoption and we'll keep you updated. Their adoption fee is $125, and that's a DEAL, because they'll come to you fully vetted (spayed, vaccinated, de-wormed, de-flea-ed and micro-chipped).‼️BUT, we have a VERY KIND donor (Thanks, Steph! ) who has already PAID the adoption fee for one of them, so now she just needs the right forever home! 😻 Could that be YOU? Please send us a message if you'd like to add one of these cuties to your family. 🐾❤😺🎩

Good morning, everyone, and Happy Fur-i-day! We have some exciting news to share! The has been promoted from Office Kitty to Bedroom Kitty. With this promotion comes more one on one time with her foster as she learns what it means to be a pampered house cat. She frequently seeks out attention, is a constant purr machine, and gives her foster mom little "hops" to meet her hand and bump it when she reaches down to pet her. If you'd like to make this pretty, shiny black kitty a part of your family, please message us. 🐾❤😺🎩

Good morning, everyone! It's Thursday here on the beautiful APSU campus, and so it's time for another "Thankful Thursday" post. Today, we'd like to send out a truly heartfelt THANK YOU to some of our kind and generous community members, Janet N., Jeanne O., and Brittany, Adam and Henry May for sending us lots of wet food for Miss Sweet Potato and the kittens and dry food and treats for the others! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! 😽 We are so grateful for your help! Sweet Potato wanted to say, "Thank Mew!", too. (Photo credit 📸: Maggie Lehtola) We're still hoping someone would like to give this gentle, older lady a good, indoor forever home for her senior years. If you'd like to show her the BEST "good life", please message us. 🐾❤😺🎩

Good morning and Happy Furi-day, everyone! Happy Independence Day, too! We have the BEST smile to start your weekend. After almost three YEARS in foster care, our long-timer Hobbes (a.k.a. Pawdro Pawscal) has finally been ADOPTED!! THANK YOU to his new dad, Cody, for giving him a chance! And THANK YOU to Kelly, Brittani and Brandy for fostering him and never giving up on him. He has finally found his Calvin/Ellie and we just LOVE Happy Ever After endings! 🐾❤😻🎩(Photo credit 📸: Kelly Loy and Brandy Kincaid).

Good morning, everyone! Today's "Thankful Thursday" shout out goes to Mrs. Linda Stolz and everyone who helps us keep the campus kitties fed! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! Honestly, right now, we could really use some more wet food for the kittens and Miss Sweet Potato (who is still waiting for her forever home, btw).

Maleficent said to not forget about HER, too! She wanted to say, "Thank Mew!" and hopes someone who loves house panthers and void kitties will give her a chance. She's a playful 2-year old who loves to be petted and is an excellent office kitty! 😉Message us if you'd like to give her or granny cat Sweet Potato a good forever home. 🐾❤😺🎩 (Photo credit 📸: Brittani Marie)

Good morning, everyone! This morning, we'd like to do a "Pay it Forward" message and share a post from our sister rescue, Saving Kittens Sanctuary. They're one of the smaller, less well-known cat rescues here in Clarksville, but they do great work! If you're able, please help them help the kittens they rescue! ❤ Thank you!

Good morning, everyone! Today's "Thankful Thursday" post is dedicated to The Humane Society of Clarksville - Montgomery County for their tireless efforts to provide low-cost spay/neuter and reduce the number of strays in the community! We are SO grateful to have such an involved Humane Society in our community. It would be a million times worse if they didn't care as much as they do. They really do have the lowest priced spay/neuter in town! Yes, their waiting list can seem impossibly long, but they OFTEN have cancellations and you can get bumped up more quickly than expected. They also have a pet food bank for caretakers of feral colonies.

Amy Ansel Shaver , THANK YOU and your marvelous staff for serving the Clarksville community with such dedication! We ❤ you guys! Beautiful Fritz wanted to say, "Thank Mew!", too. She was spayed by the H.S. (Photo credit 📸: Brandie Duke) 🐾❤😺🎩

Good morning! Our last kitten post for today is GiGi. GiGi is the baby sister of the litter, and she is...well, let's just call it "extra". 😉 GiGi will talk to you all day long. She is so silly and sweet! She loves laying on her back and acting like a wet noodle. Her foster mom can scoop her up and she will stay on her back, looking adorable and looking up with those oh-so-innocent eyes. Please send us a message if you'd like to add this cute and goofy baby to your family. 🐾❤😺🎩

06/23/2025

Good morning! Our second kitten spotlight today is for Chouchou. She is the middle sister of the litter. Chouchou is playful, bold, curious and fun. She charges into any situation and wants to play and explore everything! Just look at those bright eyes and that mischievous smirk! You just *know* she's going to be trouble (in the best way possible, of course). 😉 Please message us if you're interested in adding Miss Chouchou to your family. 🐾❤😺🎩

Good morning, everyone! Today, we have three, separate smiles to drive away those Meown-day morning blues. We're giving each, cute kitten her own spotlight post so you can learn more about them. We're taking pre-adoption applications now, and soon they will be ready to go to their new homes! Their cost is $125.00 (which is a VERY good deal, considering how much $ we invest in their care and vetting). This covers testing for FIV/FeLV, spay, Vaccinations, de-wormer, flea preventative and the food, litter, etc. that we use while they're being fostered. Please message us if you're interested in adding any of these adorable girls to your family! 🥰

First, we have Mignon. She is the oldest sister of the three. Mignon is a lover! If you;re sitting down, she wants to be on your lap or shoulders. She is inquisitive and playful, but her favorite is snuggle time! 🐾❤😺🎩

06/19/2025

Good morning, everyone! Happy Juneteenth! It's also Thursday, so it's time for another "Thankful Thursday" post. Today, we'd like to shout out a HUGE THANK YOU to our fosters! They make it possible for us to adopt out cats and kittens who show up here on campus instead of taking them to the animal shelter. Brandy, Brandie, Brittani and Kelly, we are SO grateful that you have such big hearts and help us place the cats and kittens! We're saving lives, and you all are a BIG part of that. THANK YOU!

And just as a reminder, we have three, adorable kittens (GiGi, Chouchou & Mignon) and three adult cats (Hobbes, Maleficent and Sweet Potato) who would love to have forever homes. Please message us if you're looking to add a sweet kitty family member!

Sheba also wanted to say, "Thank Mew!", too. Her Siamese coloring really shows up in the sunshine! (Photo credit 📸: Kelly Loy) 🐾❤😺🎩

Good morning, everyone. Today's "Thankful Thursday" post is a shout out THANK YOU to the APSU STUDENTS who enjoy and care about the cats like we do! We've even had some students tell us that the campus cats are the reason they chose Austin Peay as their college home! 😻Tux, who is one of the OG campus cats, wanted to say "Thank Mew!", too. He's definitely a Gov, wearing his smart white gloves, tuxedo coat and tails! Doesn't he look handsome? (Photo credit 📸: Brandie Duke) 🐾❤😺🎩
