PAWS (Paws Animal Welfare Society) was founded
in 1987 by a small group of local and expatriate volunteers. Through their
generosity and imagination, PAWS was constructed on a patch of land owned by
Sime Plantations on the Subang Airport Road. This distinct group of sheds and
courtyard still stands today and currently homes around 450 cats and dogs.
PAWS has been asked to relocate as
the area is undergoing major development. Faced with this issue, PAWS has
formed a taskforce dealing with land and relocation matters.
The staff that work at PAWS include
one veterinary surgeon, volunteer vets, and a number of full-time staff. Every
week we have visits from around 5-10 volunteers and we would love to see more
as there is always plenty to do.
Our organisation depends entirely
on the generosity of the public through donations or proceeds from charitable
events organized and run by volunteers. Our purpose is to look after stray cats
and dogs and try to re-home them if at all possible. Due to our current
circumstances we no longer operate any private boarding (kennel) facility. If
you need your cat or dog looking after while you are away and cannot find a
friend, relative or neighbors to do so, please contact your local vet who will
be able to advise.
