Announcements

Did you find kittens?

Spring and summer time at PAWS means "kitten season"! While the little cuties are adorable, kitten season is a hard time for shelters across the country as we become overwhelmed with homeless cats and litters of kittens. Check out our Caring for Kittens Site and Found Kittens Flowchart before you take a kitten home or to a shelter.

volunteer

Volunteers are the heart and soul of Centre County PAWS. We invite you to complete an online application and join the ranks of devoted volunteers committed to helping homeless and needy dogs and cats.

FOSTER AN ANIMAL

PAWS is able to help hundreds of cats and dogs find new homes each year because of the generosity of its foster families. You do not need professional experience to become a PAWS foster parent. All it takes is a loving heart, basic knowledge about the type of animal you will foster, good observation skills, and a desire to help companion animals.FOSTER AN ANIMAL
