We Are So Grateful For...
Volunteers
What would we do without our volunteers? They clean litter boxes, foster kitties, coordinate our administrative tasks, manage the adoption transport and process, give medicine and comfort, and always have a loving word or touch for all the cats in our care. We are grateful for you!
Foster Homes
Our foster homes allow us to provide a healthy, loving environment for our mama cats and kittens. It is a significant commitment to be a foster, and we have so many who always go the extra mile to make sure their foster cats/kittens receive the best of care. We appreciate each and every one of you!
Donations
A very special thank you to all those who donate to CLAWS either via PayPal or some other means. We continue to be amazed at the wonderful people in our community who routinely donate their time and money - we would not be able to do what we do without you!!!

Donations in Memorium
John L. "Jack" Crawford (1913-1999) was a life long Coloradan and rancher in Routt county. He had a love of the land and his livestock, and also enjoyed the wildlife on his ranch, especially the elk, whistle pigs, and his feral cats. Memorial donation given by Cynthia J. Crawford.
Earl C. Jones (1909-1988) and Ella Mae Jones (1921-2006) ran a sawmill together and sawmill camps throughout Routt county from 1939 until 1956. They have three sons, Larry, Darold, and Keith. A few months after Earl passed away, Ella Mae adopted a small black and white kitten for companionship - Kitten Kat. Until her death, 10/17/2006, Kitten Kat was her constant companion. Memorial donation given by Keith J. Jones.
Cass Weberskirch (Weber) (1911-1993) was a general heavy equipment contractor,
building bridges, roads, and ditches in Routt county. Later, he bought and ran Bear River Sand and Gravel, west of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Cass always enjoyed the company of his pets. Memorial donation given by Pearl Weberskirch.
Deborah M. G. Hause-Bates (1967-2000) was one of five children and the only girl. She was only 32 when she died, and left behind four children of her own: Todd, Jeffery, Bradley and Lexie. Her children were her entire life, and her headstone says it all: "Don't cry for me, because I'm holding the babies." Memorial donation given by Judith H. Mazrin.
Albert "Sonny" Cole - passed away Feb. 27, 2002 & Carol Gene Cole - passed away Oct. 18,2006. Dearly missed, may memories last forever. Memorial donation given by Greg and Rhonda Cole.
Thank You,
