In Paula’s own words
“When we began this journey in 1997, we made a promise to Chicago's homeless pets: that PAWS would work to end the unnecessary killing each year of tens of thousands of helpless cats and dogs.
Today, as we enter our 25th anniversary year, we — and the animals who depend on us — have so much to be grateful for.
Our solutions-based approach has led the way to a 91% drop in euthanasia citywide since our founding. We've performed more than 280,000 free and low-cost spay/neuter surgeries, found loving homes for more than 70,000 pets, and consistently saved 98% of the pets who come through our doors. And while these achievements are remarkable, it’s just the beginning.
We wouldn't be here without incredible people like you whose commitment to building a No Kill Chicago has made a real difference in the lives of cats and dogs. Our generous supporters were simply extraordinary in 2021, and each of the last 24 years. Thanks to you, PAWS Chicago is a groundbreaking leader in animal welfare with a passionate army of supporters, volunteers, fosters and adopters who literally save lives every day.”

This interview first aired on Wednesday the 29th of May, 2024 on ONE FM 98.5 Shepparton.

One FM fill-in breakfast announcer Plemo interviews Sharon Terry from the Shepparton animal shelter about their upcoming cat adoption day.

Greater Shepparton City Council is encouraging community members to find a perfect companion for the winter and give one of the many cats and kittens currently at the Shepparton Animal Shelter a forever loving home.

Cat Adoption Day: Saturday 1 June, 10am-2pm, 125 Wanganui Road, Shepparton

Adoption fees reduced: $30 for cats over 12 months, $100 for kittens.

Over 40 cats and kittens seeking homes

Adoption fees for cats over 12 months of age have been reduced to only $30, whilst the adoption fee for kittens is $100. No appointments are necessary, just turn up during the specified times for a meet and greet.

Adopting not only changes the life of the cat you adopt, it also frees up space in the Shelter so they can take in new animals in need.

Animal Shelter staff encourage people planning to attend the day to check out the available cats online on Council’s website and choose their favourite feline friend. There is also an online pet adoption questionnaire which can be completed before you get to the Shelter to save time on arrival.

All cats have been vet checked, desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, treated for worms and fleas and are ready to take home on the day. Don’t forget to bring a carrier to take your new furry friend home, or you can purchase one from the Shelter on the day.

Visit the adoption page on Council’s website to discover the cats and kittens available.
