About this shelter

Paws and Claws Feline Rescue in Statesville, NC

We are a non-profit rescue organization that has successfully rescued and rehomed over 1,000 cats and kittens as of August 2015, marking our seventh anniversary. Our operations are funded entirely through donations, grants, and adoption fees, with no compensation for our volunteers. Every donation received is fully allocated to the care of our cats and kittens and is tax-deductible. We are continually seeking dedicated individuals who are willing to volunteer their time with our rescue group. We have an ongoing need for foster homes to provide temporary housing for our cats and kittens. For more information, please contact us via email. We invite you to visit our Downtown Adoption Center Store, where you can purchase items for small animals, dogs, and cats. All proceeds from these purchases go directly to Paws & Claws Feline Rescue.
