Our Impact
Real numbers from real work. We're committed to transparency and only sharing verified statistics.
How It Started
Before PawsNClaws ATX was official, one person started helping
Our founder has been caring for community cats and rescuing strays for years - long before this became an organization. This personal commitment is the foundation of everything we do.
The Backstory
What became PawsNClaws started with one person noticing hungry cats in the neighborhood. That turned into regular feeding runs, then placing shelters for harsh weather, then helping neighbors with their strays. One rescue dog (Buster) and one colony cat now live indoors as part of the family. The outdoor feeding continues daily. Now we're turning these personal efforts into an organization that can help more animals across Austin.
