We rescue cats and kittens from local colonies, give them the care they deserve, and find them loving forever homes — one paw at a time.
Our Mission
“Helping little paws take big steps — and every cat find a place they belong.”
Since 2021, Little Paws has been working to reduce cat overpopulation in Mount Vernon, Illinois. We rescue cats from local colonies, provide veterinary care, and match them with families who are ready to give them a forever home.
We run entirely on the generosity of volunteers and community donors. Every cat we save is proof that local communities can solve local problems.
