I put in a relinquish app for 2 of my cats because I have to many and they have some kind of allergy, I can not afford a vet right not as I am 65 years old and on Social security. They r sister cats. I explained that in my application. I never heard anything. So I put the app back in about 2 weeks later. I still did not hear anything so I called. They said sometimes it takes a few days for them to read all the apps. I waited another week. Still nothing. So I put the app back in. Finally I get a email saying they don't take sick cats. I explained to them that the cats were not sick. Just had stuff wrong that I couldn't take care of because of financial problems. They r heathty cats, they r fixed. Never been outside. But they itch all the time. Plus I have 2 many cats. I need to find homes for a couple. These r the youngest ones. I don't understand because I see they have a fund to administer vet service on the cats. Now I do not know wat to do. They need to be surrendered. I don't know where to take them. My other cats r fine, I have that is 19 yrs old. No ther explanation why they will not help me, I really need to surrender these cats. I live by myself and my check is all I have

I went there for the pet food they give out once a month. They have kept the process simple and easy. Despite declining donations, they give all that they can.

Their procedure on treating cats for ringworm is absurd. They will only treat a cat for ringworm if it is visible, which I completely understand. However, if multiple cats come in together & one has visible signs of ringworm, but others don’t, they will only treat the one cat with the visible signs. Ringworm is highly contagious & all cats who have been exposed to it should also be treated.My daughter recently adopted a cat from there & realized she signed an agreement to adopt the cat “as-is.” She assumed the cat was okay, considering they let her walk out the door with it. Within days of getting the cat home, she had to take her to the vet because she was missing patches of fur & I told her it was ringworm & the cat would need treated. She was put on meds & my daughter isolated her from the other 2 cats in the house. During that week, she noticed one of the other cats now had a missing patch of fur, so she now has to take that cat to the vet.I did call the shelter earlier today to see if they could help out with more treatment for the other cat, so my daughter didn’t have to spend more money on another cat due to the shelter not treating the cat for ringworm. I was told that wasn’t an option due to the agreement she signed & that the cat wasn’t treated for it because she had no visible signs of it, but the cat turned over with her did have visible signs & was treated. To top this all off, I was giving my 3-year old grandson a bath tonight & noticed 2 ringworm spots on his neck & calf. So not only does my daughter have to spend money on treatments for cats & a toddler, she now has to buy supplies to try removing the ringworm from her entire house. I now will have to do the same at my house.This is just a warning to anyone who is desperate enough to adopt a cat & do not take the time to read the adoption agreement in its entirety, or to ask the proper questions. Had I known about the shelter’s procedures on multiple cats & the treatment of ringworm, I would have completely dissuaded my daughter from adopting from there.

So happy with the staff at Paws and Whiskers! Adopted a little male cat and he is so lovey. The staff has been nothing but professional and kind... They have been there with helpful advice and tips. Stop in and see the cats/kittens just waiting to start their new lives with you...

Update: Around 10/1/23, Paws & Whiskers cleared out the FeLV+ room, took these sweet cats off their adoption website, and put them back outside. And they admitted this to a previous adopter when asked.They call themselves “compassionate”. Where was it toward these FeLV+ cats when they put them back outside to fend for themselves, and right as winter is coming?They call themselves “no kill”. They just gave these FeLV+ cats a sentence of untreated illness and early death.---My husband and I fostered 141 kittens for Paws & Whiskers over 4 years from May 2019 until the board made the decision to replace management in June of this year, and ultimately drive away the rest of an amazing, compassionate staff.Prior to the sudden management change, we had been saving money to help purchase an incubator for the shelter and another generous couple joined us to provide the other half of the funds with the understanding that it was to be used in the shelter to help stabilize critical intakes more efficiently. We finally saved enough and made the donation at their kitten shower in April. The incubator was ordered and delivered in early May. The previous manager and staff were extremely grateful and excited to start using it.Then the manager was replaced by a new director in June and everything changed. We tried to continue fostering, but we quickly started seeing a decline in standard of care, foster support, and treatment of the staff so we stepped away from fostering for them. They also stopped taking in the kittens/cats that need help the most...orphan neonate kittens, special needs cats, and cats with serious health issues, illness, or injuries. That was the whole purpose for the incubator, so it wasn't being used.I requested the return of our donation (while we were still fostering for them) and the request was rejected. I was told that we made a good faith donation to help purchase a "vital piece of medical equipment we use."That "vital piece of medical equipment we use" sat high on top of a bank of kennels for months collecting dust while kitten season was still raging. They never used it.Yesterday, that "vital piece of medical equipment we use" was GIVEN AWAY to the director's friend who is an independent kitten foster. And she also already has an incubator.I had been told by both the board president and the new director that they were "staying true to the mission and helping every kitten/cat they can", but obviously that is not true. They are not helping every kitten/cat they can because they are no longer helping the tough cases that our good faith donation was made for. They even have the Phoebe's Fund that is specifically for the critical cases that they have chosen to no longer help.We asked for our donation back and got denied, then they turned around and gave it away to someone else without hesitation.This is textbook disrespect toward a donor and misuse of an expensive good faith donation.Be careful and use caution when choosing shelter organizations to donate to. Watch their actions, ask questions, do your research, and confirm their integrity. Make sure they have the best interest of the animals in need as a priority, they care about their staff, and they respect donations from their donors, especially significant ones. I wouldn't want your good faith donation to be given away to the director's friend instead of being used at the shelter as you intended it to be, like ours did.If they decided not to use it, we should have been given the option to take it. They know we foster a lot of kittens, and we helped pay for it. It wouldn't have been difficult for them to show some decency and return our investment as we requested. Clearly, they knew they weren't going to use it themselves.No consideration or respect was shown toward us, everything we have done for the organization over the last 4 years, or our donated money. At all.With the prior manager and staff, the shelter was the most compassionate place in our community for cats and kittens

Thank you so much for caring and going the extra mile. I’m so grateful for rescues like yours that bring some brightness and hope into our community. We need more shelters who put these sweet babies first. Your staff deserve much more credit than they receive. Bless you and your wonderful team!
