ABOUT US
Precious Paws Rescue is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization devoted to saving the lives of stray kittens and their moms, spaying and neutering them and finding them their "Forever Homes".
Our organization consists completely of volunteers who depend on donations and fundraising to operate. We have no paid staff. We operate on the principal of full disclosure. We would greatly appreciate your help and support. It is a very rewarding experience to know you have rescued a mom and her babies and to care for them and watch them grow. An even bigger feeling of accomplishment to see them find their "Forever family". A truly heartwarming experience!

FOSTER CARE
WITHOUT FOSTER HOMES,
WE CAN'T RESCUE CATS AND KITTENS IN NEED!
CAN YOU HELP?
Precious Paws Rescue is a small shelter facility. There are going to be times that we don't have enough room for all the moms and kittens we have rescued and will have to turn some away. That's where your help is much needed. We rely on volunteer foster homes to care for some of our rescued moms and kittens while we are working hard to find them loving, forever homes.
There are many rewards of being a foster parent. The devotion and care you give during this time allows the mom or kittens a chance to be adopted by a loving family. When you take in a foster animal, you are personally responsible for saving their lives and giving them a chance at a new beginning. Please consider being a foster parent. Call 716-512-5521 and leave your name and phone number and a brief message and a foster home coordinator will contact you with more information. Thank You!
September 2011... We need to find homes for all the moms and kittens from last year and this year! We have NO MORE ROOM at the current time for any animals! We have taken in numerous pregnant moms and now have loads of kittens! We will not be able to accept any more cats or kittens until we get the ones we have adopted. If you are looking to adopt a new, lovable, furry, companion...
Please call us at 512-5521. Thank You!
Your Donations are very much needed and meowfully accepted! Our moms and kittens are extremely grateful for your SUPPORT!
