Poquoson Animal Welfare Sanctuary, Inc. is dedicated to the rescue and placement of abandoned, abused, and neglected cats in and around Poquoson, VA.  Our vision for these animals is a safe place that will provide them with food, shelter, medical care, rehabilitation, adoption opportunities, and most importantly, love.  Spay/neuter is a priority to control the overpopulation of these animals in our community.  We live in a community that is off of the Chesapeake Bay and can frequently flood in areas of the city. We also oversee several TNR colonies. They are than feed and monitored. The sick cats who need more assistance are placed in the sanctuary. P.A.W.S is a non-profit organization 501(c)(3) that relies on public support in the form of volunteers and donations.
