About the rescue

Raised with patience, matched with care.

Gentle Paws focuses on safe placements, loving homes, and kittens who are treated as family from the first day they enter rescue care. The goal is not fast placement. The goal is the right placement.

Home readiness

Clean indoor living, daily companionship, food, water, veterinary care, and enrichment matter.

Thoughtful matching

Each kitten has a personality. Families are guided toward a companion that fits their household.
