Our shelter accommodates cats available for adoption, Feline Leukemia cats, and in a separate building our feral or other non-social cats.

We finally! have news to share about our enclosure expansion for the cats and fencing the parking lot in.
First, we are very grateful to everyone who donated to the project, we wouldn't have been able to do this with our monthly budget.

Construction on the enclosure at the front of the building starts on Monday, yay! The cats in our main room will have a larger, sunny porch.

The fencing project has been quite a process; it took weeks to find a land surveyor we could afford. We had estimates between $5600 and $1800 but found a friend of a friend who recently retired who did the work for us for $600, yay again! Then we had to hire someone to draw a site plan and submit the plan to get the permit for the fence. That cost was $1800, now we wait up to 4 weeks to get the permit.

The survey showed that our property line is much closer to our building than we anticipated so the fence will enclose a smaller area. That will also cost less as well.

With the savings on the fence, we are going to add security screen to an area we currently use for storage and turn that into another space for the cats to use. The space is right next to the very small patio they currently have access to, so another yay for the cats!

And the porch for our shy cats is going to get a face lift. It currently is enclosed with wood posts and hardware cloth. We have been dealing with termites in the posts and flies galore getting in that building. We will replace the wood and wire screen with wrought iron and security screen. At the same time, we will clean out the gap between the existing screen and block wall, fill in the gap with concrete and extend the porch to the wall. Getting rid of that gap will help keep the black widow spiders and trash that blows in from building up.

We will keep updating as the projects progress.

Meet Autumn.
At 2 years old she has found herself left on the streets to fend for herself, not spayed, no microchip; trying to survive in a colony of cats. We can assume she has had more than one litter of kittens who may or may not have survived if they were born with Leukemia. Autumn is positive for FeLV and FIV.
We can further assume she was an adorable kitten someone just couldn't live without, until they decided they could. Never taken to a Vet for basic care, probably never had a vaccine. Forced to a life she didn't ask for.
Thankfully a volunteer for a dog rescue who also manages TNR in her area found her. She looked for someone missing Autumn, but no one was found who knew her. She was taken for medical care, spayed, tested for FeLV/FIV, vaccinated and microchipped. Exactly what she deserved to have had done when she was that adorable kitten.

Autumn is with us now, safe for life. She is understandably frightened right now. She has a big kennel to herself, when she is ready, she can join the other cats in our leukemia room.

When she is ready, Autumn can be adopted, or you can help by sponsoring her with a monthly donation.

Our Story

Pawsitively Cats was founded in July 2010 as a Trap, Neuter and Return resource for the public. In 2012 we were called upon to take in more than 400 cats from another shelter that was shutting down. Many of those cats had health issues making the expense of caring for them even greater; with the support of a handful of dedicated volunteers and a lot of serious fundraising we managed to provide the cats with the best care possible. We took over the rental obligation for the properties those cats were housed at until 2015 when Pawsitively Cats purchased property and renovated that building to house our rescued cats. Our shelter accommodates cats and kittens available for adoption, Feline Leukemia cats, and in a separate building our feral or other non-social cats. Many of our cats are now in their senior years and will likely live out their lives with us. We also support TNR in the community thru education, trap lending and mentoring.

As a 501(c) 3 organization we are solely dependent on donations from the public to pay for every aspect of our operation. Your donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent IRS will allow.
