Paws and Whiskers is a not for profit Ohio Corporation chartered in October of 1996. The shelter, governed by a Board of Directors, is dedicated to providing a safe haven for our unwanted feline friends. While providing shelter, food, love, and veterinary care for the area homeless, unwanted, and orphaned felines, we work to find them safe, loving homes. We are no-kill and the area’s only feline exclusive shelter, assisting over 8,695 cats and kittens in our first fifteen and a quarter years. We operate only on your donations.

Upon arriving at the shelter, each cat is weighed, checked for any obvious injuries, treated for intestinal parasites, checked for fleas and given a flea treatment. They are then given food, water and a safe, warm place to sleep. Each resident receives a veterinary exam. Adults are blood tested for Feline Leukemia and Immunodeficiency Virus. Kittens are tested for Feline Leukemia only. Residents have their ears, eyes, and teeth checked, and are vaccinated for calici virus, panleukopenia, chlamydia, and feline rhinotracheitis.
