Claws & Paws Animal Rescue Center

Some TNR/TNVR clinics are non profit & receive grants to cover the cost of surgery & supplies (bedding, litter, supplies used before & after the surgery). They don't hold a cat overnight for recovery & they don't (usually) provide any other veterinary services. The local nonprofit clinic in my area charges $25 for a cat of either gender that is brought in in a trap. Plus $10 for a rabies vaccination. Tame females are $80. & tame males are $50. This compares to $500-600. to spay a female & $300-400 to neuter a male at a regular, for profit hospital. 💖 Individuals or groups doing TNR take advantage of these clinics when they are available and provide post-op care for ferals (recommended holding for males is 24- hours after surgery & females 48 hours (less if they are lactating or longer if they were late-term pregnant or in heat). If the TNR individual receives donations or do any fundraising, they may be able to provide surgery for cats they trap for little or no cost to the caregiver. This is why I repeatedly urge everyone feeding outside cats to try & find TNR help instead of just assuming you can't afford to have them S/N. 😽💕

This dog followed a kid on his bike today near CVS in Olney. Message us if the dog is yours. Must be able to prove ownership.

Luna has spent her life outdoors where she developed an awful ear infection that required surgery. She is on the mend now and is waiting on a home to call her own. She is 3 years old and is a shepherd- lab mix. She's very smart and after warming up to you she will be your best side kick.

Come meet Luna and fill out an app today!!

We are frequently asked if we help Richland County Animal Control.... here is your answer!! That's why we are here!!

This is Boy.

He's one year old. His life has been a rough road. He was recently abandoned on a property, so we brought him in to help find him a family. If you can't foster or adopt then please just come up and sit with him or take him for a walk. Oh and by the way, he smiles too!!

If you have any stuffed animals in good shape please bring to us as we will be giving them out for prizes at our upcoming carnival!!!

Oh the difference love can make!!

Please don't send your children up to Claws and Paws with animals to relinquish! There is paperwork to sign as we have to follow procedures when it comes to accepting animals. If you sent your child up today with a pregnant cat please contact us immediately.

Thank you Lisa for the donations!!!!! We appreciate you!!!!

4 month old gray kitten missing from Elliott Street in Olney.
Call Lucinda at 618 572 0868 if found.

Lady picked up on Wynoose blacktop. Do you recognize?

The general public has no idea ....

We need you to understand.❤️‍🩹

She's a beauty and she needs a place to call her own.... meet Whisper. She's pyrenees- anatolian. A true gentle giant

Nola and Bailey still sit together waiting. Not one person ever stepped up after their owner passed away a few months ago. We hate to separate them, however, the likelihood of someone adopting them together is little to none....obviously! Let's do what we can to get these girls a home. We promised their momma before she passed away that we would- let's make it happen!
