Kir came to Paws with her litter of kittens and their father when they were found abandoned in an apartment. All the kittens and the father have been adopted, but Kir is still her. Hopefully she'll have her own home soon.
Kir loves people and often greets visitors to the room. She is also fine with other cats. She would be a great family pet for an active home with kids.
Kir is about 2 years old. She is spayed, current on all her vaccinations, micro-chipped, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV.
About Paws PAWS is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in continuous operation since 1962 by Westport, Connecticut resident Betty Long to rescue homeless dogs and place them in permanent homes. In the early 1980s, our rescue efforts were expanded to include cats. PAWS rescues & rehomes approximately 115 dogs and 435 cats annually. Many of the dogs faced euthanasia at local pounds and most of the cats that we help are strays and abandoned cats that roam our streets. A portion of the pets that come to PAWS have been relinquished by their owners who are no longer able to care for them. As we are a registered non-profit, all contributions to PAWS are fully tax-deductible as allowed by law. PAWS has a handful of paid staff and a team of dedicated volunteers that help with everything to fundraising, to kennel work, to walking dogs and much, much more. Every person at PAWS is a valued & needed member of our team - without them we could not accomplish the miracle that happen every day! For 37 years, PAWS rented space from local boarding kennels & veterinary hospitals. Over time, the demands placed on us by the community increased and we felt that in order to increase & expand our services, we would need our own shelter. In 1999, PAWS undertook the task of building a shelter of our own. We moved into our own shelter in 2001 and have since greatly increased the number of pets we have been able to help.
