Our Mission Matters

Who We Are

Cutie P.A.W.S. is a community-centered rescue that blends medical care, holistic wellness, and the belief that healing happens best when cats feel safe, understood, and loved.

Our work focuses on:

✔ TNRh — Trap · Neuter · Rehabilitate whenever possible

✔ Lifelong sanctuary for cats who lose their housing, who have high cost medical needs, or those that cannot safely return outdoors

✔ Whole-health care and trauma-informed handling

✔ Rural outreach and support for underserved communities

✔ Emergency boarding for families in crisis

✔ A foster-driven wellness model

✔Creating a healing haven where both people and cats can feel safe, supported, and able to heal together

What Makes Us Different

We don’t just "Trap · Neuter · Return"

We practice TNRh — Trap · Neuter · Rehabilitate, giving community and feral-born cats a chance at healing, socialization, and adoption when life outdoors is no longer safe.

We are building the first holistic, whole-health cat sanctuary in Northern Nevada — where care is gentle, cage-free, and grounded in compassion.

Our Promise To Northern Nevada

To show up

with compassion

We meet every cat and every person with understanding, dignity, and care. Hardship can hit anyone — and when it does, we show up with compassion first.
