Poquoson Animal Welfare Sanctuary, or P.A.W.S., came to be in 2013 when lovely rescuer Barbara Holloway deeded her property to a handful of like minded rescuers upon her death. Barbara trapped, neutered and returned many ferals in our community and was their constant caregiver, although she was battling cancer. She kept wonderful records of all of the injured and abandoned friendly cats she rehabi

litated and found homes for many of them. Poquoson gave P.A.W.S., a 501(c)3 organization, a conditional use permit to house 100 cats on the 3 acre property with house and cat condos. Our cats are "adopted" by wonderful people who wish to allow them to live their lives at the sanctuary. We have ferals, semi ferals, friendly cats with behavior issues and medical special needs. These are cats that would not make it in our shelter system! We have fixed over 1500 cats in our area to stop the overpopulation and suffering. Citizens contact us about lost and found cats and we are often able to help get them back home to appreciative owners. We do loan humane traps and give advice on ways to catch a lost cat. Our rescue is run strictly by volunteers who give their time and compassion to ensure the kitties are healthy, happy and loved! We spay/neuter and get veterinary care for many cats and provide food for colony caregivers throughout the city. Our adoptable cats and kittens are cared for and adopted out through our foster care families. We are very thankful for Barbara's generosity and mission as we continue to carry it forward in her memory! Thank you for your support for the kitties as we are only able to help them with your thoughtful donations! We are available to meet visitors by appointment by calling 757 868-1379.

“Ollie the Brave”

Adventurous ‘Ollie’ has quite a story… This little traveler was found in a car engine in a Walmart parking lot. A customer heard meowing from under the hood of a car and discovered little Ollie. No one knows how far this boy traveled inside the car (nor how he survived). Ollie has a big personality to match his daring! Call Tonya at (757) 880-5043 to meet him. 😻
