Our Story
TC Paw Cat Rescue was established in the Spring of 2023, following the retirement of the AC PAW rescue program for cats and dogs in northern Michigan. A dedicated group of volunteers, passionate about animal welfare, came together to ensure that the rescue of cats and kittens would continue. This all-volunteer, non-profit organization serves the greater Traverse City area, providing a second chance to cats that have been abandoned, found as strays, or surrendered by their owners.
With the support of local veterinarians, TC Paw Cat Rescue focuses on creating the best outcomes for all animals. The organization nurtures the human-animal bond through careful placements, assessing and thoughtfully addressing the needs of each animal, while considering the health and safety of both the animals and the community. Cats and kittens are placed in loving foster homes where they receive appropriate veterinary care while waiting for their forever homes.
