My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Thank you, God, for giving me coat of gorgeous fur and for the ability to communicate with mews and purrs. Thank you, too, for saving me from winter’s cold and snow. And Lord, you know that most of all, I wish for a happy home. I’m Kirby, a 7-month-old black and white male who was found with my brother, Lewis, in Columbia Heights. My name, Kirby, means “church settlement.” Our finder would have loved to have kept us, but she already has five cats. I am a sweet, affectionate boy who likes playing with toys. Our rescuer fed us Purina Kitten Chow and Friskies paté. Both Lewis and I liked curling up on her lap, and we responded with plenty of purrs. You can pick me up and hold me too. Lewis is more bashful than I am, and I think we would really like to be adopted together. Once you get to know Lewis and me, I know you’ll agree that your home is where Kirby and Lewis are meant to be!

Adoption fee $150 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Paws and Claws Humane Society (PCHS) is a non-profit, mostly volunteer organization that rescues and shelters homeless cats and dogs until they can be adopted into their “forever” homes. We want our clients to understand that adopting and animal is a lifetime responsibility and commitment to that animal.

All prospective adopters must show (at the time of adoption) a valid drivers license or other acceptable identification to verify their name, address, and age. Adopters must be 18 yrs of age. Children under the age of 12 years old need to be present at time of viewing shelter cats or dogs.

After submitting an application, there is generally a processing period of 1-3 days in order to complete all pre-adoption checks and paperwork before an adopter may take possession of the animal.

More about this rescue

Paws and Claws Humane Society is committed to partnering with the community to shelter, protect, and seek adoptive homes for abandoned or lost companion animals.

We have served Southern Minnesota for over 30 years and we are the largest shelter in the 8 surrounding counties that does not limit the length of stay for the animals in its care.

Paws & Claws is funded completely on donations and fundraising events and receives no federal, state, county or city funds.We currently have nearly 900 dues paying members.

Paws & Claws has a community fund to help pay for the spaying and neutering of companion animals for those who cannot afford it.

We give over 40 tours and presentations annually, educating the public [including over 400 children] about proper animal care and the importance of spaying and neutering companion animals to help control the pet population in Southern Minnesota.

We have over 110 families that participate in the Guardian Angel Program [sponsoring animals] each month.

Paws & Claws will take in an injured animal and get the emergency medical care that it requires.

Local veterinarians in and around Rochester help Paws & Claws by providing over 145 free spay or neuters each year.

In a typical year the shelter will facilitate adoptions and provide care for over 600 dogs and cats.
