What does PAW do?
Lethbridge People for Animal Welfare {PAW} Society is (very simply) a cat
rescue and adoption program. Incoming cats are accepted based on their need
and availability of foster homes. The PAW Society is proud to state that we
support and provide cage-free environments. There are many different elements
to the PAW system, so please read below to find out more.

Where is PAW?
Lethbridge People for Animal Welfare {PAW} Society is operated out of Lethbridge,
Alberta, Canada, but also services the surrounding communities. Contacts can be found in
Lethbridge. Please click here for more information.
What does PAW do for the cats?
All incoming cats are checked by a Veterinarian if they have any obvious or
ongoing medical needs, vaccinated, and then, depending on the cat's health and
age at this point, spayed or neutered. If a kitten is adopted, the spay or neuter
will be done when they are approximately 5 months old. This surgery is included
in the adoption fee, therefore all follow-up kitten surgeries must be booked by PAW.
Basically, we take the cats in and supply the treatments needed so that they can
become healthy, wonderful pets (PAW provides cage-free environments).
We find permanent, loving homes for the cats.
Can I adopt a cat?
Persons 20 years of age and older are eligible to adopt a cat. People who are renting a
home must have the landlord's permission. More info about adopting a cat from
PAW (including prices and locations) can be found here.
What is a 'Foster home'?
A Foster Home is where the cat will stay, temporarily, before they find
their permanent family. Fostering is all done by volunteers, and is an
excellent way to help cats in need. For extended info about Fostering,
