Heavenly Paws Shelter

Over 1,000 Cats Rescued in 2025!

We are only a cat rescue (we do not accept dogs or other animals).

There are thousands of animal rescue organizations, all working for the same purpose. We are an all volunteer non-profit organization and we hope through our efforts, we will make at least a small difference and save a few lives with proper care in the process.

With your support, we can continue to accomplish this mission. We operate completely with the help of our generous sponsors and volunteers. We couldn’t do it without all of you!

Since our inception in 2004, Heavenly Paws Animal Shelter, Inc. has rescued, rehabilitated and found loving, forever homes for over 500 cats each year. Since 2022 we have rescued over 800 cats per year. You can find some of our successful adoption stories in our Facebook photo album, Happy Tails.

Saving Cats, One Stray at a Time.

Our Mission
